"This is a course about the practice of programming, an attempt to expose students to the development of real programs. Programming is more than just writing code. Programmers must also assess tradeoffs, choose among design alternatives, debug and test, improve performance, and maintain software written by themselves and others. At the same time, they must be concerned with compatibility, robustness, and reliability, while meeting specifications. Students will have the opportunity to develop these skills by working on their own code and in group projects."

Re:Ask HN: Is a degree in CS worth it? on Tuesday July 14, 2020 @03:12AM (#23829341)
I recommend reading the first chapter of Bjarne Stroustrup's book, "Programming Principles and Practice Using C++." It's a quick read but it's got the wisdom that your question seeks.

Josh Hug's course would be a good place to start. Lectures -- Companion textbook -- Practice problems -- Projects -- all in one place covering everything from the basic to the complex.

"If that's not enough, it's a good exercise to scrape them." I like this idea.

I appreciate you for taking the time to reply and point me in a direction. Thank you.

Hi, thanks for asking.

CS major, just trying to keep tabs on Startups--probably not going to get FAANG, so I'd like to know the players in the Startup scene.

I want the news on what companies are doing; what startups are getting fundings. Plus that database of startups.

That sort of thing.

That little bit of advice helps a great deal. Many thanks!

I’m on a similar path.

I was wondering, hope this isn’t too personal to ask, when you were searching for that first internship, I am in that stage right now, what did your resume look like? What sort of projects did you include and did not include?

Besides my curious questions, I enjoyed reading about your experiences and I hope to read more on your blog.

Cheers!

... Anyone else having issues verifying their phone? I've never had such a buggy experience verifying my phone.

It seems like after you complete the application, the green submit button, as well as the text fields in the following sequences, are buggy -- single click doesn't seem to pick up the action, double click seems to upset it, tab into the button to press Enter doesn't work. This is all via Chrome.

Ask HN: Geeksforgeeks.org vs. Tutorialspoint.com

When it comes to reviewing CS, for school, or for preparing for coding interviews, a Google search on a topic often leads to either GeeksForGeeks or TutorialsPoint.I'd like to ask HN, have you used one or the other, or both, and found it worthwhile? Or was it a total waste, if so what would you do differently?Thanks!

Ask HN: What Practices Has Helped You Reach Productivity Zen/Flow?

One could argue that in today's industries our success is tied to how well equipped you are to handle stress from oneself, from the job, as well as from others (family, significant others, coworkers, etc).With that being said, I would much appreciate you taking a moment to share the activities/practices that you have come across and adopted that helped you feel more secure, that has helped you...

For a seven-year-old? MIT's Scratch: https://scratch.mit.edu/

Once they are comfortable with scratch you can get them a Raspberry Pi and develop hardware-software projects depending on their interest.

Knowing Scratch also helps to get them into game development.

Lastly, after getting Scratch you can get the kid a Lego Mindstorms kit and build robots, musical intruments, etc.
