First year: intro to programming, basic data structures and algos, parallel programming, databases and a project to finish it. Homework should be kept track of via some version control. Should also be some calculus and linear algebra.

Second year:
Introduce more complex subjects such as programming paradigms, compilers and language theory, low level programming + logic design + basic processor design, logic for system verification, statistics and graph theory. Should also be a project with a company.

Year three:
Advanced algos, datastructures and algorithm analysis. Intro to Computer and data security. Optional courses in graphics programming, machine learning, compilers and automata, embedded systems etc. ends with a big project that goes in depth into a CS subject, not a regular software project in java basically.

Paraphrased wise words from lecture by the one and only Donald Knuth:

If you want to learn something new, don't try to learn by explaining it to another human. Make a computer do it instead because then you'll have to truly understand how something works for all cases.

What books is recommended for becoming a better programmer overall? Please don't recommend any encyclopedia alike books like art of computer science and so on.

Had a lecture on logical gates. It's beautiful.. Especially memories. Wow

Hello dev friends!
Have you ever been in a situation where you've had two job offers at the same time and you want it to end on good terms? How have you handled this? :)

"code is data"

When the lecture professor doesn't like JavaScript and has to show 'wat' 😂

Just started learning haskell and if someone wants a 'why' I give you quicksort:

quicksort [] = []
quicksort (p:xs) = (quicksort lesser) ++ [p] ++ (quicksort greater)
where
lesser = filter (< p) xs
greater = filter (>= p) xs

Yeah, makes sense to continue building, skipping the install and fucking up the whole app :)

Thank you for the stickers! 🌞🌞

When coding at work is too intense to return the coffee mugs. One more to complete the triangle and call to our the coffee gods.

I've spent the past 6 months exploring and implementing small and big projects in nodejs, python, golang, swift. Swift btw being a pain in the ass. I really wanted to continue with golang since it's a cool language but all jobs/startups that I think is interesting use c# .net so I want to jump into that.

Does anyone have any book tips that can be finished this summer for programmers that are not beginners?

Translate my thoughts into code!

Has this ever happened to you? Some code you're trying to execute does not work at home. Then the next day when you're showing it to the team it works perfectly (yes, I know I'm a bad coder). 😁 programming: the art of creating things without knowing how you did it
