Luckily, I don't think this was the same situation. This was at a university and they had classes with other languages. The beginner classes were split into two variants, where some students (mostly CS students) learned C, and other students (economy, etc.) learned Python. I suppose they figured it was more useful to them or something. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SmartmanApps@programming.dev 1 point 2 years ago That’s silly Agreed. This was at a university As I said elsewhere, I had a much more sensible approach when I went to Uni - we learnt Pascal in first year, and then did OOP in second year, which follows the tradition of only teaching one concept at a time. permalink fedilink source parent
