I kind of agree here aristus. Most college professors are kind of stuck in the past. Just look at all the really creative development stuff that's come out in the last coule of decades.... Linux.... 16 year old Finnish kid with nothing to do during those long cold finnish winters. MySql.... bunch of swedes with the same problem. PHP... a few hackers with credentials I'm not familiar with but I don't think they came from academia.... Ruby... Japanese kid obsessed with unix and C. Rails... Danish kid going to a business school in denmark and hacking on the side...... True, the code that runs the internet was written by a bunch of UC Berkley grad students but that was back in the days when you had to be tied to some kind of entity like that in order to have access to the hardware that was needed to run your code. Since the mid 90s this hardware has been very cheap and available to anyone with the passion to purchase and develop. Many have and they have left traditional venues for new and creative functionality in the dust.
