<p>If I took a continuing education class it would be 3-4 classes of intro and advanced computer programming (Visual Basic and JAVA) at a college or should I take 1-2 credited courses at the same college.
I really want to learn to program to build a web tool I’ve been dreaming of.
Which one would be able to teach me more?
Which one would look better for college applications?</p>
<p>Assuming your one or two credit courses cover the same topic and you already have some background in Java/VB, I would go with that. If you can handle the material, why not earn credit?</p>

Besides one not having credit, would both look good on college apps?</p>
<p>They wouldn’t look bad :). I don’t know what you plan to major in, but if it’s engineering, computer science, etc., both should be good.</p>
