Ask HN: Advice for a college freshman studying in Silicon Valley

2 pointsby Advaithalmost 8 years ago
I am a high school graduate who has been tinkering primarily with React and Node since the past few months. I&#x27;ll be majoring in Computer Science starting this Fall at San Jose State. Most of my classes over there are structured around Java.<p>I would like to learn more, advanced React and Node, and computer science concepts(data structures, algorithms, ML, AI etc). What are some tips &#x2F; resources you guys would suggest?

Get involved and produce.<p>This is broadly true for any area of study.<p>Intern if you can do it to understand how and why things work the way they do.<p>Join clubs or start a new one. The ability to organize people and communicate well is generally useful.<p>Identify the needs of family members, friends or anyone and create something useful for them. Give it to them for free.
