Folks who come out of those are very similar to most Indians who just graduated from a tech college over there. That is not a compliment. You are much better off to pick a language to start with and see how you can do on your own. If you hit a wall early and can't figure anything out with all of the doc and message boards available on the internet then you won't survive as a coder anyway. Truth is, 99% of coding is not what you know as much as how quickly you can figure out something you don't know. We joke about StackOverflow and GoogleFu but that shit is the lifeblood of any coder.
