I found this channel randomly; glad I stopped by! Great content!

[@MagdelineHuang]

Thanks John!

[@studywithme-2030]

What an useful video Magdeline. Thank you so much for motivating us

[@awesomecosmos]

Another great video, Magdeline! These are great tips! Looking forward to the next one! :D

[@MagdelineHuang]

Thanks Aayushi 😍 I'm sure you have some awesome tips for STEM students too so feel free to share the love! :D

[@lily_here-]

I really love your video! I'm also studying computer science

[@GavinBishop072]

Hey great video Madeline. I’ve always been interested in compsci and this is cool to see what it’s like and you’ve learned!

[@MagdelineHuang]

Hey Gavin, thanks for your feedback! I just checked out your channel and super cool to find another Otago Uni student! Awesome that you're documenting your Med journey too :)

[@GavinBishop072]

@@MagdelineHuang Hey thanks! Are you continuing in Otago next year?

[@MagdelineHuang]

@@GavinBishop072 Unfortunately not, I just graduated!

[@GavinBishop072]

@@MagdelineHuang Ah yeah I saw that! Sorry I meant will you be continuing in Dunedin or moving to the big city?

[@jayteylee]

Another amazing vid Magdeline! Just a question, what sort of portfolio work would you suggest starting to do in 1st year? Obviously I’m super fresh into the course so I’m curious what type of work I could be working on to put in my portfolio with such little programming knowledge? :O

[@MagdelineHuang]

Great question Jay! To start off, you could learn some web development basics eg HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. HTML and CSS require minimal programming knowledge, so you can create a simple website with just those as a first project. JavaScript is much more technical. Here's a course you could follow (I haven't done it myself, but Ania makes really good content!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp6Xc4KYnZmAnqs As you dig deeper, you will learn that there's more than just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Eg for CSS, you will learn that there's something called SCSS, and for JavaScript, there are frameworks / libraries like React, Vue etc. One thing to remember though is that you don't need to know 100% of something before moving on. Eg you don't need to know 100% of JavaScript before using React. A basic understanding of JavaScript should be enough to get you going, and then you can learn more along the way. That being said, it is definitely best if you have a strong foundation in JS before using one of those frameworks / libraries, but with there being so many things to learn in tech, we gotta learn how to navigate efficiently ahaha 😂

Hi Magdeline, please what is your suggestion for getting good on Calculus? Any recommendations on a good textbook?

[@rashedulkabir6227]

Can you make a video about postgraduate CS students who has weakness in academia?

[@kaikenxl6800]

codewars is also good for practicing problem solving skills

[@krishnasrivastava2855]

I will get hooked to your content now I am going to my first year in a cs degree thanks for the videos hope so you will tell more , one question I am learning my first language that is Java so what would you recommend me to do after this like any project or learn anything else

[@MagdelineHuang]

Thank you! You could do a Java project since you are learning that! If you want to know more about what programming language to learn or any resources, you can check out my latest video :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3Owl2WlZ7KJesk

How learn skill online before joining the course

[@rtudy3006]

Hello, thank you so much for the video, it was really helpful. I have a question, how do you gain information about getting and internship or is there any website that I can find available internships? Thanks!

[@MagdelineHuang]

Hey! You can check out summeroftech.co.nz/, nzmsa.netlify.app/MSAProgramme and jobdun.co.nz/

[@rtudy3006]

@@MagdelineHuang Hi thank you so much, I was wondering if MSA programme is going on in 2022? Because the registration only says 2021. Thanks

[@jenjenkins8932]

I noticed you kept mentioning a project. What do you mean? Is there an optional project that comes along with your assignments/courses or is it something you have to look for online, manual make a random project, etc?

[@MagdelineHuang]

What I mean by project is something that you build to practise your skills. Eg it could be a calculator, to-do list app, game, app etc - basically anything! You can search for inspiration online.

[@jenjenkins8932]

@@MagdelineHuang You can make apps just from programming and coding?? Holy crap I have so much to learn. Although I did have a question. I want to be a software engineer in games, or just work as an engineer for Amazon. The college I want to go to offers software engineering major specifically rather than CS, any tips on which one fits for me?

[@sutofana]

magdeline,what do you think of taking cs for pre-med?

[@MagdelineHuang]

Hello, I actually did pre-med in my first year of university then made the switch to CS in my second year. I share more about this here kzbin.info/www/bejne/epXCZa2cor5gl6Msi=2tcz6NLHRPjp_D9n! In terms of taking CS for pre-med, I can't really advise on that sorry 😅

Hi Madeline , I'm one of your subscribers and often see your videos. I have 2 questions for my child. my child this year in september will go to the UK to take the undergraduate cyber security & digital forensics program. my question is : - As a cyber security student, what laptop is suitable? is it windows or mac os? what are your recommended specs? - in your opinion, which is better to take computer science or cyber security? what are the pluses and minuses especially in terms of career? Thanks

[@MagdelineHuang]

Thanks for the comment and apologies for the late reply! I answered the laptop question in my latest KZbin video kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3Owl2WlZ7KJesk but long story short, I don't think it matters what laptop you get, whether it is windows or mac os. In terms of studying cs or cyber security, it's really up to the individual and tbh I don't know much about what a cyber security degree would entail. I hope your child is enjoying their degree so far! 😄

[@PeanutsandPopcorn]

I just need someone to do this calculus class for me. I hate this ish.

You can do it! I believe in you 🥹
