hi everyone. I am doing research on the topic as per subject line. I am currently attending BSc Honours Studies in computer science at university of pretoria - south africa, and intend to do masters/PhD either in america or the uk. I am a java programmer, and currently hold a sun scjp certification (intend to study further). as per my findings so far, america seems to be a better option than uk. could you kindly comment on what good universities are there for computer science postgraduate studies in america, especially in california? and what about work thereafter? I also need to sort this out asap, as I need to decide if will doing toefl or ielts. please comment. shabangu
