Computer Studies w/o Excessive Coding?

Posted by Cliff on from the computer-science-lite dept.

Peterus7 asks: "I'm a student at the University of Washington, and I was planning on majoring in Computer Science or Informatics until I took Computer science, and I'm realizing that it's simply beyond me. I grew up with computers, and naturally I want to study a field that involves a lot of interaction between people and technology (mainly computers), but the Intro to Java class I'm taking now is driving me over the edge. Any suggestions for a technologically intensive field that doesn't require ungodly amounts of coding, or perhaps any general methods for surviving computer science courses for new students?"

    All you have to know how to do is file baseless lawsuits and blow a lot of hot air. Plus, if there is one thing we know for sure about SCO, it is that there is no programming going on.
