Computer Science

[RochesterFC1013]

anyone here interested in computer science? i feel it is very interesting, i am currently taking a java class, great fun! but the program codewarrior which is great and reliable is hard to come by, anyone know how to get it?

I'm currently in my third (junior) year as a CS major. I too like it and find it interesting. If you want to know anything about a college CS program, feel free to ask.

I did Computer Science last year, just to fill in a spare class (Gr. 11 Comp Science)

Java was too easy, I got 98 in that class

The main language that our courses are taught in is C++. The introductory course is taught in Visual Basic, because it's relatively simple to learn the basics of programming. I've also taken a course in PHP, SQL and JavaScript.

thanks, great! i know a little about C++ from friends, but not much does seem quite easy. also to answer adnan2850 i would say java or javascript is hrdest to learn because you must be case-sensitive, and vry specific, but you should see what others also think, because i only know about 2 languages

C++ gets harder the farther you get into it, but it's very rewarding when you get it to do what you want.

As for language difficulty, I think C++ is the hardest by itself, but web programming is the hardest because it is really a combination of multiple languages, such as a page structure language (HTML), a page style language (CSS), a scripting language (JavaScript/VBScript), a server-side language(PHP/ASP), and a database language (SQL). Try getting five languages to work at the same time.

Rochester, if you want to learn some more about C++, check out these sites. They've helped me many a time.
