Hey folks.
I've decided to enroll for an Associates in Applied Science in Programming. The intro course defaults to C++ so I'll be starting there. From that point I can pretty much decide which languages/technologies to focus on. The choices are for the most part:
C++
Java
C#
Visual Basic .NET
ASP .NET
Database Programming Oracle
I'm wondering what the best route to take would be? Should I take a couple of these and go the whole way through advanced courses (3 semesters)? Or should I tackle as many as possible and maybe only get through one or two semesters each? Or focus on one in particular and take as many courses as possible in that area, then do a couple semesters in a second one, then single semesters to round out the rest?
For example, do C++ for 3 semesters, Java for 2 semesters, then a semester each for the C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, and so on?
There's just so many choices. I'd like to walk away well prepared for an entry-level programming position. As for my interests, I'd be happy working either in the internet realm or in applications development.
