After being "about that life" and fukking up a lot, I finally mellowed out and I'm getting my AS in Computer Science in December. Should I get them certs as well?
I was thinking of starting to study for the A+ unless you think networking certs will open more opportunities?
SinceYou should aim for the A+ because it is cheaper and the course is more versatile than the Network+ course. I know this because I completed both courses in my program of study. Get into a class that will will prepare you for both 801 and 802 A+ exam. You can still study the fundamental of network in your program of study and whatever, you learn from the network course, but that in your resume.After being "about that life" and fukking up a lot, I finally mellowed out and I'm getting my AS in Computer Science in December.

Depends on what you want to do and if you have any experience.
If you're looking to go into the programming side of things I wouldn't bother with certs. Just make sure you know at least one programming language well and try to have some projects you can reference.
If you're going more into the IT side of things (support, networking, servers, etc.) then yeah, get them certs. I'd start with A+ and Network+ and then start applying for IT support/helpdesk jobs and work your way up. Truth of the matter is you're not gonna start out as a Network Admin, you gotta get some experience first.
Also, since you're getting your degree, try to network with some of the people who teach IT/Computer Science to see if they know about any job openings. A lot of the people that teach IT at colleges (especially community colleges) used to work in the industry (or still do) and have a lot of contacts that might be able to hook you up.
Also, make sure that resume is on point.

Can anyone post a link where I can download some operating system
I've been doing a bit of studying on Java and C#... Actually helps me understand what is going on in Javascript's object orientation. Javascript has no class-based inheritance, so you will often see emulations of it using the prototypal system.
Which ones you want? If you go to Microsoft TechNet you can get 90 day evaluations of their OSes.

for all the programmers on here, anyone know any good reference material online that's free? i'm just getting started in school- and i have started studying html5, css and currently in javascript.
any material that i can use to help me study and potentially quiz myself will be greatly appreciated.
also, i am just curious, how long did it take for you to get comfortable coding? man this stuff feels like it will take many months maybe years for me lol i'm in it for the long haul though.
i can see why programmers get their respect and salaries they command

Glad I found this. Just getting into html and css.
Find programming assignments online and do those. Read other peoples code too.
I'm leaps and bounds better than I was just a year ago.
and here's a hands-on codeacademy tutorial for javascript

brehs i need some advice. so as some of you know i've been work for IBM as 1/1.5st line support for almost 6 months now, not going to lie shyt was abit hard at first but i rode it out and stayed. this week is the first time i've felt that im starting to getting angry at work some of these customers piss me off, seriously i know now why people said helpdesk is hell. nikkas will bytch complaining about everything to you even though 99% shyt is out of your hands worst part is since we at helpdesk are first point of contact we get to take ALL the shyt and get paid the worst . Thank god shyt is b2b or i would probably had committed suicide now nikkas think just because they are customers they can demand anything, during a couple of calls this week in my head I've been like "nikka who the fukk do you think you're talking to
". on top of that shyt, things are going to start getting tense at work a couple of people are leaving soon so we got a bunch of new people in training to replace the ones that are leaving but the thing is though the people we actual experience who are left are very few once October comes i together with 2 other people will the ones with the most experience. I don't want to be one of the people doing the most work with customers complaining bytching at you everyday fukk that.
Like i mentioned before the job position is actually helpdesk but we could seriously be level 1.5 with the shyt we do. I was originally thinking i would be able to stay 1 year but the way things are looking im not sure if i can even ride it out to new year. i dont even know where the fukk im heading next in IT if i leave one thing i know for sure im NOT going back to 1st line support
