hehe, Ive had 4 years in C and C++ what we coding //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Good one - but that's plain old C //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif C++ seems pretty old school now. Surprised they still teach it.

Many schools use it as a stepping stone to other languages. Alot of the modern languages share alot of similarities with C/C++, like Java for instance.

here is some code I wrote a couple semesters back so you know im not pulling your leg

Just seems odd when a currently useful language like Java is so similar. Learning to think in Objects is the biggest obstacle so language specifics aren't that critical. Surprised they aren't using SmallTalk or Ada //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif At least they aren't teaching C##. I'm guessing the people who establish these curricula aren't exactly cutting edge types.

Well, another reason for teaching these old languages is because there is still a ton of code out there to be maintained/updated.

For instance, COBOL is still ran in thousands of businesses, yet there are a fleeting number of cobol programmers. Hell CA couldn't change the wages of some people because of a limitiation in the COBOL code, and all of there COBOL programmers had retired.

For someone coding in an archaic language they could easily command there own salary over 6 figures, doing basic work. Just because the code is many but the programmers are few.

nice, ill let you no

 

[lilmaniac2 5,000+ posts]

hokay, just don't pm me expecting me to be able to write a complex program in 20 minutes, a day or so of advance would be nice, depending on the complexity of the program of coarse

Good point. God I'd hate to have to maintain old code - every day could be just like Y2K!

Haha, He does have a point though. I know that GEICO still has all of there stuff in COBOL. Must ****, I know somebody who maintains their stuff and the only programming language he knows is COBOL, that's all you need when you get an in at a corporation like that I guess.

for 6 figures, i would maintain that old code //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I took some C and Matlab, I got pretty decent at it, but I don't have any time. I'm up to my dick in Thermo n' Statics.
