----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sun Jul 13, 2003 10:32 pm Do u actually wanna do Computer programming... ----------------------------------- seeing all these stuff that are posted here makes me wonder..... ----------------------------------- Asok Sun Jul 13, 2003 11:08 pm ----------------------------------- I'd like to go into game design. but that probably wont happen. ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Mon Jul 14, 2003 12:17 am ----------------------------------- I'm starting in the "computer engineering technology - computer science" program at algonquin on august 25 :D edit: my 300th post :lol: ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Jul 14, 2003 12:19 am ----------------------------------- I donno whats gonna happen... I'm gonna take compsci in university for sure, just dont know if its going to be my major or not. It a very nice hobby to have... I'm gonna roll the dice (or seed my life with some other number) and we'll see whats gonna happen after I graduate and with what degree... ----------------------------------- rizzix Mon Jul 14, 2003 12:02 pm ----------------------------------- pfff i'll get some decent job ...lol ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Mon Jul 14, 2003 12:57 pm ----------------------------------- I say do what you enjoy doing and if it's compsci then do compsci, if you don't really enjoy compsci don't do it... ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Mon Jul 14, 2003 1:46 pm ----------------------------------- i might study compsci in University, just not as my major. I'll probably major in bio-something, but now the hot stuff for bio is genetics, and it certainly helps alot if you can program, or at least understand the basics of programming ----------------------------------- rizzix Mon Jul 14, 2003 4:43 pm ----------------------------------- yea same here probably. i was thinking of nanoengineering.. o well. ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Mon Jul 14, 2003 8:25 pm ----------------------------------- since most of you are interested and u are all pretty good at programmin(in Turing) why not move on to real programming like c++ or java? ----------------------------------- Asok Mon Jul 14, 2003 9:01 pm ----------------------------------- cuz turing is nice and easy :) C++ = linker errors *cri* seriously though, linker errors piss me off ;) ----------------------------------- rizzix Mon Jul 14, 2003 9:53 pm ----------------------------------- try java heh :twisted: :lol: damned with those link errors :twisted: no link errors in java ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Jul 14, 2003 10:58 pm ----------------------------------- I'm looking farward to java, looks awesome. and most of us (the active bunch) does know atleast some of higer level languages. ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Tue Jul 15, 2003 12:23 am ----------------------------------- what are those linker errors caused by anyways? ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Jul 15, 2003 12:49 am ----------------------------------- problem linking files... all those #includes make up for a bunch of compiled files that gotta be linked together... I'd assume its compiler's fault, not yours. ----------------------------------- Asok Tue Jul 15, 2003 2:11 am ----------------------------------- sometimes it can just be easily fixed just by doing a Rebuild All, in which case the compiler was being a jackass. However sometimes it's also because your missing an external library (.lib). Still, if Rebuild All fails, it's time to start pulling hair because you'll be going through manuals galore to figure out what you're missing. ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Jul 15, 2003 3:37 am ----------------------------------- oh yeah, and turing is soo much getter cuz it includes that read-only file which includes ALL of external libraries that you ever need in any of the programs you could possibly write in turing. Note : I made up the single read-only file part, but it does include all of the headers, so "hello world" program and catalyst's 3D game would have identical #include C++ equivalents #include all-you-can-find-on-my-hdd ----------------------------------- SilverSprite Tue Jul 15, 2003 7:19 am ----------------------------------- i might study compsci in University, just not as my major. I'll probably major in bio-something, but now the hot stuff for bio is genetics, and it certainly helps alot if you can program, or at least understand the basics of programming bioinformatics is 75% computer programming and 25% biochemistry.. however subtle, the point is that everything is becoming very much computer related.. and as computer speeds will come at a peak in like 10 years computer programs need to be more and more efficient to calculate stuff like weather patterns, blood flow in the human brain.. etc.. no matter what you do a knowledge in computer science would help some
