CMU Eliminates Object Oriented Programming For Freshman

[sl4shd0t]

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.'"http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F11%2F03%2F26%2F0016229%2FCMU-Eliminates-Object-Oriented-Programming-For-Freshman%3Ffrom%3Dfb) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=CMU+Eliminates+Object+Oriented+Program ming+For+Freshman%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FhsEJ3P)
