Does anyone have any suggestions on software development colleges in Texas, and in the United States in general?

Answer 1

you study a lot on your own , do a lot of coding , when in doubt Google it , if Google not helping , ask in SoloLearn,
follow good PROGRAMMERs in SoloLearn , ask them for any guidance if ur really stuck.
learn
challenge
code a lot
talk less and do more ( I'm still working on this one😅)
that's it

Answer 2

Answer 4

you know in retrospection , I regret wasting my 6 years ( 2 years extra for paperbacks😅) for a CS degree from a mediocre college , although it was not bad as i was presented with all opportunities to grab , but I guess , when it comes to practical learning colleges are wastage of time, but not if you're going for degree sake.
after all what good is a programmer if he can't solve real life problems( and with real life I mean current generation, not stone age IT issues being taught at colleges, by retired enginneers , Industry quitters or wannabe SEs). well I am also to blame for not studying well, but since there are thousands like me in my country who feel the same therefore I feel there's something wrong with the system ( maybe USA has better teaching facilities and faculties even for mediocre colleges)

but sometimes college does inculcates few other values like ...
to get more open to world, friendship, trust , authenticity , and few other stuffs like that

but if going because of above reasons then army schools are better option.😸( u can always learn programming later )

srry , for not providing any good college info for Texas coz I am from another country , but just wanted to share my feelings.

Answer 5

@clint, why do you wanna learn programming, this question will help to answer ur question , trust me, take ur time,
example for me it's the best way to make money by doing things that I can enjoy (😄 sometimes), specifically talking then here it is, I played games for a very long time, surfed web for even longer time, now I don't wanna be a consumer of services but a creator of one , and you know what it just clicked me recently and has been driving me to study more and more, I learned more from courses , web tutorials , than my college could ever taught ( although it came a bit easy for me because of my background)

Answer 6

this guy also knows what I am talking about, and he's ( was😅) from MIT

Answer 7

Interesting perspective Morpheus. Personally I have only been learning for around 3 months I started here and I am enjoying it.

Answer 8

You can challenge players directly by going to their profile and on the top right you have options, one of which is challenge

Answer 9

plus when you are low level and challenge higher level users, as long as you get a good answer or two you still make some xp, if you win, you make a load, if you lose with no good answers, you lose like 1xp

Answer 10

To be honest, your best bet would be to go with the school out of the choices you have in which has the highest graduation-rate. These rates can be found by searching them online. A school with a high graduation-rate means that the professors are skilled when it comes to teaching their students in a way which has most of them (if not all) understanding the difficult concepts much quicker/easier. Software Development tends to be a very, very difficult field for some, so a professor's skill in teaching/lecturing is very important to their students.

Answer 11

you gotta check your settings, currently you only accept java & c#, which I don't know that much either. You can challenge me in JS/HTML/C++/Python/C#

Answer 12

I have heard UT Dallas mentioned a few times in the past. I can't recollect what was said, but to my knowledge, nothing bad was said about it.

Answer 19

at the current time I'm interested in app development. I have Android studio, unity, and unreal engine, but I'm unfamiliar with the bazaarness of the Android coding, a lot of imports and things I don't understand, and I don't know any c# for unity. in fact, I got this app so that I could begin learning c# and this app has been a lot more and a lot better than I expected.
