[olug] advice on UNO computer science degree

[CM Miller]

True, you never too old to learn, but I disagree with
the Metro statement.  What is your background?  Or
what is your degree in?  

I bet you'll have to do some brushing up on math and
programming just like me to cut it in the MIS program.
 Some of the UNO classes that I've taken they thrown
you in to C++, Cobol, UNIX, and database design.  Most
of the teachers assume you have has
experience/knowledge since you are in that program. 

Metro ain't the greatest, but it has given me somewhat
of an edge over others...
