Top 5 things you should do while joining your first year of computer science engineering
Hi, I hope you all are doing well. Welcome to my first blog here i'm going to explain the top 5 thing that you should do if you are going to join your first year as a computer science engineer.
Yes in your first year, your college will give you one of the programming language to learn most probably it will be C but i suggest you to be self taught with object oriented language like python,java,javascript,c++.
As soon as you start your first day as a computer science engineer student here are the thing that you should do:
1.Choose one language
From day 1 of your college choose one language whatever language it may be example you can choose python,java,javascript etc just give it a try with any language and stick to it. Don't wait everything for your college to teach you, you learn more if you teach yourself
2.Choose one domain
So after choosing a programming a language now it time for you to choose your domain that you are more interested like what do you want to work with like web development,app development,game development etc but i suggest you to start with web development because it is easy if you really put out the work.
3.Build a project
So now you have learn a language, you have a domain or a field that you are interested so now it time to build a project because you will never learn anything without building anything from the thing that you have learn, and you have to remember that never consider yourself that you know a particular language unless you have build a project with what you have learn.
4.Learn data structure and algorithm
Here come data structure and algorithm i'm not going to say that it is not important, but it will help you get a job because the company will hired you based on your coding skill in which you will implement the data structure and algorithm to make the code more efficient most of the question while the company is recrutting will come from data structure and algorithm so make sure that you learn the fundamental like stack,queue,linked list and so on.
5.Practise hackerrank,hackerearth problem
So to make your coding skill at the top or to increase your thinking ability and also to make your brain think logically here you have to practice coding from different online platform like hackerrank, hacker-earth,code-chef. All this thing you have to do is just to exercise your brain with coding so that you will understand the language in depth.
Conclusion
Some of you might think that you don't have time for all of this because you have a curriculum to complete but trust me you have plenty of time while you are in first year because in first year you will study again with your 10+2 course so give more important to your branch (computer science) by doing all the top 5 thing that i have mention above will make you have a skill which you can apply in your job.
You might ask me "what i should do in my second,third year?" Here is an answer, after you complete your first year you already have a domain or field so it's up to you to explore more about other domain or field or you can specialize about the domain that you already learn.
If you are not sure about programming language i highly suggest you take a Harvard cs50 intro to computer science.
Thank You. I will appreciate it if you correct me and i highly encourage you to give me suggestion and feedback.
