I stink at java programming, should i still major in computer science?

i just took my first computer science course, in introduction to java. ill admit that im absolutely terrible. ill probably get a C+ in the course, especially after that last test.





anyway, would it be smart to just change majors, or should i stick with it?

Stick with it , It can seem overwhelming at first but give it some more time.
Reply:What is the reason you got a C+ in the


Introduction to JAVA ?





If you find it difficult to understand the logic


and language structure then its time for you


to move to another field.





But if you can comprehend JAVA given


more study time and better learning


materials ( books / references ) then


stay with the course.
Reply:I would have thought you would have received a C++ or C#. Boo! Yeah, I know...bad joke.





I have a B.A. in Computer Science and I find it odd that your first CS course is in Java. That is the wrong approach. You should learn C+ or C++ first, as this is the basis of most of today's computer languages including Java. If you are passionate and interested in becoming a programmer, I suggest continue with the major. But, I would strongly suggest taking a more basic course and speaking with a counselor or someone from the CS department.





My first CS class was programming in C. Then, I moved to C++, Postscript, Java, Javascript and ASP.
