It's the easiest programming language. I haven't done any computing at a level so I thought this would be a good idea to get me started. You interested in networking?

ah right, what A levels did you do then. I duno actually i enjoyed networking the first year at college but i ended up choosing software development in the second year. id say im more of a programmer than on on the hardware side.

I did english lit and language, maths and psychology.
Ah cool! Yeah I'm a bit of both, is there anything you would recommend for me to read up on in terms of beginning networking??

Sorry, I hope I'm not spamming up your thread!!

dont worry about it, its been here for ages and no ones replied haha, if you didn't do any computing at Alevel what made you want to do computer science ?

for networking id say start with
*types of network and standards
*network topology
*network protocols

and the OSI model which is hard and complicated even i still don't get it,
ive got a few notes from college i could send you if you want

Ha okay :smile:
I don't know, it's a long story and hard to explain :tongue: in a nutshell I did one year at uni studying English lit and philosophy and didn't like it so transferred to something more objective which I will start in September :smile:

Okay sure! That would be great! Thankyou! :biggrin:

i hated english so much at gcse haha, plus computer science is much easier and has a higher chance of getting a good job after uni
Reply 16
