I am in this class that Paul is referring to and while i may not be one of the students he is directly referring to what he says still is very accurate for the way our students approach programming, it actually caused me to take a step back and work on my project without cut and paste methods, and I progressed today, a lot. Another thing that bothers me about our students, and this is probably true of most undergraduate programs similar to ours at canisius, is that people do not keep up with current technology and seemingly just don't care sometimes, whether it is new features in photoshop, how flash continues to improve on its handling of video or what and how ajax works, it seems like people just don't care. maybe i'm wrong and don't talk to enough people, but some many times have people said to me "wow, i didn't know it did that!" and i would like to respnd "yeah...well you should seeing as how you are dedicating your life to stuff like this." but i usually just say "yeah i know, it's cool".
