We were taught algorithms and finite state machines, but I don't remember any design pattern coverage. I graduated in 1994 and other than that, they perfectly prepared me for my future as a developer. We covered many software design principles in my Software Engineering classes, but the memory is so vague that I can't recall if anything was categorized into patterns. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chappell, Simon P" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 2:33 PM Subject: RE: DAO or ... ?
I have no idea whether they teach patterns in University. I graduated in 1990 and we didn't even have the Internet back then let alone Patterns! Jacob: How about it my friend? Do they teach patterns in the UW?
