In order to pursue a degree in programming, do you think it is essential for me to take Calculus?

What about if you're planning to apply for a college and pursue a computer programming career? Would Calculus be a better class on the application than math studies?

Calculus will probably be required (I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was.
Reply:Most universities, for computer science or programming applicants, will want you to have taken as much math, to as high a level as can while in high school. So a big "yes" to the calculus. In addition, they'll require you to take calc in college, so if you take it in high school, that class will be far easier for you.


What special education programs in San Antonio ,Texas, can help me get my high school diploma?

I just need a really good program that can help me get a high school diploma. I haven't been going to school cause regular school doesn't really work with me that well. I would really appreciate it if you can give me a list or something that can help me find special education programs in SA.

What special education programs in San Antonio ,Texas, can help me get my high school diploma?
Get an IEP (individual educational plan) through your Sp. Ed. dept. and an ARD (attention review and dismissal). Then, go to AACOG (Alamo area Council of Governments) or DAR for more help and the SP. Ed. dept. will give you a number if you don't have one. AACOG is located on Tesoro. They will even hook you up with DARS. http://www.aacog.com/default.asp





Don't let anyone tell you otherwise...an IEP (individual educational plan) is just as good as a "regular" diploma. Some kids are gifted, some are emotional and quite honestly most today are "at risk" for dropping out, so they need an IEP. Even smart kids (the gifted) are not honors, but they are a heck of a lot smarter than honors, their brains just work a bit different. Lots of skater kids are usually gifted. Lots of doctors and teachers' kids are usually gifted also. It's the combination of creativity and intelligence that usually causes a kid to be autistic or an indigo child.





In my opinion, kids with Sp. Ed. needs are really luckier than the regular kids because they have special priviledges and more government money is spent to help them succeed. Most counselors avoid this knowing that the government money has to go to these kids first, so they try to talk parents and students out of being in these programs.





Oh and thanks Doc...that was nice of you to mention me... just let me know if there are any other questions more specific to your needs. I have a gifted child and a indigo child and I have been teaching these kids since 1980 off and on. TAhere is a special place in my heart for kids. I like the Sp.Ed ones the most because they are truly the nices and most respectful. The regular ones make me sometimes want to just pull out my hair, but they will learn to eventually that everyone is needed in our world.
Reply:Go into basic training down in San Antonio! That'll help pay for college!
Reply:i think you need to call your local school district and ask what programs are out there everyone is different and they might be able to help you good luck
Reply:The first responder is obviously ignorant of the meaning of special education. There are many students who have need of special education who can meet and exceed the educational requirements, but need special teaching methods or assistance. Keep working for your goals.





The best person on this site to advise you would be Lalana, hopefully she will see this question.





EDIT: Lalana, I knew you would have all the latest. My son had additional assistance as he was ADD and it caused some difficulties at first, next thing we knew he was on both the gifted and talented and special ed lists and we had trouble getting him out of the additional assistance. The schools in both Northside and North East were very helpful with him.
Reply:generally speaking, a special education diploma is not equivelent to a "real" high school diploma, and is often not recognized by employers and colleges. it's a pointless endeavour.

You could download me :D


or you could try my sources, I didn't look at them in much detail but they seem like they will be of some use.
Reply:Ikea has a nice one you can put your own room size, windows doors etc. They have their cabinets in the program, but you can find similar ones anywhere. It's a good program, just go to www.ikea.com and download it from there. You can print out what it'll look like in 3-D. Pretty cool!
Reply:if you want to do that much work the program is called 20/20 but it is quite expensive. you need it for your cabinets. if live in chicago area contact me piotr102@yahoo.com
Reply:https://www.bestbuy.com Has a nice interactive program that allows you to choose cabinets, countertops, and appliances. It also allows you to create a shopping list for appliances as you create the kitchen. http://www.hgtv.com or http://www.diynet.com are good as well.

Why is solving a system of linear equations a necessary skill for linear programming?

Why is solving a system of linear equations a necessary skill for linear programming?





Explain.

Why is solving a system of linear equations a necessary skill for linear programming?
Because that is what linear programming is all about...solving a system of linear equations.
Reply:Because you need to use this skill to find the coordinates of vertexes, where the maximum or the minimum value of the objective function can be found.
Reply:Solving the system of linear equations for x and y will give you the amount of each item you will need to maximize cost, productivity, etc..


How can a 16 year old make money with programming?

I am good at java programming. Is there any part time job I can do with this? I want to complete my school and college. Will programming affect this?

How can a 16 year old make money with programming?
Call up some local software companies and just tell them your situation and ask if you can do any work for them. I did this at 15 and ended up getting into the software industry. Just make sure you finish school as well.





You may not end up getting great programming assignments at first, but you'll earn some money and get some experience. Good luck!
Reply:The best option for me (I have done it since 14) is through doing it freelance.





If you use a site like scriptlance (scriptlance.com) or getafreelancer.com, you can register and place bids for work. They pick who they want based on how much you are charging, what you can do and what you have done.





I hope this helps!


What is a good programming language for screensavers?

I know screensavers are useless by now. However, I'd like to program them as a hobby. I am aware of several languages having bought "Programming for Dummies". I'm a beginner in programming.


Serious answers only please.


Thank you.

What is a good programming language for screensavers?
If you are on MacOS, try the Quartz Composer, which is included with Mac OS X. Simply do a spotlight search for QUARTZ and find Quartz Composer.





If you are on Windows, I agree, get Visual Basic.
Reply:opengl or directx
Reply:Start with Visual Basic. Any language you pick will have to have the ability to create executable files, and anything in the visual series does. Basic is the easiest language for humans to read, since it doesn't rely on special symbols for syntax/command items.





If you find that performance is an issue with one written in Visual Basic, convert it to C. The programming structure is nearly identical between the two langauages, just the syntax is different.


How to find what kind of programming language is used for a software application?

We have many software applications which is used for different purposes.I want to know what kind of programming language is used to design them.Is there any simple way to know it?

How to find what kind of programming language is used for a software application?
You do it by analyzing executable (.exe) files that make up the application. A quick look at their binary data usually gives out some clues.


Typically those are error messages, text strings and other signatures specific to a compiler that has been used to create .exe files.





For example, the presense of "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" reveals the use of MS Visual C++.





"SOFTWARE\Borland\Delphi\RTL" reveals the use of Delphi.





If the application consists of .jar files, it is Java of course.





Other things to look at are .DLL files bundled with the application. For example, presense of msvcr71.dll tells that it's been MSVC 7.X.


Visual Basic libraries like MSVBVM50.DLL reveal Visual Basic.





If it's not obvious, application can be loaded into disassembler. Good disassemblers normally identify the orginal language and version of compiler automatically, so will anybody with at least some reverse engineering skills.





Hope this helps.
