Want more? We have just started classes, OOP, and some other nonsense Ill never see again. Finals in are in like 2 weeks, and I am so confused. Intro to basic kids are just learning what functions are and how to use them, that was like 2 months ago for us. I need someone to really explain how to use classes and OOP, If anyone knows (calling all you cs majors) help me. Explain what you put in private and public commands, where/what to use them, how to use :: (scope) and what its for, objectID.memberID (member operator), and so on. Also WTF is OOP?

And for you who are going to say "read the book", the teacher had regarded the book as a final last resort, "it is almost completely useless" (his own words).
 
Major?

I am a dual major in CSE && EE.
C++ and VB.net are crucial classes for you as you progress in your career.
The .net framework is widely spread and has high demand for it, so getting your foot in the door isn't a bad idea, my university doesn't require me to take VB.net but I took it on my spare time in a community college in my area , because my university doesn't offer it, and VB.net has to be one of the easiest programs to learn and helps you creat windows apps failry easily, if you are a beginner and you want to creat windows apps to run on any Windows platform (granted .NET framework is installed on it) then VB.net is the best option.

My advice take C++ and VB.net and JAVA if you can, they can always add glamore to your resume.
I have taken JAVA and VB.net next stop is C++ and C++ should be easier now since I have taken JAVA already.
But listen to me I am in the same boat as you are, do not take VB.net before JAVA / C++ as I did because you will get used to how easy it is and have difficulties in JAVA / C++ as I did in the beginning . So do the hard thing first then get to VB.net.
 
i think it totally depends what you want to do whether or not computer science will be useful.

if you do straight EE stuff you might not really need the .net framework. not EVERYONE uses microsoft (though i do at work as i work in commercial software)

i tend to think though that certain peoples minds just work certain ways. i took linear algebra and infinit series calc etc in college and i found i had to actually do some work for those. i did ok grade wise. the programming classes and theory i felt were pretty easy to understand though. so ig uess you just got it or you dont, same with a lot of things like say physics and magnetic fields which i had a lot of trouble with.

anyways, if you dont like that class, you probably arent going to be a programmer, so i suggest you not take any more of them.
 
Dude Im already taking C++, this is suppose to be a class for CS majors, not MEs. Intro to VB is the class that every ME is taking here, except for the lucky few who's advisor thought it would be more worthwhile to take C++ than a class I could actually pass with a decent grade. This class is suppose to be a second year C++ class to :|:|:|:|:|

My dad is a EE major and he told me he never uses C++ or VB in his line of work. Then again, he is developing circitry to be used in government satilites (missles).

Well I mentioned that I am a dual major CSE & EE so the programming languages that I am learning are majorly targeted toward my CSE side of the degree more than it's for the EE side of it 😉
