I wanted to start from the ground up so I need to start the intro to it all. I heard about getting my a+, C+, networing and all that but I need to know the intro course. Im currently attending a community college if that makes any difference probably not. Thanx !
Im about to go back to college for computer certifications. Which program should I start first?
Computer Certifications I believe are not offered through Universities. This is just where you get your BA. These certifications are extra and cost extra dollars. You need to find a local area that offers the courses your looking for to get your A+, MCSE, Or Programming certifications.
Just a heads up is a lot of current companies look for BA, Certifications, and also want some real job expierence.

Programming Job Question?
I'm in school working on a BS in applied math and BS physics, but I'm looking to get a programming job while still in school. I'm good with C++ and Java, but I'm looking for a direction to go next to help land a job. I've had a good deal of university programming coursework and I enjoy doing it. From looking around it seems that web programming is more of an entrance as opposed to full-blown software engineering, stressing things like XML, J2EE, and Servlets (please correct me if I'm wrong). Right now I'm learning SQL and integrating it into OOP code. I'm using Dice.com, but many of the positions are posted by staffing agencies as opposed to tech companies, and it's hard to establish a dialogue with them. Are there any kinds of positions or organizations I should look out for? Would official certifications help? Most importantly, what should I concentrate on learning next that I can fairly easily learn on my own?
Programming Job Question?
It seems your headed in the right direction!
J2EE and Java are in..and learning a backend database would help as well.
You can get a job if your good in your fundamentals .
You can get a really good job if you had done certification such as SCJB(something like that for java guys,am into .net)
Reply:MCAD cert helped me greatly both for interviews and for actual knowedge base. I would not however recomended that process for experienced developers.
SQL is critical to know regardless of which programming platform you want to work with. So its good you are doing that.
Other then that its basically .Net vs not-.Net. The reason I say that is becuase in my view its too much to be both and .Net is a hard-core as you want it to be.
Which universe to choose is hard for some, for me it was easy... .Net
Reply:You might try expanding a bit by learning some C#.Net, since you seem to already have a good handle on C++ and are learning SQL. Web applications may not be your end goal, but it will broaden your marketability, I think.

Hello,
I am an Hr executive, myself - I will try my level best to help you out.
You have worked in telecom domain for 5 years; 3 years in Quality Assurance. These things are the positive aspects of your qualification. More than that your knowledge on languages, networking are also advantages for you.
As far as negative effects are concerned, you have been moving around various domains which is a negative point.
Ok, I will recommend you to
first, do some professional certifications like
a.) Testing - because you are a experienced QA or
b.) Networking certifications like CCNA, MCSE etc; or
c.) Some certifications on Embedded technologies.
I personally feel these are the fields that will suit you, better.
As far as grade or level is concerned I think if you get a good opening you might posted in level 3 or grade 3, which will be like Teamlead or Project lead etc;
Please don't leave the current job; do some learning and complete certifications by choosing any one field then start searching for a good job in IT industry. I feel it will work well.
All the best!

In need of a special project at work - any ideas?
I am a licensed insurance agent (life and P%26amp;C), working at a very small insurance company in California, and I am making $10/per hour, roughly less than half of the average pay for someone of my certifications in my area. I recently read an article stating that a good way to get a raise is to lead a special project that really shows results. The thing is, while I would be more than willing to lead such a project, I am more than a little discouraged by the fact that I can't actually think of such a project. Even if I lead a project, it will be the person who brings the IDEA of the project up, that gets a raise.
I want that person to be me.
Any ideas on a special project that can help increase business in our agency?
In need of a special project at work - any ideas?
I have a similar question that maybe you can give some light.
I want to be rich, first part is done, now I just need to know how...?
Reply:Since you sell life insurance, head up a health fair. Have all kinds of vendors come, they always give out freebies..have someone doing a blood pressure screening, or any other screenings that can be done on site. Research online on what kinds of activities to include in a health fair.
Or a safety fair, with the same types of things only related to safety...defensive driving, first aid advice, preventing injuries...
Reply:no im really not sure maybe you could talk with a co worker and come up with an idea togehter

You have work experiance so the degree may not be as important.

Reply:Lie. If you can do the job, have the experience, and can get good references, they will never check. If your credentials come into question (say, you really screw up) then they will check. Lying on your resume is a reason for firing, but not for hiring.
Reply:Yes you can get a job. Though it may not be the same one. Alot of places wont even look at somone with experience if they dont have that peice of paper. Its amazing how much a piece of paper that means so little can be worth so much.
Reply:you will not get the same exact job you have with no degree...you can get a job without a diploma, however you will probably have to work harder to move up in the company, alot of large firms require that you have a degree or a diploma to work for them, so it would be essential for you to get one. good luck!

Reply:You should stay in Europe and keep on the good work. When you are more experienced you do not need any graduation or certificates.
Reply:It depends on the company, but there is no standard. You can get a job without a degree usually, since it is your experience as well that is looked at. But again, from company to company it will vary what they want.

I want to learn how to design websites???
I'm wanting to learn how to create professional websites? I used to create basic ones as a kid, so i'm alittle familier with html but thats about it. I'm wondering, whats the best way to learn how to create professional business sites? Are there certifications at local colleges I should go to or any online certificates or classes I could do? Are there books out there that teach you? What do you need to know these days, like cgi, java, c++ etc?? Also, I'd like to know what programs people use these days, like frontpage, adobe etc%26gt;?? I don't know where to go to learn this. Any information would be great. Also, any details from people designing sites, like if they stay busy, make good money e tc? I really like computers and designing things so I think I would really enjoy this. Any information would be great. Thanks and happy holidays everyone.
I want to learn how to design websites???
designing websites is soo fun! I took a class in school a few months ago. once you get the hang of it, it is really easy, and goes really fast.
Reply:With the way that the web and programming have evolved, I think there are multiple answers to this. I think you should consider which aspect of creating websites interests you the most.
If it's the aesthetic (visual) design, then I would focus on a graphic arts type of degree. You can probably find one that focuses on web technology. There are a lot of graphic design tools being used out there that take some experience to operate.
There is another side to this, which is the programming that websites implement. If that interests you, I would get a computer science (programming) degree of some sort. These technologies are getting very sophisticated/complicated and require study to be any good at them. (C#, ASP, Java, php, plus a ton of other high level tools like WebMethods)
The final answer would is to be a self-taught, free-lancing, jack of all trades type that can do a little of everything. In this case...read books. Read as many as you can.
Reply:If you would like to learn how to design websites, I'd suggest that you read some books on the type of programming that you'd be interested in doing.
Also, there are some resources online that you may like to check out by searching for whatever language that you're trying to learn.
Another thing that you may want to try would be using FrontPage and other programs that are similar and allow you to design websites.
Good luck and i hope I helped you!

I feel you...because most go through life working to pay the bills...but they put their passion on hold for the rest of their life because 1. They don't know what they want...and 2.
