Note: I know this is not related to conquer which why i will request to close this in 1,2 days, i just like to get some advice from someone of you since i know there is few nice Programmers here and i would be thankful if you give me a advice about this.

2 days ago i got approved to college and i found out my college have few programming classes and i was wondering if you guys can help me make my mind XD

Its first time me going college for programming and i know that "every language is good and i should choice the one i like" and the thing is i like the ones they are offering but not sure which one to start with.

Like you said... these threads really aren't allowed. You're asking us to choose your college classes for you? That doesn't sound wise at all. You need to sit down with an academic counselor and find out what classes you need to complete your major and graduate (or transfer if you're at a community college).

Alright... well, you're going to Los Angeles City College. I can tell by the names of the classes and the way they're organized. I'm assuming that since you're in this section, you're interested in Computer Science, and that your university of choice is UCI. To transfer, you'll need CO SCI 140 and 141 (for Introduction to Computer Science), CO SCI 136 and 141 (for Introduction to Computer Science II), MATH 270 and 272, and the general education courses (which you should contact your counselor about - since I don't know your college very well). You'll need political science, a biology, a physical science, and English (maybe even speech if you want to go to a cal state). As far as transferring goes... you're going to have a very rough time. That college isn't going to prepare you enough to be competitive (why students come down to Irvine Valley College and Saddleback College). Now please, don't post these things here. This isn't a community forum - we have a forum for that. If you want, I'll make a group for this section. I think that would be appropriate. Cheers.
