		<description>Mr. King left out a few:

Learning how to program recursively

Learning data structures other than arrays

Learning how to do analysis of algorithms

Learning how to design and construct large scale software rather than hacking out a few lines of code at a time

Understanding the limitations of computation

Understanding the ethical implications of computing


and of course the most important thing that Mr. King&#039;s teacher forgot to teach:

Understanding that what business expects and what computing professionals expect are not always the same</description>
