Hi all
I'm a scientist by trade, a bit long in the tooth, so much so that Computing wasn't taught in school back then. Late in life (well, I'm 47... not that late) I've come to realise computing is very much for me. I've used it in my job (building databases with MS Excel and Access) and I'm always the IT go-to. But I've realised that's always the highlight of my day, and that's how my brain naturally works. I've started a formal qualification through the Open University (UK online provider), and would love to take it further. But I feel I'm a long way behind... Well, here's hoping. Would welcome advice on what qualifications would be good to have, what programming languages are in demand, and whether anyone out there has got into Arduino? Is it worth it?
