Welcome to the Computer Science Career Path! Get an overview of the journey ahead of you, save some helpful resources, and join our community. Then dive into the field of computer science and the exciting opportunities ahead.

Kickstart your coding journey as you learn all about the programming language Python, and the techniques used when writing it.

Learn how to program on your computer! Developing locally is a key skill for any programmer.

Develop your own application using the Python programming language, the terminal, and git! Use your coding skills to make a tourism recommendation service.

Practice using key data structures like strings, modules, and dictionaries. Then, learn to create objects using key object-oriented programming principles.

Bring together what you have learned in the previous lessons and build a text-based game in Python.

Learn how to create and use Nodes, Linked Lists, and Doubly Linked Lists in Python.

Learn how to use key data structures like Queues, Stacks, and HashMaps in Python.

Start learning about basic algorithmic concepts like asymptotic notation, recursion, searching algorithms, and sorting agorithms. Explore algorithms like Naive Pattern Search, Bubble Sort, Merge Sort, Quick Sort, and Linear Search.

Learn about bubble sort, merge sort, and quicksort and how to implement them in Python.

Learn about dynamic programming in Python and implement common problems like the Knapsack Problema and Longest Common Subsequence.

Learn how to create Trees in Python and how to use Breadth-First Search (BFS) or Depth-First Search (DFS) to traverse them.

Put your knowledge of data structures and algorithms to the test with this open-ended project!

Databases store the information that your app uses to function. Learn about different types of databases, how to work with a relational database, and how to locally set up PostgreSQL.

In this unit, you'll learn how to work more in-depth with databases, creating more sophisticated SQL queries and calculations to build data-intensive applications.

The design of a well-organized database can better facilitate the interactions of your application. Learn best practices to set up your PostgreSQL database.

Optimizing a database can make storage and retrieval of information faster — learn how to implement techniques that will let your database work efficiently.

Use your understanding of computer architecture and Python to build a CPU simulator.

Learn about the main physical components of a computer are, why 0 and 1 are such important numbers within computing, how instruction set architecture (ISA) establishes communication between the hardware and software components of a computer, and more.

Use your understanding of computer architecture and Python to build a CPU simulator.

Dive into discrete math, the math of computer science! Learn about proofs, binary, sets, induction, and more! We'll also dive deeper into topics like recursion.

It’s important to learn interviewing skills to help you land your target role. Technical and behavioral interviews can be exciting, but also intimidating. Don’t worry though, we’re here to help.
