Re: [Plug] Pro Unix Colleges
|
Any computer science degree these days concentrates highly on programming,
and you can't teach it effectively without unix. So, any CPSC cirriculum
that is serious has to be running on Unix.
In my opinion, look for a good CPSC program, and check if they run Unix.
And don't forget about the state schools. I personally went for CPSC at
East Stroudsburg Univ, and I got a lot out of it, and I don't feel
short-changed because I didn't go to a bigger and more well-know school.
If he person who started this thread is someone who is looking into
colleges, and looking for additional advic, drop me a line.
