What kind of school?

[Saturn2004]

College...
i will be taking liberal arts  and  computer programming (both HTML and C++)

[Bobboau]

you realy clasify HTML as 'programming'

[Scuddie]

Technically bob, it is a programming language.  Granted, it cannot serve any independant usefullness, neither did QuickBasic.  Since there is source (html) and compiling (browsing engine), it is indeed a programming language.  Just barely.

[vyper]

So it's not school you're starting it's university?

[Taristin]

's often referred to as college/school in the States.

Stupidity is no excuse

No it's not.  It's a markup language.

Programming language defines - at the most basic level - a set of linear steps to achieve a task.  

Markup language adds adjunct information which must be processed in some way by a program; it's simply a formatting method.

indeed, Java would be best described as a language, HTML just defines ****, really. like what goes where, what it is, and what it does.. a full fledged programming language would be what goes on with the program that reads the markup language (i.e, the browser)

Learn to speak American. Over here, a "university" is a college that includes a graduate program.

Again, stupidity is no excuse. Don't "American" me boy, or I'll tax your tea so little you'll want another revolution...

[Mongoose]

Since when is using another term for the same institution considered to be "stupidity"? The word "university" always sounded far too stuck-up and snobbish to me, anyway.

[vyper]

A college is not a university. A college is a further education establishment used as a stepping stone between Secondary School and University, or between School and above-average employment.

A university is a place of academic excellence where students study for degree qualifications (whether they be Bachelor, Masters level or beyond).

Bring it!





That's what happens when you speak the language the wrong way.

I'll remind you that the last war between Britain and the US ended as a draw and involved the Brits/Canadians burning down your White House.

[Ace]

...and the only battle that we won in that war was fought by a pirate after the war was officially over

[achtung]

I still smell rivalry between the two:drevil:

[Ghost]

Bah. Brits don't have guns. Game over.

[aldo_14]

That's alright, we'll just outsmart you with our university educations and grasp of irony.
