What would you recommend for building your skills? (self.cs_career_questions)

I know this seems like a very obvious question. But I mean with regards to job searches. Even internships seem to require a variety of skills these days. I'm interested in both web development and just recently have considered data analysis. Should I work on tutorials and personal projects for a single skill or framework at a time? Or make small projects across a wide variety of things so I can put those skills on my resume?

I would say focused – and then try and solve problems that annoy/impact you or others – rather than just going through a checklist of tutorials.

It's probably easiest to build something fun or interesting, but any coding is good practice.

Or look at job specs you're interested in and try to build something based on that.
