I just finished the AP computer science A exam. I learned up to arrays and basic inheritance/interfaces (the exam doesn’t include it anymore but my teacher did) and I found out I like programming and I want to continue learning. I’m pivoting for a little bit of time because I need to do a final project in some other language (I picked C# to minimize the learning curve and so I don’t have to do much work) but I want to continue learning Java after cuz I guess it’s useful to know something.

Where do I go next? What should I start learning after getting to like the early intermediate level, and what are some resources that I can use?

Thanks!

I’m a junior from the U.S. and UAlberta is one of my top schools at the moment. I toured it and loved it, but I keep hearing mixed things about the program.

I know that the program doesn’t do co-ops and I’ve heard different things about the quality of the program. My goal is to probably go into graduate school either for a master’s in computer science or a master’s in education and become a computer science teacher.

What is the program actually like, in comparison to some of the other schools on my list in Canada? (UCalgary, UVic, Dal, MAYBE UBC but I haven’t toured it) I want to hear both the negatives and positives, I don’t want it to just be all doom and gloom unless it’s actually the most miserable school possible.

I’m taking precalculus this summer (i’m an international student from the U.S.) and I’m applying to UAlberta in the fall, but the applications open for international students on the 1st of August and I want to submit my application ASAP so i don’t have to worry too much about it.

Is it possible to submit the application without finishing precalc yet and then update the grade once I’m finished with the summer course?

I’m a student in the U.S. and I’m applying to a few schools in Canada (UofA, UofC, Dal, UVic). I put in my citizenship by descent application a month ago, but had to do it analog so I’m not sure if I’ll have citizenship by application time.

If I don’t get citizenship in time, do I apply as an international student and when international applications open? And is it harder to get in? (i have about a low-to-mid 90s average i’d say??)
