My bachelor’s in software engineering starts in quite a few months
I am thinking of downloading Linux and learning the Linux terminal using the Linux bible.
then learning video, photo, and vector editing.
After that finishing the rest of the cs50 except the scratch one.
Lastly, becoming extremely good at Python
How does it all sound?
Relax, take it one step at a time but always be making progress. Don’t overwhelm yourself, trust me. You’ll only get discouraged.
100% agree, focus on the bachelor.
but i’d always encourage people to try out linux, no need for the bible tho, just playing around.Understood, will keep it in mind.
If there’s one thing I can wholeheartedly recommend learning in Linux, especially if you’re young is to start learning Vim. It’s such a good investment when you start to get good at it, look up “The Primagean” if you’re not already familiar with his videos/streams.
If you want to play with Linux, install any distribution like Arch or Ubuntu, and read a few guides on this page: https://tldp.org/guides.html
On top of what @nom_nom pointed out, I would recommend completing personal projects. It could be a variety of things, and this link can help give you some ideas on what to do. If you don’t know how something works, nothing wrong with researching how something is done. I completed a sudoku solver a few months ago, and while it’s written with the equivalence of duct tape and plywood, I learned something new from it.
I would just recommend to make sure you pick small, realistic projects as you learn. There is a lot of cool stuff you can do with programming, but pick the easy, boring stuff and finish it to completion. Everyone makes a todo app, but it’s a really good learning experience, so just make sure you don’t skip the basics.
I tried to start with learning Unity and C# to make games, but realistically it took about a year of making smaller command line projects before I knew enough to even begin to do something that complicated. Anyways, the fundamentals are important, learn them well.
