What every computer science major should know

Here are my distillations of Matt’s seminal blog post: What CS Majors Ought to Know.

I have removed the imperative matter, and left the declarative material; marking off that which I have completed.

  • What should every student know to get a good job?

  • What should every student know to maintain lifelong employment?

  • What should every student know to enter graduate school?

  • What should every student know to benefit society?

Portfolio versus resume

  • Every computer science major should build a portfolio.
  • Contributions to open source should be linked and documented.

Technical communication

Specific recommendations

  • Master a presentation tool.
