    <p>I think it depends on what type of Computer Science program you are in there are the ones that aim toward the Research and Science side and there are ones that gear toward the Implementation side. I specially declined against certain schools that only had professors that stayed in the academic world. If you don't have professors that havent been "using" what they teach, its all in their head, literally.</p> <p>Plug: Having taking BS in Comp Sci and MS in Soft Eng at DePaul University, I was mostly taught by instructors/professors who taught part time, which was fine by me because I would rather have them come in with a anecdote from the previous day and relate it to class. Also this being a mostly commuter/part-time school, most of the students have jobs in using what they are learning. </p> <p>The process of learning still starts with the all the theory, but then we usually get asked "how many of you actually use this in your job?" and the typical answer is "we use it but in a stripped down or simplier way" and then we go into the practical real world scenarios.</p> <p>During my schooling unit testing was always present. Even though they start you out on Java, they made us use ANT and JUnit for all project. Which was a good starting on build configuration and unit testing.</p> <p>And Extreme Programing was included in about 3 or 4 of the classes i took. I remember they all started out with the 12 different aspects, from pair programing to unit testing(see above). And now it seems like the focus is on Agile.</p> <p>So the quick answer is yes there are schools out there that have a more pragmatic approach then others.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
