Ok, so i'm passionnate about programming and wanna turn this passion into my job... I'm currently studying in high school and i have to look at some schools before i pass my exams..
What do you recommand me, wich formations to learn Game Programming or Programming in general after high school ? I'm from France, i'll search about similarities if it's only UK, US...

Programming in general.

@NonImportant- Yea but i mean, a certain formation like should i do a License, BTS (those are french i think).

EDIT: I wan't a real formation name for Programming in general or Game Programming. That's logic that learning programming in general is better than game programming of course.

What do you mean with "formation"? Haven't heard the term together with education, is it similar to "direction" in this case?

For game training I don't really knows, but I don't recommend it as it's the only part of the industry that is overcrowded, so you will work harder for less.

For general programming school:

most schools are private, were you pay a lot for a few courses (mostly web) according to a few friends of mine, so don't expect to be fully prepared without learning some part by yourself, but they have great modern infrastructures in general.

I don't think companies really like them too, but as they still lack of devs, finding a job will not be a problem anyway.

I myself made prepa then ENSEEIHT: nice school. Here too the courses aren't perfect, but it seems pretty well recognized by employers, like most post-prepa schools I suppose.

So it depends on how far you're willing to invest yourself.

It seems to me post-bac schools focus more on specialized training: web or stats or networks etc. while post-prepa are more general.

Not sure thought I personnaly enter only one

@sbiewald Hum, sorry i'm french so sometimes i might invent some word from french words xD

I mean : Filiar, wich school, direction for my further studies...
