Writing Code in School vs. Writing Code in Industry

School of Engineering and Applied Science

Princeton Alumni Adam Barr '88 discusses the gap between what programmers learn in school and what they need to succeed in industry

Sherrerd Hall

Adam Barr graduated from Princeton in 1988 with a BSE in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He spent 23+ years working at Microsoft, primarily in development and engineering management roles. For the last 4 years he has worked as a consultant at Crosslake Technologies, performing due diligence on software acquisitions. He is the author of 3 books: Proudly Serving My Corporate Masters (about working at Microsoft), Find the Bug (about code reading and debugging), and The Problem with Software (about the difference between what programmers learn in college vs. what they use in industry—the subject of this talk).This discussion is cosponsored by the Department of Computer Science and Keller Center.
