jammag writes "Bjarne Stroustrup, creator of C++ and a professor at Texas A&M, weighs in on the problems in today's CS programs. In particular, Java (there's too much of it), the quality of graduates (companies aren't happy) and the need to balance the theoretical and the practical (long overdue). Not pulling punches, he even talks about high schools — "High schools could teach students to work hard at something (just about anything)." He finishes by giving advice to working developers: "Serious programming is a team sport, brush up on your social skills. The sloppy fat geek computer genius semi-buried in a pile of pizza boxes and cola cans is a mythical creature, best buried deep, never to be seen again.""
