Joshrk, if someone didn’t have programming experience coming into college, would it be a good idea for them to do CS? How many people have very strong programming experience going into CS? And how strong? I guess I just can’t imagine people are coming in with expertise beyond classes like 101 and 280. Does that expertise make them much better at higher level classes?
