Posting Etiquette

  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

My bachelor's in software engineering starts in quite a few months

I am thinking of downloading Linux and learning the Linux terminal using the Linux bible.

then learning video, photo, and vector editing.

After that finishing the rest of the cs50 except the scratch one.

Lastly, becoming extremely good at Python

How does it all sound?

I would just recommend to make sure you pick small, realistic projects as you learn. There is a lot of cool stuff you can do with programming, but pick the easy, boring stuff and finish it to completion. Everyone makes a todo app, but it's a really good learning experience, so just make sure you don't skip the basics.

I tried to start with learning Unity and C# to make games, but realistically it took about a year of making smaller command line projects before I knew enough to even begin to do something that complicated. Anyways, the fundamentals are important, learn them well.
