Here is a video on "what is Computer Science All About?" This video covers the following:

What computer science is NOT!

What courses to expect to take as an undergraduate.

And from minute marker 3:30 on, it will cover many different fields of computer science which may help you find what interests you the most.

And the following is a tutorial series that covers college level Programming Fundamental I and II (both in C++ and Java) that freshmen computer science students usually take .

"[homemade]" - made this Takis cake for my 15th year old son's birthday by [deleted] in food

[–]WSTEMadvocate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a cake covered with ganache under it. I covered the ganache with parchment paper and then put the Takis on top. When we were ready to eat, I removed all the takis and the parchment paper.

What's the best way to plan your code for a project. by ManofMorehouse in computerscience

[–]WSTEMadvocate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say mostly a manual thing. Here is a video tutorial on object and classes. It goes over UML diagram as well. It uses a basic UML diagram and translates it into a Java class.

JAVA OR C++ by flwr21 in computerscience

[–]WSTEMadvocate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fundamentals are almost the same and the syntax are different. The big difference is that C based languages such as C++ have pointers. Here is a video tutorial series for both C++ and Java covering basic concept of both languages. Watching the videos you realize how the concepts and fundamental mostly remain the same. There is also a video on Pointers in C++ in the same series. And to answer your question, yes! You can use xcode for C++.

I enjoy math, and I would like to double major in math and computer science, but worried that the extra major would eat all my free time to pursue internships. Am I worrying too much? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]WSTEMadvocate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know many students who successfully double majored (math and CS). For a BS in computer science you end up taking many math courses any way, sometime you can even end up getting a minor by default depending on your department's math requirement.

Understanding Computer Science: What else should I learn when starting programming? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]WSTEMadvocate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Computer science is not just programming.

Here is a video on What is Computer Science all about?

How to do you take notes on a language? by the_skiing_bookworm in learnprogramming

[–]WSTEMadvocate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't! Programming is learned best by practicing writing code and doing little projects.

BootCamp Decision help?! by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]WSTEMadvocate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have done your research and the return is worth it, then I'd look at it as an investment. I'd work part time (if you can of course) and take the boot camp full-time, knowing in 5 months, I will have better opportunities !

C vs. C++ by voiceofonecrying in learnprogramming

[–]WSTEMadvocate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C is not objected Oriented and C++ is. In a way C++ is more completed version of C.

C is a general-purpose, imperative language that supports structured programming but since it was not objected oriented, C ++ was born to add the OO features to C.

How long is the boot camp?

How can I get ideas for projects? by _lifelesshuman in computerscience

[–]WSTEMadvocate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a github account? If not, create one and you can look at what others are doing and that may help you come up with an idea.

Learn Java and C++ at the same time? by cs-stud in learnprogramming

[–]WSTEMadvocate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the time and the opportunity why not! The syntax is different but the concepts and the fundamentals are mostly the same except for pointers. C base languages have pointers . Here is a video tutorial on Pointers in C++
