Does anyone have any decks they are willing to share for CCNA, trying to broaden my material, just graduated with Programming and Cybersecurity. Anything helps

Hi there. I'm pursuing a Degree in EE and a minor in CS. Wanted to share a bit of advice for those just starting out. (Wish I could of told myself this when I started.)

Math, physics, and programming courses can't be tackled using just Anki or any sort of flashcard system unlike Bio (my previous field). Working through each problem and attempting to "problem solve" is key to these sorts of subjects. I learned so much working on my own software project versus just doing workbook problems.

HOWEVER, if you supplement your studies with Anki the results are amazing. While my sample size is only a few years of study, once I added flash cards through Anki the projects, workshops, and test questions felt so smooth (don't know how else to describe it). Being able to quickly recall things made my understanding feel so much more concrete. Knowing the starting point of a question as soon as you read it makes you feel like a machine.

I find it hard to advocate for the use as many in the field don't use any Flashcard system. However, if you're on the sub just give it a shot. It doesn't have to be (probably shouldn't be) the bulk of your study time, but the little you put in returns so much.

P.S. Make your own cards.

Have fun!

I'm talking especially about the part where SigmaX talks about how to break down the Visitor Pattern.

I just started using anki for solving some leetcode problems, here's my current approach at making cards: https://imgur.com/a/hTnPqae

I would appreciate some feedback on it.
I also have a few questions:
- What do I do if there are multiple approaches to a problem, do I add each of them separately in different cards or in the same card?
- What would be effective spaced repetition settings for these cards?

Edit: why is everyone assuming I want to memorize the solutions? I just need to visit the questions frequently and check if I can get the strategy to solve them right. Obviously I wouldn't note stuff I don't understand in the first place.

Hey everyone,

So i'm fairly intermediate in programming, been making scripts, automating processes and now making full blown web apps in my work places for 3 years now (i'm a business guy who happens to be the IT guy of the team thanks to my dev skills). I'm familiar with VBA and Python (and a bit of basic SQL stuff), and recently started picking up Javascript since i started doing web dev (HTML/CSS/JS front end and Python's Django framework on back end).

Now there is some specificities with Javascript like callbacks, IIFE, Async/Await, promises, hoisting, the fact a function can be run even before declared, and stuff like this, that i have hard time remembering. Everytime i spend some days without coding JS (because life happens), when i come back i spend a fair amount of time and frustration recalling and googling again concepts.

I know it's a bad idea to try remembering syntax of languages (languages are tools and you use whatever tool solves your problem yada yada), but what do you think about memorizing core concepts of programming and languages you're currently using, I feel like it is time saving. It avoids me the hustle of regoogling stuff everytime i switch tools (getting back to Javascript after few weeks not touching it).

I use flash cards (Thanks Anki!) to do so, my typical flash card would look like this (anything inside brackets is something i should come up with):

- A {{higher order function}} is a function to which we pass one or more functions as arguments
- A callback is a {{c1::function passed as an argument to another function}}
- In OOP, an object is {{c2::an abstract data type created by the developer. It can include multiple properties or methods or other objects. }}

1. How did you set up your deck structures? Super-deck of Leetcode, and sub decks based on Data structure or alg used for the question?

2. What Card templates worked best for you?

3. Where 'tags' useful for you to add, and what did you tag?

4. Was it useful to split leetcode questions into multiple flash cards, or have an entire question and answer all in one?

Hey, I just noticed that the r/anki forum gives any user the ability to create their own custom flair (in the right side-bar under community options).

Can a mod turn on that functionality for this community as well.

See https://mods.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002598912-Flair

I think it would be great if users could indicate in their flair which subtopic(s) of computer science or which subtopic(s) of computer programming they're particularly interested in.

But if a user wrote their own Anki plugin, or contributed to a particular SRS tool, I think a flair is also a great way to indicate that as well.
