How to prepare for studies in Computer Science?
What to learn in preparation for studying Computer Science in depth? Here is my list!
- Git,
- Touch-typing,
- Python + PyTest,
- LaTeX + Overleaf,
- Breaking down problems into smaller components, starting from the simplest cases, in order to avoid getting stuck.
- Agile thinking - shipping projects incrementally, gathering feedback every iteration (ie. usually a week or two).
- Understand, or decide, why you want to study CS. Write that down. When feeling overwhelmed, go back to that note.
- Update it on the way if it loses actuality.
What would your list be? Would you add or delete something? Let me know!
