Quote:Original post by PurochYou won't find a school that teaches you everything about software development. They'll teach you about CS, the theoretical side of it, with a sprinkling of projects here and there, but no considerable "real-world" development. At my job I'm relying on both my university education _and_ stuff I learned in high school on my own time.
That's where I run into my problem. I've applied for Internships, and they turn me down, because I don't have enough programming skills. I'm not looking for the best school EVER. I just want one that's going to get me a job, and teach me the things I need to know in order to do that. SO that is why I ask this question.
I recommend spending time on your own working on projects. Doesn't matter what, just something interesting and of reasonable difficulty. When discussing my resume interviewers spent 90% of their time on the projects I listed.
