Computer science major

hmmm... im not a CS though, but my course is just the same as CS... well, basically programming is easy.... if you know the step-by-step process of ur software, your good to go... it just gets harder on memorizing the codes... but just be a good listener and you will learn.

Programming isn't too half bad it just requires patience and lots of it. I'm currently pursuing a Computer Sys. Embedded course. Its going to be rough at first but like everyone says practice makes perfection.

I have to honestly say no its too tedious and half the time it gets pretty frustrating but thats just my opinion.

Information Technology (IT)...
programming is easy dude...^^
just learn to enjoy it...:D

I'm a CS major and it really isnt that bad. Just make sure that you understand every step through the semester though. If you miss one part, your ability to program for the stuff in the future gets shot to hell. The theory stuff goes over my head though. Don't like that stuff one bit

The major im taking requires both the hardware and software experience its embedded systems im working on, but im more of a hardware type guy.

I'm a BS CompSci graduate, and I have to admit programming is not easy especially you have to grasp basic college logic before tackling this. But eventually it became natural and easy for me as the classes became more technical and intricate especially the software engineering classes.

The tip my professors gave us when we were in first year is that "to make learning easy, you must find joy in learning". I realized this when I completed a very long and tricky program involving C++ and matrix operations in a lab class before anybody else. Since then I enjoyed solving programming problems - the harder the better.

lol your asking a guy with a kira avatar, so it means i can interfere because of my avatar. anyway, you and i are the same haha..^^ i chose IT because it is popular amongst the grads..haha..^^ and i dont even know a single thing in computers.but i manage to be on top for three years in a row...^^

^^ I had a little background on programming in high school with Excel macros, but that was pretty minuscule considering that the program was a blank template anybody can open and edit and all the program did was simple math. CS was the only course that accepted me (others I tried were Architecture and Political Science) so I went in without a strong grasp of programming. I was scared too but gradually the freshman jitters disappeared.

^_^ Monster? Me? LOL. Anyway, enjoy CS, I'm sure you'll enjoy programming too.

I just graduated from High school and i've been doing programming for sometime now. It's quite fun in my opinion. I'm taking a gap year so i can gain some experience and take some courses. But i will be taking Information Technology in university.

C/C++ is not too hard as long as you know the bases. I started with the very basic PASCAL and ALICE.

PASCAL is a beginner programming language which teaches you the backbone of coding. It's similar to C/C++.
As for ALICE is more of the same but to do the Java script.

I recently got accepted into an Internship at Nokia for a duration of 6 months. It's going to be tedious and quite scary working with professionals,lol. The internship basically comprises of a group of us making prototype menus/phone modles. With some touch of internet features making them user friendly.

All in all, programming is enjoyable. The best way to learn it is to just pratice... a lot!

Information Technology is easy mode.


So CE?


C++ is pretty cool and doesn't afriad of all the memory management you need to do


lol

Yeah im following the computer embedded systems major. Requires both hardware and software and the dreaded "Assembly language" <---------- hates with a passion, i have been taking programming using java with eclipse but not c++ yet. Programming is not as bad as it sounds it just requires practice,practice, and more practice im sure your professors will say the same.

I am a CS major, and every timeI have to learn a new language (trust me, you will need to learn a few :) ) i just google "[language] tutorial" and I usually find a good guide that explains the basics of how to get started (setting up environment, compiler ect.) and how to do the basic operations. This has worked from my first language (C++) up until now :)

C++ is obviously a good language to help you better understand what you are doing and how to program in a sane manner (it is very easy to make mistakes in c++, so you need good coding style, or you will be debugging 90% of the time) But you should ask yourself what you want from your first language? I myself just wanted to understand object oriented programming for my first language (polymorphism and all the object oriented jargon) so C++ was actually a poor choice, rather if that is your goal I would suggest C# or Java, since they abstract away allot of details and let you concentrate on the object oriented part.

If you want to start trying linux, just use ubuntu/kubuntu, depending on what you think look nicest, they are both very easy to start out with when you are a windows user.

This is my first post, so I hope it made sense and was at least maginally helpfull :)
