Poly IT course?
-
Is it good?
I hear people saying IT industry no good...no good jobs, all snatched by pros from India etc...
SO is it worth going IT course and will I get a job in the IT industry? or should I just go accounting etc. -
Dude, I was exactly like you 1.5 years ago. Choosing between accounting and IT courses.
I chose accounting in the end.
-
It depends. There is a market for everything. The thing is to emerge the best of the whole. Thats where you will get the job and not follow the crowd.
-
The polys would not come with these courses if there's no industrial demand
But end of the day, it's up to you yourself to decide -
I scare tio pwnz
i want to get into the web industry...as in making websites, etc
I am looking at the course in NYP, "Multimedia & Infocomm Technology" -
Another thing is...
I don't know to select courses like
Business Enterprise IT, Business Informatics..
Business Enterprise might be the one I am looknig for, but it still lacks the things I want to learn. The multimedia & infocomm technology got more of the things I wan to do... -
choose the one which you are interested in
no point choosing a course just becoz it's easier to find jobs in that indsurty.. -
Have you ever thought of going for other discipline like Eng or Biz?
Who knows, you might end up also having a like for these courses -

I advised u to think twice b4 taking up this course. Its not all multimedia. Many engineering modules which will drive u nuts.
If you want to do designing, do consider digital media design at NYP. Else, if you want to take specialise in programming, MIT or IT is for you provided you specialised in web based products and services in Year 3. -
what kind of engineering modules? mind specifying it here? and what do you really do there o.OOriginally posted by chillz88:Hey.. i was from that course from 2002 - 2005.

if don't go for this course, what course you recommend? -
The web industry is very dynamic, much like any of the IT fields out there. It's not just about HTML and stuff, the website you create needs to be very dynamic, user-friendly, yet at the same, do what it's supposed to do.Originally posted by Y_Shun:I scare tio pwnz

This includes the usage of several web technologies like JavaScript, Ajax, streaming multimedia, web server technologies, etc.
The web industry has progressed a lot since it has borned. From static HTML pages, to incorporating CSS to make the site nicer, and to now Web 2.0.
Ask yourself if it's really something you want to do. There's a lot to learn for Web, sometimes you basically have to unlearn what you've learnt.
HTML is easy, but if your HTML coding practices are bad, once you move on to a newer web technology, say XHTML, you will find yourself re-learning everything, as well as unlearning everything.
If it doesn't unfaze you, then you can consider it. It's one of the best fields out there if you know your stuff well.

MIT got 4 specialisation:
Web based products and services
Networking
Interactive Media
+ 1 more i forgot ...
i got into web based p & s..
Basically, I learned Java technology, JSP web programming, Database, mySQL, SQL, etc etc.. However, do take note, its not very in dept though. Just the basic stuffs. Side module which u can take up includes entrepreneurship, marketing and IT Security.
For Int. Media, you will learn some design and 3D design (not animation!).
