Hi all,
I got early entry into B. Computer Science and am intending on taking it up. I'll hopefully be living at Weerona College.
My question is, what do I need for Computer Science? I already have a PowerBook, but will it be enough for the entire course? Also, is it necessary to have a computer my room or can I just use one on Campus? The other question is, what OS/HW do I need for the course. Is there a recommendation or is it just personal taste?
One more thing, does anyone have recommendations to what I options I should undertake? I definitely have not done any programing before (other than simple Applescripts), but will pick it up fast. I am also interested in networking, hardware/software interaction, GUI design and system design/administration. I'm also Mac centric, but keen to learn Linux/Unix as well. (I have messed around in Linux, but have had limited success in the terminal)
