      You can try a lot of things. I am in high school and i started programming first, but you can start any domain. You can see on youtube a lot of videos about cs projects to begin with. It can sound boring to do "beginner" projects but it really help you to do basic things it will allow you to be things faster later.
      But be carefull, ALWAYS focus on your studies first. That's something you have to remember: you still have plenty of time before computer science studies, but you don't get other chances at school.
      So you can start freely doing computer science projects but don't drive away from your studies , alright ?
      If you want some ideas for programming projects, here are some ideas :
      - create a calculator
      - chat app (for networking)
      - social media bots
      - web scrapper
      - 2 d plateform game
      Every topic will follow along the projects. Hope that will help you 😊.

    I am a CS grad, one advice I would like to add is to look into the different fields of CS like networking or databases. I have seen comments from other videos that they want a CS major or currently a CS student but they struggle or suck with coding, so they wouldn't be a good CS student. I reply back to their comment saying just because you are struggling or suck at this one topic/field doesn't mean you will suck at the others. CS isn't all bout coding, look into the different fields and stick your toe into each one and see which one works out for you the best and stick with it.
    In my experience, I am not a good programmer. I can read the code and get a basic understanding of what it doing but to solve a problem or start from scratch, I couldn't do it. my professors were not much help either. They spent more time with the students doing well vs the students that were struggling like me. I took a basic networking class and It was like a lightswitch. I enjoyed working with networks and the hardware. So I took mostly networking classes.

  • @ACT4UCF
    @ACT4UCF 16 дней назад +3

    I learned you can be very good at learning the books but there are some professors who will not give you an A if you miss class even if not mandatory. They will find a way to penalize you whether only asking non book questions that punished you for understanding the books perfectly or some other way. Go to class, you can learn less most of time, and get an A way easier.

    • @ACT4UCF

      To be clear, i could answer every question usually in a book and still see them target people effectively who missed class.

      It depends on what langue you start with, and how quickly you have to start learning other languages. At my university, the first semester was just an intro to Python course and it was easy. But this second semester I have a Java course, and another Python course, and trying to think in two different languages when first starting can be quite difficult at times.
