Question

I need to know what are the common things that a computer engineer has to know so as to be a better at his/her field!?

Answer 1

1.Math - a good computer engineer is always good in Math ! by being "good" i mean you have a clear mathematical basic concept.

2. Hardware - one should have a basic knowledge of how electronics actually work at the base level , how processors perform + - * /

3. Assembly - many people might disagree with this but I personally believe a little bit of assembly takes you far. Once you code in assembly you get an understanding of Registers, Stacks, Code Optimization etc.

4. Programming Language - One procedural and one object oriented.

5. Scripting Language - eg. Bash, PHP, Python, ruby can and will make your lives easier at various levels.

6. Markup Language - Basics never hurt

7. SQL - Knowing a little sql will always help

8. Graph Theory and Data Structures - I believe if one can visualize what he is coding, he can code better.

9.Algorithms - You may be smart but there's always a guy who can do it in a better way. Always be on the lookout for elegant and efficient algorithms.
