Computer Science majors... I need advice

Did you go the Engineering to Computer Science route? I almost did, but it's a pretty popular shift in studies, so I went Economics instead.

You'll need Java, some C++, and it's likely you'll be taking a class or two of machine language. There may be some SQL/HTML stuff as well.

I'd suggest familiarizing yourself with C and C++. I would assume you'll be learning C# as well, so you could study that if you want.

Honestly though the only foundation that you really need is a knowledge of Java and C/C++.

Java would help. I used Starting Out with Java 5 from the Gaddis series. You will learn C++ and more advanced Java through the CS major. I learnt some SQL too but I don't think you need any database languages, at least not in my course.Buffalo_Soulja

Depends which college you go to. I have learned rather quickly that Compter Science is one of those majors that varies in difficulty depending on which college you attend. What I mean by this is, many if not most colleges refer to their programming courses as Computer Science. If this is the case, your core courses will teach you everything you need to know.

However, if you go to a college with a good Computer Science program, you better learn Java and C++ fast, and really master the concepts. This is because knowing how to program for a CS major is like knowing how to write for an English teacher. Your courses past the introductory ones will not teach you how to program, but will instead assume you know how program. Most CS courses are tought on a theory and conceptual basis more then anything, in which you must then apply the concepts to your assignment.

Anyways, good luck :) If you have any more questions, I'll try to answer them when I get to work.

p.s. I'm am currently getting my master's in computer science with a concentration in networks and network security.

It doesn matter which lang u know.. Its important that whatever u know, u should know it perfectly.. Most imp would be C,C++,Java.. its nothing that JAVA is a must.. M quite strong in c,c++ and .NET but not soo good with java.. So i try to program using c even though its complicated...
