Can the student of computer science take up software engineering jobs?

I'm actually interested in computer hardware now. I'm not sure whether i 'm interested in software or not, because I'm not exposed to programming languages yet. I wish to study IT. I 've heard those who take up IT have good job prospects , they have higher chance to get promoted and get higher...

Does the course of Computer Science , Software Engineering need physics theory?

Is there a computer programming language that is the "best" and/or most transferable (in terms of making it easier to learn other languages down the line) for someone who is just getting started in this area? I literally have zero programming experience as of the moment, but would like to get...

I rarely promote software, but since reading about the blue light glasses in the medical forum and remembering many members having trouble with light background sites I though I'd mention f.lux f.lux has pretty much extended the lifetime of my eyes. It follows the sun in your area to match your...

I read somewhere (article, messageboard, i can't find it anymore) that motherboard bus speeds are limited because if the frequency gets too high then the signal will disappear. I guess I understood it to mean that the bus wire will become like and antenna if the frequency is too high. They...
