Dave Thomas argues that the ideal way to learn programming is through an apprenticeship model rather than an academic setting. He suggests a structured program where students learn the basics for six months, followed by a year of real-world interning.

This hands-on experience allows students to encounter and solve real problems, making subsequent theoretical lessons more meaningful.
