BTW - I don't have a CompSci degree
I do.

I wouldn't put money on that...
Well, it was just silly things like having a more formal approach,
having a pocket full of algorithms instead of having to dig through
Knuth or the internet every time I wanted to do something a little bit
interesting...
Knuth? Who or what is Knuth?
checks Wiki
Oh. Never heard of him...

The author of a series of computer science books in 1968 onwards that are as
relevant today as they were then. Which is some achievement when you
consider how computers normally radiate obscelence!

Indeed. They weren't really relevant then, and they aren't now!

IMHO ;-)

Seriously, the books on software engineering were far more appropriate.
