kramed8 writes "As a student myself, after reading the recent 'Slam' article on Java I really began to concerned with the path of my education. I am currently attending a small Canadian University as a 3rd year Computer Science and Business student set to graduate next year. What seems to have troubled me from reading the article and user comments is that I do not feel as confident as I want to be in C, ASM and other related low level programming topics. I was taught C++ in my introductory courses with subsequent classes using C# or Java. My education has not been particularly difficult or time consuming to get good grades so I have spent my free time dabbling in topics and languages that interest me (ie Multiple GUI Toolkits, Python, Linux). How can I spend my free time in the next year to prepare to enter the work place with a proper toolbox of skills? From what I have been told, there are more jobs for Java and Data Warehouse development teams compared to lower level programmers. As an undergrad, what skills should I be trying to attain now to further my employability in the future?"
