Question

Dear All, i'm yoshua, Honestly, i'm a Newbie who wants to study all about computer science, would you mind to suggest me, what should i do firstly to master it at all? thanks for the response(s). GBU :)

Answer 1

k.....how much do you already know?? Do you know any programming language. Computer Science is a vast field but programming is an essential skill for all.

Answer 2

i'm using C, i have well known in C programming, and i already a lil bit learnt about tree

Answer 3

K.....great. Which OS do u use in your computer

Answer 4

I'm using windows 7, i'm sorry if i had any mistake, because i really2 beginner :(

Answer 5

dear Yoshua,

Basically, if you want to master CS not only its practical implementation but also its theoretical basis, I suggest you to deepen your understanding on Calculus and Discrete Mathematics

Those subjects will give you good basis in CS
Subsequently, you may learn algorithm and data structures as a next step..

Programming language is necessary, but don't try to master them all... Basically you need to master at least 3 languages to be a 'complete' programmer :
1 general purpose : C, C++, Java
1 network : PHP, ASP
1 scripting : Python, Ruby, Perl

Answer 6

Dear Yoshua,
Computer Science is all about software and hardware, if you know C language in advance then it will give u basis to learn other languages also.Further if u explore it (C language) you would be provided by opportunities to join robotics also using embedded C language.i will recommend u to use GNU/Linux OS as it provides interaction with tools and various in build methods in order to achieve ur task.
Subsequently when you do robotics u would be able to learn core fields related to it such as digital electronics and also able to learn basic hardware functionality.

Answer 7

I won't suggest you any methodical approach to learning Computer Science. I will advise you to switch to using Linux OS (ubuntu, kubuntu etc...). Using these you will get an idea of how a computer operates. You might face several problems while switching from Windows to Linux but you will learn to solve them on your own. This is 'teaching you how to fish' approach to learning computer science :)

Answer 8

thanks guys, i will try to switch my OS, hmm, i like Calculus and Discrete Mathematics.
may i ask you guys if i had any problem? thanks before :)
