i'm pretty happy that the college i went to was staffed by a bunch of old farts who refused to teach their corses in anything but c/c++ my little brother has been coding almost exclusively in java in school (high school and freshman year of college) at least he's played with arduinos a bit and knows some c

Janin posted:Since you're a sophomore, nobody expects you to have done anything useful anyway. Come up with a few small projects suiting whatever area of software development you want to go into. dude, anal, i just did internship interviews at two schools, and collected resumes the majority of undergrad candidates have loving nothing on their resume. some have maybe one team project listed, or just a splattering of course names no one really cares about, but most are like "i took two coding classes i guess?" we are literally giving an offer to one of them who admitted to "only starting programming 5 months ago, and only IOS apps" (not my project, but someone else in a related group)

i made a wireless hygrometer to keep track of the humidity/temp in my humidors for my cigars, but it turns out the arduino will just suck a battery dry for no loving reason then i got really lazy and some computer game came out and i stopped playing with it i should really pick it back up

ahhh spiders posted:lol that's terrible. oh well i guess that's why it costs like $30 or whatever the best part is that i started out simple with an arduino, a humidity sensor, and a wi-fi "shield" that just snaps on top. for the initial tests i made it send a http request to my server once every 5 miinutes when I got the ~10 hours of battery life i was like "oh, well, the wifi is always on, i should put that to sleep" so i spent a bunch of time setting up this "deep sleep" mode on the wi-fi shield where the arduino could wake up the wi-fi stuff from its sleep, and made it so it only woke up once every 30 minutes. "this should make it last six times as long!" but no, the arduino was the power hog the whole time. the battery life was barely any different.

mr. tributary, the best way to get interview experience and know what sort of things you'll have to know/do for one is to... actually do an interview!!! find a job/internship you don't care about in the field you want, or at least related, and apply for it use it as a practice interview the worst thing they can do is say no. they don't pass your resume around to other companies and hang it up with "DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN" under it go to some interviews, fail miserably, and then know what you need to work on going forward
