Hi, I'm thinking about doing the 1 year Web Developement course at CTU. Is there anyone on the forums who have done a course at CTU?

I can't find much out about them except for their website.

I think this is the right place to post.. :p
 
lol seymour does have a bit of a point
web development isn't rocket science - you just need to practice and do a lot of your own projects. it's the best way to learn.

but about CTU, sorry mate, I've never dealt with them
 
Jip. Teaching yourself is quite easy, and there's a lot op peeps on myBB that will gladly point you in the right direction when you get stuck.

Get yourself a website to play with (mine costs me R15 a month)... and there you go. :)
 
Well buying a book and teaching myself might be cheaper, but it doesn't give me a certificate and qualify me :p That's probably the most important seeing as I'm looking to do this as a career :)
 
Well no, I just finished matric this year and i thought web development would be a cool career.. and CTU looks like a good place to start.
 
When it comes to web development its very wide spread you need to decide what type of platform you want to code for, and also what framework you might be comfortable with. If you are wanting to use microsoft tenchnologies, you will need to go the windows route, these would include asp.net, ms sql etc.

Then you can go the linux route and those are your django, rub on rails, perl etc. Alot of people like this because django and python is fast, ruby on rails was pretty much the first true ajax orientated framework. Ruby personally is my favourite, it uses the MVC architecture.

www.djangoproject.com
 
I won't recommend he freelance. I've fixed (and seen) too many n00b ****ups. Usually to do with people not willing to spend the money on a decent application (or they do) and get **** in return that can't grow with their business.

Having said that. If I were you I'd do the course and waste your time. At least you'll get some boring dude talking infront of the class pretending to know **** and "teach" you the basics.

I'd, however, try and get an entry level job somewhere to do with programming. But it helps to know a bit from a byte etc

I'd say M$ technology is the best bet going forward, easy to learn and understand and then spread out to different technologies. c# etc

However, If I were you I'd do LAMP (go look it up) but if you're a programmer it doesn't really matter in WHAT language you program in, most decent "worth their salt" programmers can pick up a language and run with it.

Enjoy your student life while you have it dude
