Any chance you can link it? For some reason i cannot seem to find it.



ok sorry, I mean't the career analysis.


Whoops. In that case, I think they are referring to http://danluu.com/learning-to-program/


Interesting read.

"I managed to get a B.S. degree without ever using or seeing anyone use version control."

This agrees with my own experience. Do tech courses teach VCS's these days?

I would kinda hope not. They're one of those things you'll quickly get lots of experience with on-the-job, and there are so many useful things you can learn at university that no employer will let you learn on the job.


I took two semester-long group project courses that required version control, but they were optional upper-level classes. At my school I think you could feasibly get through the degree without being forced to use version control, although it would be difficult to not ever hear about it.


Thank you very much
