   Is the online Comp Programmer course...
  Is the online Computer Programmer course even worth taking? I need to start somewhere and as I have a full time job and a family, I cannot drop it to go to school full time. Would this course give me the computer programming fundamentals or would it be a waste of time and money? The course that I am looking at is offered out of The Stratford Institute of Technology. No burns plz.   
  I'm not familiar with it, but in general the utility of actual courses like that depend on your ability to learn on your own. If you know you have trouble disciplining yourself to read books and do sample problems on your own, and/or you know you prefer directed learning supervised by a third party, then it might be worth it for you.If you're comfortable doing things on your own, that's just as viable a learning path.
