Amen and Amen. We already have too many "coders", unschooled in the art (yes art) of programming. I did not get my degree until I was 40 years old and already working in the IT industry. After my college education my "Art" of programming became much more disciplined which I think reduces the amount of errors in programs. I also learned what the box for programmers was and how to get outside the box. Well educated "Programmers" are desperately need in our industry, not just another bunch of "coder".
