i can teach you if you want to, dm me
 
just mess around with stuff right now, your still young you won’t have to actuslly worry about anything until your older. experiment, break, and learn.
Thanks I guess :forcedsmile:

Learn C for computer hardware programming, it's the foundation

I was gonna learn java first then C then go c++, I appreciate it though.
I might do C first javas boring

If u talk about hardware engineering that’s my major I’m in my first year that shit is heavy ash if u mean programming try Java or c both good as a begin

Both from same family there a lot of correlations between them anyway if u learned one of them the other one will be very easy to learn in no time but yeah do c if u want

You're completely crazy, it's a race against time, you keep falling further behind, especially in such a competitive country.

its pretty difficult its just one of those things you need interest in to keep you motivated to pursue it, and i was js pissed off im lowk a nerd myself when it comes to hardware and CS, it js takes a lot of time, but if you keep up with it youll turn out fine

Copy paste from a comment

You are quite young man. You are just 15. At your age I was just playing Minecraft all day. You don't need to worry about getting hired or anything like that what I will say is besides focusing on your grades try to explore lot. Try new frameworks. Learn python, fastapi, start GitHub just with an open mind and curiousity. Explore and chat in dev channels and forums and just have fun building and breaking things. There's no need for you to grind on leetcode or frantically build projects to show on resume. Tech space is very vast and you starting young gives you the luxury and opportunity to explore and dip your toes in lots of things to find what you like and what you want to do. Not everything in tech is related to coding there is also many adjacent roles and responsibilities but many people learn they don't like or aren't good at what they thought they wanted to do. Sometimes years after graduation you can prevent that from happening

It's pointless; you'll earn a very basic salary if you want to be broke and waste your life in front of a monitor. But you're right, if you're a geek you'll do well, but if not, you won't.

i know where youre coming from, ive had discussions with my CS teacher about this in HS too lol, though, i actually enjoy sitting in front of a computer and learning more about CS and cysec (i specialize in offensive security but know a lil def) but youre completely right about falling behind. sometimes i js feel like im not enough and theres these few high iq ricecels in my class and they js bitch me in every aspect its brutal jfl. but hey, i dont really mind it and unfortunately its a little too late to go back. however, i did take business classes throughout HS and my fresh yr i took it and i could make a CS related business, like my dad is owner of a web developing business, makes okay money

just take the hardest classes available in your high school right now in that subject matter

youll need a college degree

in the US, you can dual enroll with a community college to save money and finish your actual college degree quicker

in the US you can self study AP classes relevant to that topic such as AP Physics E/M (what im doing)
 
isnt ap cyber basically a joke
i took ap csp, and ap csa in HS and ye they are jokes, freest ap classes of my life got 5's on both ap tests. took csp soph and csa junior

nice, yea its not too difficult, and depending on your course (for me, we used visual block code in MIT app inventor), itll be different IDE's or maybe even programming languages dpedning on th school you go to. idk from what i remember the class was really chill and i had a good experience

there is no need in this many programmers we alr have decent amount. why u should know c plus or python if u can learn how to make sites, apps, adv and basic design even with constructor
dont mind just annihilating the competitors 👌👌👌

I'm doing it right now
I didn't go in with much prerequisites. My course is within the electrical engineering block within the first two years. Try to build some fundamental programming skills first, I started of with python years ago. You won't use high level languages a lot but it was a good gateway. For stuff you'll actually use learn C.
More than anything else make sure your quantitative and systems thinking skills are up to scratch and learn the basic of how computer systems, microcontrollers etc work. Maybe play around with arduinos, learn how to run linux etc.

Hardware engineering != software
Its really moreso electrical engineering than computer science

Thank you!!!

how do you control the masses knowing the most comprehensible coding language :ROFLMAO:
 
I’m gonna learn python next year through college classes provided by my highschool

youll never learn it in school its cope
 
people argue what programming language is the best but that's like arguing which tool is the best to build a house, it really depends

just start with Python - it's easy and your first programs are too simple to require C - then move on to C++ and you'll know both.
for making firmware you will certainly use C++ and not Python since it is faster and light weight but I am assuming you'd prefer an easier learning curve

then you can move on to the basics of electricity, and focus on making your first few circuits. There are starter kits for this online. Learning soldering at this stage would be useful.
begin with switching lights on and off with buttons and your own set of batteries, not just on a breadboard but also soldered on a peg board

then microcontrollers: Arduino is fine for beginners or small projects, but move on to professional microcontrollers like the ESP32, the STM32, the Pico, etc.

then study the components that exist on markets like Digikey or Mouser and combine and mix them like Legos, like a child would play with his Lego set


to make yourself attractive to employers, make your own portfolio of impressive electronics and software projects that you made.
your degree is typically not enough


if you wish to make your own PCBs, I personally use KiCad and I use JLCPCB to order my own custom PCBs...
but I assume this is too advanced for you for now.
