Huh.
Looks like UNO is abandoning C++ (and Perl and Python?) and moving to Java and C?
Bob? Perl?

Subject: FYI (C++ to Java Change in CIST 1400 & CSCI 1620)
The following message is being
send to all IS&T undergraduate students. If you have completed
CIST 1400 Intro to Computer Programming and CSCI 1620 Computer Science
II then you can ignore this message.
The Computer Science undergraduate
degree program at the University of Nebraska at Omaha is implementing the
following changes to its courses starting Fall 2008:
1. To
be consistent with the high school AP programming requirements in the region
and country, Java is going to be used as the programming language of instruction
in the "CIST 1400 Introduction to Computer Programming" course, including
its laboratory section CIST 1404, and the "CSCI 1620 Introduction to Computer
Science II" course.
2. The
"CSCI 1840 Advanced Topics in C" course will be changed to "CSCI 1840
Programming in C." For computer science majors, CSCI 1840 will be
a core requirement to complete the undergraduate degree. This class can
also be used by other programs needing the C language as a foundation for
subsequent coursework.
3. For
those departments/colleges that still need C++ as a requirement for subsequent
coursework, the computer science program will continue to offer the "CSCI
2840 C++ and Object Oriented Programming" course.
A transition schedule related to
the change in the programming language of instruction in CIST 1400/1404
and CSCI 1620 is given below:
| Semester

CS 1 (CIST 1400/1404)
