Agree. If the author agree with the idea of getting degree then we can figure out what subjects are required. By the short answer I just wanted to let you know my opinion, that it's very hard to get into programming without spending some time learning these subjects.
- dagw 16y agoI think the importance of a degree is very dependant on what your goal of getting into programming is. If your ambition is to one day be a senior engineer at a cutting edge software firm, then yes, a CS degree is probably time well spent. If on the other hand your ambition is simply to learn how to hack together handy utilities to make your current (non-programming) job easier then a CS degree is probably a complete waste of time.
- skowmunk 16y agoI don't mean to gang up on you, but if it helps in breaking your self-imposed constraints on yourself - to become an expert in something, or even understand something, one doesn't HAVE to go to a university. There are lots of university grads who are experts in nothing. There are lots of experts in this world who became experts in different areas even when they never put a step in college. Agreed.. university education, is definitely one of the many ways to accumulate knowledge. Its just that, its not the only way.
