Finally got eval back advice wanted BACS TESU
#1
Got my eval back and I'm going to have to admit, Brian at TESU is on the ball helping me with all the questions I have in regards to my classes and eval's, very fast and friendly!  Several classes I have in Criminal Justice ended up moving into slots I didn't know about so I am a lot further along than I thought.  With that being said I've attached my current eval and classes I have coming up.  I am wanting advice on the 2 General Education classes still needed.  I was thinking Western Civilizations I & II at SL.com but am open to pretty much anything (not to worried about cost).  I would prefer for it to be on SL.com if possible since I really like their format or if there is another similar format.

For the Computer Science Elective required courses if anyone has any other suggestions here I'd like to see them as well.  I'd really like to get more programming courses if possible (php, mysql, python, ruby) would be fun.  

Also, I'd like to thank bjcheung77 for his BACS plan I got most of my information from there.

For the CS elective, what about SL's C++ class?

For the Gen Ed elective there are a ton of options. I haven't personally taken anything at SL so can't recommend what would be fastest.

Only issue with SL's C++ class is I would need to ditch either the C or Java class and I really want the Java so it'd have to be C. Maybe someone familiar with both could chime in on which one should be looked at more and potentially help more down the line C or C++?

Hmm, you can take the two courses Western Civilizations I & II at SL.com OR, you can take the SL's C++ class and another course, maybe Fundamentals of IT.  All four are "general education" courses you can use as gen ed electives or comp science electives.  My recommendation is to take more computer science courses from Study.com - I am taking everything Study.com has for CIS/CS, especially the Upper Level courses.  Since you're going to get into Comp Sci, I would take as many as you can, so you get more familiar with those programming languages that you're interested in... for example, you can ditch the Western Civ I&II in favor of the two comp science courses instead.

C++ is more marketable, and it's sort of a superset of C, anyway, so if you learn C++, you'll understand C to an extent. Ideally, you'd learn both, but you would only use C in an embedded micro-controller type of environment.

C (and C++) are still used in game development as well. I've developed a lot of online games and infrastructure, and most of the time the server-side code is in C while the client code is in C++. But I agree, if you learn C++ you'll learn C as well, but unless you know the differences between them, you won't be able to write standalone C applications.

I'm old school, so I learned C before C++ and tend to default to C when I'm writing something quick and dirty... at least when a scripting language won't do what I want.

Cant go wrong with C. With all the hype around IoT and Robotics if you go into the microcontroller side of things there is money to be made since many devs struggle with writing efficent C code these days.

C and Java are good choices.
