I am Industrial Engineer in Dominican Republic (the Caribbean), i always wanted to Study Computer science when in high school, but i never found in my country a curriculum that seemed as good to decide to take it. Now i realize that i should have taken this path before.
Now following the carrier, i have been learning PHP because is one of the easiest introductions to programming, my question is, can somebody provide me options of a development and learning path for learning with tutorials, books and certificates, enough to enter into a CS master degree?, i am already engineer and i understand much of the mathematical background, what else do i need?
If I were you I would go through introductory courses listed on MIT's Open Courseware and get atleast a basic understanding of what computer science is all about and then start with basic C# or java programming languages.
