Gyasi Linje I live about 30 minutes from Ohio University I live in meigs I’m a high school student. I’m thinking about going to either OU or Washington state but I can’t decide

[@justinjj8976]

What programing languages are in you're school's curriculum?

[@margaretkelting484]

Thanks for posting. My son is a Computer Science major at Ohio University.

[@Michael-yj6kk]

I’m going to pursue this degree when I get out of the army in Jan2020, I like the channel. I feel like it’ll give me a solid idea of what to expect. Thank you!

Im thinking ab attending OU next year , what’re some of your favorite things ab the school or words or advice for someone thinking ab going

[@GyasiLinje]

That's so exciting to hear! I love that the school is surrounded by a college town, and I also enjoyed being in the middle of no where which helped me stay focused, and there are so many other things I love as well! My advice to someone thinking about going to OU and any college is to make sure that the school aligns with your heart, mind, and gut.

[@gilmaralberto6720]

keep up!!!

[@GyasiLinje]

Thank you I will so glad to see you apart of the fam!

[@DigitalHorizon]

Are you working in software as an intern, or full-time now?

[@OpticClix]

I have a question I think you could help me with. What advice would you give computer science students in their freshman year of college to do outside of school? I’m starting next semester and I really want to be the best that I can be. Obviously as years pass by I’ll learn more and more but I’d like to know what I can do my freshman year to try to stay ahead of the curve.

[@GyasiLinje]

I would do some web development because you can find a lot of fun projects to immerse yourself in. I’d also do some fun side projects in the language that your university teaches your curriculum in and watch KZbin videos on functions, files and classes!

[@Zeegoner]

lmao "functions, files and classes"

[@swahagaming5261]

Hey bro , please continue doing these. Wish i could see more of your code

[@GyasiLinje]

I will bro! Stay tuned.

[@rohangovindaiah1542]

Hey! These questions always are in my head.... So I'll ask you this. For majors in computer science what programming languages should you know beforehand and what all should you learn before getting into majors?

[@aarnamanifest270]

rohan govindaiah you really don’t have to know any languages before college but I’d day get into python just to get yourself warmed up before starting school

[@prod.kashkari3075]

I never took coding in hs, and had no prior experience and I’m a data analytics major at osu currently as a freshmen, intro java is pretty hard for me to pickup easily especially when I’ve never done it in the past, and so the fast pace of lectures is making me kinda behind, does anyone know of some resources where i can practice the logic and thinking part of it?

[@goofybetch7035]

Yoo I’m a freshman in Oklahoma and how’s it going I’m looking to become a it because the job seems fun I love working with technology and is Osu good for this major?

[@prod.kashkari3075]

@@goofybetch7035 for data analytics? Yeah I meant it’s decent, it’s basically just the cs major but with some stats classes but it’s hella competetive, u have to actually apply to the major which sucks, I ended up switching to stats, but that’s cause I wasn’t interested in the upper level cse classes as much as the upper level statistics classes.

[@KGcodes]

Those school days; I miss a lot of it, except the exams lol. The programming classes were actually the easiest for me. It was the random gen ed classes that would kill me smh

[@Hgh38]

I am college student and seeing this video makes me really miss in person classes.

[@LeBronJames-gk4ls]

Did u switch majors at all? If so why?

[@mahdikhlil6259]

I have a question I want to study computer science but I don't know nothing about coding . Can I follow my dreams or do something am good at but don't like. Please answer

[@marcsman07]

My BOI: the first step at being good at something is being bad at it. In my humble opinion you should DEFINITELY learn to code and follow those dreams. Even if you don't end up getting a job as a software engineer, knowing how to code is still useful because you can apply those skills pretty much anywhere. There are tons of tutorials and resources online to help you get started. Try codecademy.com I graduated college last year with a CS degree I'm currently in systems engineering; mainly working on back-end web services. When I got started with coding in high school with a simple Java course I had no idea I'd end up where I am today. It was a difficult and sometimes frustrating journey but it was very much worth it for me.

[@mahdikhlil6259]

@@marcsman07 thank you my guy i know what i have to do now

[@GyasiLinje]

Great question! I think everyone should learn some aspect of programming since it's so important in tech. However, my advice is always do something you like until you make enough money to do what you love.

[@xena3751]

more! videos!

[@yelw2304]

At 3:20 What is that? Sorry, I wanna get into to coding but I don't know what that is? Is that like a certain app you can download? I'm very confused.

[@zeyode]

He essentially did the equivalent of opening the command prompt and typing "tree". There's no coding going on there. He's just trying to pretend that he's a super elite hacker for the camera. You'll usually see tech support scammers doing the same thing to pretend that they're finding a bunch of viruses in your computer, when in reality they're just opening a list of the directories in your hard drive.

[@zakm3983]

Love your videos man. I’ve been studying html these past couple of days and i was wondering, which language do you recommend for beginners?

[@zeyode]

Python's probably the easiest to pick up. Just make sure you look up data types. Knowing how those work will save you a lot of headaches in both debugging, and switching to other languages. If you're mostly gonna be doing web stuff though, javascript is something I'd highly recommend looking into.

[@tbg6070]

I personally wouldn't recommend python for beginner; it could give someone false expectation that coding is easy (given the rather easy syntax of python). I'd recommend picking up C++ personally@@zeyode

[@zeyode]

@@tbg6070 Maybe, but I feel like starting out with c++ isn't a good idea to start with for the opposite reason, being that it might scare them off when they might have otherwise enjoyed it. The idea is that they learn the fundamentals of programming from Python, and then branch out to other languages.

[@JMS_Hunter]

it depends on what is your long term goal. and your level of pain tolerance. (lol just messing with you) Python is easy to pick up, but moving on to something else might be hard. C++ is harder at first and maybe also in the end. but taking something else afterwards won't be that hard. so I'll go to the middle. pick Java and see if you like it. that's where I started in school. but not longer using java. Before jumping into coding you it would be a good idea learn something about programming logic.

What is the name of this track?

[@andrewkochi7625]

Hey gyasi, loving your content! I'm a computer information systems student and my major emphasizes in cyber security. I'm in summer break, going into my last 2 semesters to graduate, and during my summer break, I discovered that i love front-end web dev and learning python. My CIS curriculum taught me intermediate java and about cyber forensics, etc. Do you think I can get a software dev job such as yourself with my major? The title is Business Admin/Computer information systems with an emphasis in cyber security. Thank you. Also, what programming languages do you know?

[@GyasiLinje]

Thank you for reaching out! I definitely think you can get a job with that major I would work on some side projects that can reflect your skillset. Such as developing a mobile app and or website. I know a lot of languages but I've coded mostly in C++, HTML,CSS,JavaScript, Angular, C# and Python.

[@Alex-kt6dy]

Would you recommend buying a Mac book pro for coding?

[@GyasiLinje]

Yes most definitely!

[@zeyode]

Definitely not. Apple is like the EA of tech companies. Definitely use windows or linux instead. Unless you already bought it, in which case, whoops :p

[@kmelissa6371]

Zeyo Mac runs off of a Linux based OS

[@zeyode]

@@kmelissa6371 Not quite. Both Linux and Apple's XNU kernel are Unix based, but they're still different kernels. And you're not gonna find Linux making it impossible to modify or repair your pc without bricking it, so that you're forced to go to a certain company's store and have them fix your PC for the price you bought it for. That's more Apple's speed.

[@JMS_Hunter]

Now days it doesn't do much difference. I hadn't hear of something that can't be installed in a mac. and even if there is something you can't get installed there you can run it from a virtual machine. so it comes to personal preference. but I am a windows user so. take my advice with the included salt.
