Destroy Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Since i'm majoring in computer science what kinds of coding do i have to know? i have done HTML,CSS, and Javascript before and i'm not sure if those are useful or not. And i doubt in college there will be beginner classes that prepare you for your major. So im planning to go on codecademy to practice. Is there lua on there as well and im currently learning python and taking notes about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duphin Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 In my experience you already ahead of the curve. From what I have seen most introductory classes are some sort of c++, matlab (literal cancer), and python. I wouldn't worry about it too much right now once you have learned a language it's easy to pick up the next. I had to take an intro course of half matlab and c++ with no previous coding experience. If you want to learn another language now I would suggest c++, LUA, or python. My biggest suggestion is getting a computer science degree through engineering if you can because it will give you more opportunities in life. If you take this road you will have to take discrete math and you will hate it so you have that to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroy Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 C++ is huge with Computer Science, I highly recommend taking some C++ coding classes ASAP. are there classes like that in college? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryze Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Learn Java and Javascript/Python first. I wouldn't recommend C++ right away since you'd have to learn pointers (although not the hardest to learn, but tougher for beginners). Learn the bare basics first. Focus on regular data types/primitives and algorithms/modularization before managing your memory with pointers. Learning Java first opens up learning any other languages like C#, C++, etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinyock Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 you'll most likely to be working/learning assembly(grandfather of the high level programming), go for java first to avoid, for the time being, learning to create your own class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duphin Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 are there classes like that in college? Our first 3 coding classes are c++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
