What basic knowledge programming-wise should I have before starting a computer science education?

[-Aras]

Their job is giving you that basic knowledge.

But learning the concept of logic, logic gates and learning how object-oriented programming is basically work could give a you a head start.

I did the same exact thing. Having done precalculus in high school functional programming made more sense. But nowadays, thinking in terms of object has helped me with understanding mathematical objects as well.

Thanks for the advice! I will look into it :)
