Re: Necessary experience for computer engineering?

That course description sounds like a basic "Digital Logic" course and if this is the "lowest level" course that you have, then its likely that you are not taking circuits. This is probably good. Circuits can be extremely challenging. Our program requires two units of circuits (...

Re: Necessary experience for computer engineering?

If you already have some programming experience, you are faaaar ahead of the curve. From what I've seen, at least 90% of the students have never seen the stuff... I've always thought that was weird, since most of the people I see in forums like this were programming in elementary school. I understa...

Necessary experience for computer engineering?

This might not be in the right section, but it's almost slightly related and this is an oft-visited board, so it'll get some more attention. Feel free to move this if necessary. This is mainly directed toward Falco and other current/former ECE students, but if you have something to contribute, pleas...

This thread already exists. Twice. They're in Off-Topic, though, so they haven't been seen much.

Re: Google Interview Questions

Wow, the only one I know how to answer is the manhole cover one. All the rest made my skull hurt. That's probably because I know dick about programming, but still.

Re: Dream Trip

Out of curiosity, what would happen if you used cubes instead of spheres (to prevent the "falling off" problem)? Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Trying to bounce off of spheres is unpredictable, because it's hard to control what angle you're hitting it. Other than that, and occasiona...

Re: How much can a language change in ~10 years?

Alright, thanks guys. I posted this same question on another forum when I first got the book, and the only reply I got said that the biggest problem would be that some of what was acceptable back then might be considered bad practice now, which I kinda understand, but this book seems to be doing jus...
