Title: computer geek ppl ...
Post by: HappyZen on March 24, 2003, 06:47:11 pm
And i mean that in the most affectionate endearing loving way ... :D

I need HELP!!! Being the smart person that I am ... I've enrolled in a taking a JAVA programming course but am seriously considering dropping it! DAmn this stuff's hard!!!
Now .. is it really that hard??? Or is it only hard to begin with ... and
even if it is hard ... should I stick it out because it's REALLY helpful ... if it's helpful I don't mind how hard it is ... if it's NOT helpful ... and it's just hard for no reason .. then bugger it ... i'm dropping!!! I don't need a challenge ... I already have my life!!! LOL :D

Dunno what to do ... HELP! :-)

They'll always be a need for Java programmers in the world.
Is that what you wanna do instead of biotech?
I've never touched the stuff personally. Closest I've come is making something in MM Directer then having it exported to a Java file.
But to be able to code Java is a whole nother thing. If you want the challenge, go for it!  :)

Yeah. Java can be pretty difficult, but from what I've heard you can do some pretty cool things with it. Hopefully you'll figure out what you want to do with it. Sorry I'm not of much help  :?.

Well I'm not a computer geek (who am I kidding *sobs*) but I'll see if I can answer :)

This is what I tell a lot of people about Java. But before I start please (PLEASE!) don't base your career, course or any other important choices on something I say.

Learning your very first programming language is always quite hard (assuming it is your first). But once it's done it becomes so unbelievably easy to learn pretty much all the others :) So yes it will be very useful, even if you never do any Java programming again in your life.

IMHO, Java isn't the best language to start with. It has a lot of unnessicary (damn, I can't spell that word :-\) complexity. But that said, it's not the worst either, by a long way. And I found, the more you do the easier it gets.

Although I have no idea of your career aspirations or specific situation, in general I'd say. Yep it will be useful. Yep it will get easier. And nope it's not really hard (but it isn't the easiest).

Again, please don't listen to me to any great extent. Please wait to hear from more nerds ;)

-Kev

P.S. I actually hate Java, but my opinion is irrelavent because it just depends on how your brain works as to which programming languages you like best.

Edit: I see the other have already responded, look at their puny answers. pfft ;)

Title: KEVIN!!!
Post by: HappyZen on March 24, 2003, 07:05:15 pm
KEVIN!!! (#222)
You're like a mind reader :-)
I was waiting for your post!!! :-)

*hugs Kevin*
you rock my friend ...

So I won't blame you when I fail my first subject ever then? :-P

uuh It's almost like I really wanna drop it cuz I don't want anything hard anymore, and i was rejoicing in the idea that I didn't have any more study to do :-) But at the same time i really wanna do this ... just for my own personal challangy satisfaction thingy ... plus I apsire to be a computer geek :-) you guys are my heros :-) like this forum!!! *dies* it's amazing! and I really admire you guys for all the creativity and work that goes into it ... I wanna be a computer geek too!!!

I'm thinking I should tough it out, and just do it ...
It's a night class though so all the ppl are old and not friendly. Any help comes from the teacher ... much unlike uni when you didn't even realise there was a teacher and you used to ask your peers to copy ... I mean help ... nad exchanged and rebounded ideas off other kids ...

blah to the puny answers ... look to Kevin and LEARN ...

You're welcome Zee :) We can help you with your homework too, lol. You don't need those old unfriendlies. It might also be a good idea to wait for Will (m125 boy) to drop by and comment. He know everything about computers.

I took a so-called "introductory" course in Visual Basic last fall, and it was harder than my 4th year accounting theory class.  It was a living nightmare, and I was completely clueless.  Don't ask me how I passed it!

Daniel   :)

Post by: HappyZen on March 24, 2003, 08:21:57 pm

it sucks....
i'm scared ...
i have til next monday to drop it with out it without any consequences ...
and so that's why it's come up ...

btw :-) hey Dan ... good to see everyone again :-) hope all's well :-)
Title: Hey Zee!!
Post by: Daniel on March 24, 2003, 08:30:21 pm
Good to see you too   :wink:

If I were you, I'd look for another course to replace it with (assuming you were taking it for the sake of filling an elective requirement, as I had done with my Visual Basic course).  I'm no computer programmer, but I'm not computer illiterate... and I struggled with that course.  

I somehow got a B overall in that course, but that was because a large number of people in the class were worse off than me (it was graded on a bell curve)... and NOT because I was good at it (I wasn't), lol!!!

Daniel

Post by: HappyZen on March 24, 2003, 08:35:35 pm
Bell curve schmell curve. You're smart Daniel just admitt it :-)
Things like that come natually to you ...

This course this isn't a bell curve and there are actual programmers in the course ... like who know how to use Telnet and navigate thru' Dos like it's their own house ...
