Skandranon posted:They don't have much in common structurally. Java is purely OO based, C++ has objects bolted on, and Python only kinda. Java is compiled to bytecode to run on a VM, C++ is compiled to the specific OS/CPU architecture, and I don't know what Python does. Just want to chime in and say gently caress python's self._boogers __init__ __str__ nonsense. It was a nice program to the basics of computer functions, but once it gets in to OOP, it falls apart. It made so much more sense within 4 chapters of Beginner's Java.

I'm in kind of a pickle, and I don't know where else to ask this, so if this is a bad post, let me know. I'm in IT and I'm about to get my job "transitioned" out of the country. I've got a nice long bunch of months before we completely transition away. I'm clueless about what to do. I have a minor in CS from UT, aka Software Dev for dummies, and I started the WGU Software Dev course years ago. I might be embarassingly close to finishing it, but I washed out from a combination of lack of funds, taking too many goddamn Database classes, and making money in IT. I don't really want to get back in to IT, even though I could probably make plenty of money at it. I'm going to have a nice little severance package, so I can afford to take several pathways. What would you do? A. Go back to WGU and finish the degree B. Take a Full-Stack bootcamp (i'm out of the door in 7 months) C. Go back to working IT, you scrub, you never had the makings of a varsity athlete

ultrafilter posted:Do you have a degree already? How close are you to finishing the WGU software dev track? Liberal Arts degree. CS Minor. I think 2-3 semesters left at WGU? They don't let you look at your student portal if you aren't enrolled.
