Speaking of education, i was wondering if i could get some ideas from LUGs on
what to help guys in CIT Makerere, We have a club called the programmers club
but, as for the past year has been in-active, what i would like to know is
what is relevant to be taught right now to enable students of today to be able
to measure up in the next 5 years, and survive rather than feeding deprecated
knowledge.
Also , i would be welcome to some of the ideas you guys might have for the
next generation of Programmers :) in Uganda :)
..... Thank You :)
