The following - attributed to Alan Perlis - came into my hands the other day. I thought I'd pass it on. "It is against the grain of modern education to teach children to program. What fun is there in making plans, acquiring discipline in organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail, and learning to be self-critical?" Is this an indictment? Is this the role of education? I thought it was to teach folks how to make money. Silly me. Steve (really "D. E.")
