let me start by appologizing for stumbling across your forums and necroing a year old thread... but this is what you get for having the first search result in google!
anyway, im in a programming languages course at college and my instructor DOES NOT HAVE A DEGREE IN PROGRAMMING!!! what is wrong with the world today?
our next project is due in 1 week, we just got it extended from being due in 2 days because he has yet to mention building a compiler yet in class and that is what is our next project is!
im angry because i now have to explain passing by value vs passing by refference TO MY INSTRUCTOR OF A HIGH LEVEL PROGRAMMING COURSE!
Check the project DelphiBasic - it is a simple implementation of Basic core language written on Delphi. You can modify semantics file to realize syntaxis of any other language you want.
I strongly condemn jwenting's post. Please don't just label as 'Indians' in general. For your kind information, it is Ramanujan's Mathematics, which stands as the base for Modern Computer Electronic Systems. I have great respect for Ramanujan, Ritchie, Gosling and for all those who contribute for the development of this e-world. Please think before you post.
@jwenting: I accept that the Education / Teaching standards or not as good when compared to western countries. But even then we learn and achieve. Think what if, if we get an education and guidance equivalent to the one in US and Canada.

Lolwut?
Ramanujan has practically nothing to do with computing. Maybe he devised a few quicker algorithms for computing pi.

I don't see a problem. jwenting clearly specified the context of posts on Daniweb from programmers who clearly don't want to put forth any real effort. He also made the observation that "more and more" of these posts are coming from members in India (according to their names and/or location). In my experience, that observation is accurate.
There was no generalization or racism, just a simple observation in a very specific context. I'm sorry you were offended, but the post you "condemn" is within the bounds of Daniweb's rules, which already makes provisions against racist remarks.

So you're using Ramanujan's contributions to mathematics (note that he died in 1920) as an excuse for the current Indian CS educational system and apparent laziness of a statistically significant majority of students from that educational system who choose to post on Daniweb?
I accept that there are majority of such posts in Daniweb, of course that's the cause of our edu. standards, I accept that too. But I would like put the point that amidst this, there are people who really performs very well. I regret if I have hurt anybody.

Indeed, nobody claimed otherwise. As a prime example, our super moderator ~s.o.s~ is both a skilled programmer and from India.
Please don't take offense at this next statement as it's once again an innocent observation, but a common behavioral pattern of racists is seeing racism against themselves where none exists. You've shown such a pattern with this imagined offense against Indians, so rather than claiming racism in others, I'd suggest tolerance on your part first. Especially since it's so easy to misunderstand others on the web.
