Uso kasi. ... [snipped] ... 80%, wow! and this is from UP. Pero know what, I agree with your observation - I think that there's a higher percentage of CS students (not only in UP) who are into it not because they like computers or programming but for other reasons (uso, there's money, parents, etc.) >I have few students who actually like coding - most of 'em would rather >download existing code from the 'net. Again, VB and Java. :-) Code re-use :) The Holy Grail of Object-Oriented Programming? Me guilty as charge of code re-use :) Whether it be ActiveX (VB), modules (Perl), classes/functions (Java/PHP). With Javascript minsan pa nga note code re-use na eh - cut-and-paste. But then again, students should be discouraged from getting too much of their code from the 'Net - maybe one or two controls/functions/classes. Cheers, -- Joshua L.
