I wonder what it will take for that mindset to change?TonyGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043319857943176014.post-52700732468360745172015-06-24T04:04:05.323-04:002015-06-24T04:04:05.323-04:00This matches my experience.

I have seen many people who come into engineering with little practical experience, all theory, and don't know how to apply it in the real world.<br /><br />However people who have the real-world experience first, then go onto do a degree (I include myself in that category) are able to go to University and as the theory is learned say to themselves 'yes, I can see how I would use that' or even 'no, that's good in theory but won't work in practice'. Whereas others without that experience don't have the framework on which they can select what is appropriate or not, they have no choice but to accept everything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043319857943176014.post-45189711411662224002014-08-04T06:50:52.221-04:002014-08-04T06:50:52.221-04:00"Ironically, those that learn to code outside..."Ironically, those that learn to code outside of the University setting are more likely to be aware of the dynamics involved in live environments as they tend to be learning in those environments"<br /><br />I'm not sure I entirely agree on this. Most people I know who did CompSci at university, self taught themselves to program when they were at high school, and then the university experience taught them focus on top of that.<br /><br />From my experience, I was self taught in Basic, C, Pascal and x86 assembler from ages 11-18, then I did Software Engineering at University once I had already written loads of software, where I had massive experience in working directly with hardware limitations.<br /><br />University then took that rawness and molded me into being able to design software in an OO way, taught me how to document it and test it, as well as loads of important concepts such as how memory management, file systems and multi-threaded systems work.<br /><br />When I got a development job after university, I had massive advantages over the two guys who got hired at the same time who didn't have comp-sci degrees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
