The author is talking about engineering not cs classes. That being said, I would completely agree with you, having been through a cs degree myself. Version control and working in a group with it would have been very beneficial in school. Although, when I was in school that would have meant svn not git which I have grown to love, but felt the pain of having to learn the hard way.

Who the heck went through a CS degree without using version control? We used it from day 1 until graduation and you didn't get credit if you didn't use version control, even on your projects you did yourself. How does one do group projects in school without version control?

Git didn't exist when I was in school either.

If by 'version control' you mean 'delete and resubmit zip files into Moodle' then sure... my courses use version control...

>How does one do group projects in school without version control?

Dropbox. If you're lucky. Otherwise, attaching files through gmail.

FWIW I wish Git were part of my curriculum. I also wish the Java curriculum included Android. You gotta take what they give I guess.

I'm old. Dropbox did NOT exist when I was in school. Neither did Gmail...

No I meant real version control. When I started CVS was standard.

If it helps, the last time I was in a CS class before this current iteration (more or less to improve my career options) we were playing around with DOSSHELL and Turtle Graphics.

That is great! I wish that was more common.
