I hate people that make fun of other because they don't "revise" so I'm going to rewrite what I have written on top and I have a 4.0 so that means a like 'A' in ENGLISH.
I like to build codes and want to create OS and other stuff like that. What field of study is this? I am planing to goto study of software enginnering. Where does this fall under. IF u have taken computer science in college and work at microsoft or other companys. Then tell me about ur experience and give ur E-mail address so i can contact u.
Thank U in Advance except 'M'.

First of all, you need to go to college. In order to get into college, you are going to need to be able to demonstrate proficiency in English. That is the first thing you have to work on. Everything else follows from there. How can you do Calculus, or Physics, or Computer Science, or any of your classes if you can't write in proper English.
Once you have the English thing down, you need to ace all of your math and science classes. Make sure you take all of the math and science available to you. You have to take Calculus and Physics.
Next, you apply to universities. Go to the best school that you can afford/get in to. They will have the best professors and curriculum.
If you want to be a professional software engineer, and work at Microsoft, you will need to ace all of your math, science, and computer related classes in college.
As for what classes you take, what you need is the basics, the fundamentals. Forget java programming, this programming, and that programming. Take compilers, languages, operating systems, real time, and architecture. If you understand all of that you can program any kind of software in any language.

Software Engineering is a new field. Computer Science has existed longer. Computer Science is more involved with programming, computer architecture, operating systems, and database. Software Engineering is an approach to developing software in organization with of other developers. Writing programs for a long time has been at times an art. Software Engineering makes programming more of an engineering approach. A lot of analysis and design is stressed with elaborate object orient analysis and pattern reuse. Also, you learn the work flow of the water fall model and iterative approach. Then you get into metrics and how to optimize develop and identify areas of trouble. I think a degree in computer science is best. Software Engineering is more of a specialty that you can do in a masters program or learn on the job. Small companies don't always use a lot of the software engineering methods and are ad hoc rather than an SEI approach. Also, knowing a foreign language is useful as lot of the work now is outsourced.

Take it from a fellow musician and computer-holic...It sounds like you might be separating your music life from your computer interests. You have chosen two of the most progressive interests there are. In other words if you ever stop learning in either field you might as well put the drum sticks up in the closet and let the dust gather on your lap top cause you are done. Also, the 2 industries cannot stand alone anymore. Since about 1990 Computer technology and music have become intertwined in such a way that they can no longer be separated. You're asking about education and I applaud your forward thinking. (Not many 17 yr olds are really thinking that way) Bravo! Education AND experience are equally important and more important than anything! Education, however, is not equal to a degree or diploma, and education and experience are both really up to you. You decide how much you are going to glean from that education and how much experience you can fit into your schedule While I cannot vouch for the individual employer's ability to read a resume' and cannot promise that said employer won't throw yours in the trash opting for the more impressive degree, I can say that many college students underestimate the power of practical experience, and feel that the education is enough. IT SIMPLY IN NOT ENOUGH! Every minute of experience that you can show on a resume' both during college and during high school is priceless! Find out about internships as early as you can. Volunteer, work in the mail room, or just ask if you can 'hang out' and learn the ropes. (In the music industry 'hanging out' is totally normal behavior). Be reliable, dependable, and person of your word even if you're just volunteering. That experience on your resume' will go a long way to forward your job opportunities. Plus, while you're getting that experience you are networking with people you a liable to be working for or with in the future. Jobs in 2014-2017 - I live in Nashville, tn (Music City, USA) and as far as jobs...well we are going through yet another job scarce trend. That's all jobs. However, in both industries there are certainly avenues to create your own job if you are willing to put in the hours. Worried about outsourcing? Be the outsource company. Want to keep it within the realm of music? Create the next cool plugin for protools or create the next protools, logic, or garage band format. The possibilities are really quite endless if you apply them according to the projected needs of the industry in question. If you love your work you'll never WORK a day in your life, is so very true. The way I understand it you live in Canada. I don't profess to know about how much it costs to go to college there but, if you lived in the states I would have to beg the question...Do you love the work you would do with a Computer Science degree enough to pay the extra loan amounts? Would the spread between the lower paying diploma job and the higher paying 'degree' job be equal to or more than the balance of school loans? Maybe you should consider a more specialized area such as a diploma/degree in protools or logic. I hope I haven't left you with more questions than answers, but I feel that maybe these are questions you haven't thought about asking. I wish great luck and a great future! I'm the Bass Diva

If your interest falls in the study of operating systems then Computer Science is for you. This will include a study of programming but is not intended to prepare you for programming in the business environment.
If you decide programming for a company is the direction you would like you would be wise to take business as your major and CS as you minor. It has become more an more important to understand business principals in order to develop systems for it.
Based upon what you have said however CS is for you. not sure where you would be marketable for this however.
