Hi, I’m a first year CS student and this 3 month period of vacations I want to follow a good free course on programming. If it’s possible, I also want to learn how is the process in which a code written in a text editor can become an executable with it’s GUI in the operating system (currently using Linux), because I really have no idea how that works.
Browsing the web for it have become overwhelming and I’m finding trouble in deciding what to follow, and I also need some order in order to learn things.
I would really appreciate if you can tell me if you know any course that meets this requirements.
Do you know what classes you are going to be taking? If so, fnd the syllabus and take note of the topics and the text, if one is mentioned. See if you can find any mention of material your school may have used previously and get yourself a copy. Find the topics in the book and work through the exercises as you please.
