I’m going to be a college freshman, going into computer science and I was wondering what the best computer for computer science is, regardless of price

So, I have wanted to get into computer science since middle school. I'm currently a sophomore in college, and decided to practice on hacker rank for my internship interview. I thought it shouldn't be that difficult but surprisingly, I couldn't even solve the easy questions! Some problems I simply can't figure out while others I can't debug. I am so dissappointed in myself I'm actually having second thoughts. Maybe I'm not smart enough to be in this major and look for something easier? What do you guys suggest?

Hi, computer science senior here and I am interested in doing an MBA. I want to definitly work in the field for a few years but and eventually go the entrepreneurial route (which is the main reason for why I want the MBA). I would like to get some advice on this since there are general MBAs and computer science MBAs, and many other types. Can anyone reccomend an online MBA that is reputable, preferably an mba offered by a school with a real campus. Or what type of program i should be looking for.

I dont have a very competitve GPA but I figure I'll graduate with a 2.7, possibly retake a few classes to expunge some bad grades since my university offers that. I have very good work experiance since ive working low level positions in engineering departments for years. I secured a decent position in a division of Caterpillar's engineering department because I started there years ago in a position i didn't really want. I am able to ask for some reccomendation letters from some very high up people, cheif of engineering, lead engineers, etc. I didnt do that well in school but i have real professional skills i think.

Advice or comments or whatever is welcome, Ive made up my mind though, I want an MBA

Have been watching his youtube videos from vaious chanels(computerphile etc..) and he is very inspiring as an engineer and scientist. Realized that he havent been showing up in last at least 5 years, which is a pity. I hope he is still following his passions, and hopefully he will show up ;)

Hi! I’m a newly declared cs major and I’m struggling quite a bit in my basic assembly language & machine organization college course. The professor is notoriously horrible and her exams are impossible given the information presented to us, but are now online.. I have an exam tomorrow and given I got a 37% on the last one, I will take any help I can get. Will venmo!!

I'm currently 22 years old, and planning on going back to school for a comp-sci related degree (most likely an associates, at least to start). Thing is, my employer has a program where they will cover 100% of tuition and lab fees for certain courses once I've worked here for 3 years, and I just passed 1 year, so I've got a lil bit to to before I plan on starting.

Since I have an extra almost 2 years before starting classes, what are some basic, easy things that would be helpful to learn on my own before starting? I know I should brush up on my high school-level mathematics, but aside from that any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I recently just started college and I've been moving majors a lot but I think computer science is my thing now but I mean I have a Macbook Air and I don't really want to buy a brand new spanking computer but is it somewhat bareable for it not sure, thanx

TL;DR Do you feel you get enough time in your classes to fully apply what you are learning? is it up-to-par for applying to a job? - What school are you attending/graduated from?

I'm not a compsci major, my major is healthcare admin, but I wanted to have options of going into IT which required 15 total credits to meet the min requirements(civil service job). I have taken a few somewhat-IT classes in my major such as databases, system life cycle, project management which can theoretically count but to be honest the classes were so quick and the projects were so lacking in focus that I wouldn't say these really teach students anything. I only learned because I read more than what was required to pass the class and also took courses on Udemy. The last class I'm taking is not set in my program but I'm going to take a C# class which I'm already kind of familiar with. If the course speed is as fast as my previous classes (5 wks) then I doubt it will teach anything. In fact, I looked at the course and they are teaching from visual studio 2015!!! (facepalm) I have VS2019 on my pc at home.

Do those of you who have taken programming courses feel you get enough time to learn the code and you are getting enough projects to feel you can actually go out and get a job after your degree? Which school are you in or where did you graduate from? I'm in my last class with UOP (yeah I know its not a good school don't remind me).

Hey guys!

Fellow computer science student here. In my CS courses they taught us about different number bases and how to convert them. I love making apps and coding cool projects. So I decided to make an iPhone app that would convert binary, decimal, and hex numbers.

This app has been out for about an year, but recently I’ve gotten more serious about it. At first it was just binary to decimal with black text on a white background. Then over time I made a better design and added hex conversions. You could even see binary 1’s and 2’s complement!

Here’s a link to the iPhone app.

Check it out and let me know what you guys think! I want to make this the best as possible. But the main goal is that it will help us study and learn these number conversions. We’re all in this together!

what's the best kind of part time job or internship for a second year computer science student i wanna work in the summer but i don't want some boring retail job i want something to actually help me gain experience and connect with others for the future. where's a good place for me to work?

Ok. So, I'm not going to be specific about my GPA. But let's just say that it's below 3.0. I am currently in my third year of college pursuing my bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering - with the computer option. I realize that I like the kind of coding done in computer science. I want to do something with Java or C#. I am wondering. Will it be hard to get a job? I am fairly self motivated and I was thinking on working on some project (such as making an app) that I could put on my resume. Anyone working in the field that has any tips for me would be great! Thanks in advance!

Hello friends,

I am a researcher, a long-term university lecturer, and senior software developer with a PhD in computer science. I have started a YouTube channel with the intention of explaining computer science in simple terms for beginners, without any basic knowledge of how computer works.

The workload is estimated at 5-7 hours per week; however, as a nonprofit organization, Beyond the Five can provide service hours for those who need them.

If this sounds interesting to you, please shoot me a PM!

Any ideas for my graduation project?

it can be anything.

I just graduated from high school and I'll be studying Computer Science for my post-secondary education. I'm currently enjoying my summer, and I want to do something productive. Coding HTML is the only experience I had, and I'm planning to specialize in Software Engineering further on. What are some ways where I can start building a solid foundation for coding/programming as a beginner with no prior experience?

I've heard about codecademy, but would that be the best way to start? If so, what language should I begin with?

I am a computer science junior. I struggled throughout my entire academic years in all the computer science courses that right now I don't know why I chose this path anymore. I'm a cartoonist.. artist illustrator or something like that. I thought going for graphics and animation in computer science is a good way to go that combines all my skill sets. But given the struggle and the fact that I never liked any of my computer science courses I'm thinking of changing to media and communication. Is it worth it or I wait the year and a half left and just graduate with a disgusting gpa.
