<p>Well I'm looking into computer engineering/software engineering as it interests me. Yet, I have no prior programming experience except attempting to teach myself java at the moment. I'm also only taking pre-calc this year instead of calculus,but I have however taken physics and chem at my school.
What I'm looking for is any input on what i should maybe be expecting in college?</p>
<p>You shouldn’t worry; the fact that you’re even looking at programming languages already puts you a step above most of your peers. Most people know nothing about programming when they start, but they learn fast.</p>
<p>Most people don’t know programming until they take the classes in college. Makes no differences on how well you do. Java/C++ is very hard to learn on your own. Once you get inside a classroom, it’s much much easier!</p>
<p>The only thing you should know about is that it will be a **<strong><em>, but only for a little while (well, some people never really get out of that…). The important thing is that you should know that if you don’t give up, you’ll eventually get away from the ‘</em></strong> am i even supposed to be doing’ feeling and you’ll understand what’s going on. Most people never experience or have to study anything like programming, so it’s a bit of a shock.</p>
<p>Don’t give up! Tons of people get through it, so if you’re competent enough to do math and science, you ought to be able to do this too.</p>
<p>Okay thanks for your replies guys, I was just worried as most people in my school looking into engineering and such have already taken BC calculus.</p>
