I’m at the end of my first year of university in the bachelor of computing science, so here are a few of my tips for 1st year computing science majors (or people who are wanting to learn programming even), some I would like to have heard before starting university. 1 | No, you don’t need to have any knowledge about programming before your classes. I always thought you needed to have at least completed a beginner’s course in codecademy to understand my first year classes, but that’s complete utter bullshit. Sure, it’d probably help to have some prior experience with programming (in any language really, just to get your feet wet), but you’re going to university for the sole purpose of learning. So don’t worry about being behind before you even started, but if you have time, it won’t hurt to learn a little bit.

2 | Theory is important. I really don’t know if this is a common thought that some programmers have, but I’ve had a few classmates disagree with me when I say that reading the textbooks and understanding the concepts is really important. They argue that they can learn better by trial and error, experimenting. And yes, that is also something you should do, try to figure things out yourself, but learning the concepts will save you a lot of time and headache.

3 | There is no shame in looking up a few lines of code online, but make sure you understand it. Before I say anything, I want to make clear that what I am talking about is not plagiarizing someone else’s work, even if it is publicly displayed on the internet: it’s unethical and defeats the purpose of learning. What I mean is, yes, we all look up at StackOverflow a function that fits what we’re trying to do, I used to do that with for-loops when I first learned them, but always read through those lines of code and try to understand what is going on, how does it do the thing it does y’know?

4 | Practice, practice, practice. Like any other skill, the only way to properly learn and become really good at coding is by… coding. So besides your assignments at university, seek out for other exercises or challenges online and try them out. Or you can even come up with something yourself! Write literally anything that comes on your mind, which will become easier to think about every time you learn something new in class.

5 | Don’t let others intimidate you. This was probably my biggest problem in the first few weeks of uni: almost all of my classmates already had quite an extensive knowledge of programming. That is not uncommon, as a lot of people decide to go into CS after trying out a bit of programming in their teen years. But that does not mean they’re better than you or that you will never get as good as them. It all depends on you and the effort you will put into programming.

6 | Go to the labs!!!!!!! I swear, if you have labs and don’t go to them, you’re basically boycotting yourself. Professors help so much during the labs, even if they’re not helping you specifically. Even if the lab is not for an assignment in particular, you can always bring your own personal little projects or even ask that one thing you’re not 100% sure you got that takes like a minute to answer.

7 | Don’t try to learn every single thing at once. If you have little to no knowledge of programming, like I did in my first semester, you may find yourself hung up on a few things. For example, first thing that I learned in my Java class was the System.out.println statement. Along with it, my professor put it inside a method that went like this: public static void main(String[] args). Despite my professor telling us we would learn all about it later in the class, my brain was just going “what? why is it public. what do you mean void?????? wtf is args”. Truth is, I didn’t need to learn that at first, and if I tried to it’d probably be worse than not knowing, since I wasn’t prepared to learn something like that. So don’t rush things, you will learn it sooner or later. This was way longer than I expected, but I hope it helps someone! I didn’t do much planning before writing it and I did everything on the go, so I’m sorry if a few things are not really concise.

Model Karlie Kloss Thinks More Women Should Code. Here's What She's Doing About It

There’s a new model for women in tech. A supermodel, in fact. And this time next year, a few more women might be working in tech, thanks to her.

Karlie Kloss is one of the highest-paid models in the world, according to Forbes’ 2015 ranking, but she keeps rolling out new entrepreneurial and philanthropic endeavors. She’s launched a well-trafficked YouTube channel, collaborated with Milk Bar on Klossies — wheat-free, dairy-free cookies that raise money for charities — and sponsored coding camps for high school girls. “For me, success is having the opportunity to pursue my passions, especially those that can impact other people,” Kloss says.

With her latest passion project, Kloss wants to “simultaneously close the job gap and gender gap in tech,” and empower women to become professional developers.

Today she opens applications for the Kode With Klossy Career Scholarship. Every month, one new winner will get free access to a nine-month code class — valued at $12,000 — that prepares her for a career in tech. Through the Flatiron School’s Learn.co online campus, participants will learn multiple coding languages, create a GitHub portfolio and work together to make web apps. Graduates can apply for apprenticeships at partnering companies, which include Instagram, WeWork, Conde Nast, New York Magazine and Vice.

Kloss sees the social significance of getting women in tech: “I think women are currently an underutilized and poorly-supported group of potential employees in an industry that has a widening gap of unfilled jobs. So I think the opportunity is just tremendous.”

Indeed, the lack of gender diversity in tech is well documented. There are many programs — Girls Who Code, Black Girls Code — trying to get girls excited about code, as well as professional programs to help adult women kickstart careers in tech, such as Girl Develop It and Hackbright Academy. But none have had a supermodel mascot on board to bust stereotypes.

Kloss is a natural champion for code literacy among women, because she’s a student herself. In 2014, she took her first coding class at the Flatiron School. Her curiosity about technology brought her in for a 2-week intro class, and has kept her coming back for 2 years now. Though she’s the first to admit she’s still learning, she makes time in her busy schedule for coding lessons with the Flatiron School’s cofounder, Avi Flombaum.

“What’s unique about working with Karlie is that this is purely her own intellectual curiosity,” Flombaum says. “She’s passionate about learning — not just code, but a lot of things. And she’s become passionate about sharing that learning experience. I have no doubt that curiosity is one of the things that helps her stand out in her industry and drives her to do things that most people don’t, entrepreneurship included.” (x)

Hey how to get well versed in programming?I learnt C++ but when it comes to competitive programming I find it hard to solve the problems

hi, thanks for asking! i don’t have a lot of experience with competitive programming, but i think i can point you to the right direction.

you can only get better at programming with practice, but i’m sure we all know that. competitive programming is a great way to practice, but it can be frustrating when you can’t solve an exercise. that’s why i’d start looking into solved examples of competitive programming exercises, where you don’t have the time constraint that most challenge websites do. take your time analyzing and understanding each part of the code.

of course that won’t do you any good if you lack the knowledge to understand it. make sure you become familiar with data structures and algorithms, as some programming courses fail to teach those. i myself am only learning it right now! and a lot of the exercises/challenges demand you to have that knowledge.

here are a few websites that can help you more than i can!

for data structures & algorithms:

How do I start learning or strengthen my knowledge of data structures and algorithms?

Data Structures and Algorithms by CS Dojo | A playlist on Youtube from CS Dojo briefly talking about some important concepts

Top 10 Algorithms and Data Structures for Competitive Programming

Full Data Structures Course by freeCodeCamp.org

Advanced Data Structures

for getting started with competitive programming:

Getting started with Competitive Programming

How to begin with Competitive Programming?

How to become a Master in Competitive Programming?

Tips and Tricks for Competitive Programmers 1 & 2

more useful resources for later:

7 Best Coding Challenges Websites

How to approach a coding problem?

Writing code faster during Competitive Programming in C++

Which C++ libraries are useful for Competitive Programming?

Must do Math for Competitive Programming

there are a lot of links i know, it can be quite overwhelming! but they’re there mostly as guidelines for you to choose your own path while learning ds&algorithms/competitive programming. good luck!

and yes most are from geeksforgeeks but i love that website what can i do
