Currently in college seeking a Computer Information Systems degree (Bachelor of Science). I will then continue into the Masters' program. I've taken courses on Database Systems, Decision Support Systems and Warehouse Management, Programming and Algorithms, Advanced Algorithms, Assembly Language (Motorola 68000), Operating Systems (Win32/POSIX), Systems Analysis, and Software Engineering (I'm sure I'm missing a couple from early college and high school... Pascal, VB, etc., but whatev). When I get my first degree, I will have added Artificial Intelligence, Systems Design, and Distributed Computing to that list. However--I have not been taught one lick of PHP in college. Then again, I think the language has very little to do with the program's power; it's mostly up to the programmer and his/her methods.
