Via Planet Ubuntu i read Aaron Toponces Good Advice For Computer Science Students. Read his article! For reference here is the short version of the list:
- Practice the fundamentals (For example solve exercises in The Art of Programming)
- Seek challenges (Write 100,000 lines of code)
- Practice, practice, practice
- Don’t forget about mathematics
- Develop a team spirit and to learn how to work well with others
- Encourage innovation, and don’t necessarily stick to the authors code in the books
- Work strategically (Part time jobs, pick good bosses/environments)
Originally this list seems to come from a Dr. Kai-fu Lee from Google China.
