"I worked with fresh CS students, [and] they were not equipped to develop web applications as someone who had been using CF for a few years."
Agreed - but that's true for any job. Experience usually trumps knowledge. But consider how many people who have been using CF for a few years, with no CS experience, can move into a pure programming job (using C++, Java, etc)? A CS student can do that. Again, a person with a few years of writing real-world C++ or Java is going be better than the fresh CS student. A CS student can move among the many disciplines of computer science because he's got the fundamentals. I'm just wondering - what is your source for saying that the vast majority of jobs are going to be in web dev? - Matt Small ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
