?

So my college has a shitty CS program.
I'm a rising junior, and all I know are Java, C, and some system level workings of the cpu (process scheduling, memory management, etc).

Sure Java and C are helpful, but I can't get an internship going off just this, let alone a real career after graduation. What should I be looking more into this summer if I want to make myself more marketable? I know a bunch of kids who are diving into web development, but i already know enough and I know from reading here that it isnt really the best field to go into.

You can't do anything.  You're doomed to a life mediocrity.

HEY DICKFUCK THE CPU DOESN'T SCHEDULE PROCESSES YOU ASS.  YOU NEED TO WRITE A SCHEDULER TO DO THAT.  IT ALSO DOESN'T MANAGE MEMORY, IT JUST FUCKING MAPS IT.  YOU NEED TO WRITE A FUCKING VMM SUBSYSTEM YOUR DAMN SELF.  YOU SHITTY, VOMITLICKING FUCKTARD.

OH, AND HANG OUT ON THE STREET CORNER WEARING DRAG.  THERE'S YOUR FUCKING "MARKETING STRATEGY."  ASS.

>2 I'm honestly asking for helpful advice from people, maybe you, who are more experienced and can give some helpful tips

oh, hey dipshit. I never said the cpu scheduled processes did I? It handles processes based on scheduling, which means process scheduling is req'd to know how the cpu works.

Fucking dumbass, at least i can say more than you.

so what's the type of &"anus", ``faggot''?

guys, remember to sage. It is concidered polite in /prog/.

As for advice, I hear .NET is p baller these days. Concider picking up C# or something

Just drop the fuck out. Colleges are for confomists-java-happy-morons.

1. Aggressively berating someone because they made a benign error in diction makes you out to be an insufferable egotist.

2. If he learned about system level OS programming don't you think that, at some point during his course of study, he would have realized that he was working with code and not digital circuits? Use common sense.

3. Trolling is for adolescents. The same goes for caps lock.

Don't take obvious trolls seriously with full arguments. The key is to try and bait them with minimal amount of words.

Knowing Java can still get you a job/internship.

Whether you like colleges or not, having a certificate is better for your career than not having one. An expert programmer who can code proficiently in Lisp, Assembly and C has a higher chance to get hired if he has a shitty Java-and-Sepples CS certificate than if he doesn't. Grow up.

Do not drop, OP, and ignore aggressive remarks. I am honestly recommending you this (and I know there are people who will shit their guts and call me a troll). Read the book titled "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" or SICP. You can read it for free here:
http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html

Even if you do not like Scheme (you might then move to another Lisp dialect, or even decide to use another language like C), the book will walk you through developing a lot of important skills that will make you a better programmer, whichever language you decide to use.

The book might be a bit too complicated for the average person. Do not fret, however. The book is not meant to be finished by next Friday. It'll take you up to months to finish it, and you might need supplement it with another book or a lot of personal googling. You'll learn a lot along the way and by the end of the road you'll be a true expert programmer.

A few other good books:
- The hipsters who use Racket recommend HtDP as an introductory book if you have troubles with SICP.
( http://www.htdp.org/2003-09-26/ )
- If you like Lisps, or at least go through SICP, you might want to try out On Lisp.
( http://unintelligible.org/onlisp/onlisp.html )
- K&R (for C)

Other notes:
- Try to master programming in C, and learn your architecture's Assembly.
- The more you challenge yourself the better you become. No such thing as ``I can't''.
- Good luck.

I saged my post out of habit, but it should be bumped, so...

This is sad, really sad.

Yep.

Nope.

Once you realize that working as a programmer in corporate environments is rape of the soul and the mind, it's all becomes clear.

no. the correct answer would be char(*)[5]

Both are valid. Your parentheses are superfluous.

Dad said to me:"Get coach bags please！And look out of the window. What a fine day! Let's go to park,"It was really a good day, So my mother, my classmate and I went to the park. On the way to the park. I saw coach canada the blue sky with snow-white clouds. I saw pear trees and some apple trees and so on. Below the trees, there are several kinds of flowers. It's colorful, blue, red, yellow, pink, purple, orange and white.I saw some coach purses balloons and butterflies in the sky. I ate popcorn, cornflakes, banana and lollipop. They were wonderful. In the afternoon, we went to coach outlet store. I visited the birds, mice, cats, dogs, budgies, hamsters, rabbits and so on. http://www.coachpurses-sale.net/

>>17 really helpful, i wish more people would actually contribute to the topic. It would be really helpful to others

HELLO THIS IS >>3

TAKE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MOLECULES IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE TO THE POWER OF THE KNOWN AREA OF THE UNIVERSE.  THE RECIPROCAL OF THAT VALUE IS HOW MUCH I GIVE A DAMN ABOUT BEING AN EGOTIST, ETC.

YOU GOT IT BACKWARDS FAG.  KNOWING HOW CPU'S WORK IS CRUCIAL TO WRITING A GOOD SCHEDULER, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.  SHITHEAD.
