枫下家园 / 电脑用户 / Summer Course开始，闲的时间比较多，各位高手推荐门计算机方面的东西学。Java？SQL？PHP？VC？ -bxy(西岭); 2001-5-1 (#58160@0)

俺可不是高手，不过建议成系统地学：Winnt/2000+ASP+VB+SQLServer或者Solaris+Oracle+Java/JSP。与Web development无关的东西俺更不懂。 -feather(feather); 2001-5-1 (#58234@0)

Thanks a lot! -bxy(西岭); 2001-5-1 (#58308@0)
Faint?! Who can grasp so many things in a summer?! I suggest JAVA... -pasu(InTheSky); 2001-5-1 (#58315@0)

Which java?SWING/AWT for applet and GUI design ,or beans/EJB for enterprise purpose ,or JSP/JDBC for web development? I strongly recommend learning for some kinds of concrete purpose,not just languages or tools. -feather(feather); 2001-5-1 (#58339@0)

Up! 现在计算机方面要学的东西太多了，我想比较系统的学一门。还想多听听大家的意见！ -bxy(西岭); 2001-5-1 (#58310@0)

I don't know your backgroud, and I am afraid my suggestions are not useful to you. If you are new in computer science, I do suggest Java. I mean the language. -bloor(不算太老); 2001-5-1 {1508} (#58353@0)
本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Find some good books, like 'Java in nutshell'; and read from the very begining. Make this in mind, that you are not learning a language, but learning the concept of programming (like FEATHER said). One other important thing is, practice as much as you can.

For microsoft technologies, if you don't know C++, then VB is what you must know, and all other aspects like server setup/maintenance, SQL server are quite easy and strait forward. It's hard to grasp VC in a short time, not because the language or usage, but the library provided by Windows, and windows itself.

If you don't have UNIX experience, I think LINUX is a good start point. Make sure you have a book handy for help.

From the programer point of view, the difference between each database are NOT so big. What you will need to do is: write a propriate SQL statement / procedure in the SQL language/grammer for that database; know how to use the client software for that database. Database maintainence is a better option, but it's hard for you to really know without some true experience. SQL server is quite easy to install, maintain and use, and should be a good start. Oracle is the most popular db now; some others like mysql, POSTGRESQL are also in the list.

You may post your study progress here, and I believe many friends will also benefit from it.

BTW, you can find many useful staff / assignment from Utoronto's web site. I will ask my leader for the address of Java, and post it here later.

Good Luck!更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

Really appreciate your help! Now I am a undergraduate student in computer science and just finish year I. I have some experience in Linux. So I think I should start from Java, and go deep into Unix/Linux. -bxy(西岭); 2001-5-1 (#58375@0)

Now that you are an undergraduate student, you will learn Java in your lectures. Of course you will have advantage to get high score if you learn Java now, but I don't think it's a good option. -bloor(不算太老); 2001-5-1 {124} (#58384@0)
You can take your time to look a bit more on Linux / Database / VC / VB, which you will probably NOT learn at your lectures.

Data Structure !!Data Structure !!! Operating System !!! Operating System!!! -numnum(numnum); 2001-5-1 {720} (#58380@0)
Java , C++ , etc are just tools, they are just languages.
In order to be a real computer scientist, you've gotta have a very good understanding in Data Structure and OS.
for undergrad level Data Structure:
all sorts of sorting algorithms, of course
doubly linked list, Priority Queue, different kinds of hash tables, Binary Search Tree, RB tree, AVL tree,
Memory management, for example in C++, how to overload new and delete operators.

For OS ,undergrad level:
understanding device drivers and kernel, and how they interact
interprocess communication on System V
File system organization.

all these are very basic but very important, without a sound background in these areas, you can not go too far.

OOPS, I thought you were to take courses during the summer. If you study by yourself, it's not too bad to pick a language of your interest, such as JAVA to work on. -numnum(numnum); 2001-5-1 (#58386@0)
as you know I am learning algorithms now :), so I should keep going -bxy(西岭); 2001-5-1 (#58389@0)
