Why Every Developer Should Learn Computer Science Theories First
Everyone can learn how to code. Computer science theories will teach you how to program
Developers usually start learning programming at their college, university, or first internship program. Meanwhile, some developers learn programming by experimenting with technologies and watching internet tutorials, known as self-taught programmers. A few passionate developers learn programming in all of the above stages. They start programming before college teaches programming. After that, they improve their programming skills at their college, university, and first internship program.
Developers usually study computer science theories at their universities. Some developers study these concepts in their internship programs. Computer science fundamentals consist of topics such as data structures, algorithms, networking principles, discrete mathematics, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, design patterns, and human-computer interaction. As mentioned, every developer will not come through a university, and they will jump straight to programming without touching computer science fundamentals. Sometimes, those kinds of developers learn computer science fundamentals during their first job.
