High school me never have even thought of the the path I am on now. I started as an Economics major, fresh out of high school where I loved loved loved being a business major (commerce). Coding? Oh my God! I dreaded that word. Too scared to even try that stuff because it seemed too tough for me to understand! I would see my friends grind at coursework and work hard and study day in and day out that I felt like this was not something I would ever do. I came Texas Tech University. The energy for innovation and technology here is contagious! Every friend I made here seemed to be coding something, building something. It ignited a sense of curiosity I could not ignore after a while, despite the fact that starting from scratch (never coded before!) felt super daunting. So, right before sophomore year, I took the risk and switched to Computer Science! It wasn't a walk in the park I promise! Since I didn't have any engineering background, I had to hustle to catch up. TSI exams, chemistry courses, physics exams – you name it, and I took it. But the support at Texas Tech University - Edward E. Whitacre, Jr. College of Engineering was incredible! I still remember the advisor telling me all about computer science and that changing majors was not for less talented people or anything. Honestly I thought changing majors meant I won't land up anywhere. Thank you so much Dan Martin! You're the best! He supported me at every step in my journey! Now, guess what? I actually find this challenging and rewarding! Who knew the problem-solving thrill of getting a program to work or removing a bug or tests to pass could be so satisfying? This journey has been a wild ride, but I'm so glad I took the chance. It's a testament to the power of embracing new experiences and the supportive communities, like the one at Texas Tech, that can help you thrive on your path. 🤝 Collaboration, not competition.

🤔Beyond the Surface: Is Conventional Success Really What We Seek? 🤔 When I was young, I was completely invested and eager to learn about Information Technologies. I was fascinated by how computers work, what software does, and how the internet connects various devices. My dream since secondary school was to become a software engineer, which I saw as the pinnacle of conventional success. However, my academic path took unexpected turns, and I eventually graduated with a degree in Social Sciences and Humanities. Through this journey, I was exposed to and learned a great deal about communities, discovering a passion I never knew I had. But it wont stop me there which I took an elective course from Faculty of Computer Science & Information Technology just for myself adding my skills😁 This made me realize that my life goals aren't the same as everyone else's. Conventional success, like becoming a software engineer, isn't necessarily what brings true fulfillment. For me, it was the unexpected path that revealed my true passions and led me to a deeper understanding of what I really seek in life.😊 Ps: This is the one of my memories during STPM. It is supposedly an individual tasks to do coding but we work together 😂 #lifejourney

🚀 Preparing for College Placements: The DSA Edge As college students gear up for placements, it's vital to understand the cornerstone of technical interviews: Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). 💡 Why DSA Matters: Technical Competence: DSA forms the backbone of problem-solving in computer science. Mastering it demonstrates your technical prowess to potential employers. Interview Readiness: Many top companies, from tech giants to startups, use DSA-based questions to evaluate candidates during placement interviews. Problem-Solving Skills: DSA isn't just about memorizing algorithms; it's about cultivating problem-solving skills, which are invaluable in any tech role. How to Prepare: Study the Fundamentals: Start with core concepts like arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, and sorting algorithms. Understand their operations and time complexities. Practice, Practice, Practice: Solve as many problems as you can on platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, or CodeSignal. Gradually increase the difficulty level to challenge yourself. Understand Algorithm Design: Learn different algorithm design paradigms like greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, divide and conquer, etc. Understand when and how to apply them. Review and Revise: Regularly revisit topics and problems you've solved. Reinforcement is key to retaining information. Beyond DSA: While DSA is crucial, don't overlook other aspects of placement preparation. Soft skills, domain knowledge, and projects also play significant roles. Remember, the journey to mastering DSA may seem daunting, but with dedication and consistent effort, it's achievable. 💪 So, Don't take a risk to ignore DSA over Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. If you have a shortage of time or you feel you are inconsistent in following a schedule then you can go with paid courses like Coding Ninjas, AlgoPrep, Bosscoder Academy, GeeksforGeeks or any of your choice. I took guidance from Coding Ninjas. I am thankful to my mentors and my college Global Institute Of Technology for providing me with such an atmosphere to excel. #SoftwareEngineering #DataStructures #Placements #Opportunites #PrepareForBest #EPAMSystems #SoftwareDeveloper #FullstackDeveloper

Too many kids think that a Computer Science degree is some magical ticket to a $100,000+/year job. That couldn't be further from the truth. Colleges are experts at churning out hordes of terrible software engineers. The problem is that in this market, nobody wants to hire mediocre juniors anymore. This is because academia is laughably inadequate to properly teach software. While software is fast-moving and creatively free-form, traditional education is rigid and slow-paced. Case in point, I spent 4 years at a top Computer Science school and ~90% of what I learned there was completely useless in the real world. All that being said, this doesn't mean that you shouldn't go to college: A degree still has a ton of benefits, even in tech. The tricky part is that you need to augment what you learn there in order to actually succeed. To learn what those extra skills are and how you should actually be spending your time in school, check out my in-depth explainer here: https://lnkd.in/g2f9DhMU #techcareergrowth #sideprojects #growthtips #softwareengineering #interviewtips

🎓 Are Computer Science Degrees Worth It? 🎓 I will confess that I have been fairly critical in the past of university degrees. When I graduated from Manchester University following a Computer Science BSc course there were clearly some noticeable things omitted from the curriculum. Test Driven Development, use of an IDE (we would compile Java programs from the terminal), debugging and coverage of things like SOLID and frameworks. However I’ve seen a little too much by way of “dunking” on university degrees recently. A degree teaches you a broad spectrum of computer science areas. In my degree we covered quite a few different areas: * Computer graphics * Machine Learning * Data Structures and Algorithms * Assembly language * ARM chip Architecture * Electronics * Discrete Mathematics * Databases * We also programmed in three languages, Java, C and C++ and used graphics libraries like OpenGL It’s clear that a degree gives you a real flavour of all the different alternatives your career can take. It also opens your eyes to all the possibilities and gives you a fundamental understanding of how computers actually work. (Something you don’t get from a Bootcamp) Claiming a degree produces poor software engineers is just a crazy overreach. Many post-uni software engineers have a strong grounding in the fundamentals. That’s not to say Bootcamps aren’t equally a viable route into software. They are. BUT there is a lot more onus on the individual post-Bootcamp to ensure they are strong in a lot of those fundamentals. What do you think? Is going to study computer science worth it for you? #computerscience #university #softwarecareers #softwareengineering #bootcamps

In 2011, in a low-income neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, one of the world's most iconic companies launched a high school. P-TECH, the Pathways in Technology Early College High School, is IBM's answer to an education system that has been slow to adapt to the changing demand for workers with more flexible tech skills, like coding and data analytics. Principal Rashid Ferrod Davis has been around since the beginning. His biggest hope is that kids gain a variety of skills to serve them in what IBM calls New Collar jobs — roles that demand flexibility and technical know-how, like data analytics and designing software. "We're trying to be as traditional as we can," Davis says, "but also dealing with exposing students to the motivation of industry by giving them immediate access to someone who may not be in their zip code, working at a Fortune 500 company." As part of that mission, Davis tries to get the predominantly black student body to see themselves as success stories. Scattered around the school are posters celebrating student achievement.
