    4-year Computer science (HONS) sandwich course at University of Teesside UK I concentrated on hardware units in my final year. Before that I was completely self taught - actually I probably am still self taught :laugh: Roger Allen - Sonork 100.10016 Strong Sad: Clever I am? Next to no one. Undiscovered and soggy. Look up. Look down. They're around. Probably laughing. Still, bright, watery. Listed among the top. Ten. Nine. Late night. Early morn. Early mourn. Now I sleep.

      Hi this question primary applies to professional software engineers and to those who want to become one Where did you study and what subjects did you study? I want to know that because i also want to become a software engineer / software architect and don't know any good university thanks, your information will really help me deciding about my future

          If the pastrami and bologna are not aligned on even bytes, indigestion can ensue, resulting in too much time driving the porcelain bus, and ultimately not being able to code for the remainder of the day. How's that?

            I think I get it. I guess I've been blessed with a strong stomach, so with an exception of too much bacon on my pizza, I manage to avoid undue queasiness. BW CP Member Homepages

I "know" C++, but can I sit down at the computer and compose a Windows program? Not a chance. It's not a hard language, but I need a handful of reference books and hours of trial and error programming to get one to work. When I did it for a living, programming was easy; so, for that matter, was electronics design. I had half a dozen languages I used regularly and several hundred electronic components I was intimately familiar with. Even a mediocre school will give him access to information, whether they teach it properly or not. It's up to the student to make the effort to become excellent, and that can be done almost anywhere. I've felt much better since I gave up hope.
