Question (maybe obvius)

[manu43]

I know it s a long time without posting here.I ve been busy,it s my last year in school and I have too study hard some subjets I dont like.So I have to choose now what to study for the next 5 years.I m thinking about informatic engineering ,I like computers and their stuff (not only games),electronics,software (cheats 8D),hardware.....has anyone studied this?What about it?Would I have enough knowledge to make cheats and other things for this amazing community :laugh: ?
Thank you very much

If you are a computer engineer, you might learn enough about coding to understand how cheats work. However, you will still need to learn more to make your own cheats. I am not sure what an "informatic" engineer is....

Ok,thank you very much.I think I ll study that.I have to choose in the next 3 months and I ll would start the studies on October.If I finally do that,i will tell you how was it 8)

A Computer Science degree is always a good way to go if you want to be a programmer (and code some l33t cheats). Very flexible too, you learn how to program in ASM in the 2nd year ;)

ok,thank you very,very much.I was doubting but I think I got my doubts cleared.I promise to bring here my first cheat when I finally learn to program one 8D

I am still debating between Electric Engineer and Computer Science, I still dont know.

Informatic, would that be IT? Information Technologies?

Some links I found for CompSci vs InfoSys/Engineering:

http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/programs/undergraduate/cmpeng.php
http://cs.nku.edu/whichdegree.html

I may be slightly biased cause im a first year CompSci student but CompSci is an in depth degree where you will learn so much more than someone doing InfoSys or whatever else.

ComputerScience: "Graduates typically become software designers (not just programmers) or go to graduate school."

InfoSys: "Graduates typically become network administrators, webmasters, security technicians, etc."


Because of the substantial overlap between the two careers, at the workplace you are likely to find computing scientists and computer engineers working side by side. However, while it is unlikely that a computing science graduate will be able to engage on the design of the physical layers of a computer system without major retraining, it is also unlikely that computer engineer students will be successful on the design and implementation of major information management systems or commercial and industrial software applications without an equally substantial amount of training.

A lot of hardcore comp. engineers go on to write drivers or embedded programs.

I'm leaning towars a CompSci degree.... probably cause I'm a CompSci student..... it's just that there is alot more work possibilities writing applications and games rather than just drivers or embedded programs. Plus I find that CompSci goes into more depth when covering ASM and other low level languages (granted ASM is probably the lowest level of programming anyone will need 95+% of the time)

I think here in Spain we dont have Computer Science,there s only informatic engineer.Lol,I was checking the english version of the nearest univeristy they call it Computer engineer,not Computer science or Informatic engineer.Here are some subjets computability ,operating sistems,industrial computing,networks,architecture and computer technology,software engineering...
Thanks for answering

I was thinking of computer engineering for my career, but I decided to major in bioengineering instead. I just can't imagine myself programming for drivers and stuff everyday for the rest of my life. Props to you people who choose that life.

[luck777jojo]

that's why compsci is more fun.... you actually get to make working applications and see them work, rather than do something which you don't see work directly (though the low level stuff gets you more money if you do it well)

I would like to be a infosys from the reviews i read, sounds pretty interesting

[zer0infinite]

i accually needed this answered also.. thanx guys

[ApeXX]

I am also looking for a job in this career field, anyone else had any experience / words to the wise?

[NINJAGAIDEN]

just take a programming class, you'll learn all you need, lets say you want to learn about c++, you'll learn all the basics and advanced. it's very easy just gotta love what you're doing and you'll learn very fast.
