I have decided to take on a double major, or maybe a minor depending on my schedule, in computer science. I go to a non-target so I really want to crush these classes. Anyone have any good tips that helped you specifically in comp sci? Anything I should maybe read up on to give myself an edge?
Thanks

Find out what languages are relevant to your classes and try to get an edge by learning the basics of the language(s). Also, CS takes a lot of time. You have to sit down for potentially many hours and be willing to pound out code. Practice is the only way to learn to program. You'll realize how much time you have to dedicate to practice when you run into some challenging logic errors that you have to debug. You have to be able to sit there and figure out what part of your code is wrong (remember that you wrote this code so you have to prove yourself wrong which is quite challenging sometimes). If you have time to learn a language on the side, I would recommend learning C++. C++ is different than almost all other high level languages because you have direct access to memory which gives you incredible power (with great power comes great responsibility). If you have any specific questions, feel free to pm me or write back on this forum. I have no experience with college classes in CS, but I've self taught myself more than I'll learn in my first year to two years of college.
most CS classes in college don't actually revolve around learning programming languages. Its more about learning how to code computationally efficient and organized. I believe the single most important skill in computer science is learning how to write scalable code. Anyone can learn how to computer program, but few can write good code.
