<p>So, being the genius :) I am, I decided to convince the math department to let me skip Computer Programming 1 and go straight into Programming 2.</p>
<p>I've never taken or learned programming (I did learn a little Java for kicks, but not C++, the language that the class is in.)</p>
<p>So now I find myself 3 days into the semester, learning programming at lightning speed to catch up to the rest of the students. </p>
<p>This is the most fun I've had in years. Taking a class that I have no background knowledge in at the "advanced" level... it's nice to be challenged in school.</p>
<p>I did something similar with AP Java. We needed an "introduction class," which I never took. It's not too difficult though.</p>
<p>However, our computer league has put up quite a fight (though I think I'm winning). Topics like Bit String Flicking and Boolean Algebra need to be learned from scratch (sort of), and it's takes some getting used to.</p>
<p>I'm in the same boat as you. Next year I'll be taking AP Computer Science and don't have a clue about Java or anything. Basically the only thing I know semi-related to that is how to make/edit layouts for myspace, lol.</p>
<p>mcvcm92- I'm so sorry to hear that, that class sucked! My teacher was a real <em>insert vulgarity here</em> Worst class of my life! I seriously still have nightmares. And just when I thought I got rid of her, she screws me over still and I'm not even in her class anymore!</p>
<p>never, well it's going to happen next year, i'm going to take AP Calc/Stat and i haven't take Pre Calc. My dad probably has to pay for tutoring since my grades are lowest in math</p>
<p>Yes, the advanced pokemonic theory in conjunction with sexual orientations, and memorizing the dictionary during your sleep only, and waking up exactly 13.45 hours after with 50 words exactly memorized.</p>
