I am currently interested in persuing a career in GIS, but I was wondering if Java and C++ are key elements in GIS, since I am not so great at programming computers.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Computer Programming?
Here are typical courses required in a GIS Certificate program:
5 Required Courses:
*Understanding GIS
*Geographic Data
*Problem Solving with GIS
*Cartographic Concepts and Map Design
*Spatial Analysis and Modeling
Two of the following Electives:
*GIS for Environmental Management and Natural Resources
*Remote Sensing and GIS
*GPS and GIS
*Digital Image Processing
But some of the GIS programs were part of the Computer or IT program, so unfortunately, if you want to do well in this field, you have to have good IT skills, and programming skills...
According to Geocomm, if you want to be a GIS analyst, you need to have some of the following technical skills (but the job title can vary as well as the skills needed):
*Strong GIS skills with two or more GIS packages
*Strong Macro / C / C++ / Visual Basic programming skills
*Understanding of and/or willing to learn math and statistical analysis
*Strong Oracle or related RDBMS skills including development skills
*Excellent verbal / written communication skills
*Genuinely excited and enthusiastic about learning and pushing technical limits / finding new solutions
*Good writing skills - for documentation, training, processes
*Formal training (eg. Degree) or high level of experience with GIS.
*"Hands-on" experience
*Good analytical / problem solving skills
*A basic understanding of the concepts behind data management in a relational database
*Good IT technical skills
*The ability to think and solve problems
Here's some of the other GIS job titles that require varying levels of the skills/knowledge listed above:
GIS Technician
GIS Data Specialist
GIS Specialist
GIS Mapping Technician
Engineering Technician
GIS Mapping Assistant
GIS Application Specialist
Engineering Aide

Computer Programming? NEED HELP NOW!!!!?
I am taking a computer programming class and I need to write a program that determines if the input is a leap year. I need help writing it and if anyone would know how please answer soon.
Computer Programming? NEED HELP NOW!!!!?
a leap year is:
(divisible by 400) OR ((NOT divisible by 100) AND divisble by 4)
so e.g. in Java this would be:
public boolean isLeapYear(int year) {
return (year%400 == 0) || (year%100 != 0 %26amp;%26amp; year%4 == 0);
}
Reply:Actually, the code should read,
if (year % 4 == 0)
{
cout %26lt;%26lt; "The year is a leap year!" %26lt;%26lt; endl;
}
If the year IS a multiple of 4, performing a modulus by 4 will return 0.
Reply:int enteredYear;
int leapReference = 2000;
int leapResult = leapReference - enteredYear;
if (leapResult % 4 == 0) enteredYear " is a leap year!";
else enteredYear " is not a leap year";
The key here is that you have to find if the year is a multiple of four. Hope that helps!
edit: Thanks for catching the error, i was thinking of the else qualifier when I typed the if statement!

Wanting to learn computer programming?
Hi,
I'm studying I.T at GCSE, but its so dull and doesnt challenge me. I've tried every OS out there and I want a new challenge - to learn computer programming. Maybe C++?
I'm 15, but I know quite a bit about computer hardware and software after spending years experimenting (and breaking) with things.
Where would you suggest I start? I would love to hear some recommendations from you.
Thank you very much,
John
Wanting to learn computer programming?

It's a good beginner's reference and should really get you knowing whether or not you want to program. ... but don't join the forum. We hate kids because they are, frankly, quite annoying.
I should mention, in regards to the post above me, that to many programmers the recent switch to colleges teaching programming basics in Java has been widely considered a big, big botch up. This is because it doesn't teach fundamental structure nearly as well as C did and is only taught because statistics have shown Java to be the most requested language in the job force. The politicians don't understand that structure greatly outways syntax.
Reply:If you want to learn Windows programming then have a look at VB, it's good to start to understand Windows programming and Java is soo much harder to achieve the same results.
If you want to do web stuff - learn something like PHP, it helps you understand the complications that web applications give you.
If you have the time then learn Java, it covers all of the technologies - but is the hardest to learn. It does give you the advantage as well that your not limited to Windows, Java is platform independent ( done properly ) and as some software vendors are moving more to Linux for there tools - it's not excluding you from that market.

Reply:Microsoft have just released some cut down versions of the C++ Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It's completely free to download.
They have also released IDE's for C# and Visual Basic.
You can also download Microsoft Visual Web Developer if you are interested in learning dotNet for web applications. Web applications are a really new but upcoming area in programming and you might consider taking this path to have some skills that will be sought after in the future.
You can download the Express Editions from the following web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/express/
Also as part of the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) there is a new site called the Beginner Developer Learning Center, which will give you tips on getting started as a software developer.
Think about buying some books to supplement your learning. Some of the books come with example code and projects that you can work through to aid your learning.

Reply:I would start with Java. That's the language that many colleges start out with. It's a good object-oriented language to know. Plus, by learning Java, you'll be able to easily learn C++. Actually, by learning how to program in general, you are getting a good basis on learning how to program in any language. Good luck!
Reply:I would do some research to find a good online course. Make sure they are teaching what you really want to learn. I'm sure there are some good ones out there, but also beware of the ones that arent so good and just want your money.

Even though this is not a religious question what would be the best Online college for computer programming.?
Im seeking to get an Associate degree in Computer Programming and I wanted to know anyone that has attended an online college that had a great Computer programming curriculum and the name of the college...
Even though this is not a religious question what would be the best Online college for computer programming.?
I am a Computer Tech. A+ and dabble in programming. I've looked into the University of Phoenix On-line that is a well known on-line school program and it has a very good reputation. Here is the URL :

Anyway, why did you choose to post this in the religion section? You must have sensed that I, the Goddess of the Internet, was present here.
there are plenty of good online degree programs for computer programming, but none will be as good, in my opinion, as actually going to a class in a traditional college.
Reply:Now why is this question in Religion?...I missed it.
Answer: dunno.
Reply:Try the University of Phoenix. I know of someone who got their Business Degree with an emphasis in Computer Programming (or something like that). He became a manager of the County IT department. If you are going to do an online college then Phoenix is very recognized.

Help me on this computer programming question, PLEASE!?
I want to do computer programming but what program do i need on my computer to do it??? (E.G. Java, C++)
Help me on this computer programming question, PLEASE!?
If you want to learn Java I'd recommend installing netbeans, (http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/index... you'll probably want one of the ones near the bottom with the jdk) it's free.
Netbeans does a lot of java stuff for you automatically, like all the compiling and running. It also comes with a lot of good examples and tutorials.
Reply:How old are you?
You need what is called a "Compiler", This is an interpreter. It takes your symbolic code (be it Java, C++, Visual BASIC, etc.) and breaks it down in machine code (0's and 1's) that the computer can understand. There is an intermediary Language called an "Assembler", these are usually computer specific.
Nuff said?
P.S.
You have to be able to think in logical order, unlike writing a novel every step has to follow another step to tell the computer what to do, how to follow a set of instruction. No matter what computer language you use to program with.
Reply:if you are just starting, try visual studio express (www.microsoft.com/vstudio/express). it is an extremely good way to get introduced to programming.
Reply:First, you should get training or go to school and learn one or more programming languages!
Reply:For java, download the Java Development Kit (JDK). It's free from Sun: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ind...
-- There's also an official tutorial from Sun at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
For C++, there are lots of resources on C++ and free compilers you can download here: http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/...
If you attend a class, you will also receive the software you need. It may also be less intimidating as you can readily ask question and get feedback from others around you who are also learning. Just take it at a community college. Good luck!
Reply:firstly, what type of program would you like to create? do you want to create a database program? do you want to create a game to play? each type of programming will lead you to a different type of programming style.
there is VB (Visual Basic), C++, Java and a whole lot more. it really depends on what you want to do first. saying that you want to do computer programming is very general. you have to ask yourself what type you want to learn first.
by my count, i would recomment C programming language first. it is by far the easiest to learn and easiest to execute. simple IF ELSE statements to learn how the basic thing works first before moving on to more advanced languages like Java and Visual Basic / Studio.

Is there a computer program that I can get to create video games and play them on playstation 2?
I want to make video games like for wrestling that does like hardcore japanese wrestling and other things like that. Is there a computer program to make games or modify existing ones to add new features?
Is there a computer program that I can get to create video games and play them on playstation 2?
Forget about modifying existing PS2 games. That won't happen.
If you want to develop new games, there's two options: Buy the official Sony Development Kit for the PS2 (big bucks) or get the Linux community supported development kit for the PS2.

What are the better programming languages for getting hired for a computer job?
What are the better langauages to get hired with JavaScript, Java Programming, C++, FrontPage, Linux, Fortan, Cobal, HTML, Visual C++, Oracle SQL ?
What are the better programming languages for getting hired for a computer job?
You are probably going to get lots of opinions!
Frontpage and Linux aren't languages.
Javascript is required for any web devlopment
Java is the cobol of the '90s. Popular now, but it will be eclipsed by newer languages.
C++ is a great intro to object oriented programming, and currently the best language for writing desktop apps.
Fortran, Cobol and others belong in history books, nice to know but very few practical uses these days.
HTML is not a programming language. It's a markup language, and coupled with XML it is a requirement for any job!
Visual C++ is a microsoft version of C++ , great for building games or program that croak on each new release of MS software!
SQL again is not a programming language, but the most prevalent database query language.
all the languages you mentioned are products of the last millennium! the world changes quickly!
Python, Ruby, PHP, Perl, XSL, and others are the current choices for large projects.
Any language will have a niche market, but to get the good jobs, you need to know at least 4 programming languages, and the major packages that are used with them!
Reply:When comparing programming languages, quite a few share similar syntax or keywords. The difference lies in the order or format that they must be written in. For example Java, Visual C++ and C++ use very similar syntax to make reference to methods and declaring variables and are considered Object-Orientated languages. Simlar can be said about Oracle SQL. Because SQL is a standardized query language for databases, a heavy portion of the langauge is interchangable with variances of keywords when comparing TSQL to MySQL to Microsoft-SQL and Oracle SQL.
Fortran and Colbal is still used, but you'd see it in more in scientific research fields. Linux is an operating system just like Windows is. It has many variants that share similar interfaces and console commands, the major difference lies in it's intended purpose from scientific research to more media and overal-user support.
Ok now regarding what is best for a job:
-%26gt;Knowing HTML and SQL is benificial. Because most businesses are web-based and looking for dynamic websites, The background of these two languages will make it easier to understand how server-side scripting acts as a translator between the two. Server-side scripting languages include PHP, ASP, Python and Pearl.
Theses languagues submit information to the data base using SQL and then retrieve and translate results into HTML for the webserver to present to the user. Though PHP and Mysql are highly used and open-source, there are many employees looking for skilled individuals who know VB.net and SQL or Oracle devlopment. VB.Net is a revised version of Visual Basic that supports a more object oriented aspect and holds some minor similarities to C++. VB.Net is also a component of ASP making it ideal when using it to interface between a webserver and a database. And for this reason I've seen quite a few classifieds for Oracle and VB.net skills.
-%26gt;Regarding Linux operating systems with it's many flavors: popular ones to consider becoming familiar with: Ubuntu, Fedora, Red-hat, Gentoo, Open Suse
-%26gt;Java and Javascript in general is a good language to learn because it can function regardless of the host's operating system and is responsible for performing a lot actions within a dynamic website such as forms and fields. It is also a component of ASP.net just as VB.net is as well
-%26gt;Frontpage? Well, given the situation that it is to your benfit to know HTML. Frontpage and other (WYSIWYG) editors such as Dreamweaver should be more of cake walk, once you grasp the HTML concepts behind them.
Reply:Java (a simplified version of this is used for Smart Cards)

Income tax time. Does anyone use Turbo, H and R Block, any program used on your computer?
I have always used a bookeeper. Since my husband has retired our taxes are now pretty simple. Does anyone have a computer program that they reccomend?
Income tax time. Does anyone use Turbo, H and R Block, any program used on your computer?
Just do Turbotax or TaxAct. eFile on the Federal only and the free Federal eFile. Then go to your State website. You can find it in any search engine. You type in your State along with "department of taxation". E.g, I typed in California Department of Taxation on altavista and "California Franchise Tax Board" came up. That's the government body that collects income tax {and I believe all taxes} for the State of California. I say all of that because I do not know a single State that charges on their website. So you can eFile the State return for free. If the IRS accepts your return, you should get your State back in 5 business days and your Federal in 10-15 business days depending upon how late in the season. This also depends upon the software not messing up. You have to keep checking to make sure it went through. I've bought very expensive software before (drake) and it didn't go through. I got all kinds of lies and excuses for why it didn't go through, depending upon which rep answered the phone.
Wow! One thing to watch out for: refund anticipation loans {RALs}: Don't do it. What they do is USURY and should be illegal. These "emerald" loans are just as unscrupulous as the whole life insurance companies. Instead of being remorseful and ceasing to attempt to bleed the public, they came out with universal life. What a ripoff!! Now, Block with their refund anticipation loans, instead of ceasing such things, have come out with the "emerald loans", or "green emerald loans". They want to trap you in to having no choice but to return to them. That's the same as whole life insurance. I heard more prospective clients tell me "I've put too much in to it. I can't get out". Same scenario. So don't go to Block. Here is a testimonial: "If you got an emerald advance line done from them in December probably yes {you're trapped in to returning to that outfit}. If you can, do not go to H%26amp;R Block this year. My sister got an advance done in December and she paid through the teeth this tax season. She paid
almost double what she did in 2006. Also, they are not issuing checks anymore, either. They are giving the early anticipation loans now on a debit card. My advice for you is to go to a local private tax preparer who will probably do the return for under $100. They can e-file the tax return and you won't have to pay the outrageous fees. So if you did have H%26amp;R Block do an advance in December you'll have to have them finish the other part of the return for 2007. If you didn't then you won't have to return ere."
Another testimonial on the sick joke of going to H%26amp;ripoff: "In addition, I'd try to use something like Turbo Tax. All HR Block are doing is running software and asking
you the questions. When my wife and I first bought our house we were a little apprehensive about doing the taxes, so we went to HR Block. What a mistake. The guy at HR Block was asking us the questions that popped up on his computer. During this process we had a question about an item. The guy at HR Block
said he didn't know and he was only putting in what we told him to put in. This cost us $150! I ended up not letting them submit the taxes electronically because I had to look up my question. What a rip off!
TurboTax costs about $50 and does the same thing."
When my ex and I went to H%26amp;dumb dumbs, we found we owed a large tax bill. They calculated penalty and interest for us. That's up to the taxpayer and the IRS!! We had claimed 4 exemptions. Then the H%26amp; dumb dumb rep said "drop 'em". That's what she said. All the things you can legally do to save on your taxes; all the deductions and credits; all the ways you can save on your income taxes and you can find more ways every year. That's
what she said:"drop 'em". No questions; no deductions; no asking about receipts and diaries of expenses; no list to prepare to save on taxes in future years - worse than worthless! In a subsequent year, the moron told us that we were employers and had to withhold social security from our babysitter.
The limit for reporting income then was $600. We only paid around 50 to the babysitter. Yet H%26amp;R dumb dumb told us that we were employers and had to
withhold tax from this poor lady!! They did not tell us to get a second opinion!!! The idiot did not know the tax law. Further, the idiot and the thief told us that their company {H%26amp;R ripoff} would graciously amend our income tax return. Then they charged us the equivalent fee without any advance warning!! They said they would do it. They did not have to; they lied. then they made it appear as if they would do it without a fee, as there was only one entry to change. The fact that they are still in business show how illiterate taxpayers are about their taxes. That's what started my business. I got tired of overpaying my taxes. I went into competition with H%26amp;dishonest and exposed them.

Income tax time. Does anyone use Turbo, H and R Block, any program used on your computer?
Just do Turbotax or TaxAct. eFile on the Federal only and the free Federal eFile. Then go to your State website. You can find it in any search engine. You type in your State along with "department of taxation". E.g, I typed in California Department of Taxation on altavista and "California Franchise Tax Board" came up. That's the government body that collects income tax {and I believe all taxes} for the State of California. I say all of that because I do not know a single State that charges on their website. So you can eFile the State return for free. If the IRS accepts your return, you should get your State back in 5 business days and your Federal in 10-15 business days depending upon how late in the season. This also depends upon the software not messing up. You have to keep checking to make sure it went through. I've bought very expensive software before (drake) and it didn't go through. I got all kinds of lies and excuses for why it didn't go through, depending upon which rep answered the phone.

Voice typing computer program for the handicap?
I have an older brother who's handicapped, and confined in a wheelchair. He wants to be able to type out words in the Microsoft Word program primarily through his voice as well as to be able to open, operate, and close all of his other computer programs through his voice. What type of computer software would I have to buy for him? And what's the best brand for this type of computer software?
Voice typing computer program for the handicap?
Well i've used:
On XP: Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9
It was a little fustrating to use, and the text doesn't pump out immediately. The training seems to take forever, as you have to train it alot.
On Vista: The built in Voice recognition (from Ease of Access) It was ok, but I'd recommend a clean mike, because the computer has a little difficulty hearing your voice. However there is a guide for beginners and that was easy to use, because there are features that let you spell out letters by saying "A as in apple, C as in capital, I as in internet"
Reply:If you are already using windows vista it comes with a new speech to text accessibility application. It is not the "best" but it does allow the user for the most part to control all functions of windows as in desktop browsing, writing documents, browsing the web. Would strongly suggest using a headset. Also you may want to look in to getting a non standard keyboard. I will give you a link for windows speech to text also a link to "top 10 weirdest keyboards" Though some may thing they are weird they can be a god send for people with disablement because of their "weird" layout. twiddler 2 is one and another i would say is orbitouch.

I'm trying to teach myself some programming skills for computers i have no certain language i want to learn i would perfer the easiest one to start with also i would like a website that has tutorials and so forth
thanks in advance
What is a good website to learn about computer programing?
For web programming, you need to learn HTML first, then likely CSS. A great site for tutorials on this is: http://www.w3schools.com
As for object oriented programming, there are a few to choose from when starting. The most common choices seem to be C++, Java and VB. All have thier merits and downfalls, but all are good learning tools (I would say Java personally). Once you learn one of these, the others are extremely simple to picj up as they have the same underlying comcepts.
Turorials:
Java: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
C++: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
VB: http://www.vbtutor.net/vbtutor.html
Once these are learned, stepping up to other languages such as C, C#, python, php, etc. should be no problem. Good luck!

How do you design computer programs?
I want to learn how to design computer programs......not for any specific use yet, but anything will help.
How do you design computer programs?
Hi there. You'll need extensive knowledge in programming languages first before you tackle the job of creating them. There's many out there: C++, C, C#, Visual basic are the most common languages, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Here's a list of most of the programming languages out there:
http://microsoft.toddverbeek.com/lang.ht...
Remember, some are just for the internet (java, perl), and some are standalone apps (visual basic, C++).
Hope this helps!
** Oh man, looking at the list, I even used some of them long time ago .. turing, logo .. hehs **
Reply:Microsoft Visual Basic is a good program to start with. It is a simple programming language. They have tutorials and good help programs. Also you can get good books to help you.

Inspiring DJ here: I'm looking for a computer program that can separate the lyrics from a song?
I want to have the ability to isolate the lyrics from the beat(or instrumental) of the song. This is to do mashups while DJing.

Is a programming certificate from Comm College sufficient to procure a well paying job in computer program'g?
Mid-life career change! Get the B.S. or just get the basics?
Is a programming certificate from Comm College sufficient to procure a well paying job in computer program'g?
You're probably going to have a slightly harder time finding a first job with a certificate than if you had a degree, but it's not impossible. After the first job, your portfolio and experience will speak for themselves.
If you go to CC Certificate route, get a hobby project that you can program for to build your resume. The grander and the more impressive, the better, since that's something you will be able to point to when you're showing your qualifications, and that's even more impressive than any sheet of paper.
Reply:A hobby project is just something that you work on in your spare time because you want to, to show off your skills. Report It
Reply:Certificates are nothing, only your Brain can make you a programmer. I think you should start working on your own. Do some projects for your relatives and others for free or against a small price then go find some job and show your projects. This will help you great, finding your FIRST job.
Reply:I would say yes and I would endorse the first response in this thread. I have the experience of attending a Technical College for VB, and though I was a mainframe programmer who was never able to land a job to use the VB, I was instrumental in landing a job for a fellow classmate, who previously had driven heavy construction equipment. I also only managed a two-year associates degree. I got my start in programming by qualifying, with the help of my degree which had nothing to do with programming, for an in-house 90 day programming course. However, I had many doors slammed in my face for most of my career. Today, many programmers even have Masters degrees. I moved too much and worked too many hours to ever be able to get another degree.

Reply:Certificates are nothing, only your Brain can make you a programmer. I think you should start working on your own. Do some projects for your relatives and others for free or against a small price then go find some job and show your projects. This will help you great, finding your FIRST job.
Reply:I would say yes and I would endorse the first response in this thread. I have the experience of attending a Technical College for VB, and though I was a mainframe programmer who was never able to land a job to use the VB, I was instrumental in landing a job for a fellow classmate, who previously had driven heavy construction equipment. I also only managed a two-year associates degree. I got my start in programming by qualifying, with the help of my degree which had nothing to do with programming, for an in-house 90 day programming course. However, I had many doors slammed in my face for most of my career. Today, many programmers even have Masters degrees. I moved too much and worked too many hours to ever be able to get another degree.

From where do i learn computer programming using the internet?
you don't. you'll need schooling and a lot of books and practice.
Reply:i don't agree, the best are self-taught and you don't need to buy books, but you need practice and A LOT of it. after you learned your first language its easy to learn other just by looking at the code. i will post some starter links with FREE information.
I recommend you to at least read w3schools html tutorials

Computer programming, easy to self-teach?
I have very basic (meaning beginner, not the language) understanding of computer programming in C, C++, Visual Basic and a tiny bit of Java. I learned about it in college up until pointers and arrays, then I kind of lost interest.
Is this the kind of thing that I can learn on my own fairly easily, or is it usually best to take some kind of class? I'm interested in getting back into programming and eventually venturing into web programming (SQL, CGI, ColdFusion, Flash, yadda yadda yadda) and possibly even game programming. Where should I start? What should I do? There's so much to learn... I don't know where to begin.
Computer programming, easy to self-teach?
In 1984 I taught myself Basic on an Apple IIe. I didn't touch a computer again until 1997. Then I found a tech support position answering telephones with a company who was willing to pay me while I learned programming. I took classes and read everything I could find. I still do not have a college degree. Today I am a senior software engineer with over 10 years experience making more than $100k. You can do it too! The issue of classes versus reading books on your own really depends on you and your learning style but formal classes will help you stay in touch with modern trends and techniques. If I were you I would get on Monster.com and Dice.com and any other job site you can find. Get yourself an entry-level programming or tech support job and start reading and taking classes at the same time.
Technology jobs are going to increase a great deal over the next decade because so few people are interested in doing it. If you look you will find someone who is willing to take you on as an employee with minimal experience and let you learn on the job. Go for it. It is a high paying, casual and rewarding career and the industry needs young people who are interested and willing.

Reply:You can learn it by yourself but you have to work very hard. In a class you will only learn some of it and they may not go over the C++ you want to know to make ________
Reply:Learning computer programming takes a lot of practice in order to familiarize oneself with the syntax of the programming language one wants to use as well as the common methods (no pun intended) used to solve problems / accomplish tasks through code.
Taking a programming class is, I have found, an effective means of learning a new programming language since it forces you to practice (by means of homework, assignments, …) everything you learn.
However, taking a class is not the only way to learn a language, and after a certain amount of programming experience, it may not even be necessary.
You said that you already have some programming experience in C/C++, VB, and Java. So you should already be very familiar with the concepts which are common to all languages, for example you already know about using variables, loops, and so forth…..you might only know how to use them in one of two languages, but you know when and why you would use them. After one knows the ‘theory’, the rest is just syntax which is specific to the language and is almost trivial.
A programming class will try to teach the student the ‘theory’ using examples in a specific language. But if you already know the theory, the hard part is done and all you need is a reference book to see how to properly tell the computer what you want it to do in the particular language you are using.
So I would not recommend (or rather, I don’t feel that it is necessary) going through all the trouble of taking a class just to learn a particular language. Of course, if you are shaky in your ‘theoretical’ programming knowledge, then a class would certainly not hurt. Otherwise, I think with a good How-To / Reference book, one could (with some self-discipline) learn the language on their own.
Practice is the key....you cannot simply read the reference book as one might a novel, one needs to actually program in order to reinforce the lessons.
Now, you also mentioned going into game design. Designing / Programming games involves more than just a basic knowledge of the language one wants to use. Game programming can be a bit more advanced, especially when it comes to doing some of the fancier things one finds in games these days with 3D graphics and what-not. One generally does not learn these techniques in Intro to programming courses or books. There are Game Programming books out there too aimed at different skill levels which one might also consider, but if one is confident in their knowledge of a particular language and is an able non-game programmer, it might be worth one’s while to take a game programming class.
Reply:Hells yeah man, go for it by yourself. Programming classes never teach it at the right pace, and they don't always go into depth enough. Some stuff, like pointers, is pretty boring, but it's necessary to learn. Get through that sh-- and you'll start learning the cool stuff like networking, graphics, etc.
C++ and Java are where it's at. PHP is awesome for web programming, as is Ruby on Rails, so decide between those two (Java can also be used for web programming but it sucks).
Oh, and stay away from that Micro$oft sh--- (ASP and .NET). Trust me on that one.
Reply:I've learned alot about computers, through books for dummies, Lol,. Easy books to learn from step by step, and many have CD's with demo's, etc.....
But I prefer the class enviroment, because I can interact act with other students, and ask the teacher or other students questions if I get stumped, also instructors know what needs to be taught for a student to be proficient in programming, so a student doesn't have to spend alot of time in unnecessary subjects.

Can a first semester IT programming student be a computer operator?
Cause it seems like you don't need that much experience but I could be mistaken. Just looking for something with computers that I could do. Anyone know?
Can a first semester IT programming student be a computer operator?
Entry level computer operators are usually people new to the field and IT students are usually particularly well suited for the task - they have a vested interest.
Although the "computer operator" title is very much mainframe-centric. IT departments that employ UNIX, MS Win, Apple, Linux etc. as the computing platform to run their business applications most often do not refer to their admins as "computer operators".
BTW, mainframes are very much still in use only you'll probably have a hard time distinguishing some from other server hardware.
Reply:You could definitely be a computer operator; the question is whether you could be a good one. The entry level jobs for computers are operations and data entry. Data Entry is the easier of the two, but you could advance further from an operations job.
Reply:Hi
Well a COMPUTER OPERATOR , basically depends on the company you are working with at the moment , thats just a title wish can be use for a number of things. Now REGULAR computer operator usually is a person just working with either data entry or sometimes computer work related. Now a programmer is someone who learns how to RE-program other programs , program more code for an existing software or creates a software depending on the needs they ask him or her
Reply:Everyone who reads your question is operating a computer, so they're ALL qualified to be a 'computer operator'. So a first year IT student qualifies.
I don't know what job duties a 'computer operator' might have, but basically, look for jobs that use a computer in a way you already know how to do.
Data Entry as a job only requires typing skill.
Programming requires a lot more knowledge and experience.

What is the best computer program for making animated cartoons or southpark or jibjab styled shows and chips?
I want to know how to make short animated shows and clips and want to know what the best and easiest computer program is and how to use it.
What is the best computer program for making animated cartoons or southpark or jibjab styled shows and chips?
maya? for south park/ jib jab style? are you kidding? they're completely different forms of animation.
You want to be using something like Toon Boom (great for south park style lip and mouth syncing) or After Effects for sure. Flash is good too, but doesn't deal with bitmap images well (photos.)
I would recommend After Effects. It's prety easy to use, and give you a nice clean, jerky animation style.
Reply:Flash is the easiest, but is more limited. Alias Wavefront Maya is best for rigging the characters, but has a steep learning curve. Adobe After Effects is worth looking into- it's a versatile middle ground. It helps to know Photoshop or Illustrator to make the images you want to animate. Start with photoshop if you don't know it yet, then try the others.
Reply:It depends on your skills, maya is used by dreamworks in making shrek. However, if your skills are limited flash is a great program.
Reply:try animation master...it's powerful and it's easy to learn... just follow directions...for the basics

Excel Computer Programming Language?
I'm looking at graduate masters programs in statistics, and most mention you should have knowledge of a computer programming lanuage.
Now I know this is to be able to do research for the degree, I have some knowledge in Visual Basic, but I want to know if Excel would count as a computer language?
I ask becasue I am very profecient in Excel, and if I should list that or not.
Excel Computer Programming Language?
If you mean Microsoft Excel, the database program. Do not list it as a language, the program itself is already made and you just put in your own info which isnt programming at all.
Good luck to you on you degree man :) exciting stuff. Try possibly getting into HTML or something easy to add as a second programming language.
Reply:No. You can do some powerful things in Excel, but very few people would consider it a real programming language. Visual Basic is a programming language, but not a "serious" one. As long as you understand the basics (no pun intended), that's good enough to get started on learning other programming languages.
I wouldn't specifically list Visual Basic or Excel -- they're in relatively low regard in the programming/academic community. It'd be like saying, "I know how to take the standard deviation of a list of numbers" -- So what? Anyone can do that.
Now if you could say "I used the standard deviation to calculate this complex function" (or analogously, if you've done something non-trivial with VB that's stats-related), then maybe you could list it. Just VB on its own is not particularly impressive.
For statistics in particular, it'd be good to learn something like R or Matlab/Octave, since they're geared towards statistics.
Reply:Ecel is not programming language but it is part of office and a critical component to becoming microsoft certified....but has nothing to do with actual programming...as far as whether to include it as part of your experience, yes...but as far as using it for reference to programming, no.
Reply:you can automate all office stuff using c-sharp and visual basics maybe more
.
Reply:Excel is not a programming language, instead it is an application
Microsoft Excel is an application, that has the ability to perform [programmed routines] using the Visual basic inbed with it
So Excel is an application that comes with programming language to simplify its procedures
Instead Visual Basic for Application (Which is the programming language that comes with Excel) is a programming language.
So, If you know Excel charts, tools, functions, then you are an Ecel user.
If you know VBA of Excel, then you know a programming language.
Enjoy my profile, I am the VBAXLMan
Reply:Excel is a tool, not a language. If you count it as a language on your CV, most employers will laugh all the way to the trashcan, where they will proceed to drop your CV... However, if you simply say you are proficient in Excel, that shouldn't be a problem.
Imagine I apply for a job as a musician in an orchestra. I say "I am a percussionist, especially on the violin" - they laugh me out of the door. If I say "I am a percussionist, and also I play violin" they might actually listen to me. Bending the truth on a CV is one thing, but doing it in a way that proves you don't know what you are talking about is just foolish.
Reply:You should not list "Excel" as a programming language, because it isn't. However, you could list "Visual Basic" as a programming language, if you have skills in it.

Good luck to you on you degree man :) exciting stuff. Try possibly getting into HTML or something easy to add as a second programming language.
Reply:No. You can do some powerful things in Excel, but very few people would consider it a real programming language. Visual Basic is a programming language, but not a "serious" one. As long as you understand the basics (no pun intended), that's good enough to get started on learning other programming languages.
I wouldn't specifically list Visual Basic or Excel -- they're in relatively low regard in the programming/academic community. It'd be like saying, "I know how to take the standard deviation of a list of numbers" -- So what? Anyone can do that.
Now if you could say "I used the standard deviation to calculate this complex function" (or analogously, if you've done something non-trivial with VB that's stats-related), then maybe you could list it. Just VB on its own is not particularly impressive.
For statistics in particular, it'd be good to learn something like R or Matlab/Octave, since they're geared towards statistics.
Reply:Ecel is not programming language but it is part of office and a critical component to becoming microsoft certified....but has nothing to do with actual programming...as far as whether to include it as part of your experience, yes...but as far as using it for reference to programming, no.
Reply:you can automate all office stuff using c-sharp and visual basics maybe more
.
Reply:Excel is not a programming language, instead it is an application
Microsoft Excel is an application, that has the ability to perform [programmed routines] using the Visual basic inbed with it
So Excel is an application that comes with programming language to simplify its procedures
Instead Visual Basic for Application (Which is the programming language that comes with Excel) is a programming language.
So, If you know Excel charts, tools, functions, then you are an Ecel user.
If you know VBA of Excel, then you know a programming language.
Enjoy my profile, I am the VBAXLMan
Reply:Excel is a tool, not a language. If you count it as a language on your CV, most employers will laugh all the way to the trashcan, where they will proceed to drop your CV... However, if you simply say you are proficient in Excel, that shouldn't be a problem.
Imagine I apply for a job as a musician in an orchestra. I say "I am a percussionist, especially on the violin" - they laugh me out of the door. If I say "I am a percussionist, and also I play violin" they might actually listen to me. Bending the truth on a CV is one thing, but doing it in a way that proves you don't know what you are talking about is just foolish.
Reply:You should not list "Excel" as a programming language, because it isn't. However, you could list "Visual Basic" as a programming language, if you have skills in it.
How would i write a computer program that utilize a fractal program to demonstrate the growth of cancer cells?
I'm doing a science fair project on it and I've never written a computer program before. I have about 3 weeks to do it. Any help or suggestion will be appreciated
How would i write a computer program that utilize a fractal program to demonstrate the growth of cancer cells?
It takes a long time to learn how to program... and even longer to make a good program.

Does a computer program that solces a universal problem belong to the company or to the employee who wrote it?
Does a computer program that solves a universal problem belong to the company or tho the employee who wrote the program? Who do you believe the program should belong to: Why?
I have to write a report for school. I have to get the views from other people. I was assigned to get the views from Yahoo Answers. If want to help me out or just would like to get a few extra points I do appriciate your help and time.
Does a computer program that solces a universal problem belong to the company or to the employee who wrote it?
It would be nice if the program always belonged to the employee but in this world that isn't the case.
Here's reality:
All software is written in a special programming environment such as Microsoft Visual Studio for example. In all cases if the company provided the programming environment the software will always belong to the company even if the employee did not use a company computer and did not get paid for writing the software.
A few examples...
1) The employee used company equipment to write the software but wrote the software on unpaid time. The software belongs to the company because it was written using company equipment.
2) The employee used their own computer but was paid for writing the program. The software belongs to the company because the employee was compensated.
3) The employee used their own computer equipment and was not paid. The software belongs to the employee as long as they owned their own copy of the programming environment. "Their own copy" means they purchased a copy on their own and did not make a copy of the company provided programming environment.
Reply:Unless there are extenuating circumstances or your contract states otherwise, the courts view it as company property. You used their time and resources to solve their problem.
Reply:If someone was employed to make a program, or if the program was completed during a time where someone was paid to do work, then the company owns the software.

Why do programmers use submodules in computer programming to solve problems?
Programmers use sub-modules to decrease complexity and increase efficiency.
By breaking a problem up into several smaller problems, a programmer may focus on the smaller problems without getting bogged down by worrying about the big picture.
Because it deals with a specific portion of a program, a sub-module is usually simpler. Simpler problems usually result in faster solutions with less errors.
Furthermore, because a properly designed sub-module has fixed inputs and outputs and relies on local variables, multiple programmers may work on different portions of a program without the need to constantly communicate with each other.
Why do programmers use submodules in computer programming to solve problems?
using sub modules allows the programmer to organize his source code so that he can update or delete any part of the program easily. moreso, having sub modules would help the programmer minimize code typing if a certain process needs to be called many times
Reply:Organization and to reuse code routines...

1996 Volvo 850 GLT Idle and computer programming?
I have a 1996 Volvo 850 GLT and I wanted to ask if there was anyway to adjust the idle and also about how much does it cost to get the computer reprogrammed from a volvo shop?
1996 Volvo 850 GLT Idle and computer programming?
The idle should never have to be adjusted, if it is too high or too low, then there is some other problem, vacuum leak, idle air control (IAC)motor sticking or defective, throttle body coked up and needs cleaning, PCV system plugged.
Reprogramming computer?? Why?? The dealer usually gets around somewhere around $100-$150 to reprogram.

How do I put computer programs onto disc?
When I got my computer it came with Sonic Record Now. My boyfriends came with Nero. My Sonic Record Now is faster when copying discs and he wants the program instead of Nero , can I put it on disc to put on his computer.
How do I put computer programs onto disc?
Tell him to Download "Sonic" and u just give him the serial number (if any). Or say him to find any crsckd from the net for Sonic.
Neo
Reply:No you cannot copy a program onto a CD as there are loads of things in different places and in registry as well. If you got your computer brand new then sonic is on one of the CD's that came with it, but if you got it second hand then you know what came with it. If you bought the pc new but lost the CD then you maybe able to either get another CD from manufacturers giving your purchase details or some manufacturers allow you to download them from their site. Sonic record now can also be downloaded from some peer to peer programs like limewire etc. but be careful and ensure you have a good virus scanner installed on your pc.
Reply:save as data
Reply:Have him buy sonic record now. You can't really copy programs onto a disc frm scratch, tehre are too many files, not to mention the registry entries to make it work.
Reply:unless oyu got the origional disc for the programme you can't. OH, and its illegal. If you bought the computer new then you ought to have the discs somewhere.
You can also get these programmes illegally from certain p2p networks
Reply:No, you need an install.exe file.
There are probably registry files to be installed which would not copy with the programme.
Reply:Copying programs and installing them on other PC's is illegal, unless you have paid for each user licence, and I'm sure everyone else in UK Answers would frown on this sort of behaviour ;-)
Reply:if you have the install kit it is easy,but if you don't you can't just copy the program on the cd you need the install for the program so he can install it to
Reply:The reason your computer burns cd's faster is because your cd writer is faster than your boyfriend's, and has nothing to do with the software.
And to answer your question, Sonic Record Now is likely on a "re-installation" cd that came with your computer. The software may be found in a folder on the appropriate cd. Again you may not be able to find it. Computer manufacturer often make it extremely difficult to pirate software from re-installation cd's.
What you want to do is illegal, BTW.

In computer programming (java) when would you purposely use an infinite loop?
I was under the impression that an infinite loop was only an error, but i guess there are situations out there where an infinite loop can be applied. so ive heard.. what are instances in which one would use an infinite loop in their code?
In computer programming (java) when would you purposely use an infinite loop?
The two people above me took my answers. You might use infinite loops any time you're waiting for some action to occur. Such as (while x%26lt;0) {... do something until some action occurs that makes x%26gt;0 ...}. Such an action could be user input or a change in time.
Reply:If you were writing software that runs on a device, you would let it run for ever, or at least until it lost power.
I've used infinite loops, but they don't run infinitely. I break out of them on whatever condition applies to the situation.
Reply:shadow3Ds answer is most appropriate. When a server (Say an web server) listnes on a port you have to create an infinite loop. There's no other way u can listne on a port.
As for the wisdom "Writing programs with infinite loops isn't a good idea.........."
THATS the standard practice.
Reply:You can imagine that some software needs to be on all the time and monitoring things constantly, and it achieves this by using an psuedo infinite loop. One example is a server - it loops constantly so that it can handle each of the requests it gets and while it isn't getting any requests it just sits there waiting for them, prepared.
Reply:Writing programs with infinite loops isn't a good idea, but in a multi-threaded environment, you can write threads that act as services that have infinite loops.
For example, if you write an email client you may create a thread process that has an infinite loop which continually checks an email server every X seconds for new mail. The loop can be infinite because the thread that kicked off the process can also terminate it.

How do I backup my computer programs?
Is there a way to backup programs so that I can still run them if my computer fails? Programs that I have backed up before simply became read me files. I use Windows XP, and I want to backup my programs to an external hard drive so that if my local hard drive fails I can still run the programs I need.
How do I backup my computer programs?
If you downloaded the programs, just copy what you downloaded (usually a .zip, .msi or .exe file) to the external drive. If the computer fails, you'll have to install the programs, one at a time, on the new computer. You can't "back up" the installed version - it has to BE installed on the computer it's going to be running on.
You should also back up all the files you created - music files, documents, spreadsheets, etc.
Just copy the files on the internal hard drive and paste them to the external drive. You could make it easier with a program like Karen's Replicator (free for the download). http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptre... Download the replicator - you don't need the source code unless you write VB programs. Just make jobs for whatever folders you want backed up. It'll back up anything that's been changed or added in those folders.
Reply:To achieve this is not possible with the software available to home users. The only safe method is to use a form of backup/restore sofware such as Norton Ghost, Paragon Drive Image etc. This allows you to create a mirror image which you can then restore to another drive, being your primary drive.

How do I program my vehicle computer to be compatible with a different engine (no VIN # for new engine)?
2000 Olds van. Engine replaced with 1999. '99 engine does not have secondary air transfer sys. Computer programmed for that sys. Can't pass NYS inspect. New computer must have VIN# of '99 car (which is unavailable) in order to be programmed. What to do?
How do I program my vehicle computer to be compatible with a different engine (no VIN # for new engine)?
Sadly you cannot reprogram the PCM to accept the other engine. I'd suggest that you try to get the PCM from the 'donor' van that the engine came from. I suspect you'll have a problem here - since you don't have the vin for the donor van, I doubt you could get that van's PCM, right? However, you should get either a 1999 PCM or a 2000 engine with the 2ndary air system.
Reply:Trash the van, stop wasting your money, and get a van that does not give you those headaches. You cannot program those type computers.
Reply:WWEEELLLL---In California it would be a real mess too. But here we Do have one option, but even that isn't always a success.
Ask the test center if there is a State Referee that can make an inspection, and issue either a variance or adjudication concerning what has been done.
If not, then you are most likely going to have to go to the dealer, purchase a NEW PCM and have the dealer flash it for you.
You MIGHT also TRY a NAPA parts house and see if they can get a re-manufactured unit. Some stores have the ability to flash units they sell (but not all of them).
When asked about an engine transplant, I ALWAYS recommend that the owner contact the referee first, and find out what is acceptable, and get it in writing, for this very reason.
There is a lot of money invested, not to mention the time involved in the project.
And NOW you find out that you can't smog it, therefore can't license it, therefore can't drive it, but you do have to continue to pay for it.
BUMMMMER!

Is there a free computer program that can remind me to do things? I'm on the pill always forget to take it at the right time, and it's frustrating.

Easy Computer Programming Project?
I am currently taking Computer Programming II this semester and for a final project I have to create a game or program with either VB.net, Alice 2.0, or Scratch. Anyone have an idea of an easy game I could make? For example, my friend is making a Hangman program using VB.
Any suggestions would be nice, and this is my senior year, so I'd like to make it as easy as possible :)
Easy Computer Programming Project?
As you senior project, I would make it somehwhat more ambitious if your eyes are on college. These can carry weight on your application letters.
How about recreating one of the early PC games like Hammurabi? http://www.stibbe.net/History/Games_Spee...
Or if you're into graphics, a checkers game.
Reply:TicTacToe is too easy...you should try checkers, the problem of whether a move is legal or not is much more interesting. Othello, might also be fun.
Reply:Mastermind, should be pretty easy
Reply:I remember back when I took a BASIC class in 1987 on the old APPLE ][s, I made a slot machine. It used the low-res graphics capable on the machine, so looked really clunky, but ended up being the best project in the class.
Reply:Or else you may contact a VB.NET expert live at website like http://askexpert.info/ .
Reply:An easy game would be TicTacToe. You could also do a "find the ball" or a "guess the number: hot and cold" type game.
Well, you did say easy as possible. I guess you could do a "true/false" game. :P
%26lt;%26lt; "1 + 1 = 3 ; True or False?"
%26gt;%26gt; T
%26lt;%26lt; "YOU LOSE!"
However I agree with the poster below me. Try to have fun with this project as it will reflect upon your programming career.

What are the different data types in computer programming?
Different programming languages have different data types.
Some commonly used data types which are also present in Visual Basic are:
Byte
Single
Double
Integer
String
Boolean
Currency
Variant
Further more, some languages also allow you to create custom data types.
What are the different data types in computer programming?
There are basically 5 data types, they are "int" (integer) "float" (decimals, includes double) "Boolean" (logical i.e. True or false) "char" (characters), and "byte" (near machine language).
But over the years, many different companies have made different types, like Borland which has int, char, boolean, double, and byte, while Sun Microsystems has int. char, string, boolean. double, byte. But remember the basics. Since the programming languages have started basically out the same.
Reply:Er, I don't mean to be rude, but......if you have to ask that question then you definitely need to buy a book on whatever program language that you're using.
Data types are, for the most part, related to the data size. There are type modifiers such as signed and unsigned numbers, which help the compiler determine how numbers are to be calculated.
Reply:somewhat depends on the language. Here are a few common ones:
integer, string, double, long, short, boolean
Reply:The fundamental basic data types of most programming language are:
1. Characters
2.1 Numbers (Intetegers)
2.2 Floating Point Numbers (Real Numbers)
Many derived data types are available there and depends on the language what you are using to programme.
Reply:They are classified into built in type and user defined type
Built in type also known as primary data type are
integer, char, float, double, array,Boolean
user defined type are
structure, union, enumerated
How to declare this data types and there size and memory allocation depends from language to language.
Reply:It entirely depends on the language you are using.
In essence you have chars, floats, and integers. Strings are usually some implementation of char arrays or lists. Pointers are often fundamental to a language, but would usually be stored as integers.
All other more complex data structures are made with combinations of the above.

What is the best computer program to create a Class Reunion Memory Book?
I want to include pictures, answers from a "what have you been up to" questionnaire and contact information. That's pretty much it, but I'd like it to look nice and in full color as well as spiral bound, etc. What computer program would be best?
What is the best computer program to create a Class Reunion Memory Book?
Adobe, definitely. Or, ask the people at Kinko's what most of their customers use.
While I'm giving advice:
The single most important thing you can do to insure a good time is talk to the DJ before hand. The people who never left town and see each other every week at PTA, soccer practice, poker night etc. are going to want to dance. The ones who did leave town and flew 1,500 miles to attend are going to want to talk, and they are not going to want to shout over the music.
The ideal solution, if you can afford it, is to hire two rooms. Unless you are from Beverly Hills High, you won't be able to do that. Having the music "on" for 30 minutes, then off for 30 would be a reasonable compromise. Promise the DJ the same amount of money as if he played all night. Impress upon him the desire of half the audience to talk. Reunions are not the same as dances or concerts. People (some people) want quiet time, to talk. Keep hammering that home to the DJ. If necessary, tattoo it on his forehead backwards and give him a mirror. Appoint a "Quiet time" monitor.
I hear "It was a nice reunion, but the DJ ruined it" a dozen times a year from friends and family.

I want to connect my computer to my hdtv and output downloaded hd programming to it. How can I do this?
I have a new hdtv with plenty of inputs. I am not sure of the hardware/software needed to connect to it and output it in hd. Also is there any providers of hd programming via the internet? Thanks for the help.
I want to connect my computer to my hdtv and output downloaded hd programming to it. How can I do this?
If your hdtv has HDMI input then you can get a video card with HDMI output.
Most good video cards on the market right now can output to HDMI, although some require a special adapter.

Can someone help me with computer programing?
I want to learn how to write computer programs for a hobby. My uncle works with computers all the time at work, and he tells me that there are websites out there that will help get me started. Heck one of them even my very young cousin (less than ten years old) can do. Does anyone know where I may find them?
Can someone help me with computer programing?
Depends on the language you want to learn. Web programming isn't terribly hard, so you might try that first:
http://www.w3schools.com
That site has TONS of free web programming tutorials.
If you're looking for a little bit deeper of a language, Java is kind of up-and-coming and is relatively user-friendly (although, be forewarned, it is a HUGE language with lots of features and stuff to learn:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
Reply:I probably recommend this once every day... but here goes again:
You can get free IDEs from Microsoft for C#, VB.net or C++. Look for the Visual Studio Express editions. Also, more info than you'll ever need:
http://msdn.microsoft.com
Reply:If you have a specific language you want to learn, there are sites for specific languages, such as Visual BASIC, C++ or Java. One excellent site is Planet Source Code, which has source code samples in multiple languages. You will need to have the language's Integrated Development Environment (IDE) installed on your computer in order to run the samples though.

Computer program that can graph equations like a calculator?
I'm looking for a computer program that can graph equations like a calculator. It should be able to perform the graphing features found in the TI-82 or above line. I need to print out some graphs, and I'm accustomed to the TI-82+ line of calculators.
Computer program that can graph equations like a calculator?
Here arewebsites that offer an online graphics calculator:

How to construct the code (computer program) in Turbo C for a word game?
How can I make a computer program (code) in C for a guessing game? The program is similar to Hangaroo, where the player tries to guess a predefined word given a certain clue like definition etc.. Three wrong letters end his chance to find the word.

What is the best computer I can get for programming under 900 dollars.?
I am goping to major in software/computer engineering next year and I have a 900 dollar limit on qvc's website but i just need a general yet specific veiw of what computer to get.
What is the best computer I can get for programming under 900 dollars.?
Most colleges and universities have an aversion to Microsoft products, so unless you're planning on developing on the side with Visual Studio .NET, I would look for a system that is either a Mac, or supports Linux. For a Mac programming system, I doubt you'll be able to get anything decent for under $900. For a Linux box, make sure it has at least 2GB of ram and a decent HD, like around 160GB. You may need to make sure that whatever distribution of Linux you ge supports the printer you want also.
If you want a Windows Laptop for developement, a decent one will run around $1500. You can find Desktops for around $800-900. These would come with a minimum of 2GB of ram and 160GB HD. The laptop I use is a Gateway NX960XL. It has a widescreen 15.4" LCD. My Desktop is a Dell.

build your own. u will appreciate it more and it is pretty easy
u can build a quad core amd phenom with 4 - 8 gbs ram,couple 500 gig hard drives and a nice graphic card for 900.00 and problly have money left over
i just built a
amd dual core 4200+
4 gbs ddr2
nvidia 7600gt
2x320 gb hd
pci wireless card
tv tuner
2 cd/dvd combos
for about 450.00
the only thin i forgot but gonna add is
card reader/firewire
u can also check out
http://www.microcenter.com/search/search...
ok, i kinda read question wrong...you are buying off of qvc's site. ok..u will still want a
dual core processor
atleast 2 gbs ram
the bigger the hard drive the better
u can always install a better graphic cards for about 100.00
for a nice 1
Reply:I just built a dual core AMD 4800 with 2 gig of ram for about 300 bucks. I program in v6 up to vb.net 2008 and c#. works great.
