At my uni (and beyond) they really focused on learning how and why programming languages work and the basic concepts and data structures/algorithms/etc., and not focusing on learning the syntax only. I love pointers, and I try to use them whenever practical, haha. I'm very confident that I can learn the ins and outs of any language syntax in a day or less due to this approach. Yeah I'd really like to learn perl and python but I have to find some good projects to apply it towards, otherwise I'll just end up forgetting what I learned. I don't have much interest in hacking/intrusion/shady stuff but I do love to make DIY projects for around the house. Right now I'm almost done making a midi controller footswitch for one of my guitar pedals.

What do you do for a living and what kind of degree do you hold??

BS in Computer Science.

Project Leader

That's what computer science is. Programming language is just a tool used to solve computing problems.

I'm still a web developer... and I still hate it.

At least I work for myself and from home. :P Doesn't stop my main contract's project manager from being a micromanaging SOB though. Not sure how that works.

Looks like the majority of us are IT folks.

Ahh I hate that. I'm full-time for a local hosting company so it's not that bad. I get to split my days at the office/from home 3/2, so it's nice. I gave up side work for now. My last contract was going smooth, not really hands-on, until they hired a new product manager. I had to get home from the office and immediately call in for a meeting everyday. I dropped that job the week she was hired lol.

Seems like everyone is IT these days. :icon17:
