  Project mention: Discussion/advice | reddit.com/r/saskatoon | 2021-03-21

  From what I've heard, the university route is geared towards theoretical programming, computation efficiency, algorithms, and concepts, while the SaskPoly route is heavy on practical programming with a dense course-load, assuming some level of baseline knowledge beforehand. If you already know this is your career choice and want a head start, FreeCodeCamp (web-dev), CS50 (beginner concepts), and MIT (technical) are my recommendations that offer a glimpse into university expectations.
