If he is really asked to use patterns, he needs to look up the books.

Since I worked as a programmer, I have been feeling some prejudice towards the people who do not graduate from some prestigeous school or has no degrees in computer science. Unfortunately, not all that glitters is gold. For instance, I have witnessed two M.S. degree holders in computer science who has no idea about mutil-processing, multi-threading..I asked them how. One of them told me he sold his "Operating System" textbook right after he passed the examination. For such people, no matter how many courses they have ever taken, we cannot expect he is more competent than people from the training center. Even if they have stayed in Harvard or MIT for a couple of years, ....更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
