What classes have you taken to help you with programming?

I took a html class in middle school which got me started. Classes can be useful to get the basics of a language down, but that can also be picked up from a book. The more advanced stuff is usally too specific, and there are too many variants to be covered well in a book or class. Best bet is just to google up what you're tryin' to learn.
i've found that anything to do with theory have been the most useful. really, once you understand programming concepts, you can pick up most any language.
i took a systems analysis and design course which was useful but also something that i found was WAY to many friggin diagrams for simple sites that i do. it would have been more useful if i was writing entire apps from the ground up that were large applications.

My sophmore year of school I took a discrete mathematics course that was probably the most helpful course I have ever taken. No programming at all, but it really improved the way I thought about problems.
While some people may not think school is necassary to learn something, I would disagree. Maybe not web-based stuff, but actual coding and theory you really need to be able to interact and test and apply what you learn.
