How to start in computer science?
Nowadays it is difficult to say that a knowledge is essential, but understanding what it is to program is very, very close to being so. If we need to make an appointment with the doctor or send an email to a person on the other side of the world, we will be using a software and it is useful to learn how it works and how to use it.
Computer scientists understand the underlying principles of programming and algorithms and use them to design software, systems and networks to meet the needs of clients and the public. It is a fast-moving, highly specialized field and there is a constant, high demand for talented computer science graduates. Job satisfaction in the field is high, as are starting salaries, so if you like solving problems and have a talent for mathematics and logical thinking, a degree in computer science could be the start of a rewarding career.
But HOW TO START?
First, you need to recognize what you want to develop in order to learn the right language, if you want to do a website you will learn HTML, CSS and JS and if you want to learn how to do a recognition program you will probably learn Python.
As soon as you find the perfect language you can get FREE material to learn online as:
*Youtube
*Free code camp
*EDX
However, if you decide to pay for a course, it is best to document yourself well, explore the options offered by the market. As you progress you can aim for certifications that give you a better position in the field.
Computer science is one of the careers where knowledge and skill above the title or the fact that you have attended the University, if you do not believe me read this note: Elon Musk says you still don’t need a college degree to work at Tesla. Here’s what he looks for in job applicants instead
So don’t hesitate and start to acquire this new knowledge, you will find a community willing to help you and guide you
Happy coding!
