C++, Java, SQL and Oracle

[NuclearFusi0n]

Hmmm, do you think it is possible to become highly proficent in these languages by april or may?

edit: Remember kids! In Russia, programming languages learn you!

 

[krwell]

Yes if you already know how to program then its possible. When you say Oracle language do you mean PL/SQL or just the database?

 

[pillage2001]

Yes, C++ and Java is pretty easy to learn. Not too sure about SQL and Oracle.

You really ought ot get out more NuclearFusion.

I need to be able to program in these languages well by summer. It's gonna be a looonnngg year

a. personal goal mainly
b. summer = sh|tloads of free time
c. omg 1337 interships with teh 1337ness that is computer science

if you're a CS major shouldn't you be pretty proficient in C++ and/or java?

what are the best books for self teaching? or is google my friend?

 

[singh]

C++ will take a couple of years, though it may take more time depending on your learning capabilities. Dunno about JAVA.

Deinitely. You could look up on example codesand expand on them.

You can learn each language in about a day. There isnt THAT much to the syntax. like 20 keywords (and most of them are the same) and maybe 5 difference constructs (for, while, if, switch ... ) and they are all the same. The hard part comes with the learning what types of logic work and which ones dont. That just takes experience. write lots of programs, and get used to different libraries like threads and graphical libs that way you will be ready for anything.

I agree completely. Also, check out anything written by Brian Kernighan. That guy writes the best stuff about C/UNIX programming/algorithms in general. He's one of the OG guys of computer science that still works at Bell Labs.

I would say it is REALLY possible for you to become highly proficient in those languages by summer. I know a ton of Java and am pretty decent with C++ and the one thing I find is it's really really hard for me to switch back and forth. They are so close in terms of syntax, but the few differences are huge, and usually I spend lots of time fixing C++ style code that I wrote in a Java app or vice-versa.

Good luck!

if you have programmed before yes, if your a n00b, no way
