I definitely think so. Lots of software work is line of business software, where some business or portion of a business needs a dashboard to show reports or some program to move data from this old system to this new system. No real math proficiency required there. I hope your Linux classes go over well. I'd take a…

To be honest, I don't think and haven't personally experienced mathematical skill being required for a successful programming career. Sure there are places where you'd need it, but generally I think it doesn't really matter.

Could you not just quote the literal strings, like "C:\copy "n.c++"+"n.c++" ? Not on a machine right now or I would try it myself.

I'd say you need to understand core fundamentals rather than just what a language can do with its syntax. For instance, I can say that in C# variable assignment looks like this (var myString = "SomeString";) and in VB.NET it looks like this (Dim myString As "SomeString"), but knowing either of those isn't nearly as…

My buddy always says Old Testament God routinely displays behavior he wouldn't tolerate from his five year old.
