Free University & 1k$ laptop? No way

If you follow this blog, may be you can notice that al the courses i’ve listed in my online cs degree are totally free, from start to finish, and you can get a really good background in cs without spending a dollar, using only an inernet connection and a pc. Well, truly speaking, the pc part is awkard with this “strategy”. If you don’t have any money, you NEED to save every pence also in your coding machine. So, what’s the deal, how can you code like a pro without spending money on your laptop? The solution may seem hard, but really it isn’t. In this 2 years i’ve found many ways to be a cheap good programmer, and i’ll list all of’em here. Online IDE If you can afford a chinese tablet (for the portabilty) or even a 25 dollars pc like a raspberry pi, with only a keyboard and a mouse you can code easily, free and everywhere.

I’ve also moved away. New house, with tv, netflix, friends, a couch and many retrogames, as it should be for everyone. Not bad, for real. Biotech Almost endend. just 2 exams. Grades got worse, but i’m at the end. I’ve also done my apprenticeship, to the department of bioinformatics of my current university. Nice experience, also the thesis is half done, which is a great relief. Computer science It’s (SLOOOOWLY) going. I’m currently do...
