    Mostly bullshit because the ultimate goal of college isn’t to make you term basic facts which you need to graduate, instead the ultimate goal is to teach you how and where to learn about new developments in your field or where to look up Information which you don’t know or don’t remember.

          I mean if your answer is always books, then it would make sense that one might not be aware of change. It takes a long time to create a book and things are changing at a much more rapid pace, so your learnt “skill” is no longer relevant in todays job market even though it may be new to you

            Every technology or framework is documented somewhere, whether it’s in a book or in its documentation. Once you have the basics, you can update your own knowledge with more books or docs.

            I don’t know of any piece of technology that is changing so fast that it’s not documented anywhere. At most you have ReactJS which is a weird usage of JavaScript, but you still can find the docs and learn. Or maybe Unity VS Godot but we’re talking about long term education, not framework fights.

                I never said that it lacked documentation. I said there is a more universal underlying theory that you can learn and which hasn’t changed in years.

      Yeah, when I was in school, concerning hi-tech&tech we learned stuff that were already obsolete.
