Great! Having completed a BA, I am starting a conversion MSc in CompSci at UCL this September and I was burning to ask someone in the IT industry exactly these questions. And cheers Joachim for the encouragement.
I have never worked for a computer company but I have taught myself object-oriented and web programming (Python/Django, Javascript, PHP). I can also do a little Java but I am not great. On the course we will do lots of Java and I'm hoping to learn or teach myself to do object-relational mapping, i.e. Spring & Hibernate.
I am sometimes wondering if I will make a big mistake by spending even more money on university. What do you guys think? How hard is it to get a job after these sorts of courses? Does it matter that I don't have much experience?
I'm totally into computers and programming and would love to work in this industry.
