Hello, let me introduce myself for this is my first post, I am a 3rd year Computer Science student this coming June 7, 2010 (South East Asia, Philippines). My goal is to be a Software Engineer. I'm no longer a newbie in programming but still far from expert.
Things that I have learned (School & self study):
School -
Fundamentals of Programming 1 (Basic syntax) - using JAVA
Fundamentals of Programming 2 (More on problem solving) - using JAVA
Data Structure
Logic Circuit
Self study -
Object Oriented Programming - JAVA (Studied in advance even though this is a 3rd year subject in our prospectus)
So, on with the topic, just wanted to ask if I am in the right track. I'm also curios about what programming language should I choose, maybe because lots of software engineers (or mostly) uses a certain type of programming language, like C++ or some faster languages than JAVA (what I started to learn).
I am also interested to developing games, I just need to know what are the first step to become a game developer and the risk of it, or maybe I should stick to Software Engineering, so, which will you prefer best?
Thank you.
