JoinAnyone know which courses this description on the CPP program website is refering to?
I was looking at the CPP program website and noticed this paragraph about how there is a variety of courses that relate to open source development. I know OSD600 and OSD700 are related to open source development but is there any other courses? or is it just those two courses? Also I'm curious if there is any networking events with Mozilla or Redhat or is Seneca's connection with them just purely through courses?

Is CPA program worth getting into given the job market?
I have enrolled into the CPA program this fall and reading through the coop-and-jobs section, I understand that there is some sort of hiring freeze as people are struggling to get a job at the moment. Just wondering what's everyones honest opinion about getting into this program at this time. I know the market is probably over saturated with people with programming background so kind of hesitant to dive in.
Student onecard
Im starting at seneca in fall and i was just wondering when and how can i start making onecard using the app because apparently its too early for it (as of july)
c #include <unistd.h>?
hello I need to find documentation about this topic "#include <unistd.h>", mmm where live this lib? I don't understand . thanks for you help.
Where to Start
I was advised by one of the alumni to get familiar with C and JS before my program starts (BSD), but I don't know what the perfect place to start is. (I pretty have much no prior coding experience)
I tried to find an answer to this online and majority of the people advised that python is the best language to learn for someone who has never coded before. I watched a couple of hours of a 12 hour long python course for beginners on YouTube before I started having second thoughts regarding whether it was the right choice.
Meanwhile, I was told that it would be hard for me to understand "C" if I started of with Python. So, I ditched learning python and started learning C from a course that someone suggested but it was highly mathematics oriented. I had a hard time understanding it because mathematics is not really my forte. I'm not sure if I should work on my math knowledge or I should find a different C course. I just wanna be prepared for college so it's easy for me later on. What should I do now?...

A question for the pass outs, working in the industry
What is the job market here like ? From what it feels like the technology market seems to be in quite a nascent stages (I could be totally wrong but weird tech stacks etc, not many innovative products and companies) and its almost like there are more developers here than products. I have some experience from Europe and Asia-oceania.
Another thing that I have been hearing is that most people hire through references, or certificates, degrees etc and not projects.
The Job descriptions are ludicrous at times, I mean I understand HR's are mostly useless and you can find this in other places too, but here it seems like companies use recruitment where people have no idea of the product or stack.
A bit of a rant 😓 , but what thoughts ?...
Transfer Credit
Hi folks,
I applied for transfer credits for the 3 general studies and communications but they declined everything. These are classes I took at a cegep(colleges in Quebec) a while ago but do they usually give you hard time with transfer credits? I have no clue why they rejected all 4....
Scheduling courses
Hi guys,
Does anyone know on what date is the selection of Professor and Classes?...
What’s a Fall 2023 pro course that looks good on a resume?
I’m going into my final semester for computer programming in the fall and I can take 1 pro course. I was wondering which pro course would be the most useful if I want to apply to software developer jobs ? I’m deciding between web422 or CCP555 (Cloud computing for programmers) but I’m open to any suggestions.
Does anyone know how to download OpenCV 3.4.0 for C programming language on Fedora Linux?
I searched on the whole internet and found only a guide for Ubuntu that didn't work as I tried to do it for Fedora...
I also tried to download it into /usr/include/ and build it there, but didn't work.
I will appreciate every help!
Thanks!...
Prerequisites for BSD
What are the prerequisites required for BSD? I tried searching this on Seneca's website but couldn't find anything.
I've got 5 months till my course starts. Is there anything else I can do in this time that would make college easier for me later on?...
ask for choice
Hello everyone, I am currently a seneca CPP student, a new student in Canada and I will graduate from 2 years program at the end of this year. I want to get a bachelor degree after this, however I don’t know should I get a bsd in seneca or I should applied for a cs in university. I finished my high school diploma outside canada and I see most of university are required MHF4U*
4U math (MCV4U recommended), I assume I don’t have these things so that is it better stay in seneca and finish bsd or should I do MHF4U* 4U math (MCV4U recommended) and try to apply for university?
I don’t have too much budget and I wanna be graduate from bachelor degree asap and find a decent job to feed myself rather than working all day for 15 bucks in restaurant Anyone have any opinions or suggestions, pls tell me and I will really appreciate...

Course,
(not sure what the corresponding forum channel is so here. Pardòn)
Hello all you discord bots masquerading as students. I have recently applied to this course, although I already work in the industry ( 3 years, Full stack). I am one of those career changers self taught guys, so looking into clearing out some comp sci basics.
What sort of technologies are being covered generally in the course ? ( I see C and C++ but I learnt never to trust what's written on college websites from my last degree)
Is it theoretically hefty or there are projects going making some real stuff ( I don't know using C or Cpp for graphics, games etc)

4 Courses and Full time work
Hello, I am a mature student starting the program on September. I am planning to take 4 classes and hopefully work full time from 8 to 5. I have read that some folks have done it while some quit the work to study full time. From anyone who finished first couple semesters, would you recommend it? Does the class schedule even allow daytime work? I know it will be really tough and wont have any free time. But is it possible? I need to keep food on the table and prices are crazy out here.
