Hello people,
Good night!
I come to you a very interesting article that I found on the internet, written by Claudio Florenzano to the site techdicas.net.br, commenting on the difference between the IT higher education courses. I myself did not know that there were so many higher education courses in IT, which is still highly valued through certifications.
Some friends of mine ask me what is the difference between the courses, but I honestly did not have much basis to comment on, because I only attended Information Systems (at Granbery) and Computer Sciences (at Cândido Mendes) and could not differentiate these courses from others cited below.
I hope this article is useful for you, especially for those who want to get into IT and don't know which course to take.
