What should be IT education?

    In the latest issue of Computerra (No. 20 (688)) dated 05/29/07
    Article “Five invariants of IT education”
    Author Ilya Shutov
    The thesis of the article is as follows:
    “For good students to turn out good developers, they cannot be taught programming”

    The article provides 5 options for improving the situation:
    1. The art of collaboration
    2. Acquaintance with programming patterns (to know that bikes are invented and waiting for riders)
    3. Acquaintance with the real cost of code and the use of backup systems
    4. Work with requirements. Collection, fixing, change, management.
    5. The basics of project management and risk management.

    Unfortunately, while the article is only in print form,
    the Computerra magazine website does not have a number and articles in electronic form, but will appear soon.
    Eh, university men would have read it.
    Do you think it is necessary to change IT education? and what needs to be added to training programs for IT professionals?
