What year did you graduate, out of curiosity?
What year did you graduate, out of curiosity?
In the group project classes I took, the instructors were only concerned with the final results. The process, tools, etc were left to the individual groups to decide.
SDLC is one of those things that every company seems to do a bit differently. Even if you are the GOD of SCRUM THEORY AND PRACTICE, most likely you'll wind up on a team that is kinda vaguely following scrum. Or more likely they've got a fish-ladder process with lots of little waterfalls that they call agile. Good luck effecting change, especially if you're straight outa school.
At best Agile methods provide an epistemology for project planning and estimation. At worst, it's a bunch of behaviors to mimic and terms to incant to justify bad or lacking processes.
I guess that going for a CS degree just helped me in the sense that it actually made me say "hey, this is gonna be you're career, so you better get serious and get into it", which in turn made me start learning a whole lot of more on my own. So, in a sense, I feel that a coding bootcamp can do the same, for a whole lot less money, and in a whole lot less time.
