This video was recorded at virtual Lambda Days conference, which took place on 16-19th February 2021 - https://www.lambdadays.org/lambdadays2021 Industry versus academia? Learning and teaching programming by Francesco Cesarini & Simon Thompson ABSTRACT In our talk we’ll explore this hypothesis: in industry, you are learning a technology you will use to develop software, whereas in an academic setting, you are there to learn how to learn. Based on our experience of travelling in opposite directions: Francesco from industry to academia, and Simon from a theoretical to a more pragmatic approach, we’ll test the hypothesis, and, through evidence and anecdotes, show that in fact it is more complicated and diverse than we had first imagined. • Follow us on social: Website: https://www.lambdadays.org​ Twitter: https://twitter.com/LambdaDays​ • Looking for a unique learning experience?
