FlyingRhenquest 1 #36 January 28, 2014 wmw999 I failed the only computer science class I took in college. This was less than 10 years before a 25-year career as a computer programmer . Wendy P. Most of the CS classes I took had very little to do with programming in a business environment. And even though a couple of them may have been applicable, I've seen very few other programmers actually apply what they learned there in a business environment. Take Data Structures. Perfect example. I took it in college and since then have probably written 8 or 9 linked list implementations (Which usually have FIFO and LIFO stack accessor functions built in,) 2 or 3 hash tables and a LOT of btrees at various companies. I've never seen another professional programmer write an implementation of any of those things. Mmm scratch that, there were some excellent examples in the original AT&T UNIX source when I had to audit it for security holes. Those guys were truly exceptional programmers. Admittedly it's not such a big deal with the advent of Java, but it's not that common that I see people use the data structures java gives them correctly either. They just put everything in a hash and access it with hard-coded strings. Brilliant. I got a clue as to why when my nephew asked me some questions about the CS class he was taking a couple months ago. One of the items on his assignment was trying to introduce them to design patterns and wanted them to write a singleton as an example. A fucking singleton! Sure it's easy (As long as you're not in a multi-threaded environment,) but they've been so abused (probably because they're the first and often only one anyone ever learns,) that there's no way in hell you're ever getting one past a design review board. Even when one might be justified. People grumble and say they're better than global variables, but they're not! Here's a second one for me, since it's just us talking here. I've justified the use of GOTO in C programs three times over the course of my 20+ year career. I probably could have worked around using them, but I really didn't want to. I delight in the idea that somewhere deep in the General Electric inventory system still lives a GOTO that I put there.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
