Ivy League Computer Science Curricula Exposed

Posted by timothy on from the so-you-don't-have-to dept.

Doug Treadwell writes "Many people have wondered what the difference is between the Computer Science education given in the average public university versus one given in an Ivy League university (or a top level public university). There have also been discussions here on Slashdot about whether any Computer Science curriculum gives students the knowledge they need for the working world. As a computer science student both questions are very important to me, so I decided to answer them for myself and build a website to share what I found. I was able to find the required reading for hundreds of courses at Stanford, Princeton, Carnegie Mellon, and Berkeley; along with some other institutions. This should also help answer some of those 'What should I read?' questions."

    Please Mac web designers, stop using Helvetica on the web. It looks absolutely dreadful on Windows, hundred times worse than Arial.

      That's IE. I have IE8 installed and I've noticed a dramatic difference in the way it renders fonts as opposed to Firefox. Someone got a little AA happy I suppose.
