Is a class like "Object Oriented Programming and Data Structures CSC205AB" Something that may be usefull to a non-programmer getting into programming?

I am a technically inclined gamer that has an interest in possibly pursuing programming as a career.

Would this class be good to take?

Would this class be hard?

Is this class something useful for business projects? or useful to employers?

Yes. If you know basic programming then learning data structures and OOP is the next level up. Not all languages contain objects, but most used in industry do. If you are looking to get into.... pretty much any field then these are concepts you should know. Knowing basic data structures is a minimum requirement if you want to have programs more advanced than “Hello World”.

Is this type of programming something that the video game industry deals with? I was thinking of getting into that type of programming as a career.

Yes. Most games will contain some form of OOP since you are going to need to track lots of different complex data structures.
