Programming Projects EVERY Computer Science Student Will Build 

Hey! Did you do it yourself or followed a tutorial? If you followed a tutorial, can you please share the link?

@@gragfrenade7438 Sorry no, I didn't follow any tutorial because It was the final project of my first semester in university. But if you like to go with a tutorial you can simply search programming a phone book on RU-vid, lots of tutorial will pop up😉

on what language

@@jyy3338 C++ 😣

was it a website?

Deeply Agreed !

2 years, sheesh, i thought i was ready already, and indians all need visas to work for a us based company, unless they arent paying the feds, but man i dont think ai will take over until about 10+years, and i mean like 90% jobs replaced by ai not just the starting phases.

@@BrianKarmo idk man CS is such a volatile field. It changes so fast, what works now will most likely become obsolete pretty soon. Whereas, fields like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, biology is stable.

@@returned_to_monke8872 as long as people aren't able to clearly express their problems, which be honest will never happen, AI taking over software development is alot harder than you think.

And then become frustrated and depressed with life, start preparing for government jobs, get married, get laid and become mediocre for the rest of your life 🥴

so many jobs in my state bro. i'd say 60% of them are mid - senior level positions but so many openings for new grads or people with 1-4 years experience. both pay and job opportunities will depend heavily on the state you live in, however seeing massive demand for software guys in my state (east coast usa)

THIS!!! During my programming 1 class in freshman year of college, I learned WAY MORE during homework assignments than I did in all the lectures combined! The only class I've ever taken where I can confidently say I wish there was more homework.

That's awesome! I'm in CS at WGU right now!🦉 I'm halfway through, about to do the Data Structures and Algorithms courses! 😀

Would you guys recommend attending Wgu for Computer Science if you have no experience with computer programming?

@@qualiqueancrum9135 I would WGU was great for me and I had very little experience with computer Science I switched from electrical engineering to CS.

Heyoo! Another WGU BSCS student here!

I should finish my CS at WGU this coming April.

Yep! Absolutely remember using POV-Ray around 2000 maybe? And would order 3d Studio Max (well before it became 3ds Max) trial discs! And Brazil renderer. Loved that one. Hated when it stopped being updated.

Same bro... Even forget some practiced ** patterns 😅

Me too!

I once heard it compared to following (complex) directions like cooking. How many people can make a cake from scratch from memory? Takes time and practice to be able to internalize and apply the knowledge without the recipe book. Unless you're a savant math isn't instantly intuitive. Don't give you can do it.

All of that sounds depressing

@@asapbrianjr haha, it's not so terrible. It's just a bit much at times with working 60 plus hour weeks. Having fun though!

@@jasonwood5024 Glad to hear and goodness more power to ya! I'm just shite at math and saw linear algebra. Almost cried lol

@@asapbrianjr I saw MATLAB and almost cried

why is a CS student using matlab and python at the same time

if it runs linux and has a display it is good enough

Take a look at Harvard CS50 course, It's free

The abstract math.

you probably don't know the struggles behind long hair

@@agroxk i know

Short hair is really relaxing tbh. I would rock buzz cut if my head shape was like Zayn Malik's lol.

While it is possible to learn all of those above without enrolling into a university course, some people prefer the structured approach a course provides and usually CS courses (or any university environment) is great for networking and getting early job offers. I am glad your route worked for you, but it may not work for others. Please be more thoughtful before throwing accusations.

These freelance RU-vid self-learning make it sound sooooo easy. Yes if you have crappy resources with crappy teaching styles then college will be useless. That would be the university's fault. On the other part you freelancers make it sound it's so easy to do. You don't however mention that majority of employers will not hire without a bachelor's.2 your dependent on clients as a contract job and if they decide they don't want your services you are screwed. 3 you don't have a stable job. No one knows who you are. 4 Just because you use RU-vid or some internet articles does not mean your being given proper information. You could be coding dangerously and have no idea because there is no one to ask. 5 freelancing in general is looked down upon as a person with no stable income which it is. Your incomes fluctuates compared to an actual salary. Yes debt wise college is a racket but your freelancing is much of a scam by how many bums promote it without telling the reality. No one is really going to hire someone with self-taught RU-vid knowledge unless you become popular or are a throw back in the early days of programming and internet who did not stop programming.6 you also have less networking opportunities because you are just selling yourself with no umbrella to represent or give preference to. Again you are someone that no one knows. Running RU-vid ads can only take you do far why do u think most freelancers move overseas or just stay in their discord communities with a little for-profit website? Because majority can't make it that's why. So they hustle and as you've mentioned, scam! People who cry about college generally were the idiots who couldn't even pass any of their courses. Even the 2.7 is smart enough to get their degree and not drop out and expect to become Elon or Zuckerberg because of it. Those we're windows of opportunities with a technology that was new that they stole from others in a university and made a business from. That is harder to do now unless it's uncharted waters. That's why most of you freelancer/self-taught are selling snake water because you were either lazy, stupid, or wanting to push poor advice around so people can fall for it and get pushed through the ringer like yourselves. Unstable, no network, reliant on others for a job than your own contributions or talent. No thanks us 3.9 gpa know better and laugh in your faces. Just do door to door sales because that is what your basically promoting. Nobodies with nothing to back up their claims of intelligence or ability to do a job properly. Anyone that does hire you is taking a chance besides start ups. Start ups will hire anyone. Smart people get their networks and stability. Dumb people drop out or use college debt as an excuse to stay in the hustle. Some colleges are less expensive than others and in the long run it'll pay off the debt and more of you know what your doing. Some even go to college for free because of programs sponsors and grants. People who use debt are stupid because your going to have to deal with debt if you want a house or a car unless you are rich which almost all majority aren't.
