I have looked at it this way:

Electronics is a basic. Once you learn the basic formulas etc you are set. There will be improvements but everything will always come back to the basics you have learned in the beginning.

Computer programming and computers languages are always changing. There really is no basic here. I program in C++ Builder (Win32s) myself. It's always a pain to do catch up on what is new like when Java came out, etc. Or worse if MS windows isn't standard anymore and the most commonly used. It took major time to learn and impliment window's functions.

I hope this helps.
