Go to college and study computer science.

fuck you guys, stop overcrowding my major with fucktards that only want to program, tell them to go with software engineering or self study.

computer science is like 1/20th programming

CS and SE is like the difference between political science and international relations. Ie, not much.

Do you actually not see how retarded you look answering "where do I start if I want to be a software engineer?" with "computer science"?

>>18217915

OP here, the sheer autism on display in this thread made me realize I don't want to be in this field.

Jesus Christ there are ton of autists on tonight. No shit theyre different, but they are basically the same shit and you take a lot of the same classes. Before you type remember that basically is the key word here. Obviously they are different when you get specific.

The thing nobody is saying is that Computer Science has more to do with Maths than anything else.

SE is more about actually writing software.

Go learn you some python or something (just google, everything you need is free (legally, even) online), and then sign up for some classes.
