Computer engineering is half computer science and half electrical engineering. If nothing in electrical engineering interests you, choose computer science.

The entire computer science sub-forum suffers from this.

Loops and 'if' statements aren't the stumbling blocks.

Fair enough. Without derailing this thread further, I'll just say that you and I have different criteria. My employer still uses fizz buzz in initial interviews. It's still effective in weeding out a fair number of candidates, including some fresh CS graduates with 4.0 GPAs. To be fair, some...

They're everywhere. What is your criteria for 'phenomenal'?

Perhaps in your country the terms 'computer science' and 'computer engineering' are defined differently than in the US. Here, computer engineering is half electrical engineering and half computer science. Computer scientists, especially those in subfields other than theoretical CS, should be...

In the general case, no.

I suppose it may vary from university to university. When I was in school, I was in a situation my freshman year similar to the one you've described. I retook a chemistry class, but it did not replace the initial occurrence on the actual transcript. However, it didn't make any difference in the...

Taking a course multiple times does not remove prior instances from your transcript.

No. I didn't pay for my MS.

I have no direct experience with freecodecamp.com, but according to their FAQ, they state that they are not a coding bootcamp. Since its free, you've got nothing to lose.

This is false. You need no experience in computer science prior to university. In that case, you could always self study.

If you're only spending a month or two "learning" a language, then I'd say you're not really learning it. You're just getting an overview, especially if you have no prior programming experience. I think the best approach to learning how to program is to learn the fundamentals with a single...

It is not too theoretical. It looks like a good selection of courses to me. After you've taken them, you'll be better prepared to make a decision on the remaining two courses. Will they prepare you for programming on a professional level? Probably.

Since your graph is effectively unweighted, you can use breadth first search to find the shortest path.
