- I could not agree more on your first post. I simply minored in CS since I'd been programming since I was < 14, and after taking some advanced programming classes, I was SHOCKED at the elementary levels. I feel so sorry for fresh-out-of-college engineers.Cyprus106– Cyprus1062009-02-25 20:22:48 +00:00Commented Feb 25, 2009 at 20:22

- " A CS degree is often good for more than just a programming career. " I dunno if I agree with that, I suppose it could be worse, you could have an MBA.Jim B– Jim B2011-01-30 18:30:34 +00:00Commented Jan 30, 2011 at 18:30

print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs

- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
