help for future

Im planning to study Comuter Science or Software Engineering in college but I have very little knowledge of languages. I don't know if I need to know any languages beforehand.

I can do lots in LibertyBASIC and Java for Unity.

I barely know the first mini book of my Seven Book C++ compendium.

I want to learn Lua or XML for work or play

I want to learn wierd languages like SNOBOL or Python for the lulz

Most colleges should start you off with Java (at least mine did). From there, you gain the skillset for other programming languages. Java, like other languages is object-oriented. You should be able to pick up whatever language is being taught you.

Also, remember: you can always Google a method if you aren't quite sure how it works


For my internship redesigning a company intranet site, I used HTML with C# as the code behind and SQL Server for databases.

Further proof that IT skills are not learned in college, but in fact, learned by having a personal endeavor to self teach and self progress. Java? Basic? Hah suuuure

C/C++, PHP, SQL, OO generals....

... or bust.

Im applying for an engineering program this summer at Cal Tech and I was wondering whether or not I should start programming again before I go, and specifically in what language.
