So they will maybe never be ready to work in real projects. A project is often
based on basic command line tool for compiling, building project but also to
backup, use version control, write scripts to automate things either through
makefile... Of course if the target is Windows and only windows they just need
to know Visual Basic... But we are not talking about software engineers, are
we :) ?
