Ivy League Computer Science Curricula Exposed 312
Doug Treadwell writes "Many people have wondered what the difference is between the Computer Science education given in the average public university versus one given in an Ivy League university (or a top level public university). There have also been discussions here on Slashdot about whether any Computer Science curriculum gives students the knowledge they need for the working world. As a computer science student both questions are very important to me, so I decided to answer them for myself and build a website to share what I found. I was able to find the required reading for hundreds of courses at Stanford, Princeton, Carnegie Mellon, and Berkeley; along with some other institutions. This should also help answer some of those 'What should I read?' questions."

The best text book I had to read in college was, "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable." I don't remember what that one was about though...

Because our place in history makes computer technology looks much more varied and chaotic than it will inevitably look once it becomes as tried, tested and mundane as filing tax returns or delivering water or gas to peoples houses?

And any time a Slashdot article title uses the word "Exposed", run.
