| Do you have a training/learning curriculum ready? You'll need to study the following. * Computer science basics. The fundamental building blocks for computation. The bread and butter of algorithms and data structures. There's no way around this. * You'll need to learn at least one or two programming languages in order to create actual computer programs and their related tooling. * You'll need to learn at least one computational platform and its APIs and tools and generally how to build software for it. For example one of Windows, Linux, Android, Mac or web. Choose one. * You'll need learn how to apply software to solving problems in any particular domain. * You'll need to learn a ton a about the tools and practices of the trade. Distributed computing, databases, embedded, debugging, tools chains, design patterns, frameworks, APIs, libraries etc. Not all are applicable. What you should focus on depends on what what you want to work with and in which domain. |
