(languages) Message-ID: <1991Jul22.103607.2485@cho006.cho.ge.com> List-Id: I am a graduate student in Software Engineering interested in determining what the most popular computer languages used in UNDERGRADUATE computing sciences programs are, and why. I am curious to know the objectives and approaches of various CS departments in the contexts of languages and operating systems. Fro m your responses I will compile a summary and post it back to the USENET. There are only three questions which you can answer in as much detail as you feel is necessary. (1) What are your department's 3 most emphasized languages (and why)? (2) What are your department's 2 most emphasized operating systems (and why)? (3) How important do think your choice of languages and/or operating systems is to your overall CS program(s)? (i.e. as opposed to the other aspects of CS, in particular theory.) If you have any other information you might like to add, please do so. Your input is greatly appreciated. Direct e-mail responses please to little_c@cho006.cho.ge.com (Summer job) OR cml8@jaguar.uofs.edu or cml8@scranton.bitnet (University of Scranton, PA) Thank you. -- Chris Little GE Fanuc Automation, Charlottesville, Virginia (804) 978-627 4 little_c@cho006.cho.ge.com cml8@scranton.bitnet cml8@jaguar.uofs.ed u
