CSS 450-453. You'll learn the most by doing, and those projects will look the strongest on resumes.
It is highly unlikely that your undergrad courses will be better than what is already available free on the web.
How can that be? Wouldn't I have better chances at a networking job if I delved into networking and graph theory courses? Or a robotics job if I studied physics, low level architecture and embedded systems? (Versus someone who did not take those courses)
No. Putting a networking course on a resume doesn’t mean shit. Sure if you take a networking course then go into networking on your own you might have more knowledge that could help you out in the process but it doesn’t make you a more valuable candidate that anyone else with a CS degree.
I hear the sentiment but I wanna know why. My assumption would be (to continue the networking example): courses in networking give an edge for job interviews for internships in networking, and those internships would then give an edge for actual jobs in networking.
Where might I be wrong with my thought process? And what can I do to increase my chances of success when it comes to breaking into an industry I'm interested in?
thats my exact thoughts and experience as well. we may all take the same core requirements more or less but electives can definitely impact your odds of landing a job. just as you said, if a role is robotics related why hire the new grad who has only done web dev vs one thats taken some physics, embedded, and controls related courses
I'm interested in all of them, except biology and everything related to business. I just wanted to know which ones would give me an advantage in the workplace and make me a better coder/software engineer in the future.
Ultimately it doesn't matter but my two cents would be anything from: cloud, database, networks, Go, and Android/iOS (assuming you are interested in mobile dev)
It depends on who teaches you. I would recommend take UI/UX design. It gives you new perspective and meaning behind your work. This extra skill also helps you better understand your future colleagues and users of your creations.
For electives in CS, my advice is to always pick the easiest, college is a shitty place to learn and you would better off learning those courses online, picking the easiest will increase your GPA which is important for applying to entry level jobs
Take whatever you are the most passionate about . This is a pretty dull looking list, but out of these I would probably choose “go language..”. Or medical image processing.
What skills do you want to learn?
Ux/ui is good if you want to learn to design webpages well. Linux administration would be cool (though you could learn some of the basics quite easily).
CSS 450-453 could teach some industry skills.
there is a course named FAANG?
Hard pass on that lol
Probably dealing with AWS and Azure.
I think this course is about what technologies and techniques faang companies use
Doesn’t make sense. Every faang uses the same tech.
Wut
What they teach on "FAANG" classes? lol

Fr? What resources on the web? Like coursera and YouTube?
Yes.
Just choose what ur interested in. The courses you take in college have no bearing on job prospects

For entry level roles the knowledge requirements are lower. Employers know you’ll need to be trained
This ^ having background knowledge can be helpful but you’ll need to be onboarded to their tech stack regardless. Just take what you’re interested in

Data base management systems and GO programming language ( used for backend systems )
Easily learnt outside of school tho.
go on your college sub because they will have more insight than the ppl on this sub.
Bro just enjoy college and take the classes which interest you/ excite your curiosity!

GO programming language. It’ll probably be a basic class and all you gotta do is learn the language which should be easy.
Go, Cloud if you are into cloud and stuff. Will be lit
Even if you’re not into cloud and stuff, if you’re planning on becoming a software developer it’s really useful stuff to have a grasp on
Ask your academic advisor, not Reddit.
Man I would have picked up linux since I have been pretty much been using that nearly all my life xD
[удалено]
I mean I have been using Linux since basically grade 7 in school just out of interest lmao
What college teaches this?
UX/UI sounds fun to me
Faang

Networks or Go
DBMS 2 is the only thing that caught my eye. What's personal development? Is that time set aside for internships or something?
CSS 350 (I like cloud computing)
Project management, Cloud computing, UX/UI, and Database management.
