Take a look at my shitty education

This was my fucking 5th and last assignment for my "programming languages" shitty ass course at NJIT. Can you tell I'm pissed?

Oh, and basically all the code you see there was cut and pasted from the example that he gave us. No thinking involved. Pathetic.

If you're wondering what this is meant to teach us (I still am), it was supposedly part of our lesson on inheritance. Argh!

This sort of thing seems to be a constant from one university to the next. I'm just now graduating from a school that has a history of being sought-after heavily by employers for CS majors (well, before the economy dove), and I've had more classes that turned out to be like this than actually being worthwhile. I think the field has been around long enough to demand a consistently valuable curriculum like in physics/math/engineering departments. I don't understand why the CS departments are still doing this crap.

What bugs me is that the button is a persistent element of the extended Frame object.

So why not build it as a member of the FrameDemo class? Its not like they're not tightly coupled by physical proximity and function.

Yep, after looking at it, I agree. But keep in mind that looking at it now for the 10 seconds it took to see what you were talking about was more analysis than I did when cutting and pasting the thing to make it run Smiley Like I said, no thinking required.

So, would I have done it myself if I were programming it? Yes. Should my teacher have programmed it that way? Yes. Do I care? No Smiley

Aww... my dog's cute.
