Cool College

Well as you all may know by now, im off to college in September. The course i will be doing is a 1 year BTEC 1st Diploma for IT Practitioners. and 3 out of all the things i will be studying and will find most interesting are:

Web Design

Computer Maintenence

Binary Coding (i think its also called ASCII?)

Anyway i went to the college this eveing for a presentation and afterwoods we looked round at the I.T Suites, and i will tell you now they were like the size of an aircraft hanger. But some were like usual sized classrooms as well.

Re: College

Binary coding - do they still do that? - unless it's different, in my day that was using a dodgy keypad to enter code in 1's and 0's to make lights come on and off in sequences and control robot arms!

Good luck Wayne - enjoy the college life (and no hacking!)

Re: College

Never mind you could always say I wasn't hacking just sending a series of 1's and 0's over a network that happened to be misunderstood by your computer...

Dunno about that, possibly called "assembler", which is all about hex.
