I agree about going to technical colleges and other areas. In fact, I made
that very point. There is no reason that these kinds of programs even NEED
to be four year degrees.
I don't want to get into a debate about certifications. As one who hires
programmers, I can say this for myself and many o
In order to make a living as a programmer, unless you can seriously wow your
potential employers with raw ability, it's difficult to make any real money
unless you have a little piece of paper that says "Look what I can do!"
I've been programming in PHP, Perl, ASP, Java, Visual Basic, C and C++ to
Computer science is considered an engineering discipline in most
institutions. And I think that's good... we need people out there to develop
OS's, create database servers, etc. PHP can be effectively used in this
curriculum, but C seems a lot more to the point.
The place where PHP could (and sh

Hmm, well I'm 20 years removed from college at this point, but I can
relate somewhat to the issue ... the tail end of my college life was
when the IBM PC was introduced and I can assure you there were no

Where I went to school (UMass Amherst), they primarily use Java and
C/C++. The reason has been cited that the skills learned in programming
with these languages are scalable to many other languages, including
PHP, and thus form a solid foundation from which other programming
skills can evolve
