I’m currently working in retail to support myself (apartment & school studying Game Design), but I would like to receive better income with an actual career. My university (University of San Diego) is offering online courses in Java Programming, and I would be awarded a certificate upon completion.

I’m just wondering what type of jobs will I be able to get with this cert? I would be willing to get this cert if it means having a better job to support myself during school.

I know Java and C++, I am working into my CS BA, but how do I go on further outside my classroom?

I want to improve my programming skills and maybe take on a open source project so I have something to put on my resume, anyone who is experience in programming please help.

Can you also help by putting your personal experience on how you became a programmer and got a job into the field?

I want to develop software and apps : ) thanks

I want to be prepared for my job that starts in 6 months. I’m looking for advice on certifications I should get or just general ways that I can start expanding my knowledge so I can be successful.

My job is as a IT consultant. My major is computer science and engineering and most of my work will revolve around programming and consulting.

I know the obvious things like read magazines and books, but are there any good magazines out there that I should be subscribed to?

Or maybe websites I should check out?

What books and/or programs do I need to get a very basic introduction to programming? It seems most books out there on programming assume that you have some prior knowledge, and I do not.

I already have a college degree in something else but I think programming would be interesting and more lucrative. I plan on taking classes at a community college to see if I like it and then go from there.
Heres the whole story. I studied music in college and just got a job composing music for video games. It would help if I knew a little coding because I’ll also be doing sound design and sound effects and will be responsible for the implementation. I was told it would help to know a little c++ but everything on c++ assumes you know something already and I don’t. They have told me they will train me on the implementation but I want to learn a bit first. I’ve got months before I start the job.

what is the most popular and used language in the desktop application programs?

I have to take a business applications programming class. I have a choice between a class using COBOL and one using Java. Which one is the most sought after in today’s job market? Assuming there are still jobs to be had in the future.

I want to learn computer programming on my own and eventually get a job without a degree. I’m not able to attend college right now. So that’s the reason. I basically want to be a freelance programmer.

I also want to try and get as many certifications I can. Any advice?
I know C C++ is what I really need to learn
Oh yeah where do I get the certifications? Through college?

My local junior college offers a certificate of completion program for computer programming specialist. You get a certificate, just like you would say if you were a pharmacy tech.

Its a 16-17 unit coarse.

What kind of jobs could you get with something like this? Where in California do you think i would have to move or commute to this kind of job?

The good thing is that I’ll get this certificate before i even get an AS in Comp Sci. Sooo i might as well get it right?
