Hello im a BTEC National Extended Level 3 Student. Im at a bit of a crossroads, im thinking Computer Science would be a great degree once the university time comes, however i would like to get a headstart, so im wondering wheres the best place to start, what language to start off?? how long do they usually take to learn and then what should i do?

Thanks
 
im off to bed lads.

Please keep giving your brillaint advice, thoughts and knowledge and if possible and you have the time, your own stories on how you got started, how you started and what you learned.
 
Just a quick questions lads.
The computer science degree course itself, wouldn't it start from the basics of programming in the first year, from the start is what im trying to say?

Yes it would.

They would generally start with pseudo code and gradually introduce you.

ok, because atm im doing my course + retaking my GCSE Maths, trying to hit those distinctions and merits while retaking my maths, doing assignments, revising its going to be hard to learn programming, but i am really really interested in it so im glad to hear that they start from the basics in the computer science degree. So i presume the course structure would be the following if you was to include the sandwich year:

Year 1: Basics of programming, from the beggining - the start of the course
year 2 : more advanced
year 3: even more advanced.
year 4: placement year

something like that anyway.
 
i think i might leave it until after the course, where i hopefully will get the grades to enrol on the computer science course, why put myself through the hastle of trying to learn it by myself when in 2 years time, trained lecturers will start from the beginning, the very basics and for four years will teach it to me at university.
