Its very mathematically intensive and not for the faint hearted. Its about abstract things like Finite State Automata, Lambda transitions and language grammars. If you told a Chemisty graduate that you supply the computer to the program, he probably wouldn't understand it fully... These large IT companies who accept graudates from virtually any disapline and send them on C++ training courses are harming the IT industry - I believe we're paying the price for that now... Paul. BTW. Why was this crossposted to an Ada group? Looking for a half decent language ;-) (Emphasis on "half")
