Has anyone taken a coding course at college or university after school? What are or were you hoping to achieve by taking the qualification? Was there a job offer in the pipeline if you passed?

 

Some would say it would be a waste of time and money unless you financially benefit from it later on in life. A lot of people take niche qualifications but don’t pursue the career.

Yeah,You know that brother,now safe your money dont waste it and take online course now

It is not fair to quickly dismiss a college course as a waste of time and money. Some take it to position themselves for better opportunities.

Computer was one of the elective course in our school and we were taught QBASIC and Flowchart. But sadly I was not much interested in programing back then.

I think this is basically a question of who is naturally talented in the area of programming and who is not. For those that are, college level classes in respect to programming are almost always a waste of time and can, depending on the professor, actually teach you more bad habits than good. Some of the best dev's I have ever worked with were completely self taught. I fall into the self taught category. For those that do not pick it up as easily then class work in a structured environment can be a huge help. The part that most of those folks struggle with is the parts of learning programming that are abstract concepts such as design patterns, theory etc.
