Skills vs. Theory: Which Should Be Taught?

Skills vs. Theory: Which Should Be Taught? - TechOpinionation: "I was reminded of this topic by a post on CodeJustin that had a poll about whether or not you went to college for programming. For me the answer is yes and no. I went to college to learn many skills and much theory about computer systems, but 95%+ of what I use in my day-to-day job I've taught myself. However, that learned theory has formed a solid foundation for my learned skills."
