East Kilbride... close to it
All roads in Glasgow lead to East Kilbride.East Kilbride... close to it
I followed one of them once. It was an education.
Once you get to East Kilbride, be prepared to get dizzy... we aren't named polo mint city for nothing
My brother did software engineering at glasgow, so I guess that's kind of influenced my decision a little bit. I've heard nothing but good things from computing science, so if I was really stuck for choices I know I can always do that and enjoy it.

My point was HTML is like scripting languages (javascript, lua, python etc), as they aren't programming languages compared to C++, c#, basic etc..... not that hyper text markup language is scripted (as it's a markup language)Eh?
HTML is a markup language, big difference surely?
Considering what you can do with JavaScript now (granted it was never designed to do what people make it do) I wouldn't be too dismissive of it, especailly as Basic (which is in your "real programming languages" list) has been quickly dropped by everyone that ever used to be a proponent of it.
Oh i see, fair enough
Python is pretty powerful though! As is javascript these days..
I think both of those could be classed as programming languages.
Good maths skills are key to your future, and it sounds as though you're not getting pushed hard enough. The answer is to do more than the school is providing - get a good maths study guide - such as http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maths-Studen...083077&sr=1-59 which I can't recommend too highly - and work at it. Getting a good maths grade is worth the effort, and this should help to set you up for it. Good luck!
Ok thats just silly.My point was HTML is like scripting languages (javascript, lua, python etc), as they aren't programming languages compared to C++, c#, basic etc..... not that hyper text markup language is scripted (as it's a markup language)
Yes any muppet can do it, but that dosen't make it *bad*.
HTML is a Markup langauge, like XAML. HTML is awful compared to XAML for many reasons which would drag this thread off topic.
Scripting languages like Javascript are differnet to the real version, but that line is becoming more and more fuzzy, IronPython for instance.
Anyway there is one important thing to rember, electronic engineers all to often write horrifically awful code, they will of never heard of IoC and instead love littering their C++ with macros which feature inline ASM. But at the same time software numpties will have no actual understanding of how the machine works, interupts are just a transparent concept to them, this means when some hardcore debugging is needed they aren't up to the task.
The trick is to get a healthy blend of both. I did cybernetics with computer science and enjoyed that

Congratulations for totally misinterpreting my point.
I never criticised them or their use, I simply pointed out that HTML is not a programming language, neither are scripting languages by definition of how they work.
Where did I ever call them *bad*??
But HTML is nothing like Javascript.
HTML is a descriptive marketup.
Javascript is an imperative late bound interpreted langauge which has a load in common with C#, absolute bucket loads.
HTML is a dumb markup language which i really wish we could move away from!
Now a scripting langauge can actually be a programming language, for example IronPython.

I am checking this...I think it even gives Milton Keynes a run for it's money
Will not enter into language discussion but I've found that having a quite broad range of topics in your degree (Software engineering with a LOT of Internet / Networking) has helped me no end.
Engineering degrees are generally accreddited so that you can advance to Charter status without having to do additional entrance exams. You get a nice BEng after your name rather than a scummy generic BSc or *shudder* BA (Guess what I've got!! haha)
I never said it was, just that neither were like a true programming language.
Car, bicycle and a pogo stick
All are modes of transport, but just because a bike doesn't have an engine doesn't make it like a pogo stick, just not like a car
See I would say they are different in the way they actually work with events etc, however Python is actually a programming language used as a scripting language so is more hybrid than anything else
Even more so that IP is written in a c# syntax AFAIK due to the use of .net/mono
