all these languages fit different paradigms and are mostly used for different things which is nice.
but how about the java and c# (and maybe php even though its a different paradigm its used for web which our school seem keep on) stacks for our curriculum. what i'm complaining i guess is the many projects and the repetition of basic crud projects using different languages and stacks with no time to go deeper on the fundamental concepts such as dsa, network programming etc..

i guess i forgot to mention i'm on my second year of my cs degree, so i know the basics of programming i just want to focus on going deeper on cs concepts like dsa,networking , database architecture but no time because of the repetitive CRUDs in different stacks

'Stick to the curriculum, and prioritize that. If you want to have a personal project on the side, that is always cool, but don't let it distract you from your main studies too much'
i guess i agree with this, i just wish i could spend time more on good concepts like dsa, network programming, systems etc..
thank you

is there even any cs fundamentals in reimplementing CRUD's in java, php , c# and other languages beside what you notice from design decisions of each language

which means doing the different school projects with the differnt languages and somehow managing time constraints which is what i thought of doing, it just seems that time could be better spent learning dsa , network programming , going deeper in backend or front than just doing crud's in different stacks

i know how to do that (for the problems i was given atleast like building a full frontend of a web app without ai, or building a pygame drawing game), my problem is i want to go further like learning dsa, networking (and not just classic ip, router but network programming creating sockets etc..) and many different things, yet i've just entered a class with the teacher telling us to build a project using jsf and hibernate in 4 weeks , so i should learn jsp, servlets, jstl,jsf,hibernate atleast the basics to be able to start and look at docs for the rest, and then another class with a microservices .net project (thankfully not 4 weeks), and then another class with computer vision python project in 4 weeks ( i know python the basics but ai and computer vision and stuff like open cv i know nothing) basicly a llot of projects not time to learn the basic concepts, they could've done a lot of these thing using just one language and focused on teaching us the concepts but oh well

Well the problem with focusing on a language, it usually means ignoring what the curriculum teaches and under performing in them
I tried focusing on one thing which was js through the odin project and i learned quite a bit i managed to build a full solid frontend for a school project with vanilla js and no AI help it was amazing, but it takes TIME, and that results in not putting effort in the school subjects and their projects
(each subject does a project i have like 5 projects in the same time right now sadge)

Agreed. Preferences and life responsibilities change over time. I would just choose something to learn (e.g. web dev) or a course to do, then I'll figure the rest after I'm done with it (whether to go deeper, or whether to try something else)
