MrBible:
Almost all self taught talk trash like you do. Go an get a CS degree first and stop making up what you don't know about.

SegFault:

My problem with CS students so called boasters. Okay Mr CS how does a server and client computer establish a connection between themselves?

MrBible:
Mr Selt Taught Go and get a CS degree first then you can make better use of your time developing complex applications, doing research and coming up with new solutions to real world challenges. Zoom the whole world are using now for virtual communication was developed by a CS grad.

A good CS degree covers Network/Socket Programming which includes 'The 7 Layers of the OSI and other Network Protocols needed to allow a server and client computer to communicate within a LAN, WAN or over the internet. I will not waste my time here going into details into your question as this is a very wide and specialist area that only Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Software Engineering and CS grads can fully understand. Just because you can connect a server and a client computer together does not meant you know waht actually is goingon behind the scenes.
The question I gave to your self taught colleage relates to common programming tasks a company needs in order to automate their processes.

SegFault:

Introduction to networking is something that is compulsory for CS students (it's in my syllabus) keep on shifting goalpost. Okay another question, what are the phases of compilation?

AdekunleScience:
Hello, go check out JetBrains Learning at jetbrains.com. They are giving learners free access to their courses until January, 2021.

ayoola27:


pls is the jetbrains working in ur browser...

I tried following up the lesson but it keeps telling me I'm offline...

I'm using operamini

AdekunleScience:
I can't really say why it's not working on your browser. Perhaps you should download a modern browser like chrome.

ayoola27:

it didn't display on my Chrome either

MrBible:
For your information 'Introduction to networking' is a first year model/course and this is child's play compared to Network/Socket Programming done in later years. When you have studied Network/Socket Programming later on you won't come back here to make noise anymore.

If you need help with your course exercise on phases of compilation, here is a good video for you to watch:

I've noticed a certain trend ; a lot of self taught developers seem to look down on a cs degree after learning just an aspect of computer science.

For example someone who decides to learn backend web development ( which is a subset of cs)by taking an udemy course thinks he has learnt more than a serious minded cs student . They go about saying stuff like :" I didn't study computer science but I can know more than a cs major" but they seem to forget that computer science goes beyond developing websites. To me it's a waste of time of time studying cs just because you want to be a web developer , correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's what boot camps are meant for .

But that doesn't change the fact that some CS majors know nothing , I've come across some CS majors that can't code but that doesn't make a cs degree worthless.
But do you think such people are right ?

MrBible:
My advice is that a serious company should employ a CS grad and allow them to learn on the job or train them if they do not have enough experience. Most self taught are just noise makers as getteing a programming job is through connection rather than what you know.

Saying a CS grad cannot code is because self taught are not professionals so they don't understand that a professional can look up reference materials as their knowlegde is very wide unlike a self taught that only know the little bit of programming they do all the time.

You will hear self-taught saying a language is out dated when a new language or tool is out, not knowing that every language and tool has what they are best for and that the major existing languages and tools are kept up to date and can even perform better then the new ones.

Many complex projects are being scrapped because self taught do not have the knowledge to implement them and they will not give a CS grad the oppotunity to come in and implement those projects.

lawrenzooo:
You would not blame those self thought developers. I have see CS graduates that don't know how to boot a computer let alone program. Majority of our graduates are just paper graduates ( it cut across all fields) and its not there fault most of the time as our educational institutions are not helping matters when it come to practical. back then in school in my department we had over 200 computers in our lab but there was never power for us to use the computers.

EvilSec:

While new students might not realize this, "computer science" does not teach how to code. Instead, it teaches lots of useful information that coders might need, like O(n) or OS fundamentals.

To learn to code, the best route is self study rather than CS or any other major. There’s probably no other skill for which there is so much freely available high-quality learning material online.

illitrate:
I am self thought with no cs degree but very proficient 5 languages, python and delphi being my favorite. I am also OSCP certified.

I hate web development, dont know why but thats just me.

SegFault:

There is nothing wrong in being self taught, I am tutoring myself in multiple cs courses like OS development, Internet architecture, linear algebra, physics (for the sake of gameplay programming) and System Architecture (this is very good for programmers and CS students in order to spit out code that makes optimising compilers look like dumbos). I want to also continue on Calculus (edx tutors make this stuff seem like cake, shame on Nigerian lecturers and teachers) and some others. It just depends on how you see yourself, some see it as some stupid achievement that makes them smart like Tesla while I see it as a necessity. Even college students should do it.

So please what are you really into?
Web application or embedded system..

Lol! This mrBible guy is just salty and insecure af! You’ve got to be on a different level of insecurity to be ranting all over this thread. I didn’t learn CS, neither did 3 of my friends that are all doing great in their line of work. I am not going to be the person to diminish the usefulness of a CS degree but when it comes to PROGRAMMING, Baba SOME of you CS students are just so full of sh!t. Your employer needs depth. They want to see what you’ve done and what you can do. How come we’re all getting offers from Europe if we’re not good? I have only met on outstanding CS guy who’s crazy at what he does. Just keep improving and stop crying like a little baby
