Hello to all techist users! My name is Justin and I am currently an aspiring Computer Science Student. I stumbled across this site today and I am glad I will be able to network myself with people who are clearly much more experienced than I am. Before I begin school in February 2016, I plan to utilize numerous websites online to teach myself how to code.
I did have a question if someone could help me out: as far as the CompTIA and Cisco certifications such as Net+, CCNA, Sec+, etc, are those certifications worth obtaining and maintaining while studying computer science or will my future knowledge in programming and the degree be a better option.
Secondly, I have a $3000 dollar budget for a new laptop. I have done some research and I have found the Touchpad T440/450/450S are all great versatile machines. Others tell me a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro being able to utilize unix and running a VMware and running the Microsoft OS when needed. If you all could give me your opinions on which route you would decide for your school/work computer.
Thank you!
