I saw "Which universities teach Python?", so I thought I would ask one about Microsoft technologies. Do you know of any schools that teach beginning to advanced Microsoft programming languages?

Let me be the first to say that I recommend that you avoid choosing a college based on the the specific technologies it uses. When I went to college, IBM and DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) were the biggest technologies. My college used DEC systems, and that helped me get my first couple programming jobs after college; however, I think that probably would have been true for whatever technology I used in school. Now, IBM is not as big a force as they were - at least in the sense of dominating the hardware market - and DEC no longer exists as an independent entity (bought by Compaq which was bought by HP). I've learned Unix and Windows to stay employable.

Would Von Neumann or Turing approve?

Use the Microsoft Academy locator ... Think "Microsoft Youth" and you get the idea.

I think universities should teach C and Lisp and move upwards. As it is harder to move down. All this Java/C# shit should come later. Even Python is a better option than Java IMHO. I dislike the Microsoft strategy of giving schools free stuff to create armies of zombies, read "I can only use [Word|Excel|C#|Access|MS-SQL]"

If I could change things, they would learn:

1. Theory first
2. Get started with C/Unix with exercises that get results and smiles
3. Lisp and SICP crash-course to open their minds a bit
4. Move onto a SIMPLE OOP language like Python (minus decorators)
5. Then look at other languages and examine in an imperical way, why they exist, and where they differ ... then do a few projects in each.

But hey, it's your education. Don't listen to me, I'm not a computer science graduate.

Well I am a CS Grad and currently using Microsoft Technologies and I completely agree with @GreenMatt, it is not good to go for a course centred around particular Platform / tools but not the core concepts

Any way if this is your choice have a look at Sheffield Hallam University, being parter organisation and training centre for Microsoft, it also offers some degree courses based arround Microsoft such as the following

• Microsoft Dynamics Programmes(MBA)
• Dynamics Programme as a whole

One more thing, these tools and technologies are evolving so quickly and more and more are coming in every other day, Consider this..

1. 6 months ago I was using "Hard coded queries to get data from DB"
2. about 3 months ago I started using Designer generated Data Sets and Table Adapters
3. Now the new project has been approved with use of "LINQ to SQL" for Data Acess Layer.

All 3 are from Microsoft, along with 2 dozen other technologies

Honestly, by the time you will be out of schools, for professionals you will sound like talking about history of programming !!!!

You will learn twice as more tools each month than you will learn at school per semester, but won't be able to develop that very "skills set" and "art for programming", if you miss / avoid "data structures", "Algorithms", "Discrete Mathematics" and "Object oriented Programming Concepts" or similar Subjects.

So moral of the story

Strong concepts and skills / approach towards problem solving will help you always, never the tools.

Hope it helps

Neumont University has a Microsoft Software focus as an option.

At my university (Polytechnique, Montreal), the language of predilection for teaching procedural + object oriented programming is C++. However, we use Visual Studio as an IDE (one could say we do learn some Microsoft technologies).

University of South Florida uses C# and VB.NET in some of its more advanced courses. Gateway courses are all Java and C, though.
