the first complex project that I did as a beginner was a phone book! With ability to save names, numbers and basic functionalitys such as search, edit and delete It's a good practice for beginners.

[@gragfrenade7438]

Hey! Did you do it yourself or followed a tutorial? If you followed a tutorial, can you please share the link?

[@miladhaghpanah7986]

@@gragfrenade7438 Sorry no, I didn't follow any tutorial because It was the final project of my first semester in university. But if you like to go with a tutorial you can simply search programming a phone book on KZbin, lots of tutorial will pop up😉

The hard part is studying this on a hot day while people outside enjoy themselves and you sit there glued to a screen as your posture slowly morphs into a hunch, but you tell yourself it will be worth it because in 2 years youll be making 6 figures, but in reality an ai will do your job and you'll have to compete with half of india and they'll do whatever you can do for half the price

[@BrianKarmo]

2 years, sheesh, i thought i was ready already, and indians all need visas to work for a us based company, unless they arent paying the feds, but man i dont think ai will take over until about 10+years, and i mean like 90% jobs replaced by ai not just the starting phases.

[@returned_to_monke8872]

@@BrianKarmo idk man CS is such a volatile field. It changes so fast, what works now will most likely become obsolete pretty soon. Whereas, fields like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, biology is stable.

so many jobs in my state bro. i'd say 60% of them are mid - senior level positions but so many openings for new grads or people with 1-4 years experience. both pay and job opportunities will depend heavily on the state you live in, however seeing massive demand for software guys in my state (east coast usa)

[@kell7689]

I like this type of video. Sometimes, as students, we get really great assignments that teach subjects perfectly. My Java II prof made such a great program for learning polymorphism, information hiding, and scalability, and we iterated on it throughout the entire semester as we learned new things. It was called Quizzard, and it was a console app that generates a math quiz of various types of questions depending on the options the user selects. We learned to create an abstract class that had a few operands and an operation symbol, then we would make an AdditionQuestion class that extended it, a SubtractionQuestion, a UnitConversionQuestion (and many more), and we made an Answerable interface to allow for implementing how each question's answer should be calculated, a MathQuestionFactory to generate a list of questions that conformed to Answerable (showing polymorphism), an Input Controller and a beautiful program loop to demonstrate scalability, and so on and so on. Such a brilliant learner project.

[@magicfairycome]

THIS!!! During my programming 1 class in freshman year of college, I learned WAY MORE during homework assignments than I did in all the lectures combined! The only class I've ever taken where I can confidently say I wish there was more homework.

[@Chewy21414]

I just finished my CS degree from WGU and it's really cool to see the projects you made compared to the ones I did. Some are pretty similar and others are way different lol I start with C++, did some Java and then did a lot with python at the end. But also had those random projects done in some crazy language no one uses I guess like you said to learn how to carry over what you learned in one language to another one. Love your videos man hope you and the family are doing good.

POV-Ray, omg, blast from the past! That was the first 3D program I ever learned because (I'm old) it was the only free one available back then, haha.

Yep! Absolutely remember using POV-Ray around 2000 maybe? And would order 3d Studio Max (well before it became 3ds Max) trial discs! And Brazil renderer. Loved that one. Hated when it stopped being updated.

As a student of Mechanical Engineering, I had to learn a lot of methods to solve equations (with single variable and multi variable). Fundamentally, We use those basics to solve bigger problem that is design optimization, which reduces cost and material while sustaining desired qualities. We used MATLAB by the way.

I once heard it compared to following (complex) directions like cooking. How many people can make a cake from scratch from memory? Takes time and practice to be able to internalize and apply the knowledge without the recipe book. Unless you're a savant math isn't instantly intuitive. Don't give you can do it.

going to school for computer science is silly, every course you've mentioned I've covered myself in depth for free with much deeper and elaborate extensions to those fundamentals you learned. Please do not advocate scams

[@AQWLxRaN]

While it is possible to learn all of those above without enrolling into a university course, some people prefer the structured approach a course provides and usually CS courses (or any university environment) is great for networking and getting early job offers. I am glad your route worked for you, but it may not work for others. Please be more thoughtful before throwing accusations.

[@jennym286]

These freelance KZbin self-learning make it sound sooooo easy. Yes if you have crappy resources with crappy teaching styles then college will be useless. That would be the university's fault. On the other part you freelancers make it sound it's so easy to do. You don't however mention that majority of employers will not hire without a bachelor's.2 your dependent on clients as a contract job and if they decide they don't want your services you are screwed. 3 you don't have a stable job. No one knows who you are. 4 Just because you use KZbin or some internet articles does not mean your being given proper information. You could be coding dangerously and have no idea because there is no one to ask. 5 freelancing in general is looked down upon as a person with no stable income which it is. Your incomes fluctuates compared to an actual salary. Yes debt wise college is a racket but your freelancing is much of a scam by how many bums promote it without telling the reality. No one is really going to hire someone with self-taught KZbin knowledge unless you become popular or are a throw back in the early days of programming and internet who did not stop programming.6 you also have less networking opportunities because you are just selling yourself with no umbrella to represent or give preference to. Again you are someone that no one knows. Running KZbin ads can only take you do far why do u think most freelancers move overseas or just stay in their discord communities with a little for-profit website? Because majority can't make it that's why. So they hustle and as you've mentioned, scam! People who cry about college generally were the idiots who couldn't even pass any of their courses. Even the 2.7 is smart enough to get their degree and not drop out and expect to become Elon or Zuckerberg because of it. Those we're windows of opportunities with a technology that was new that they stole from others in a university and made a business from. That is harder to do now unless it's uncharted waters. That's why most of you freelancer/self-taught are selling snake water because you were either lazy, stupid, or wanting to push poor advice around so people can fall for it and get pushed through the ringer like yourselves. Unstable, no network, reliant on others for a job than your own contributions or talent. No thanks us 3.9 gpa know better and laugh in your faces. Just do door to door sales because that is what your basically promoting. Nobodies with nothing to back up their claims of intelligence or ability to do a job properly. Anyone that does hire you is taking a chance besides start ups. Start ups will hire anyone. Smart people get their networks and stability. Dumb people drop out or use college debt as an excuse to stay in the hustle. Some colleges are less expensive than others and in the long run it'll pay off the debt and more of you know what your doing. Some even go to college for free because of programs sponsors and grants. People who use debt are stupid because your going to have to deal with debt if you want a house or a car unless you are rich which almost all majority aren't.
