Ok. I've been a web developer for 16 months now. I develop in PHP, MySQL, HTML and CSS with a little bit of JavaScript. It's all self taught however and I'm finding that since it's all self taught, no other company out there wants to take a chance me (I've actually had one employer tell me that it's nice that I've been able to teach myself PHP and MySQL but it doesn't mean that I know much of anything about them).
So I decided to check into the local community college and see what they offer for actual web development courses. They have a Web Programmer Certificate course that I wouldn't mind taking but the first language you learn is C++. Although I wouldn't mind learning C++ as I only currently have a very basic understanding of it, I have to wonder what they're thinking with putting that into a web development course. I don't recall seeing web development jobs posted that want someone that knows C++ as apposed to C# or Java.
I'll probably take the course if I can work out financing because the second language you get to learn is Java but I'm just wondering what other people think of C++ as far as web development is concerned.
