question for all you computer majors
Zotron:
hi I'm going to college and I'm going to double major in computer sciences and music theory (and maybe go back and take some classes in linguistics) and I want to know are there like preliminary classes? what languages, if any, do you have to know? More advanced stuff like unix or will languages like Python and JavaScript work?
thank you
Placid:
I don't know about other schools, but at mine you can come in with no knowledge whatsoever (if that's what you're asking in regards to "preliminary classes"). Languages of intro classes are:
1. Python/SQL/Lisp
2. Java
3. C
and then everything else is electives for you to choose from.

Make sure you have a firm grasp on Malbolge

they love it when you can program well in brainforget
carolcat:
they'll have introductory classes, but it varies from college to college for what language they teach you first. mine started me off in python, my boyfriend started in matlab, and another friend got started in c++.
honestly, there's two types of people in the class: people who eat sleep breathe programming and then people who barely even know how to work a computer.
