<p>Am considering doing this - not for the AP exam or anything, just so that <em>I</em> know I know how to code. Took a simple java course last year to fulfill my tech credit - it was easy and boring and I don't remember a bit of it. So, my questions are as follows:
1) Is this feasible?
2) What language is most useful, especially for use in the sciences (bio, biomed)?
3) Any sites you'd recommend?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Definitely feasible. C++ is probably the most common in science followed by Java. I suggest a book from the library. Or a google search maybe.</p>
<p>Play around a bit and see which one you like best. People usually start off with C++ and branch off to others for fun, from what I hear from newbie programmers. ;)</p>
<p>other way aroudn i believe, ppl usually start oop with java but I think c++ is more useful so you should stick to that.</p>
<p>Really? Different people, different experiences. :) But sure, I don't wanna mislead anyone, so listen to everyone replying. But I think it's pretty common for C++ to be considered most useful.</p>
<p>C++ is useful(my best language) but it isn't very useful unless you know the language pretty well. You might want to learn C++ and Java at same time. C++ for the nitty gritty, java because you can experiment w/ higher level concepts earlier on.</p>
<p>Yeah it aint too hard...Ive been learning C# on my own lately. Just get urself a good guidebook and it shouldnt be a problem</p>
<p>I learned C++ by myself... definetely doable</p>
<p>Got enough answers, sailor? ;)</p>
