dc.description.abstract | There is a shortage of software developers with the right skills
and knowledge, not only in South Africa but worldwide. Despite reports of
a gap between industry needs and software education, the gap has
mostly been explored in developed countries and in quantitative studies.
This paper reports on a mixed methods study of the perceptions of
professional software developers regarding what topics they learned from
their formal education and the importance of these topics to their actual
work. The analysis suggests that there is a gap between software
development education and workplace practice and recommendations for
software development education are made | en_US |
