youngmoneyeze: there deal with hardware, is computer science that deal with programmer mean software

angelchyke: Sometime ago, last month, a friend of my in the Computer Science came by my place, to visit and you know, "shack garri". AFter he was done, satisfying the whims of his belly, he told me that he just doesn't get. They had been given an assignment in PASCAL programming. This is a guy that started learning programming privately, with C#.

But if I should throw this to the Nigerian community here on Nairaland, what do our universities have to offer us in the study and research of computer science. PASCAL? Can they favourably compete with the foreign counterparts in the other universities. Naija guys and girls abroad, your unprejudiced judgements will go a long way,

youngmoneyeze: The problem with Nigeria student is that them want to be like white people, don't know that will are better than them.
most student are said that Nigeria university are not good in computer science in aspect of programmer. that many lecture can not taught fortan, student will should remember a topics in physics called machine that say machine can not work 100percentage because of that load ovrcome that fraction meaning that lecture can not give u 100percentage efficiency u have to research, work hard. this is the generation of computer science student dont sleep will have many ways to go, will have to developed our country with the word of computer so that they can remember us in pass.
few said that dont study computer science in Nigeria that our university is too poor, my brother, my sister don prove urself wrong what about some people who can not offer two square mile aday , people who have the talent to develop our county with computer science. schooling abroad is the same thing study here because lecture can not give u 100percentage efficiency u have to work hard, want make them having a good programmer is that they are used human resource in those countries.eye have open. i have a cousin that study electrical electronic in unbein it company him out for IT it say that will Nigeria deceiver ourself. it say that the company is doing him IT the white people connected a series connection him do it,they are many thing they do not kwn how to do. why are will complaining about our school here.

javaprince: @All
Computer Science is not all about Programming. Hence, B Sc. is not a WASTE of time. They teach u the fundamentals of Computer Science. True the Education system is deteriorating, everything in Nigeria is except probably Banking System.

Then also, most schools like my school For instance (FUTA) gives you an Introduction to most on these programming languages such as Visual Basic, Fortran, C, C++, Java, and PHP (in that Order) and am not bragging. Also, we also get to learn courses such as Data Structures and Algorithms, Networking, Database management, System ana,ysis and Design, etc. Tell me, a Chap that just goes to learn Java, does he get to learn all the above.

Hence, software companies always prefer a computer science graduate with skills of programming.

pisolution:
I beg, no deceive yourself, you fit learn all these languages on your own ooooo.

wilsonbuchi: I need you guy's help.. I'm Wilson.. wanna sit for jamb and the course I wanna take on is computer science cox even from when I was a toddler, I've been a geek.. the problem is.. in my waec, I had d7 in Chemistry.. I don't know if it will affect me and my choice.. though I made the other eight subjects.. eng b3. maths c6. Igbo a1. agric b2. geography b2. physics c5. bio c5. economics c6. Chem d7.. can I go for computer science with this result? jamb subjects fortunately for me are maths, physics and any other relevant science course.. I will go for geo cox I'm good at it too.. i'm just afraid my chem might Bleep up.. my first choice is futo.. wanna know their waec requirements for computer science.. help a bro in need.. plz..
