Contentious Topic: Is Managed Code Bad for the Art of Programming
Im just thinking after reading punzki's blog entry here about becoming a spoiled programmer because he has gotten use to managed code. Im sure he is a good bloke and good programmer.
Just bouncing off that statement, it makes me think how well prepared my 5 years of teritary education have prepared me for the world out there.
I have forgotten almost all of my C knowledge san scanf, printf, &myVarAddress, #include stdio.h etc. These days almost all students are taught Java, VB and C#. Just for the record, I am a VB guy.
Most schools only train their students to write simple business applications and software. The students are not trained in the hard stuff like C or COM etc. They will suffer later in their programming life.
Look at me, I have been programming for awhile, but Honours shook me. Not just my honours project but my other postgraduate unit reminded me that I only know so little.
Back to my managed code topic, by managing and providing so many services, do you reckon the competnecy of future programmers will be affected? Managed code, does it advance the art and skill of programming?
