Is learning new languages advisable before the start of college in computer science?

Question

Or is waiting a while a better choise? Are pre-concepts that you have about programming harmful before university? Let me know your thoughs😁

Answer 1

Tomer Sim on the other hand I've interviewed Masters/PhD graduates who are just really bad at coding, or at least worse than me, and I didn't study CS, I learned from online resources

Answer 2

It depends. If you are a fast concept-grabber, then you'll be fine either way. That's how it was for me.

Answer 3

Just think, the coders who built all the stuff in the 90s were probably those who tinkered with computers as a child, waaaay before uni/college. Any time is the best time to learn coding :)

Answer 4

I'm in the same boat. nothing wrong with starting early. :)

Answer 5

it won't really help you because learning online is quite different than learning in a university. you'll get much more detail about everything there unlike online learning.
