[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't "have" to have prior programming experience, but it sure makes life easier. I remember one of my CS classes in engineering school included making your own language and had a semester long final project of building a compiler, and a couple of the people with extensive prior experience finished their projects the first weekend. I eventually finished my compiler after lots of work (100's of hours of research and coding), but my final project was never as good as the kids who already knew programming. Also, most classes in engineering were on a curve with a goal of weeding out about half the students (so there was a C- middle grade). [/quote] So. Did this affect your ability to get a job?[/quote]
