This sort of training shouldn't be happening at the University level. It is an insult to educators worldwide, especially those who hold Ph.D.'s, that they have to teach the basics over and over again. Our education system needs to be completely revamped to wipe out the concept of grades (1st-12th) and eliminate the distinct segmentations between "grade school" (1-12), "college/university", and "the workforce". You know you aren't learning anything useful when you have to "reinvent the wheel" to get a grade. Children today have already figured this out and this: http://cubicspot.blogspot.com/2007/09/education-and-business.html Is part of the unsurprising and expected outcome. In terms of programming in C/C++, I've got four (six?) words for educators: Safe C++ Design Principles. Use an existing platform to build the next generation platform. Then build on the new platform. And so on. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task. Stay on task. http://www.CubicleSoft.com/MyTaskFocus/
