What is this class all about any ways???

Answer 1

so computer science(comp sci) is the development of computer code. in other words, creating programs. there are countless different "languages" that you can learn, but the best place to start is C++. if you learn c++, the same concepts can be adapted to different languages, although the syntax may differ.

Answer 6

The best place to start is unlikely to be C++ in my opinion, especially if you're looking to self-teach, start with high level stuff, Python or Ruby or something like that. It's 2011, why would anyone consider C++ the best place to start?


C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl; cout << "Welcome to C++ Programming" << endl; }



Python

print 'Hello World!', 'Welcome to computer programming'
