[wplug] Software Development Career

[Telerama]

Hi Ian, 

CCAC had a similar program (known as Carnegie Technical Education (CTE) described at  www.carnegietech.org)  that was developed by CMU and piloted at CCAC.  It comprised CCAC courses CIT501-510.  I took CIT501-505, which would have gotten me a certificate in programming, had I certified in the final course.  The latter five courses would result in a certificate in development.  I never finished 505 and alas, now the program has been terminated at CCAC.  

The courses on the page you referenced were pretty much parallel to those in the CTE program.  You can certainly learn the fundamentals of object oriented programing, which is a valuable tool and a good foundation for further development.  The price is affordable and often the instructors are talented and experienced people in the field.  

Greg

  Disclaimer: I apologize that this request is not specific to WPLUG or Linux but my access to local experts is limited. I believe many of you may have the answers to these questions...

  Greetings, good people,

  I was wondering if any of you folks had an opinion on county certificate programs such as the one referenced below.

  I have a pipe dream of becoming a salaried software developer but as a new father and husband my options are limited...
