Recommendations for professional options (CPA)
Hi guys, I am currently deciding on the professional options to take for the next semesters.
Can someone share their opinions on best 6 options available.
For next term, I am planning to take Cloud Computing and Open Source Development. Will have 4 options in the final term....
I’ve got my IPC final exam next week (August 11), What should I do to prepare myself?
So I’ve got my IPC final exam next week and if I’m being honest, I’m scared. I’ve been doing pretty decent lately, I have 100% in nearly all my quizzes and a total of 95% in my workshops. Idk what to do prepare myself since I messed up in the midterm, Any help would be appreciated!
Java or C++?
Do you think specializing in Java or C++ is the better option?
I know we have courses for both, but I just wanted to ask. From my understanding both are OOP and good to know, but I also know that Java has a lot of jobs in comparison.
What are some reasons to get good at one vs the other....
General Education courses as CPA student
Hello all, I have some questions regarding General Education courses that we have to take as students in the CPA program:
1. Do we have to take 1 arts & humanities course, 1 social sciences and 1 chosen from either categories, so total of 3 General Education courses throughout the program to graduate?
2. Although it varies largely from courses to courses, how much time in a week do these courses generally take to complete assignments, tests and projects, if any?
3. Would taking Online or Hybrid GE courses save time? I want more time to focus on learning C++ and JS instead of spending hours on writing or listening to professors in GE courses...
Course Schedules, hybrid courses
Hi all,
I saw that schedules for part time courses are up for CPA courses. And I noticed many courses have virtual options. Is virtual campus also available for the full time courses? Or do full time courses all on campus? I saw that on the website that most full time courses are described as ‘in person’ but part time is somehow different....
CPA /CPP curriculum?
Would anybody be able to share their cpa/cpp detailed syllabus .
On the website the course name and general outline is given which i find quite vague ....
Anyone 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....
