[quote=Anonymous]I sometimes wonder if the folks claiming CS is dead are confused or are trying to scare away potential competition. Folks who go into CS and take rigorous courses (examples: compilers, assembly, embedded / real-time systems, kernel programming, advanced networking, VHDL or Verilog, applied cryptography) are perpetually in shortage. I am ALWAYS looking for people who know C programming, POSIX APIs, ARM assembly, command-line debuggers (such as gdb or kgdb), and embedded systems. So are Apple, Canonical, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, and others major tech firms. There is, however, a surplus of applicants who skipped the rigorous upper level CS electives and instead concentrated on web programming, scripting, and such like. Rigor matters in college -- just as it did before college. [/quote]
