    If you want bragging rights, go to MIT or CalTech.

    If you want to have uber leetzor programming skills, don't go to a school to learn them. Programming is one of those things you should learn mostly on your own.

    Try learning programming in your free time. If you can, you are suitable for a tech school. Programming (and everything it involves) is a very ********* subject, so you've got to be relatively smart to even stand a chance of becoming knowledgeable.

    Who here went to a tech school? I'm *6 and haven't had barely any formal education in computers, and I believe Moonbat is also self-taught. Syntax****** perhaps has some qualifications, but he seems to be learning a lot on his own. JayT is most likely a mixture of self-sufficiency and college/university education.

    The best programmers/hackers are undoubtedly the ones that are self-taught, regardless of whether they learned everything from scratch or took programming classes and learned after that. Other people's knowledge can only get you so far.

    I would recommend going visit the colleges you would like to attend. Meet with teachers and deans. Know what you are getting yourself into before you dedicate 4-8 years of your life to one school.

    The teachers make the world of a difference, not the public reputation of the school. My local college is supposedly one of the best in technological advances and teachings. BS! The teachers do not speak English, and if they do I havnt figured it out yet. I changed my majors from computer engineering to management just because of the teachers in the field.

    You are probably young, do not rush. You have forever, and forever is short compared to a temporary hell. So take your time and find the right college.

    well i am trying to learn on my own but i dont have much free time at the moment cuz i have band pratice and gigs and i have school

    but even if i did learn a lot on my own i would still like 2 go 2 a tech school just so i can ut it on my application for a job cuz i kno it would help

    my uncle went 2 mit and is awesome with computers but like he pointed out technology changes everyday and he has been outta the game for a few years so he wouldnt even kno all the stuff that people have came out with so askin him to teach me would be pointless

    thats why i joined this forum in hopes that i might learn somethin and i have

    i myself couldnt make it into mit cuz of my gpa but i was thinking like itt or virginia tech??

    but thank you all i will definetly consider what uve said.

    so how did u guys get into programming and learn all of what u know do u guys have any good tips for a pathetic newb????

    ITT wouldn't be a bad option if your grades aren't too good. Have you looked up DeVry?

    As to how I got into programming, I actually started out with SCAR scripting trying to make auto-miners and auto-smelters for RuneScape. Yes, I used to play RuneScape, and I still cry every time I remember how much of my life I wasted as a gaymer.

    Anyways, after that I started learning languages like HTML and JavaScript so I could learn how to make a website. From there, I started getting into PHP (seeing at how essential is was), and started learning C++ thanks to a free book given to me by a friend.

    As I started going more from regular programming into hacking, I kept learning more and more. Just find whatever intrests you and work it. Programming is one of those that you either like it a lot or you hate it with your guts.

    For me, too much free time and an underlying interest.

    Yeah, put simply it's a concept that allows pages to be interactive and reduces the amount of full-page loads, among other things. It's a method of programming, rather than an independent language.

    Asynchronous Javascript And XML -- AJAX.

    ADDITIONALLY, 80&#*7; of the time, you will not be able to teach yourself how to program through web tutorials unless you can easily grasp concepts of what you are trying to learn, and you don't get distracted easily.
    This is true. At least for lower-level programming, you have to be pretty smart in the first place to stand a chance of becoming knowledgeable.

    I have seen exceptions to this though.

    The scripting languages we're talking about are independent of operating system, so you could write a website on a Mac just as easily as on a PC. All you need is a text editor and an FTP client.
