I''ll be a college freshman this fall, attending Florida Institute of
Tech studying electrical engineering.
I was considering taking some classes in programming and computer
science, and I happened to notice that everything taught is using C++.
After further research, it seems to me that C++ seems to be the
dominating language in universities.
By comparison, our local community college teaches a few classes in VB,
Java, Javascript, C++, and for some reason, PASCAL.
I''m certianly not against any of this, but out of curiousity does
anyone know of a school that teaches Python?

"I have the students learn Python in our undergraduate and graduate
Semantic Web courses. Why? Because basically there''s nothing else with
the flexibility and as many web libraries," said Prof. James A.
Hendler.

There are many. Wartburg College

I''ll gratuitously add that, even though I''m personally fond of
C++, I think teaching it as is done in colleges and high schools
(!) amounts to child abuse. It''s wildly inappropriate.

C++ programming requires you to
massively invest your thinking
first into the setup of your
build environment (can only be
beaten by Java here).
This is where the real abuse
starts. Plain C++-baby-style
(with some structs and cin/cout)
is just fun, despite the required
''variable prototyping'' (which is
not that bad for a beginner).
