Yeah we have a core programmers that our great and good CTO. It's just they lack people skills so they're easily fooled by peoples bullshyt. Also even when finding people if they turn out to be good they turn to be really unreliable. We've spent easily 200k this last year on shytty programmers.
Need Advice ASAP....Software Engineering vs Computer Science.

Very true...but when it comes to writing software, experience and research on your own will get you further than most of what you'll do in school anyway (unless you're at a Tech heavy college I'm guessing). Learning about the theoretical side of things can give you a much clearer understanding of the subject, which will lead to more effective programming.
If you're completely set on doing software development, you really can't go wrong either way. Just know that if you decide to try something different in the tech field, Computer Science will give you a better foundation to do that.
Just out of curiosity ...What type of process are yall using?
This is very true. When hiring I could careless about college education. If you can explain principles and real world use and if you have portfolio of stuff you have created.
If you have your own program you have built in a language that is great. I will hire you everytime over a guy with an education.
Really if your in school you should build your own software spend 6 months on it in a relevant language and you will get a job and get a job fast.
I've tried everything.
Spent xxx,xxx on elance. Hired locally. Used and agency to hire. If you name it we've tried it.
Software Process....People tell me its basically writing a bunch of test code and documenting it. We will learn how to code efficiently by timing how long it takes to code, refactoring and documentation
Wow. Never heard of that course or anything like it.
I don't know, if you want to take it, go ahead.
Try out for a spring semester sport. It's your last chance to get into the NCAA, sign big contracts with pro sports teams and live large.
Does this class teach you things like cucumber?

Feature: Change password
Scenario: Change my password
Given I am signed in
When I go to the users edit page
And I fill out change password section with my password and "newsecret" and "newsecret"
And I press "Change password"
Then I should see "Password changed"
Then I should be on the new user session page
When I sign in with password "newsecret"
Then I should be on the stream page
Scenario: Reset my password
Given a user with email "forgetful@users.net"
Given I am on forgot password page
When I fill out forgot password form with "Forgetful@users.net"
And I submit forgot password form
Then I should see "You will receive an email with instructions"
When I follow the "Change my password" link from the last sent email
Then I should see "Change my password"
When I fill out reset password form with "supersecret" and "supersecret"
And I submit reset password form
Then I should be on the stream page
Well, yes...guess we will go through scenarios.. basically it will teach us requirement analysis(check for possible failures), how to deal with clients/teams, and map out how to any given project... probably how to use Scrum, Waterfall, Extreme Programming...etc Kinda got this first hand in my Senior Design course. Just dealt with a client who actually turned out to be very demanding. We lost some sleep last semester
This is great experience. I'm president/owner for one of my companies and alot of my job is dealing with project management. A large portion of my day is with using stuff like.
Github/Scrum/Pivotal Tracker/Sugar Crm
I really enjoy the project management. I've spent two years managing this project from the idea to a sold solution.
This.
A software Engineering degree doesn't make you a software engineer. Knowing the languages does. The degree title is irrelevant. But no doubt Computer Science holds more cache. So get the CS degree and learn the languages.
I am a year and half away from a CS degree. I have dabbled in C++ and am finishing up my first semester of Java. In the past couple days I have been thinking of trying to learn the syntax of Obj C simply because i have an idea for a simple iphone app that i want to create.
I want to know, what are the qualities of a BAD software programmer?
One more thing, im not super strong in math. Im decent, but it is definitely not my favorite thing to deal with. How much complicated math would one have to deal with in a practical software writing position?
