    Something about sandwiches


    Hi folks,

    Just putting this out there to see if I can get some info that suits me.

    Basically, I want to do programming. I did an Ordinary Degree in Carlow IT which had some programming in it, for example, C/C++, Perl, Html/PHP which I liked and did pretty well in. I got 95% overal in my first year in C, including prject, and got high enough scores in 2nd and 3rd year for VB6 and PHP with MySQL backend, but I finished this course about 4 years ago!

    So anyway, programming is what I'd like to do. Chances are, I'll need an Honours Degree and get up to speed on the latest technologies etc, so since I live in tallaght I figured why not see what my options are in the local IT.

    Can anyone tell me if i can jump directly into the final year, or even the 3rd year? Or is there a part time course where I can work and still get the programming degree at night/weekends maybe?

    Cheers for any help.
