Which computer courses should I be taking?

Question

I had previously taken a few programming courses at a college ... C++, HTML , VB to name a few. But I dropped out. This was a few years ago.

I want to go back now, however I'm still debating what I should really be taking given the range of IT areas available today.

Web designing looks interesting.... (see the link below), and the courses being offered at Seneca college ... is this a good choice, I'm making?

What about the new .NET technology? Should I be looking into that? and finally someone recommended I should look into an MCSE certification course, what do u think?

Need your advice guys. ... Thanks

Answer 1

Definitely learn .NET. I'm not sure how much C++, HTML and VB you hung onto from the last time you took them in school, but whatever you remember from there will definitely help you out with .NET.

In my opinion I would wait on the MCSE. Not because I don't think it's good, (I think it's great), I just think it's easier to study for and take once you have some experience and begin to understand the framework.

Answer 2

Definately go after your A+ certificates, as well as the courses entailed with an MCSE, for example you could just get the first part of it which is your MCP (microsoft certified professional). Those should be very supportive within any computer industry job you are going for.

(sorry, in case you didn't know, your A+ is the industry standard for computer hardware knowledge.)
