Ivy League Computer Science Curricula Exposed
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."
Heh.....the very sad truth of the matter is that NO font looks good on windows. I say this as a windows user.....every day I come in and look at the text on my screen and feel sad thinking what it could be. And that's to say nothing of the hideous color scheme (Fischer Price blue and green....what were they thinking? It is bold, I will give them that)
Qxe4
What's the real difference between an Ivy League degree and a state school degree? A shitload of money and some elitism. If you're looking for a practical difference, you should spend your time looking for something more probable, like a bigfoot.
