What are the differences between computer repair and computer science courses in a vocational highschool?

December 6, 2009 by  
Filed under computer science courses

I’m entering a vocational high school but the application provides little information about the courses offered.

Can someone tell me what the difference between computer repair and computer science are?

I want to learn more about languages like c++, java, etc.

So which one would provide more of that? And if you can, please elaborate on what would generally be provided in each of the courses.

I’m planning on becoming a computer programmer and/or graphics programmer, hopefully for video games.
So which do you think would be better for this path?

Thanks. ^^

    hey i attended a vocational highschool. Computer repair deals with hardware issue and actual hardware repair.

    What you’re interested in is computer science. My hs’s cs program taught c++, html, asp and integrated web design. Basically in CS you work with learning how to program and applying that to specific areas like web programming, database programming, etc.

    In your case, computer science courses is the way to go.

    Pay extra attention to them because if you take computer science at University/college, it would be a great help.
