Allow us to be a resource for you as you strive to achieve your academic goals. In today's show, we'll be answering a viewer's question. What you mention is taken into consideration.
Computer Science & IT
What advice do you have for someone who wants to get into computer science as a career? I've always wanted to be a programmer, but I'm stumped as to where to begin. Please trust us.
During our meeting today, we'll be talking to Ulka, a computer programming instructor at Socratica, about this issue. As a full-time web developer, Ulka studied Computer Science at college.
Do you know of any alternative ways to become a software developer? There's no such thing. You don't have to major in computer science in college to be a programmer. It's difficult for university administrators to keep up with the rapid technological changes.
How to Study Programming
It's possible that you won't be able to utilise any of the programming languages you learned in school when you acquire a job that requires it. To what end is a degree in computer science being pursued in the first place? What are the advantages of obtaining a computer science degree? The contrast between computer science and software engineering is essential to bear in mind. A bachelor's degree in computer science is required to work as a programmer.
It has an impact on your life. To become a person who can
code for the rest of their lives. Your CS degree may be thought of as a kind of
meta-knowledge. You won't learn how to code from it, but you will learn what
coding isn't.
The theory is the most significant aspect of computer
science education. Technology in computer science may evolve, but its basic
principles stay the same. What specifically would you learn if you pursued a
degree in computer science?
The course of study differs from one institution to the
next. In general, you may expect to study about Data Structures and Algorithms,
Operating Systems, Networking, Cryptography & Search, and programming
languages.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are
both possible electives. Graphics. Mathematical concepts are included as well.
The value of mathematics cannot be overstated. CS challenges are inherently
mathematical in nature.
Probability and statistics are essential to AI. Use Linear
Algebra for graphics and animation. Is this something you'd want to pursue?
Number Theory and Modular Arithmetic will also be covered. Our reader may not
be able to attend college full-time to get a CS degree. Studying both
academically and non-academically is recommended if you want to improve your
abilities.
In the event that you can't enroll in a university full-time, there are a number of online courses that may help. Links to free online courses from colleges such as Harvard and MIT will be included in the next section of the page. Then there's the non-academic route to programming success.
Is there anything more you can tell us about this? The greatest method
to learn how to code is to actually write yourself... I'd advise you to get
your feet wet with anything easy. There are visual tutorials for coding.
These are great for getting a fast victory. That's what I
mean when I say that if you're rational, you'll rapidly realize that you can
code. Our viewers, on the other hand, are clearly logical. What's next? It's
critical for newcomers to have a clear idea of the end goal in mind.
Do more and more tough chores to see how far you can push yourself. Look for "Hour of Code" competitions. Meetups. Hackathons.
Visit coding-related message boards. This is a great method to meet other
individuals who are learning to code and who can help you improve your code.
While we're on the subject of code review, let's take a Yes? The best method to
learn to code is to read other people's code.
A basic piece of code, one that is well-documented is ideal.
You'll rapidly learn what a code error looks like. Consider using other
people's code instead.
Many open source projects need effort before they can be
effectively used. What are the best resources for finding and attempting to
decipher parts of source code? The code hosting service GitHub is well-known.
There are a slew of free software projects to choose from.
This is also an excellent spot for you to start building your own personal
brand. Sharing it with others can help you learn from their feedback. What is
the best place to begin learning a new language? JavaScript is a good place to
start if you're new to programming.
Also, I'd like to propose a fantastic Python course. Wink,
wink, wink. But you have to choose only one? In fact, learning more than one
language is something I strongly advise you to do. This will allow you to
examine the similarities and differences across programming languages.
There are advantages and disadvantages to using a certain
programming language. What about those who have a basic understanding of the
subject but are eager to learn more? You might enroll in a Boot camp Immersive.
As a result, you'll have spent a few thousand dollars and gained considerable
coding knowledge by the time you're done with the programmer.
But a shadow of uncertainty hangs over you... I'm starting to think of a "but"... Getting a job, on the other hand, may be preferable.
If so, are you a self-starter? Exactly. To get a job, you must develop a professional internet presence and be honest about your level of skill. Take over the responsibilities of your friends' projects.
You should learn how to programme a game that you'd like playing. This strategy is the finest way to learn. It's a simulation of the actual world. My Socratica Pals, that's all I have for you. In college, you can learn about computer science, but the best way to become a programmer is to actually work as one in the industry.
Let us know how things are doing in the comments section below. We're very pleased of how far you've come. Becoming an excellent student necessitates all of this! This time it's me, my Socratica Friends.
We're here to help you succeed academically! A labour of love is what the Socratica Team is doing. The bulk of our time is spent on research, writing, photography, and editing.
There just aren't enough hours in the day to do all that needs to be done. What are you able to do to help? You may contribute to our work via Patreon. You don't need to do this at all. Everyone may watch our YouTube videos for free as long as they like.
If you can't afford it, don't donate money. After you've finished watching our videos, please consider disseminating them through Twitter, Reddit, and other social media outlets. If you believe it's worth it, you can help us out. It's a huge deal!
