Hi, everyone.
Can anybody give me a little advice? I am looking to become a web designer, with the possibility of learning some back-end stuff after I start working.
I know that a lot of web designers are self-taught, and I may go that route, at least in part.
Assuming, however that I am looking at a choice between several junior college Associates in Science degrees, however, which of the following programs do you think would be most useful in helping me to learn web design as it is done in the real world?
=========================================
FIRST PROGRAM
CGS 2820C Web dev and design
