Programming?

Just wondering, dose anyone here know any programming? I know VB and Java so far, once i'm done java i'm gona move onto C++.

Hardly anyone codes in C++ dude

Learn C#

The collage i'm gona be going to teachs C++ in 2nd year programming (which is what i'm gona be taking)

I wouldn't waste time learning specifics of C++

If you're prepping this for school, just learn the concepts like OOP, algorithm designs (ex diff types of sorting algorithms), data structures, etc. Any programming languages (with maybe the except of scheme which you might learn in school) work off the same concepts, just different syntax

The only thing special with C++ is you gotta do memory management yourself whereas java has garbage collection to do all that for u

ahh, well i've already learned Java and visual basic through highschool

American schools suck

This is a Canadian collage like 15 minutes from my house

is it a 4 year program?

2 1/2

how come ur not going to a university? i thought u said u had good grades

lol if gamer sees this thread...

Why do 5 years when i want to be a programmer, and it takes 2 1/2

I also don't have the muney for Univeristy, its 15 000 per year at Dal, its 2600 per year at NBCC

Sucks for Nightmare because good programming schools like U of Waterloo are just too expensive not being in Ontario. Although the Co-Op program helps significantly in getting money for school.

Rizzo did you take Comp Sci? ...that was my major, yet not really what I do for a career.

Areksoo, I'm appling at Dal for Comp Sci aswell, i'll just need a student loan

I minored in CS. major was C&O

I don't think my major has any actual jobs directly related to it, but it just impresses interviewers who're also from waterloo and go "whoa c&o? ur hardcore"

nightmare did u apply for waterloo? like areksoo said, co-op pays for ur tuition so you don't really need major bank to go there. The highest I ever got from co-op was $750 / week which paid for my tuition + rent and stuff

lol, nice Rizzo, i've already been accepted to NBCC Saint John, but i'm also appling for UNB Frederton and Dalhousie, and my friend wants to go to waterloo for engenieering

yeah my advice is really try to go for a 4-yr bachelors degree

honestly when you apply to jobs, there's hundreds of others applying to the same job as u. the 1st thing ppl filter out is the education cuz they just don't have the time to go through every applicant's job experience

College is for suckers, join the military

Combinatorics and Optimization. Most people don't even know what that means! You are a super nerd!

I did Comp Sci (UofW too!).... but my job role is in Statistical Data Modeling (Marketing). Ideally, I should go back to school and get at least a masters in stats or MBA, but too lazy.

The only programming I do now a days are queries in SAS.

SAS stands for secret agent shit. Lol!
