Fewer, But Better, Computer Science Students

Fewer, But Better, Computer Science
Students
11/14/2003 08:38 PM

To hear people complaining these days you'd think that there were no more computer science students taking classes any more, and the three or four who were would never find jobs. It seems that's not true. Enrollment in computer science is definitely down, but people say the quality is much higher, as these are students who actually are interested in the topic, as opposed to those boom-year students who just studied it because they thought it would let them ride the wave to dot com riches. The schools also note that it's more difficult to find jobs, but they are placing the majority of their students in tech jobs.

Nationwide, the number of newly declared computer science majors has decreased 39 percent from fall 2000 to fall 2004, from 16,000 to about 10,000 declared majors, according to the Computing Research Association ...
The same Association finds first-year college student interest declining as well.

New Python Computer Science text book


New Python Computer Science text book 12/12/2003 08:57 PM

Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science is a new Computer Science text book designed for use in introduction to programming classes, written by John Zelle, who's Teaching with Python page . Kirby Urner recently posted a mostly positive review of the book to the Python Edu-SIG mailing list, which sparked an interesting discussion about Python's place in the CS curriculum.

Unsurprisingly, the one thing that isn't disputed on the Python Edu-SIG list is that Python is a superb first language for CS students. As I've mentioned before, I'm convinced that the reason so many of my fellow students seem to actively dislike programming is that they're introduction to it was via Java, a language that enforces a mentality of battling the compiler more than one of straight problem solving. Hopefully now that text books are beginning to appear Python will be considered more seriously by computer science departments around the world.
