I think I can become a good computer programmer, but I can't really draw anything at all. Do I have to be good at art though if I want to work on video games, or can I just get really good at programming and someone else makes all the art for me to use? #art #programming...

I've always been curious about working at a startup or at a big tech company in silicon valley. I got to watch the HBO show at a friends house the other day and I thought it was ultra funny. Although I did not get some of the jokes. But is that what it is really like? Especially the part where...

When I graduate high school I'm going to go to college but I also want to try to get some summer or after school jobs to help pay for school. What can I do to stand out for the competition? For example does it matter if I do a team sport or other things or are my grades and programming...

The reason that I am asking this question because I thought that Computer Scientist and Computer Engineer were pretty much the same thing. If it is different, than can someone tell me the difference? #computer-science #computer #technology #computer-engineering...

I love games and gamers! I am thinking very seriously about getting into the video game industry and I am definitely going to go to college. I know it is really popular and competitive and I am going to work hard and look around for any opportunity. When I get out of college what kind of money...

Currently I am using Sublime Text 3 although XCode can be used to edit JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Obj-C, etc.. files. I use ST3 because it is really slick and customizable. Do companies require you to use IDEs? If so, which IDE and is there a specific reason? If not, which IDE do you use? Is there...

I had a plan in my old school to take 2 years of programming but I moved. My new school has no programming classes and I don't want to go into college with no experience in the field. I want to go into the game design field and be a programmer but I am worried that I won't know anything about...
