Sorry to steal the thread here, but I have some questions regarding to the computing programs offered by BCIT.

I always had interest in developing web application software, but my programming knowledge/skills is very minimal. Basically, I want to learn about Java, PHP, objective, CSS, HTML, etc.

Given that I have some prior experience with C/C++/OOP from my EE degree (not fluent at all though; might have forgotten some of it) , then does anyone recommend the part-time studies program? (The Applied Software Development ASD certificate + Web Application Software Development WASD certificate)

Or is the alternative full time, 30-week, fast track program a good choice? (Software Systems Developer -Web Programmer Option certificate)

OR should I actually go through the full CST program?

For most software developer jobs, is there a big difference between the certificate and the diploma? Given that I plan to apply for entry developer positions in the future?

If anyone who has been through the program can offer some suggestions/provide info, then that'll be great. TIA!
