| 303726 | 2004-12-16 04:48:00 | Hi fellow F1ers, I am looking at doing some home study next year, wanting to learn more about becoming an IT and what I should learn. Should I learn PHP now? Or do ASP.Net. Or should I learn .Net before I do ASP? Java2 or C++? I would like to know your thoughts on what I should learn first and aim to learn later when I am more experienced. Also if there are other languages or stuff I have not mentioned but would be worthwhile to learn, please comment too. Thanks, |

| 303728 | 2004-12-16 04:55:00 | The question is - Where in IT would you like to go? Not much point learning a language if you dont ever seeing yourself programming.... Why become MCSE if you're going to support Unix boxes... Why get CCNA if you're going to be a Web Developer in PHP or ASP etc?! |

| 303730 | 2004-12-16 05:02:00 | Okay, I can see myself in the future repairing computers, mainly microsoft and linux. Also setting up corporate networks, and creating custom applications for businesses. I don't expect to create software like Photoshop or XP, but applications that would be useful for computers on a network like scheduling software etc. Doing computer repair would be expected for all IT Technicians, so should learn something there. |

| 303732 | 2004-12-16 05:40:00 | I would look at doing an A+ course and learning a scripting laungauge like perl. | robsonde (120) | ||
| 303733 | 2004-12-16 06:12:00 | Start approaching companies asking them for work experience. You will learn more this way and you will get a "feel" for what area you want to specialise in. | b1naryb0y (3) | ||
| 303734 | 2004-12-16 06:16:00 | I'd start basic (eg A+ (not that thats all that basic), and then once you've got a good idea of what you want to do then move on up :) |
