So I’ve just started my Master’s in CS and wanted to know what subjects (aside from DS and Algo) to review from my bachelor’s that would be important to know while searching for a job as well as which would be useful while on the job. The reason I ask is because I kinda bumbled my way through my Bachelor’s and didn’t really study the subjects well so I want to take the time to relearn them if they’re important to whatever job I’m gonna get (most probably software engineering). For reference here are some of the subjects that were part of my curriculum:
- Data Structures using C
- Design and Analysis of Algorithms
- OOP using JAVA
- Database Management Systems
- Operating Systems
- Software Engineering
- Data Communications
- Compiler Construction
- Object Oriented System Development
- Computer Networks
- Web Programming and Services
- Distributed Systems
- Embedded Systems
- Software Project Management
- Artificial Intelligence
- Data Mining
So is OOP even worth studying atleast for interview purposes? (And java is the only language I'm decent in :agony-wholesome: )
Also, I should give the functional programming intro video that's been sitting in my watch later playlist for 6 years a shot eh? Or is there an even better programming paradigm?
I love functional programming, but sadly it's not that helpful for getting a job. The only area where functional programming really seems to have become mainstream is web dev, and that's mostly because of React.
There's no such thing as the best paradigm, learn what seems cool or what employers want. Sadly, those will usually be two different things.
