there is a course called BSc.IT which has has a subject - operating systems and shell programming in the second year .
Operating Systems is in the fourth Semester of second year and Systems Programming (which should have been Learning UNIX) is in the third semester. Shell programming and a huge list of UNIX commands are taught in Systems Programming.
90% of the kids going through that have no idea of how to do anything except directory traversal and add 2 numbers with a shell program .
I guess, if they know to use commands to traverse directories and add two numbers with a shell program, they can always improve their skills.
Fortunately I am not one of the 90% . That's my take in the IT curriculum . The weird part is these people end up topping the class by mugging up . . I am sure their Employers will be pretty pleased with them :P
Agreed.
