I finished a BSC in computer science in Griffith College Dublin(I got a First class degree) last year and have spent this year working in a small company doing bits and pieces of IT work but very little programming.
I now want to leave the company to try and enter the games industry. Can any one advise me on the best way of doing this, I am only learning c++ now because we learnt Java and VB in college.
Is another course (like Ballyfermot) the way to go(and if so are they all full time courses)?
This thread has quite a bit of info that you are looking for. There is a good list of books and websites that can cater for your needs.
As for a list of courses, there is info on that in the Resources section.
As for programming, if you are wanting to get into PC/Console gaming, you’re going to need to learn C++, mobile phones/ web, you’ll need to learn java.
