  1. If you want to get into programming, you could build your own apps for Android or ios. There are plenty of free tutorials out there to get you started. This will get your feet wet in code, and maybe make some money if an app becomes popular. Coding is not the only IT Avenue. There is also the infrastructure side,setting up networks and servers. Solving business problems with technology. You can get started in this fairly easy by getting your comptia a+ certification and find a user support job. Like the geek squad. better yet, in house support for a company or a call center. Then you will start gaining experience. There is plenty of room for people with certifications. Not in programming as much. But with certs and start getting successful projects under your belt, you can go a long way. Interviewers want to hear what the problem was, what you did to resolve it and what the outcome was. Quantifying your improvements into something that is a positive outcome is huge. The business world is all about boasting your accomplishments in a professional manner in my opinion.
  2. How much do you need to code, Bootstrap is a responsive web design framework.
  3. Yeah, it is running a Apache Tomcat. Tomcat takes the request and calls the servlet. I am using http://code.aksingh.net/owm-japis/src java package to get the weather from OpenWeatherMaps.
  4. I know a lot of people around here want to learn to program. Well, I wanted/still want to learn and am going to share what I have done so far.... http://thedami.co/TD/weather It is not much, and honestly the code is underwhelming, BUT I made it, and I focused on Java for 2 months to make it. I will make something better, This was just a proof of concept I made for a friend. How I learned: youtube thenewboston and mybringback java vids The Java Tutorials from Oracle Java for Dummies FREE ebook Whatch JavaBrain on youtube to focus on web development with java(or you can find countless Java game tutorials) Googleing what I wanted. I spent 2 months learning java, all this work if to get a A in my Intro to Java class at the community college I am going to, but all the resources are free!!!!!!! The only thing my colege did for me was force me to study Java for 2 months so far. I am pushing hard to learn more. I am working on .jsp pages and am starting to work with some frameworks, but really all I did was spend the time doing it. TL:DR focus for a few months on Java! I decreased my video game playing time down tremendously to use that time playing with Java.
  5. Don't be a dumbass and think you will learn it over night. Its takes time. Also, YOU WILL NEVER LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT C++ PROGRAMMING! You need to learn how to learn what you need when you need to learn it. Think Just In Time(JIT). Start with the basics: Spend a few months learning and writing anything you want. Have fun with it, make a simple program. Like a PC part picker calculator, something that interests you. If you like girls, do what Bill Gates did and make a app that track what girls are in what classes so you can figure out what classes to take. That is from bill gates himself in a code.org video. Next, learn about a framework like: http://oxygine.org http://oxygine.org/doc/api/classes.html Don't jump right into that, if you can't understand the difference between a instance variable to a class variable(just an example) you won't understand a framework. Dedicate time everyday, or most days to learning something about programming. I was in the same boat as you, I wanted to learn how to program. Now I am not an expert, I am not a CS student, but I am about to finish a intro to Java course and I am feeling confident I can run a website with Java on the Server side. After pounding Java in my head for 2 months, using youtube, the java tutorials(official and non official) and a free Java for Dummies book that is online, I feel I can make some pretty cool apps, maybe not a game, but If I wanted to I probably could. Logic is a whole different thing from programming. The thing about programming a game is you need to make up the game logic. If player is hit/ if player blocked/ if player is in position xyz/ if player has certain ability/ if player currenthealth - hit< 0//// That is logic, thats is were a game can becoime tricky. If you dedicate yourself to learning, you can do it. Like I said, I am in a Java class, I'm 30, two kids and a wife. I am taking the class online. Before the class, I would watch a few videos, write a small console calculator and then be done. All the class did for me was get me to focus longer and had me read Oracles website on learning java. So far it worked! Although this is super simple, I made a app for drunks... while drinking! http://thedami.co/TD/weather That tells you if its the right temperature to leave your beer outside. It only works for the area I live in, but to make it local to anyone, I just need to google "how to get browser location"......... and I found it http://viralpatel.net/blogs/html5-geolocation-api-tutorial-example/ Look at that, my app will be updateded.!!!! tldr Dedicate yourself, learn the basics then search for specifics, you will not learn everything, but you can learn what you need when you need it.
  6. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/255169-java-question/?p=3496366 I posted on your other post. 1st: Make a method that is called in the constructor! 2nd: Pay eff'n attention in class, not everything is given to you, you need to earn most of it.
  7. Thanks for the links! I like the pricing, do you thinks itss safe to buy a cpu from ebay?
  8. 2700 out of my price range Isn't 2500k < 3570K?
  9. I am stuck to the 1155 socket. So i can't get the 46** series sorry for double post, something messed up, didn't even notice the last post.
  10. ahh yeah, not as simple as calculating pizzas. :\ sorry. Good luck.
  11. I am looking to upgrade my CPU around xmas and would like some help. Budget: $200 - 250ish US Current Rig: CPU: Core i3 2150 Mobo: Msi z68a-GD55 Ram: 8gb --1600Mhz GPU: GTX 760 OS: Windows 7 cpu cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO Power Supply: XFX 750w Disk drive: 120gb ssd, upgrading to 240 soon. Monitor: 1 now, would like to upgrade to 2. As you can see I am lacking at the CPU, not to bad though, only Arma3 gave me and real issues. But it is time to upgrade. Use: Moderate gaming School and work So here is my thoughts: I could upgrade just the CPU to the 3570K. Or I could swap out my mobo to a ASUS M5A97 R2.0 LE or better and put a AMD 8350. If I switch to AMD, I maybe able to sell my current mobo, cpu and old gpu for a little bit and help me either get more/faster ram or a better mobo. For some reason I have an itch to switch(busta rhyme) to AMD. Any thoughts?

  13. There are a lot of great tutorial youtubers. MyBringBack has a good series to! I will watch a few different ones to see how it can be done in different ways. https://www.youtube.com/user/mybringback
  14. Maybe a while loop where you you increase the amount of 16 tiles until it == or > the original length. Not sure if this is bet practice since there will be loops inside loops for each smaller tile. But it may work. int total = 375; int sixteenTiles=0; while(total <= sixteenTiles){ sixteenTiles++; } That could start it, but you would need to start another loops once you know how many feet are leeft over. I have done something similiar with a program that calculates how many pizzas a group of people need based off people and amountperperson, that was the method I used.
  15. I think what he means is the constructor will set the field using a random number generator and a method. Edit: You will need a getter to grab the total after or make the field public(not recommended)
