Hi,   
   I find AI concepts really interesting and I would someday like to   
   pursue research/a career in AI (with my current knowledge levels, I'm   
   leaning towards Cognitive Science/Operational Research). I am   
   currently working in the VLSI domain.   
      
   Unfortunately, I come from an electronics background and I don't have   
   any object-oriented programming knowledge. As a result, I'm really   
   confused as to how I can convince anyone to take me on as a research   
   assistant. :-(   
   Any ideas what will enhance my chances of getting into a good AI   
   course in the US/UK? Is doing a short object-oriented language course   
   (e.g. Java) a good idea?   
      
   Any help/thoughts are very much appreciated.   
   Merci!
