Make the Future - A Career in Computer Science

@glgamecoder im about to go into iupui next fall.......... im in my senior year now and have no IDEA how to programm. maybe some simple formulas in excel but thats it you kno?! do u think i should study? and if so wer? like to get a head start.

at iupui your first class will be taught in java and will cover how to program along with the basic knowledge like binary representation, assembly code, and logic gates. They ease you in very slowly, you won't need to study ahead but it never hurts. I would suggest learning a high-level language like java or c# to get a head start. Find an online tutorial and teach yourself, a CS students best asset is knowing how to teach themselves. If you can, get Andy Harris for CS230 instructor, he's great.

wtf was that!!? i want my 2min of my life back

me too

what, this video is pretty sweet, i like it

but it shouldnt be in my comp sci notes lol

hey thanks a mill mate u really helped me get more confident about not needding 2 know tht much fm the start.,.,,,

Wht about this CE and CS thing??do u think cs is dying out??

Well, as long as people need new software people will need CS. At some point the hardware engineers will reach the physical limits of technology and people who understand efficient algorithms will be all the more necissary to continue to squeeze more performance out of PCs. So I don't think CS has any expiration date. A CS grad is more than just a programmer. A CS grad is an extremely efficient programmer who can problem solve using computers in any domain you set him in. Never useless.

Well described m8. I completely agree with u... U have been a grate help 4 me and helped me get rid of small confusions I had.

Thanks once again and will contact u again in the future if I'm uncertain about anything:)

At my school, UW Seattle, the CSE department offers three degrees:

CS
CE - Software
CE - Hardware

And they are all nearly identical. The main difference is that CS has a lot more electives. I'm pretty sure CS doesn't have -any- required course that isn't also required for CE, but CE has many required courses that aren't required for CS.

Personally, I'm CE just because I want to do patent law and the CE degree comes with more bragging rights (which is important for law firms)
