“..anyone who is not a
programmer is part of the
        program.”
                  “…would we teach our students
                     to read and not write?”

  “Computational methods and
      models give us the
courage to solve problems and
     design systems that
no one of us would be capable
     of tackling alone.”

                    “Computer Science is driving
                     innovation from the sciences
                            to the arts.”
“Computing is not
the goal but a means
     to an end.”
