Salam
Saya selalu dilantik menjadi penyelia projek akhir semester kepada beberapa orang students degree tahun akhir di universiti ini. Macam-macam projek saya selia terutama multimedia courseware, information system dan lain-lain walaupun subjek specialization saya ialah maths statistik dan operations research.
2) Trend now is ex-polytechnic students (graduate universiti ini lah) lebih suka menggunakan PHP bagi menciptakan hasil projek PSM tu. PSP adalah subjek programming yang telah mereka perolehi di politeknik KPTM. Pelik jugalah. Bukankah mereka belajar programming languages macam-macam di peringkat degree ini seperti C++, Java , Object-oriented programming etc etc.
Isu terbesarlah ...mengapa PHP?
3) Hasil dari lawatan saya ke industri komputer di Kedah, Pulau Pinang baru-baru ni. terutama MIMOS Kulim, Kedah - kebanyakan firma tidak memandang tinggi graduates yang tahu PHP jer. Mereka lebih suka sistem yang dibina dari Java atau C++. Peluang kerja after degree lebih cerah kepada mereka yang tahu (mahir) menggunakan Java, Visual Basic dan lain-lain. So apa sudah jadi universiti malaysia?
Jika mereka memilih juga PHP ..ini bermakna bahawa dalam degree level .. banyak ilmu yang mereka dapat seperti C++ dan Java .. tidak mempunyai tarikan yang tersangat kuat kepada mereka untuk mencuba skill terbaru. PHP ialah ..bina sistem dari koding yang telah orang lain buat. Open Source. (koding ada dalam web-site, internet , merata-rata dunia, atas dunia maya) Kita hanya ubah sikit-sikit jer .. koding yang ada ...sesuai dengan objective PSM kita dan cherio .. terus siap. Settle?
Ini bermakan graduates yang sedemikian telah memilih jalan pantas untu menyiapkan PSM. Tetapi mereka telah rugi dalam peluang mencuba create sistem dari programming yang terbaru JAVA, Visual Basic dan lain-lain. Dalam erti kata lain, stail profesor dan pensyarah universiti mengajar tidak memberi sebarang kesan mendalam, efektif, impressive kepada pelajar-pelajar ini untu mencuba skill yang Prof sudah susah payah mengajar. Ilmu skil prof ..perolehi dari negara-negara barat semasa PHD mereka dulu lah.
Dalam erti kata lain, PnP kita tidak efektiflah. Rugikan? Siapa rugi tu? Ini bermakna PnP politeknik KPTM lebih berjaya dari PnP universiti ini. Apa kata saudara/saudari pembaca?
He..he.. pembaca-pembaca jawab lah. Saya sudi sangat mendengar.
Sekian. wasallam. Wallahu aklam.

Salam sejahtera, Prof. Dr. Sazali.
I am one of your student during my first year at UTHM year 2008. You were teaching us Discreet Mathematics if I'm not mistaken. You teaches us some other subjects too but I forgotten what subject, included PSM. Now I’m officially graduated attending convocation 2 days ago.
FYI, I came to UTHM with zero knowledge of programming because I came in after STPM for Bac.Degree. Although we've learned many programming languages taught by several lecturers in UTHM, such as C++(2008), OOP(2009), JAVA(end of 2010), C#(as I joined MDEC at year 2010), we don't really excel in all these programming languages because all these we just 'touch and go' each semester, and learn new programming language the next coming semester.
My final year project was done using PHP, where I don't learn it in university because lecturer didn't teach us PHP. So, can we consider that it is something fresh and new for me to explore and implement it in my PSM? Kita memang cuba something new because PHP is indeed something new for us.
Even PHP is too odd and old programming but I never learn it before. Use PHP in my PSM is because we have senior to guide us and refer to, and our PSM supervisor may help us too if we encounters problems because my PSM supervisor are more expert in PHP. You are right that we wasted the chance to explore latest programming skill like JAVA and Visual Basic but it is way safer because we don’t want to risk our project or failed it. Even I used PHP but it is quite a challenge for me too. We went through many sleepless nights to develop our PSM system.
Therefore I'm proud myself when I managed to build up a useful system even it is just PHP but the feeling is like I built it using JAVA, Visual Basic or whatsoever.
Sekian.
By the way I’m happy to found your blog and read it.;)
Baguslah anda membaca blog saya. Ia hanya satu luahan dari hati guru dan ayah. You are right. Why take risk? if u r good in php .. go for it ..yg penting .. u dah graduate// tetapi i got my point too.
Sepatutnya u critic fakulti / why students not so good at programming java, visual basic and c++. Why oh why? by criticising we can get better lecturers from the swasta side. He..he..
Salam sejahtera,
We do have several good programming lecturers in UTHM but not much. Good idea to import better lecturers from swasta side but anyway both lecturers and students shall enchance their programming skill.
