In this thread, you recommend basic computer programming books.

this one comes to mind

Well, it's kinda what I'm looking for. I really don't want to get into anything involving the internet, web services, audio/visual, et cetera. Like, this is a book on C#... but I don't know what C# actually is, nor C*, C+ or C++, lol. For example, I know that C is an inperative language... (and that's about all I know about C...) and I'm trying to focus on learning about what imperative languages are, as well as functional and logical programming languages, and how they relate, differ and are applied to CS.

i like that dude on late night tele commercials...he wears the suits with all the question marks

 

[samoth]

what programming studio do you have Samoth? Or do you have any?

I honestly don't know what a programming studio is.

My level of knowledge includes HTML and basic MatLab and Maple. I also know the Ti-200 Voyager, and have 10 years of experience in programming Ti-86's.

So... umm... my computer and programming knowledge is analogous to that of an intelligent rock.

C# is just a little bit different syntax than C (doesnt deal with web apps)
C+ and C++ and C# are just different flavors of the base language C

lol

i think i get at what you are saying. Programming is such a WIDE topic, there are so many different languages and what services they are used for.

Ill take a look at the course offerings for Computer Science at my university, i think there were a couple classes that covered what you are needing.

I really don't know dick about programming.

Just wanted to be in a thread with smart peeps.

This is a decent website where you can get some language specific information, tutorials, and examples on web programming without purchasing a book.
