Whoa, that's a shocker!  Really, what do you expect from a Computer Science
education but a computer scientist?  Computer Science is an academic discipline,
and, like most academic disciplines, doesn't attempt to develop skills that are

courses and trade schools (ITT Technical Institue, anyone? :-)
