Hi HN,<p>I was wondering if you could provide some suggestions to a 30 year old sysadmin team lead who wants to gain a university based education in a related field (part-time)?<p>I currently do not hold any formal IT based qualifications (pending graduation of a diploma in network engineering from Tafe NSW Australia). I have over 12 years experience and work history that got me a work visa in the USA.<p>The ideal course would cover a moderate amount of programing / software development units, management units & project management. Any sysadmin type units would be nice too as they would hopefully get me some easier credits.<p>Ideally I would like to be able to complete the course work online, however a local presence in the SF bay area would be great for when I am stuck on some course work or want to get into a different environment to focus on my studies.<p>Can anyone recommend a "good" education provider with course/s that meets my needs that is not going to cost over a 50k USD?
Two questions:<p>1. What do you want to learn? Sysadmin stuff? Software development? Something else?<p>2. Is your goal pure "learning", or is your goal to get some kind of degree/certification to put on your CV?
