In response to the C/C++ messages: I think you should add at least basic computer science courses to the curriculum. Though a course on C/C++ is certainly asking too much, you should however include 'Basic Programming' (or whatever it is called at your college). You _will_ use scripting languages and they are nothing else than retarded programming languages (Even if the manufacturers say their scripting language is easy and every five year old can use it). Programming skills and a little algorithmic thinking will certainly help you. Generally: Physics, electronics, and computer architecture really set the limits of Multimedia today. You should try to get some knowledge in these fields. My recommendations: Computer Science I/II Basic Programming (if not included above) Maybe there is a CS course on Basic Computer Architecture (What is a bus, what is a hard disk, what is RAM, how do they work together). A course on audio and video basics (how does a TV work, what is HDTV) from the EE department would be useful too. ********************************************************************* * Dr. Konrad Froitzheim * * University of Ulm, (Germany) Dept. of Distributed Systems * * Internet: frz@informatik.uni-ulm.de * * Fax: ++ 49 731 502 4142 * *********************************************************************
