Hi everybody !
We are a group of students who participate in a competition organized by Atos. The theme of this competition is "Smart Mobility"
The idea of our application is to use augmented reality. The user can mark his environment by text, audio, video or photos tags taken with a mobile.
Many people feel the need to leave a mark of their passage on Earth. Rene Magritte said: "The real value of art is based on its liberating power of revelation". This sentence expresses the need for liberation and democratization of expression. As demonstrated by the social networks that become real media tools, such as was the case in Libya.
If you are interested in, visit our webpage on Atos It Challenge website. And if you like this concept, click on Like . The link : atositchallenge.net/ideas/mind4one-0
Thanks !
Hello XDA,
another superb tipp for you'all: Perlenspiel
It's a little javascript-based engine dedicated for all those people who want to know something about game design. It features a grid of "beads" (squares atm) with a max. size of 32x32. It also features functions to control these beads or user input. It's a great environment to be creative and to come up with new or funny ideas. May the one or another will give it a try
Edit: Gamasutra: Article about Brian Moriarty, Perlenspiel
Moriarty drew inspiration from the 1943 novel The Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse, which describes a game in which the rules and mechanics are not explained in detail. Using that concept, Moriarty set out to create a game engine that would teach students about coding with minimal guidance.
His eventual solution was a simple, Javascript-based engine dubbed Perlenspiel, which could create games using a mosaic-like grid (with a resolution of a medium-sized windows con), colored pixels (or "beads"), and a text-based status box.
Moriarty explained that Javascript became his language of choice because it is currently one of the most versatile and useful languages in nearly all realms of game development.

As far as i know, i just got accepted to one of the US University, at West Coast, The Cougar if you wonder. I am not American, so this is a huge succeed, lol. but whatever.
I had basic skills over software programming and really interested to be pro in that.
Otherwise, i really don't know which degree to take this Fall . it either will be Computer Science (BA i think, since BS will require much more Mathematics and i don't think i can handle everything in English) , or Computer Engineering.
I have been Google around and Both Computer Engineering and Computer Science has a class for Software Development.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Computer_Science
Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Computer Science
Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) in Computer Science
Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA)
Bachelor of Mathematics in Computer Science
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BScIT)
Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Computer Science
Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Computer Science) - BSE (CS)
Bachelor of Computer Security in Computer Science
Bachelor of Computing in Computer Science
Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS) in Computer Science (BSc CS or BSCS or BSc (Comp))

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_engineering
Computer engineering, also called computer systems engineering, is a discipline that integrates several fields of electrical engineering and computer science required to develop computer systems.[1] Computer engineers usually have training in electronic engineering (or electrical engineering), software design, and hardware-software integration instead of only software engineering or electronic engineering. Computer engineers are involved in many hardware and software aspects of computing, from the design of individual microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design. This field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems themselves work, but also how they integrate into the larger picture.

So... If any one here did roll in this kind of degree, please tell me which one is the way to go?
My skill of programming right now is at the beginning level of C++.
Are you good with math?

Yes. I have been study like a math-hardcore. I mean like i love to learn Math and i am pretty good at it. At least now i am doing fine with AP calculus and going to have AP Exam Pretty Soon.
I'd go with Bachelor of Science in Computer Science if I were you. More things to do with it and you have started programming.

But what will i study in it? I want to be roll in class that spend on the computers and doing stuffs, not like class with pen and paper.

If you don't like the pen and paper, then a bachelor's degree wouldn't work for you, I think. It will also depend on your professor, some prefer hands-on while others do the pen and paper method.

Okay then, so what is the possibility of future job if i success in Computer Science BS?
you should do both, they have a close curriculum, the only thing is that can take you probably two or three more terms but when you are done you end with two degrees.
ask if you can do that at the university you are going.
Pd: i am doing this and is call "dual enrollment"
I have been researching and look like the Bachelor of Science do offer a lot of stuffs, even Software Engineering, so look like it is better deal than Computer Engineering Alone...
Sample courses
Below is a sample of courses that students who are pursuing a BS in computer science are likely to take:
Program Design and Development
Data Structures
Advanced Data Structures
Programming Tools
Computer Architecture
Software Engineering Principles I and II
Automata and Formal Languages
Principles of Software Design
Software Design Project I and II
Design and Analysis of Algorithms
Operating Systems and Computer Architecture
Fifteen credits of computer science option courses may be taken in such areas as communications, computer engineering, computer graphics, mathematics, networks and distributed systems, scientific computation, or software engineering.

I'm in the same boat this year. I think comp engineering is better because you get to learn hardware programming. So it replaces some CS theories with more technical, engineering stuffs. And it also teaches hardware.
In terms of programming, CS will teach you to create any application you want as long as it doesnt control the hardware, while CE will teach you courses that XDA kernel devs do like multi core scheduling, CPU optimization. So it's more into drivers and OS
I am doing computer engineering from india
So as far as ik
B. C. A. And other computer science are not good enough if you are computer geek or freak (that's me)
In india (i dont know about other countries)
We have engineering in two degrees. (4years)
First is called bachelor of engineering in computers
Second is called bachelor of technology in computers
First has lot of pen and paper work
Second has better technical knowledge or practical stuff.
So its your choice what you want to do
I am doing first
I will be doing M. Tech after my b.e.
And to get admission in M. Tech you need to pass GATE exam which is quite easy because only 16℅ pass every year

Hi XDA,
my name is Simone, I'm 27 and writing from Italy.
I'm into the IT sector, work as database administrator, I love computer and mobile stuff, particularly when it comes to hardware and software tweaking.
Unrelated to IT, I love cars, travelling, music (mostly metal and electronic genres), training (running, bike, gym etc.), playing electric guitar and DIY in general.
See you in the forum
