Seneca College teams with FOSS projects in hands on learning

  • manbearpigm16, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1I'm going to Mcmaster in the fall, it used to suck ass, but they changed the curriculum and as a result they jumped from like 80th to 9th in the ACM regionals. I believe they teach C in the first year, but I'm not 100% sure. I know it moves into C++ later on.
