My respect literally went through the roof that you went for your bachelors and then went back to do the undergrad cs courses and then went for your masters! That’s some dedication right there. Specifically after not spending your entire undergrad on that level of critical thinking and pure logic.

That's crazy to hear someone talk about Prolog! Neat little language, took two semesters of it during my undergrad. Very few people seem to even know it exists.

[@logank]

4 months late, but I hope you see this comment. I just graduated and one of the professors I had is about 30 years behind the times. In one of my classes with him, we worked on prolog for 6 weeks, where we then compared it to Haskell as a logic vs functional language. Not the best use of modern languages, but despite the headaches, both languages were kind of fun to mess around with.

Stallings also has some more advanced material if you want to deep dive into networking and Mike Meyer's Network+ exam preparation material gives a whole other, not only theoretical/real life approch that can add a lot of depth to your knowledge.

[@arturo.gonzalex]

Your case looks similar to mine, I also got first degree in human science and decided to change my curriculum the fastest way: a university-kind organisation with attitude - if you pay, you can study as long as you want, where 'master degree' is just a shortened version of bachelor degree by level of competency. I once got myself in debt studying in one of universities of London, and still failed. Now I study Master Degree in Computer Modeling at University of Vilnius(LT), I also needed prerequisites for that, but more modules: Discrete math, algorithms and ds, OOP, databases, computer architecture and software development - was a foundation year. Now I study: Nonlinear modeling, cryptography, spatial db, java tech, advanced algorithms, information security, data analysis, data visualization , master project on neural networks and thesis. That includes a lot of maths(differential equations, linear algebra, geometry etc) I probably should be hired by google if I were american. But I live in eastern europe :) and pay 0 money for my studies(excluding some course retakes) My advice: choose carefully what you are going to study
