Thank you. Yeah, I've been wanting to work on my own programming projects other than what my teacher assigns us. I personally find his projects not very appealing and is making most of the class fall asleep other than the stereotypical nerd archetypes. I believe that a good teacher is...

That's really interesting. You were re-learning concepts that were taught to you from many years ago. It's also interesting you were using very old material while learning the new things. It just goes to show that new knowledge is built on previous knowledge. Now that you mention it, I'll...

Very well. I'll definitely do that. Anyways, I've decided to drop my programming course for next semester and just learn it on my own time. I know this is not that other forum CollegeConfidential but... Now the current dilemma I have would be: I'll be applying to some of the top 25 American...

Oh, thank you for very much. I already have all of the graduation requirements for myself to graduate other than taking my senior English 12 course. As Jaeusm stated, it's totally acceptable to enter a computer science course without much prior knowledge to computers. Dropping off my Computer...

It's too late to complain it to the administrators, unfortunately... The course is already 3/5 done. Also, you have a good point. That's something for me to consider. However, I'm good friends with the teacher. I could always ask him for guidance when I need it if I were to self-study...

I'm considering about majoring in computer science in college. If that doesn't work out, I'm still interested in majoring in technical courses such as physics, electrical/mechanical engineering, or economics. I could also substitute the computer programming class for an accounting course...

The thing is I did check the course description. It stated that the class was offering Python and Java. However, he apparently changed the course for Programming 11 to Visual Basic because my teacher believed that Python and Java are for more experienced programmers. 2/3 of his class who were...

I'm sorry but could you please reiterate? Are you suggesting to take Computer Programming 12, so I can learn how to self study? If so, I have experience self-learning an entire physics course (courses designed for 11th&12th grade) online for free in which I achieved a 90% average. I believe I'm...

Hey, guys. I'm in the 11th grade. The current class that I'm taking right now is called "Computer Programming 11" which is an intro to programming. The entire course is spent learning how to use Microsoft Visual Basic which kinda disappointed me because I originally signed up to learn Python...

Hey, this program is really cool! I've been toying around with it for the hours now, and it's very fun. :D Oh, it's okay. I've decided to learn Java first since it's the most commonly used programming language. Thank you though! It supports my reasoning to learn Java first. I'll be learning...

I've been surfing around the Internet for a bit, and it seems that Java, the C Languages, and Python are often the most recommended for beginners. Also, you're right about the language not really mattering! A lot of people are saying that as I search through. Anyways, I think I'll start off...

Well, that's a very great answer... What are the top three programming languages would you recommend? Awesome! I'll be looking into those resources. By the way, would purchasing an AP Computer Science book be a good introduction to the field?

I'm interested in self-learning computer science; however, I primarily only want to know the information that produces 80% of the results and mostly ignore the rest of the fluff. There's no real deadline for me. There's things that are important, yet there are also things that are cool to know...

Bump! May someone please help me? I'm still confused.

Whew! You gave me a lot of information! Things I Got From You: 1) Don't worry about being a jack of all trades, people work in a completely different field, broad base is good 2) Computer Engineering = Digital Hardware Engineering, anything beyond is EE&CS 3) Robotics are taught in multiple...
