C# Development study advice

[DarkStorm]

This is how I have been learning. That, and some good devs that help out if I am to really mess something up(luckily hasn't happened yet)

Write a lot of code to learn how to write good code. Make mistakes and solve problems.

This ^^... Think i must first try this and do & practice some coding examples and see if i like doing it, and get to grips with whole problem solving thinking and writing code for it.

Thanks for all the advice / replies / support guys, really appreciate it. From all the feedback it seems majority for "no regrets later " goes to go and a Bsc CS.

And that something like the ND from CPUT on it's own wont be sufficient enough, minimum Btech..and that just going to do C# and knowing one language won't really be sufficient enough.

I will have to go think long and hard about Bsc. CS since it is incredibly challenging(especially the maths) and expensive as well at UCT.

My maths aint bad, but not 75 - 80% either.

The math looks terrifying to be honest.

Its not that bad.

I finished a BSc in Computer Science and Pure Maths at Wits a couple years ago. First of all the maths isn't THAT bad, but it's not easy. There are some very abstract principles that can be difficult to understand, but if you get a good understanding of the basics then everything falls into place.

Anyway, with my degree, I am a (predominantly) C# dev and do some front end web stuff as well. Neither of which I learned during the degree (I did teach myself front end web dev during the degree though).

Anyway it is expensive, and unfortunately not everyone can afford to do it, but if you can do it, work very hard as each time you repeat the costs will just add up!

Good luck!
