Of the three, Option B looks most appropriate to understanding the semantic web, but hten Option C looks very good, too.

SEO is more or less about treating the entire Internet as a database. You are going to want to looking into Resource Description Frameworks and, of course, Web Ontology Language and SPARQL.

Check DBpedia.org for more information.

Well, "webdesigning stuff" is very vague and can mean a lot of very different things. Do you mean graphic design, site design (i.e., work flow, user interfaces, etc.), dynamic sites with programming and database integration, content development, etc.?

I'd say option C is probably the best way to go for a well-rounded overview (and add the graphics class, if you're interested in that aspect). However, for most web development I personally don't see much use in the OOP C++, computer architecture/parallel processing, and multimedia (depending on what it actually covers) classes.

Hello Weeks and LifeinAsia

Thanks for starting up , i thought no one is interested in helping me out

I am doing everthing myself at the moment from html , graphics , php coding etc . i am not professional related to any company i am doing it for my own websites so i dont fit into any special job title.I am doing it for myself and quit my job about one year ago , i am earning much more then what i used to get with my job with this

Option C also looks more suitable for me atleast it will keep me focussed a bit , do you notice that other two options are of the type jack of lot of trades? hmm the impression which i am getting for A , B is that they will take me very far from what i am interested in.

With subjects in option C i can feel i can continue my hobby of web designing and make it as full time professional carrer in the future.

I am thinking that with option C , to take some optional courses like Ecommerce and i guess i can make good future for myself

I am looking for some more comments from your side

Thanks for your time

Keep in mind that professional educators now say that people graduating from school now can expect to change careers about seven times in their life. Not change jobs, change careers. We all need to prepare ourselves for a life of learning and growing. It's not going to be easy, but it will be interesting.

I would personally include a heavy dose of marketing with whatever option you choose. Can you take classes in direct marketing? Are they worthwhile? I don't know, but its very important even if you have to go outside the university program to learn it.

[benevolent001]

Yes i am ready for lots and lots of hardwork , i know changing things is not easy and you cant learn anything without soild hardwork.

Yes i am learning the whole game of internet marketing , and am really loving it . I cant even imagine earlier how easy it has been made today to reach customers all around the world , see my OP i asked for MBA or something in internet mktg.I am fitting into the groove of this whole SEM PPC game , and its working great for me till date and i am doing it just for myself

If you're going to continue going solo (as opposed to working for another company), then you definitely need some business classes in addition to the tech classes:
- basic accounting
- marketing
- e-commerce (well, that's pretty vague too :) )

If you're in the U.S., SCORE has some excellent resources (plus they're free).

And of course, don't forget the Life-long University of Webmaster World!
