Call it what you will, but the bottom line is there is no way people can learn to be a software developer with this rubbish. It takes most people years to get even CLOSE to learning proper design techniques. Even then, I see people that are Computer Science majors about to graduate that still barely grasp the concept of object oriented design, let alone anything like logic or functional programming.
Hell I have been programming for 8+ years and even when I finally got into the business world I am STILL learning a fair bit. Foundation is everything, and you're not going to lay a solid one for software development in a years time unless that person is a damn prodigy to begin with.

Another disturbing part is the fact that the passwords they have are obviously not hashed...
