Hello there people, has anyone any tips on how to break into the software development industry? I've been into programming for years but only have experience in vba and bits of vb and my dream job is to be in software development and it has been for the last 15 yrs but I just can't seem to get in there.
I never finished my degree in computer science (one of my biggest regrets) and have looked into jumping straight onto a masters course but have also looked at doing an intensive MCAD or MCSD course which (although a hefty cost) I would be prepared to do if it meant I would have a good chance of getting into the industry.
I'm currently learning java through an open university course, trouble is I don't want to spend the next 3-4 yrs doing a masters if it prob won't get me anywhere anyway. Does anyone know if doing a MCAD/MCSD course will actually help me get started in the industry?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
