Another aspect is that you learn fundamentals of engineering math, sciences etc.
There is no replacement for practice.
The real world definitely is different than academia, and I believe they both are important.

On March 6, 2001, a specification proposal was born within the JCP. It was called JSR 107: Java Temporary Caching API (JCache for short) and it seemed doomed to languish within the JCP longer than any other specification proposal for the language. But almost exactly 13 years later, in March of this year, the specification was completed thanks to the efforts of Greg Luck, and Oracle’s Brian Oliver and Cameron Purdy.
Took long enough.

It's a spec, including embedded examples, and implementations in portable C and JavaScript. We strived mightily to stay true to the spirit of Markdown in writing it. # This makes _me_ **happy**

I still use IE 9. In Vista.
I like the word "Must"
We don't "have" to do anything.
For those that want to get rid of it all together there is a command line option.

One of the deepest questions in computer science is called P vs NP, and answering the question would earn you a million dollar prize. In case you want to pick up a little spare change on the side

One of the claims made upon initially announcing C++ AMP was that it would be a portable, extensible standard. Parsing the open specification makes it clear that the design is true to that goal, but we were short of an actual proof. In one fell swoop, the good folks at AMD, working in tandem with MulticoreWare, have removed this final concern by introducing an open source implementation of C++ AMP. It thus becomes possible to use C++ AMP in Windows, Linux or in OS X, exploiting a plethora of hardware platforms. Since we have discussed this project in the past, you can get a better understanding of it by perusing our older blog post. OK, one of you '++' folk is going to have to 'splain this to me before I can make a joke

AMD are using C++ AMP to allow programmers to write "heterogenous" programs for their Kaveri CPUs. Seeing as no one has produced OpenCL 2.0 drivers yet, C++ AMP remains the only way to do this.

Microsoft's next major Windows release is rumored to have some connection to a 'Windows as a Service' concept. But WaaS may not be what many think. Can we kill this bad idea (WaaS) before it goes any further?

Goodbye Windows 8 and 8.1, Hello something probably worse and unnecessary in ways we cannot yet even fathom until Microsoft drops it on us like a ton of misplaced bricks in a couple weeks.

Java could add read-evaluation-print-loop tool as part of Project Kulla, but analysts wonder if it's a good fit. Because real coders write all their code interactively?
