Ugh.. we had QBasic. I didn't bother taking it.

Here we only have 3D animations and the basics of program such a DElphi,DreamWeaver,RpgMaker

Usually, if you're lucky, you have Computer Science I & II AP or IB programs. I usually focuses on an object-oriented language (Java/C++) and II focuses more on the important features of that OO language and data structures.
One obvious advantage of AP/IB is that you can take the exam at the end (and I believe both require a decent-sized project) which translates to college credit for equivalent courses mostly anywhere. Each course typically translates directly into a course at the college (intro to programming / data structures).

From what I've heard, most programmers learn more outside the classroom than in, meaning they basically use a few books/websites as reference material and experiment on their own. You have to be fairly self-motivated for that to work, though.
Most of what I know is self taught. I did learn the basics in a class though (loops, variables, arrays, etc).

OR YOU CAN DO PHILOSOPHY LIKE THE PRO'S DO AND GET A JOB AT MCDONALD'S.
fix'd. ;)
-
I took CAD, Computer Networking 1, Computer Science (Java), AP Computer Science, Web Page Design, and I am currently in Advanced Web page Design. I have to agree, although school gave me a good foundation, I learned twice as much by my self.

Wrong JW, or rather JWU.

Right now im taking:
English 11
Economics
Chemistry
physics
French 3
Algebra 2
-
erad, he doesn't care about your other classes, just the ones that pertain to what he asked.
What might also be helpful (at least I found it to be) is learning autocad techniques. Basically you model things in autodesk inventor in detail, and then you can import them into 3ds Max. Since 3ds Max has no detail in the objects you can create it would be your best bet to make a halfway decent scene.

English 11? I thought it was like english 2 or 3 in highschool? heh. My senior year i had short day! it was awesome work your way up to that erad.
I had the choice of going in late 2 hours or leaving earlier 2 hours.

Wait, how are you taking Physics, when you are taking Algebra 2?
-
double math?
-
Physics is just applied math, it's perfectly reasonable to take both at once.
You can fake knowing derivatives and integrals, for the purposes of physics, anyway.

High school was a joke all i learned was to roll a blunt and skip class and get drunk

As if you all get that stuff. All we get is fkn Visual Basic, oh and I got a nice little slip because I called the Visual Basic teacher an idiot and a dumb intercourse. I have found that anything to do in IT at our school is USELESS. I'm doing the main IT course atm, since I cbf learning vb, and its even worse. I'm getting taught how to use Microsoft Access and Excel in a y11 class, how dumb. At least next term might be fun.... designing a website ONLY using the design view of dreamweaver....
-
I know spook, I was just saying though. YA DIC
-
lucky, we get computer apps and basic programming rofl
-
Don't use such abrasive language around the kids here.
Btw, chemistry and physics at the same time. Must be 2 very boring classes in your day.
Also, I'm guessing English 11 means English for the juniors at your school.
On another note, my school offers a lot of computer aided drafting courses. Mainly architecture and 3d solids CAD. I took 3d solids and am actually going to a state competition in April since I got 2nd in regional.

while reading through the replys my school doesnt have half the stuff you said so imma try to self teach myself... like a musician just play around till i know what im doing then get into harder stuff. the musician was added because when i first started playin guitar i couldnt play by reading music but i could do it w/o tabs just play from memory..
