Computing should be taught as a rigorous - but fun - discipline covering topics like programming, database structures, and algorithms. That doesn't have to be boring.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any subject can be made interesting, and therefore any subject can be made boring.
It's sort of nice in more general terms to see that computational science, computational biology is being recognized. It's become a very large field, and it's always in some ways been the poor sister, or the ugly sister, to experimental biology.
There should be no such thing as boring mathematics.
My father taught me Basic and rudimentary C, I learned everything else on my own, including studying computational complexity on my own. That's more a function of my age than anything else though - back when I was in school there were hardly any programming classes.
I like to think of it as this new field. Instead of computer science, it's going to be virtual science.
I think computer science, by and large, is still stuck in the Modern age.
It should be mandatory that you understand computer science.
Computer Science is embarrassed by the computer.
Programming is not a zero-sum game. Teaching something to a fellow programmer doesn't take it away from you. I'm happy to share what I can, because I'm in it for the love of programming.
Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living.
