I've been trying to continue to learn about computer science and software in general through free online classes, but a lot of them are just taught by really dull professors. Which open courseware class have you found to be the most interesting and informative for a software engineer? Note there is a list of colleges offering free onli...
My group and I are about to start our senior design project in a few weeks. Because we are all on summer vacation, we haven't gotten to sit down together and seriously discuss any ideas, but it also seems to me that no one in the group has a solid idea of what they want to do. Personally, I'm up for any project involving coding because ...
The interrupt service routine (ISR) for a device transfers 4 bytes of data from the device on each device interrupt. On each interrupt, the ISR executes 90 instructions with each instruction taking 2 clock cycles to execute. The CPU takes 20 clock cycles to respond to an interrupt request before the ISR starts to execute instructions. Ca...
I'm currently taking a math class in College called "Scientific Computing" and the professor told us that C is the most common language used for, well, scientific computing and am just wondering as to how accurate this professor is? ...
I'm going to be finishing up High School this year and moving onto either University or College. However, after looking at some course lists, I'm perplexed - what types of courses (or which category [such as computing science]) do I need to start looking at in terms of enrollment? My goal is to ultimately have a career developing websit...
I'm 18 years old and going to community college. I got an A+ in my data structures class, but the biggest thing I've ever programmed on my own was a tool to solve a 3d maze toy of my brother's. I'm a little worried that I don't have enough passion for programming to succeed in it. Majoring in math would give me time to try out open so...
I'm currently 19 and studying Bachelor of IT. Like any programmer I spend a lot of time pursuing pet projects. Some of them are based around promising ideas, some are just because I want to try them. Many projects end up on hold as more important things come up, or I come up with a better idea, and I feel a little guilty for pursuing it...
I am currently in my senior year at the Citadel, and I am a computer Science Major with a Management Information Systems Minor(totally useless, here atleast!) I have recently put together my resume, and would like to start getting it out and about. Unfortunately I go to school 3000 miles away from my hometown where I will be moving when ...
Hello I'm looking for a project for my 4th year at the Informatics Faculty in Damascus University. In my college we have to make a project on each year in the last three years (we study informatics for 5 years in college). My project on the last year was: XMPP Java Implementation. In this year we need to make a more complicated proje...
I just finished my first year in college and I'm currently looking for an internship opportunity. I just went through our college's archive of job postings from last 3 months and this is what I found out about what employers are currently looking for in the technical side: J2EE Scripting languages (perl/python) SQL - usually any flavor,...
I have just recently graduated college with a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science and have joined the other millions in search for a job. I have took up, Assembly, Java and Scheme in college and have taught myself, PHP, HTML, CSS, Android and JavaScript on the side. My part-time job right now, I serve as a part-time web designer an...
I have a class called Senior Design next semester and we are looking for fun or interesting ideas that anyone might have for an embedded project. We will have Electrical Engineers, Computer Sciene, and Software Engineering majors working on this. All suggestions are welcome. Some ideas we are thinking about now are: Software Define...
Hey guys, This semester I started a programming club at my university since we did not have an existing similar group with the idea that it would be a place to hang out for computer science majors and partake in activities such as lectures on interesting topics, social events and group projects. However as this is the first semester st...
I'm quite curious about your experience learning html, css, php, js web standards etc. Did you consider learning them in college or institutes or you think it's absolutely unnecessary (learning from StackOverFlow is way better?)? I'm asking this because I'm taking some Web design courses at my university and the teacher still uses frame...
Currently I have an Associates degree in computers. I also have about 10 years experience (which comes to about 6-8 once companies "convert" an AAS into a BS). I'm thinking on going back for my Bachelor's Degree. Locally I have a pretty good school that offers both general studies (or business) degrees, and also a pretty good IT depar...
I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Computer Science at NYU. Job postings almost always call for a B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science (or at least recommend it). For example, Google claims to require at least a B.S. to be eligible for one of its Software Engineering jobs. I feel like the B.S./B.A. distinction is an arbitra...
So I'm teaching a 2nd semester freshman level C++ course at a university in an upcoming semester. The students have used arrays (though only statically allocated) and have some notion of references and pointers (but probably not much). In general, they have not done a whole lot of dealing with dynamic memory allocation and management. I...
I've got a system that allows classroom instructors and graders to log in and manage classes and grade papers. A user can be both an instructor and a grader, and can be so for particular semesters. Other users, like students, are also bound to this semester scheme. Still others, like administrators, have accounts that don't run by semest...
I'm trying to create an auto-complete text field with a list of known Universities and Colleges. Do you know where I can get this sort of list? Or is there a public API that contains this data? ...
I am applying to graduate schools for a M.S. in computer security, information assurance, cybersecurity, etc. (they all have different titles). I figure a good place to find schools for this is on the NSA's Centers for Academic Excellence list. I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience at these or any other programs, an...
