    As I recall, Qt will do the garbage collection for you, assuming you use its classes.

  3. Re:Do NOT consider CS graduates! Period! on Programmers for Scientific Research? · · Score: 1
    I have a B.S. in Physics. I am now going for a M.S. in Computer Science. That said, I find it hard to imagine that eliminating CS degrees would exactly help any search since many people major in science XYZ and then get a higher degree in CS to round out their marketable skills. Eliminating CS degrees would remove almost all the people most likely able to aid in programming in scientific environments.

    I've done my share of research and it could be described as computational physics for the most part. I've seen many people who could say the same about their degrees (BS in a science with a lot of programming experience). Some are great, so are so-so. The only way to hire competent people is find those with the skills you need, then talk to them in person. Someone will fit your picture. Period.
