That's cool that you're going back to school to learn CS. Can I ask how old you are? It's something I've thought about, but I'm 33, and at some point you have to accept your skill set and focus on your strengths. If I was 23, I would probably try to learn programming.
That sort of talk usually prompts a bunch of people to say - hey - you can teach yourself to be quite decent in just 6 months! Possibly true - but that requires a lot of spare time that I don't have. Also, there's no way I would have been able to build Satago with 6months of experience.
In fact I briefly tried and started blogging about it: http://newbiehacker.wordpress.com/ http://newbiehacker.wordpress.com/

- gotrecruit 13y agoi'm 27 this year, and i too consider myself very old to return to school. unfortunately, i'm also a foreigner (to US) and the only viable way i can continue pursuing a startup in the US, where i want to be, is to return as a student. so i guess there are a few different reasons i choose to return to school, including getting a visa as well as pursuing technical knowledge. if i was allowed to return on a different visa, i would not choose to go back to sch for CS and would instead learn these stuff on my own. unfortunately, i was denied such a visa and thus... here we are.
