Brian’s Answer

As a hiring manager, after you get your first job out of college, I look at work experience *much* more than the school you attended. As you are evaluating universities, I would lean towards those that have good internship programs for their students. Being in a top-tier university can help you with that initial job, but on-the-job experience will matter much more than which university you attend.

Hemraj has listed some great resources.


Keep in mind that programming changes .. one year c++ is the hot language, the next year java is hot.


Develop good, sound programming practices first, then let the language follow.
