I have a background in Medicine; but being interested in computers, esp. use in biostatistics & data analysis; would like to do an MCA correspondence course; to learn such concepts as Basics of computers (hardware)/Operating Systems (UNIX), Programming Basics (eg 'C language), Databases/SQL, etc.
Any suggestions for a good course (*correspondence)*? I was thinking of IGNOU & Sikkim Mainpal Univeristy.
Have installed the recent openSUSE 11.0 Linux distribution (till now was using only MS-Windows XP & related applications), & learning about Linux basics (that may serve as an intro to Unix OS also.)
Thanks,
