So I just want to start out saying that I am a long time lurker, and first poster. If I do anything against the rules, be gentle... Anyways, I am about to enter my final semester in college, finishing up my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and have to make a choice regarding my final upper level elective. The choices happen to be a course in compiler construction or a course in web programming languages. I can only take one, but will only have one other course to take, so time will not be too much of an issue. I know each have pros and cons, but, I am just curious as to what you guys and gals in the community might know from experiences. BTW, I am leaning towards the compiler construction, my reasoning being that it may be more difficult to learn that on my own, but I have been wrong in the past.
