8/8 How well do UCB EECS and CS newgrads know C/C++? (in general)
\_ If it makes you feel any better, Stanford undergrads start out
take 3 quarters of "Introductory Programming" in C instead of
SICP.
\_ on average, better than other schools' new grads, with a
lot more upside
\_ That's right. They stopped teaching C/C++ in 61B in favor
of Java right? So you have to learn C/C++ somewhere else
or in 61C or the upper division classes.
\_ Well, they know VB and VC++. They know java 1.1 and some swing.
they should know ansi C. That's it.
\_ If you don't know what you're talking about, shut the fuck
up. No one here teaches V-anything except for the occasional
160/169 lab group that picks it up on their own. Swing isn't
taught almost at all either.
\_ you are stupid. Look at the original question. you _must_
be a class of 2k|2k+ grad. Say, nerdboy, he asked what do
you _know_ now what you are _taught_ and if you've been a
good little nerd eecs boy then you've had internships, and
guess what you're learning on those internships? It ain't
BSD. (and don't bother erasing this, I've got a perlscript
to keep placing it back).
\_ last I remember, people were concerned about learning
asp, jsp, servets, and oracle stuff. This was more
of a concern than C, C++. I assume they'd know C from
60b, or 61c. And some C++ (but not much about templates
and certainly not much about makefiles. - paolo
\_ C/C++ is dead. Everybody is learning the new Microsoft
Language C- --social science major
\_ Many classes still use C++. Also, really, a berkeley grad should
be able to learn languages quickly. -nweaver
\_ Indeed. I learned LISP from scratch (with no prior LISP/ELISP/
Scheme knowledge) in a few days when I took my CS164 which used
LISP to write the compiler.
\_ When(/where?) was this?
\_ Now you are ready to learn K -muchandr
\_ Well, C++ the OOP language is getting whacked by Java
mindshare-wise. I think the GP stuff might grow popular enough to
give it a new start though. We'll see. -muchandr |
