Pursuing a Computer Science Major Without Prior Experience This is the number one question that I get from those that are serious about pursuing a degree in Computer Science. It seems that they know that a Computer Science degree is not a Programming degree, even though most individuals get their CS degrees for that reason. Why? Because most Universities do not offer a Programming degree. So, do you need to know programming in order to obtain a Computer Science degree? The answer should be yes, but frequently it’s no. What is Computer Science? Computer Science is the “study of computers and computational

Navigating Time Estimation with Precision Want to learn how long the days are and what it means to actually commit to something for a year? Try to become a developer. If you’re the type of person that thinks that most things can be achieved in a month or two, get ready to have your world flipped upside down. Setting realistic timelines is something that most people should try to get better at. It helps with alleviating stress when you don’t achieve your goals in that insanely optimistic timeframe. I’m going to lose 50 pounds. I’ll give myself 3 months. I’m
Why It’s a Top Career Choice Web development is a booming industry, and it’s one that you can get into if you have the skills and knowledge. The demand for web developers is high, which means there are plenty of opportunities for those who want to work as part of this field. However, web development isn’t just about writing code; it also involves studying how websites work from an engineering perspective so that you can optimize them for user experience and performance on multiple platforms. Flexibility Web development is a flexible career: It allows you to work from home, as
Being a software developer is great. Everyone wants to get in and as long as you call yourself a software developer you’re likely to get a high-paying job quickly. Software Developers have the leisure of not applying for jobs anymore. Recruiters are reaching out to them daily. The average length that a developer stays at a job has shrunk drastically. After all, why wait for a 3% raise when you can change jobs and negotiate a 20% increase? Developers have become spoiled in that sense. Nobody even cares that they’ve worked for 20 different companies in the last 5 years.
It doesn’t matter which degree you’re pursuing, the last thing that you want to happen is to feel like you wasted your money. How do you succeed in a Computer Science program? What is the optimal approach that you should take so that when you graduate with your B.S. in Computer Science, you’ll be ready for the workforce? I’ve gone through it and will share what worked for me when it comes to Computer Science Success. Hopefully these tips will work for you also. Proper Notes As easy as you may believe that taking notes is, it’s not as intuitive
Your first Algorithm ;( The Bubble Sort algorithm sorts an array of items in increasing order. It steps through the array and compares the adjacent elements. If they are not sorted, it swaps them. It then keeps repeating the procedure until the array is fully sorted. Let’s jump into an example. The following elements are compared during the first iteration: 0 and 1, 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 3 and 4, and 4 and 5. In the first comparison of the first iteration, elements at indices 0 and 1 are compared. Since 3 is less than 7, the elements
