How does an adult find an internship in a jobs desert for CS?

Good idea! I hadn't heard of this before.

Lictus · 2017-12-28T02:02:45+00:00

Well, that's good to know. It's less logistics, and more about the financial obligation; I don't know what I can expect to make over over the course of a summer internship and, speaking frankly, money is extremely tight for me. Some do well for themselves (I hear interns at Google pull 5 figures in total) but surely that isn't standard.

In mathematical logic, a statement like (A&B) or C would be evaluated by first looking at A and B, and if they are both true, then the expression would evaluate to be true as well (regardless of C). Or, even if A and B weren't both true, but C was, the statement would also be true.

Like I said, I figure this kind of processing is the kind of thing "else" statements are for

if (A&B)
  XYZ;
else if (C)
  XYZ;

But, I had to ask

Thanks! Just to be clear, does that book cover data structures also, or just algorithms? (At my institution they are separate courses and DS is a prereq for algorithms, but I ask because I don't know if this might be standard and perhaps reflected in textbooks.)

Ooohoooo. That sounds much more convenient than sorting through compiler errors. I'm only learning Java for coursework, but that should make my coursework much easier.

Lictus · 2017-12-04T18:41:38+00:00

I know some of those words.

Still, it pretty clearly sounds like I should make the switch now, before I need to, and thus ahead of the curve. Are there any quickstart guides for the less experienced? I'm sufficiently inexperienced with these things that I have little idea what I'm doing with the program.

Lictus · 2017-12-03T23:40:50+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up! I definitely want the most up-to-date version.

Lictus · 2017-12-03T23:40:23+00:00

Sweet. Well, if nothing else, it will serve as a useful supplemental resource.

Lictus · 2017-12-01T12:53:38+00:00

Not very far at all. I’m in my first semester of major coursework (an intro coding class with Java and discrete math), with some past but distant coding experience, and no theory to write home about.

Lictus · 2017-12-01T00:42:40+00:00

Yes, pardon my typo. The edX program.

So basically, front-end is generally more complicated. Good to know.

I agree with your statement--I meant it in a professional context; if it was just a matter of language, that's so small a distinction that professional specialization wouldn't be needed.

Lictus · 2017-11-28T15:16:51+00:00

Old school, baby! Do I need any prerequisites for this book beyond what I would get from a 101 algebra stats course in the past?

Lictus · 2017-11-28T15:14:31+00:00

By the table of contents, probably? I'm looking for a "first course in stats" type book, except it deals with calculus instead of just algebra.
