Computer Science is the gateway to programming. If you are interested in creating programs or even perhaps videogames, Computer Science is your ticket to that. In Computer Science you learn how to program in C++, Java, and Visual Basic. Below I will give an example of a C++ program:

#include
void main()
{
  cout << "Dobie: Campus Life!" << endl;
}

That is a very simple program....as you end up making way more intricate programs than this!
