I need some advice, or guidance or...whatever point of view you want to offer.
Im going to a community college for a Network Technology AS. Part of the requirements are an intro programming class (im in this currently, taking qbasic) and a first-level programming class after that, either C++ or Visual Basic.
I had planned to take C++ in the summer, but the schedule changed to Visual Basic, and C++ won't be available again until spring.
Im not really interested in programming. I don't enjoy it, I have a hard time focusing so I constantly find myself going back over what Ive done, to remind me of what I need to do next. But its required, and I know it'll benefit me, so Ill get it done anyway.
I also spend more time using linux, and Im interested in understanding some things more and maybe being able to do some of my own programming or scripting, but Im not sure how useful vbasic would really be for me.
I know that it wont *hurt* me to end up taking both classes, but which will really benefit me more, or is there really a good reason to learn some of both even though Im not terribly interested in programming at all?
cliffs:
i hate programming
i prefer linux over windows
should i learn vbasic? c++? both? why?
thanks
