xroad23188yI've got a degree in electrical engineering but most of what I know is self taught.
I think there are enough resources out there to where you can learn more than if you went to college. ITunes U helped me a lot -
Perhaps a coding school. Not the 5 day type but the 6 month or so type. Like ironyard or others. I teach at a software school and we have a very high rate of hires after attending. Most of these schools have an average cost of around 11,000.

Tonyobyo3128y@georgelynch and I figured community college for financial aid. I would attend or not depending on price. However, which do you teach at?

Tonyobyo3128y@xroad I use iTunes U for creative writing and what not. Seems to be picking up in popularity though. I'll definitely look into it!

xroad23188y@Tonyobyo91 I honestly owe my career to Stanford and iTunes U. It's great for people who need structure and that classroom-type learning

hax0r2518yThere's also Coursera, EdEx and Udacity that offer degree tracks if want to do something completely online. The ability to get feedback from professors is nice.

Tonyobyo3128y@hax0r I agree. My degree is from Full Sail University and it was there online program.
So I don't mind solo online learning, it's just nice to have an instructor to get feedback from. Of course, with a good programming community, it can be even better
Have a BS in Web Design & Development from a university...but am wondering if I should go attend a community college and get a degree in programming too.
I feel like YouTube and Lynda would serve me just as well also...
