QUOTE (Keilnoth @ May 22 2009, 09:53 AM)  Anyways, we scared David off... He is running back to his guitar right now.  I was hoping to avoid that  Anyway, you still don't want those extra complications when someone hasn't completed their first program of "Hello World!" just as you don't want to talk about vibrato or track-doubling when you first teach someone their first E and A major triad chords. Perhaps it's just best that we've identified ourselves to David so that he knows we can help support his learning once he's chosen a starting point?

QUOTE (purple hayes @ May 22 2009, 01:24 PM) I hear Fortran is hot right now. I had to learn and use Fortran (along with Pascal and Machinecode) when I did my first degree (Chemistry) years ago. I still have nightmares about whether the variables are real or imaginary and how I should then code them. I'm amazed anyone even remembers it  .Spent a day this week having to compile on a linux Debian distro - that brought back memories as well. First computer I ever came across ran unix. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

QUOTE (David Wallimann @ May 22 2009, 07:32 AM) I've always been interested in programing stuff but don't know much about it. Anyone making a living from that? If so, what do you think I should start learning? It seams that there are a lot of different languages out there. I'm just thinking about a possible career move. Maybe going back to school... Any thoughts? :-) I majored in Economics in college (also got an MBA). Worked in a Bank for 11 years. Went back and got a computer science degree, and have made good money after doing so, much more than I made at the bank. Basically I am trying to say, go back to school. You can probably get grant money, and a loan for sure. If you want to play with a language, do this. Go to Adobe's site and download Flex http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/?promoid=BPDEQ You can get a 60 day trial (and if you enroll in school, I believe they give it free to students). Get the version that is a plug in into Eclipse. You can start off with that. Get a book that teaches you Flex, and gets you started using Eclipse. Or just look at some internet tutorials, there is a lot of that out there. That is a good way to get started, regardless of where you end up. |

QUOTE (fkalich @ May 22 2009, 04:49 PM) If you look on the history of cat lovers and cat haters, one is in much better company with the cat lovers. ... Very, very true. Back on topic. The people I know who are in the computer industry in some way or other tend to see it as a saturated market employment wise. If they are right, and I have no evidence one way or other apart from their opinion, then a University qualification will help immensely as fkalich says. Sadly without a lot of experience being an autodidact won't cut it. If you can do a post-grad more the better. I don't know about the US but the UK has had a stated aim of more than 50% of all school leavers to receive some form of University education. If you take that to equate to most receiving an u/grad qualification then a Bachelor level qualification no longer differentiates from the norm but pretty becomes it. (Yes I know this is a bit of a sweeping assumption but...) As such most of us in Uni level education see a post-grad as the minimum for differentiation. Sad but true - we live in a world of qualification inflation. Anyway, in the UK most grad schools will accept mature students who may not have had standard qualifications. Could be worth looking in to... -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
