CS is practically all coding haha. Once you go further in there'll be classes that focus more on things like logic rather than actually writing code but if you do CS, expect to write a lot of code. If you can get a very strong understanding of CS111 and Data Structures though, you'll be set. I even know a bunch of people…
Hey OrangeKnight, I might be a little late to the party here, but I just wanted to say that I was in your shoes just a little while ago. I went back to school looking to get a degree in CS as a backup. The only coding I had done prior was the python series at the Code Academy website. Everything NegevPro has said has also…
Yeah it's no problem. I went in without having written a single line of code. The first class (CS111) brings everybody onto the same level. The only thing to keep in mind though is, you should do A LOT of coding outside of class. It'll seem really boring at first but once you code enough to the point where you actually…
@NegevPro CS does sound interesting, it's always been a little hard for me to grasp coding so I was wondering how much of CS is coding and how much of it is not.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Chemistry isn't that great of a back up to begin with unless you want to go a few steps further and apply to a pharmacy program (which will also require a lot of schooling after a 4 year degree, plus licensing exams). Most of the people who major in Chemistry just use it to go down a…
@NegevPro Without much previous experience with coding would it be possible to go into college declaring my major as Computer Science and still take Introductory Courses?
@sprunghut I know mutiple places have degree's in art it's just the fact that me and traditional art dont mix very well. @sukkoto I would love to self train myself but for a couple of reasons I cant really. First reason is the fact that I want to go through college, I want to be able to say I'm a college grad and go…
Wait so you want to spend 4 years just to say you went to college and graduated? Do you plan on ever leaving the country? I highly doubt your parents would kick you to the curb for pursuing your dreams... I'm sure they'd still put a roof over your head, I'd be a bit worried if they wouldn't lol. I'm not trying to sound…
are you forced into attending a degree school at the moment? if you can find work and learn how to do art in the spare time while bringing some income home so your parents wouldn't be bothering you with the money thing, you'll get closer to getting an art job much faster compared to the chemistry/whatever else degree…
