CMU Eliminates Object Oriented Programming For Freshman
fatherjoecode writes “According to this blog post from professor Robert Harper, the Carnegie Mellon University Computer Science department is removing the required study of O-O from the Freshman curriculum: ‘Object-oriented programming is eliminated entirely from the introductory curriculum, because it is both anti-modular and anti-parallel by its very nature, and hence unsuitable for a modern CS curriculum.’ It goes on to say that ‘a proposed new course on object-oriented design methodology will be offered at the sophomore level for those students who wish to study this topic.’”
