Hai thar /prog/ I'm 15, going into sophmore year of highschool, and getting to be decent with computers. My last 2 computers have been built by me, I've done some game modding/scripting(Major TES fan), and I succesfully tri-boot gentoo lunix, freebsd, and XP. Overall, I know a pretty decent amount of my shit, and I've just recently started getting into programming. I've started out by learning Java, mainly because I want to take the AP exam for Comp Sci, and that means Java. I bought a book to learn the language, and a review book for the actual exam. My question, has anyone here taken the AP Comp Sci A or AB exams recently? Suggestions? Java isn't the most popular language from what I gather, so what should I learn after that?

TAOCP. If you finish it you will evolve into higher life.
Seriously, though, after you've read up and you think you are tough shit, go read TAOCP.

Protip: no computers on AP exams, be prepared to write all your shit out in a paper booklet with a pencil. You gotta do it right the first time, no chance for debugging.

Fuck Programing, I'm 16, going in Senior Year, and I scored a job at IBM.
Get MCSA/CCNA and some shitless A+/ L+ and N+ and you'd be set making 45k minunium part time, 60k Full time give or take.
Get to college, and get their fucking useless degree and you'd get 85K+ for doing the same work as before, this is what I'm doing with a dual enrollment (Hey, Highschool credits count as college so for less time in fucking college w/ fucking idiots and such, lawl.

That's fine. If you don't like writing software, you don't like writing software. Different strokes for different folks.
