This does not truly pertain to FreeBSD in itself, for which i do apologize, I'm re-posting this from another list I belong too, for the purpose of getting a larger response base. Thanks... Hello Everyone; I'm putting this out in the hopes that some of you could help me in making a decision regarding the most appropriate facility to attend with regards to Computer Studies. Due to many variables at the present time, it is unlikely that I will be able to accomplish certain goals I had set my sights on, so I have decided I may as well take the plunge and go back to school. It is obvious to me, after spending some time reading The C Programing Language, and the fact that cryptology has been a sort of "hobby" in a general way, as well as my passion for computers and the technology behind it, that grows every increasingly everyday, that there is so much more involved with the underlying technology behind computers that I wish to explore, and simply learning how to program in a particular language, or any language for that matter, which in itself is quite gratifying once the skill is learned, would not accomplish what it is I am after learning. So after years of back pedaling, excuses etc etc..., I'm trying to find an appropriate facility where I may accomplish the above. So first off, What is if any, the more "better" facility to attend? There are all sorts of University's, Colleges and Tech Schools around that offer everything from computer science to programing too applications etc. etc. I have been looking at Simon Frazer U out in Burnaby, which has a lovely location atop a mountain with a beautiful view of the Frazer river area :), but also there are a couple "pure" tech schools out that way, and numerous other colleges and University's that all offer some form of computer studies. Computer Science would be my preference if anything, but it has been so many years for me away from a learning institute, that I'm quite sure so much has changed with them, that I'm not in a position to make any type of "proper" choice with regards to a more appropriate place to attend. Secondly would be, what type of courses should I be looking at to get me up too speed for attending such computer based courses themselves? Any info or direction you could offer would be most welcome. Once again, thanking you in advance; David PS: I've noticed, that in computer studies there is lots of writing to be done in explaining actions or programs etc., so I figured I would start getting into it here :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
