<p>@Jnelsonmarka I am really sorry to hear about your poor experience with CS at your school.I just hope you don’t jump majors because of this. I think I can provide some help, even though your semester has ended.</p>
<p>1) CS people tend to be either too arrogant or too timid. You maybe the second one, in which case don’t worry, they tend to prosper more in the long run. Arrogance leads you to jail ( I am of the arrogant type :P).</p>
<p>2) It’s easy for CS people to be baseless liars. If anyone says that he has done C# or any lower level language/ HLL( except Basic) but cannot pick up Java, he is off his knocker. </p>
<p>3) Here are some sites that can help you with programming. I admit coding is a integral part of learning to code. But your objective is to be a Good Informatics Science guy. So theory is of equal, I repeat EQUAL importance, because with it, you can learn more than a self taught programmer. </p>
<p>For Programming : [thenewboston</a> - YouTube](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/user/thenewboston]thenewboston”>thenewboston - YouTube)
Bucky is probably the best out there in YT. Learn the basics from him and then read some API docs to improve on the basics. He even has VB tuts. </p>
<p>For Theory : Any book on JAVA (head first for eg) you can pick up, pick it up. Then ask queries on the net on coding or theory. Really helps to have a community support. </p>
<p>For Queries : [Stack</a> Overflow](<a href=“http://www.stackoverflow.com%5DStack”>http://www.stackoverflow.com)
Simply, THE BEST.</p>
<p>Good Luck! :)</p>
