Is taking CS122 before CS120 difficult to do? Is this recommended?

CS 122 is totally unrelated to CS 120. Both are roughly equivalent in difficulty. Therefore, take whichever you want first.

CS120 is probably the easiest course in the major.

 

CS122 increases in difficulty a little bit, but it comes down to what type of teacher you like, or what type of teacher you prefer.

I have taken CS120 and I am currently taking CS122.  They are equally difficult for level 100 courses.  However, I found CS120 to be more paractical in everyday life as it teaches you how to design a web page to your own specifications.  It is a great course with which to start your Computer Science college curriculum.

Hmmm...some friendly advice...be careful how you present your opinions on the teachers on CSNS because CSNS can be understood to be the social network of the entire Computer Science department.

Virtually all CS faculty have CSNS usernames.

With that said, CS320 is probably the hardest course in the entire CS undergraduate curriculum, but don't let that ever discourage you. There are many resources available to help you, and it is not impossible to learn programming to prepare you for CS320 level programming.

I didn't drop any names, most of the faculty is great. I'm just sharing my experience with that particular class. 320 really is the toughest class in the curriculum but it's also the most entertaining because you get to apply everything you learned in the previous Java classes and make some really cool applications.
