As a programmer, high-quality internships are critical in order to get a job. A degree alone is not enough. Please think hard about the technologies you want to learn and try to set aside time every week to study them.

The Road Map:

It is recommended to start with the basics and build your way up. Here are some tips:

1. Focus on only ONE language or technology at a time
   • If you are a beginner, start with Java. You will need it for your CS classes over the next 4 years.
2. Build outwards from Java.
   • Identify what you want to learn next. Java Script or Python are highly recommended.
3. Build a portfolio of project.
   • Building real projects is the quickest way to learn and show you are knowledgeable.
4. Learn complimentary technologies
   • For example, after learning Java Script you should learn HTML, CSS, and then React
5. Remember: Practice often and only focus on ONE technology at a time.
