Lol....I didn't see that. I'm changing my name to Captain Obvious.

somebody help lol

 

I can help debug your "Hello world" code snippet.

 

are you very good with c++?

 

Sorry, I was just trying to be a smart ass. I took a into class a year ago. I don't think I could help anyone though, I'd ask you for help most likely.

 

hahaha its all good. this class is driving me nuts. lol

 

Way more advanced than what I know. I need to learn to code, I should be trying to teach it to myself as we speak, but I'm a grasshopper.

 

get a Gaddis book, much easier to learn from then Savitch

 

IT guys that drive trucks? FINALLY!

 

I highly recommend Codecademy. It basically forces you to learn by doing. Totally free to use and has a BUNCH of different languages to figure out.

 

This one?

$40 Starting Out with Programming Logic and Design (3rd Edition)

https://www.amazon.com/Starting-Out-Programming-Logic-Design/dp/0132805456

 

yes but were using the 8th edition. im sure its basically the same

 

Thanks, what school are you at?

 

im no IT guy lol but my major is electrical engineering, so its pretty much integrated in my field. my focus is high voltage power and utilities.

 

im taking classes at RCC but getting ready to transfer to UCR, hopefully by next year if everything pans out

 

As seen by RynoDyno, there's a ton of different ways you can specialize in IT. IT is pretty generic and can vary from harware, to software, to design and CADs.

 

I was a finance major, switched my concentration in 2014 to cyber security after reading about all the hacks and finding my way to CSUSB's website, landed there cause I didn't have to start from square one to change. Transferred as a Business Admin with a Cyber Security concentration.

 

Welcome aboard, ol' chap!

Agreed. Codecademy is great especially as a way to get yourself started, I go back and do the things I'm familiar with to see if I can fill in gaps or get a new perspective.

Designers are often attached to us because they have fancy shmancy computers, they MUST be related to those guys! In reality, even your average software developer is now hipster codemonkey and hardly the old calloused-finger-tipped-mountain-dew-sucking slinger of the past.
