    The Missing Semester of Your CS Education 📚

  • Caveat 2: You get out what you put in. If you just do the classes, you're going to be missing a lot of the meta-programming stuff. You're not going to be prepared for interviews. My experience has been that most CS programs have this same issue. It's why people put together MIT's missing semester of your CS education. You're going to want to do some HackerRank stuff, or some CodeWars stuff. You'll want that sort of problem-solving skill tucked away. I can also give you a bit of cross-compare: My younger sister went to a (private, catholic) B&M school for CS - I don't feel like I came out less prepared than she did.

  • Think-Python-2E-My_solutions

    My solutions to the exercises contained in the "Think Python 2nd Edition" book by Allen B. Downey.

  • Finally - advice: The missing CS semester above. Read that, all of it. Get yourself these books: Think Python, Cracking the Coding Interview, and Head First: Design Patterns. You can pair that last one with this rather excellent youtube channel explaining them. Take the time to really read those books. Understand what they're trying to say. Those are what will set you apart in interviews - if you really have that knowledge on tap.

  • InfluxDB
