I took a lot of courses back in the 2000s (my 20-30 something years). It was VB, C ++, C # and maybe something else (I forgot.). Anyway, my grades were decent - but I never pursued programming. Instead, I got into math and web development. Anyway, I forgot to mention the tons of self-study I did with programming. Who has tried that? I read tons of books on the subject - also in the 2000s.
So who else has taken courses or did self study? Did it help?
Oh, I forgot to mention the Python classes I took in the 2010s. However, I had a tough time with that one. The instructor wasn't so good - though a nice man.
