My Journey of Learning

What i'm currently working on

With the end of the year coming up, I’ve decided to get my ass back into school. I’ll be attending IUS for a computer science degree in which I haven’t worked toward in over a year; no studying up on Java, assembly language, or anything else I might need. This puts me in a bind especially since my next class will need me to know Java or C++ in and out as well as work on other aspects of computer science like getting A+ certified. I’ve bought a bunch of Dummies books to help guide me through this process which I enjoy even though they do rely heavily on meaningless storytelling. I understand its just to ease you into it all but it does get a bit tiresome (I normally just skip past a lot of this.)

I hope by January 10th (first day of class) I’ll have a better understanding of Java and be deeply invested in my A+ studies. I also have a book on CSS and HTML and all kinds of web programming but it will have to wait. I’m enjoying Java currently but can’t quite wrap my mind around some of the concepts that goes into building programs. I keep trying to memorize everything where what i should do is just keep the general idea in my head, mainly the different codes of API.

My main goal one day is to actually make a video game. The University I attend strictly uses Java and doing some google searching appears that games code a lot in C/C++ so I’ll also be learning that on the side once I feel more comfortable with what I’m currently learning. Expect to see me update a lot on how I’m doing in school, as well as general game stuff and other shenanigans.Are their any other programmers currently on GiantBomb? I would love to talk with you on how you learned and maybe some pointers to help speed things up.
