Eventually I would like to program games for a living (I know it’s cliché). I’ve been looking at lists of BAs for certain colleges and haven’t decided quite what I’m looking for. Very few schools have an accredited Game Design/Game Development/Game Programming BA (Go Santa Cruz!), but many have both Computer Programming and Software Engineering degrees. What’s the difference between the two? Is Computer Science a good alternative?

So I have taken an introductory course in comp. sci. and intend to eventually get a degree in computer science. But I have time off now; what can I do to get ahead? (Books, exercises, projects etc.? If so, what in particular?) I wonder if my programming practices are clumsy or understanding too limited to textbook instruction. Also, for the future, I’m especially interested artificial intelligence or maybe scientific applications.

I am a developer in C++. I want to get a master degree in programming. Is it:
Computer Science or Computer Engineering?

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 .

How to become a software programmer?
Do I need to go to college in order to study about computer science? Does a good programmer need to get a degree related to software? Please explain me how to be a programmer.

Thank you

I am a High School Junior, will be a senior is 1 day, and I am wondering which programming languages I should get acquainted with before entering college. I am planning on going into computer science & informatics and going into the security side of things. I have been told that I don’t really need to learn any but I’d still like to be ahead a little going in. I have already taken a class on VB and am currently working on some MySQL & C++. What else should I look into?

To become a gaming programmer, is it better to have a BS in Computer Science and a gaming track, or to have a BS degree in Gaming Stimulation ?

Also, salary-wise, who makes more money, the programmers or the artists?

I have just graduated with the BS in Computer Science from Troy University. I currently work at a helpdesk making good money and I don’t really want to leave this position. However, I do want to eventually jump into programming and I would like to know the best way to get experience.

I have heard that internships are a great way to accomplish this but where would I find one?
