<li>No, you’d be wasting your (and the taxpayers) time and money doing so and would not benefit you.</li>
<li>Yes</li>

<p>FYI: DVC and De Anza are not city colleges, they are in boring bay area burbs. </p>
<p>If you haven’t taken your C++, I’d recommend Burns for Intro to Programming and Programming Design and Data Structures taught at DVC and can be taken online. Burns can be a bit gruff at times but is patient, professional, highly intelligent, and will break you in by teaching you programming as taught on the UC level. </p>
<p>If you are close to Pleasant Hell and haven’t taken your Intro to CS or Unix/Linux yet, I’d recommend Fogg, who is an ol school Berkeley hippie computer guru and nice guy.</p>
<p>I think the Mary at De Anza for VB.net is better than the menopausal nutcase teaching it at DVC unless she left or finally fired. There are also top notch CS teachers at Foothill, DA’s sister school with many available online classes.</p>
<p>Best of luck but I had to lol at this pompous ignorant statement though…“I have a mastery level of proficiency in web design–I realized I need a broader community with vastly knowledged and brilliant people. Furthermore, to achieve more of a professional status, I figured I had to advance to a great school.” BAHAHAHHAHAHAHA…lame</p>
