Programming, .NET, Silverlight & More

Because in reality, computer programming isn’t at all that important to me.
I need to make it sound plausible.
Please help!

Writers frequently have to write about subjects that don’t interest them. Your instructor has probably outlined some method or formula for this kind of essay, and you should use that for the structure of your piece. Basically, you’ll need a beginning that introduces your readers to the topic and contains a thesis sentence, a middle that includes several points you want to make along with arguments to support them, and an ending that restates your thesis, sums up your important points, and states a conclusion.

Some points you might use are:

1. Learning computer programming improves one’s logic and analytical thinking.
2. Computer-programming skills are fundamental to many operations on the Internet.
3. Computer programming will be a hot area for new jobs over the coming decades.
4. Computer programmers will command respect in the community in the computer age.

You get the idea. You have to project yourself into the topic and come up with several statements that you can support with a couple of convincing arguments each and put it all together in essay form. Good luck with your project!

I am 17 with my GED, planning to start community college in the summer. I aspire to major in either Computer Programming or Registered Nursing. But I know the Nursing is wait listed and I most likely won’t have a job by the time I’m 18. I was thinking about getting my pre reqs and a certificate in Computer Programming over the summer, what jobs would this qualify me for?

Hello!
goto lynda website.
If you need any video tutorial order me i’l help you out.
or for other have a look over this..
hope helps you alot.

I would like to learn both computer programming and design;and web programming and design. Where can i learn the most in the shortest amount of time, for free?

You can learn the basics by reading books and looking at sites on the internet. But a lot of what books and online tutorials cover are simple, contrived examples that won’t help you a whole lot in the real world. Most of your learning will come from developing real applications for real businesses. They call that experience and there’s no substitue for it. You will never stop learning programming as no project is ever quite the same as any other you’ve done before. New problems will always pop up that you will have to learn how to solve. That’s what makes programming interesting. There really is no quick and easy way to "learn programming" other than by actually programming.

I want to know what computer programming languages are needed to run a computer. More specifically how each hardware component operates the instance the computer is turned. This is in relation to the pieces of hardware running the computer like sound cards, hard drive, and how they operate from the ground up.

Also, any references to learning these languages would also be beneficial.

Hi,
http://www.learn-programming.za.net/ will suit you.

Someone asked me, how mathematics is important and have a vital role in computer science or programming. So I told her but I could not satisfy him. Please tell me in detail. Where and how in computer programming math is used very extensively .

Math is the basis and foundation of all computer science. A computer is something that calculates. Nothing more. And since calculations are the concepts of all mathematics, that is how they relate.

A computer only understands one language, which is "machine language" and when broken down is really just mathematics. When you type or do anything on a computer, the CPU translates all of the keystrokes into binary ASCII code, such as 1001 0010

When you move your mouse, the CPU translates the location of the mouse pointer as coordinates on the screen, such as X:106 Y:-568

I can’t answer for programming, but you can imagine the answers would be similar. Programs are simply a middle point for people and computers to understand each other. If the computer only speaks English, and the user only speaks Spanish, then "programming" is the translator in the middle so that each one know what the other wants.

I know this is very optimistic, but gotta start somewhere. If for nothing else, I’d like to get introduced to computer programming.

C would be a great place to start. Try to learn a few different types of programming languages, too… it’ll help keep your mind nimble, so you can think outside the box of any one language’s traditional approach. So learn Prolog and Lisp, and one of those crappy object-oriented languages like Java. Learn a scripting language like Perl.

I want to take an AP computer programming class at my school, but I would like to learn the basics of essentially how computers work. I want to know like how to effectively write/ read script and use the command prompt. Really anything that you think would be useful. If there is a good informative website you could give me that would be great. Thanks a ton.

You totally have the wrong idea of a computer course. You will be doing stuff like this all year:

public class Demo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
for(int n=0; n<=10; n++)
System.out.println("Hello, even though I already said it "+n+" times!");
}
}

You make cool programs such as that. The best thing to do is download either eclipse or textpad (IDEs) beforehand and get used to programming with those. Get a java book at your local library and read the first five chapters. (Up until where you are very familiar with loops and arrays)

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KNOW HOW A COMPUTER WORKS
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE COMMAND PROMPT (if you have the IDE)

I want to go in one of these fields. I’m a senior in high school. I want to stay close to home and only one school around offers computer programming. A bunch offer computer science. What is the difference between the two? Can I also get an example of what each job would do?

Programming could be just vocational training, to enable you to program computers in some language or languages and that’s it, just so’s you can get a job say. Computer science would be a more generalized study of computational theory and the various kinds of machines that use it, though you’d probably get some programming training along the way. You could probably spend a lot more time studying that if you wanted to. Depends on what you’re after.

i want to learn computer programming but i’m not sure where to start. i know alot of people say start off learning one language then move on to another, but i’m not familiar with them at all. i want to start off learning to program websites or something in that field. should i use visual basic? c or c+?

For websites you want to begin with html/xhtml, then move onto CSS, then advance onto javascript and php/mysql.

And all of those languages are best written in a more lightweight program than Visual Basic. I personally use Notepad++ for all web design
