Programming Classes For Data Analysis/Business Intelligence
I'm looking to further my career in Business Intelligence, and I'm taking some college level classes at my local college to finish my degree. I have to take 4 more technical classes from the list below. Can I get some advice from the Experts on which classes would be bettter for my career vs. those that would be completely useless in Business Intelligence? I'm guessing I should probably learn the ones in bold, right?
Here is the list:
Here is the list:
- Introduction to C# Programming

none of them really apply to BI, BI is primarily an SQL area of expertiese

By the way, I was basing my assumptions on this article I read:

David is correct in his statement, though I am in agreement with the perspective of the article. My first job was a mechanical engineering apprentice, but they wouldn't let us start drafting parts until we'd spent 6 months in the shop doing the various manufacturing processes. Due to that, when we designed blueprints, we had a deep understanding of how the machine shop would use them.
I think the same is absolutely true in the development environment. and depending on the size and position you may even be playing a role in developing the front end. I'd speculate that the trend that Java probably goes better with Oracle DB applications, and .NET is preferred for MSSQL applications.

Thanks Dustin and all who contributed! I originally signed up for the C# classes, but I think I'll take the .NET classes instead.
