AI Thread Summary
Beginners in computer science often wonder whether to start with algorithms or dive directly into the theory of computation. The consensus suggests that having a foundational understanding of algorithms can be beneficial before tackling theoretical concepts. Some learners prefer a practical approach, advocating for hands-on programming experience to grasp the application of algorithms before exploring the underlying theories. Starting with algorithms may provide a more intuitive understanding, making the transition to theory smoother.

Hi All, I'm a beginer in computer science. Can I start learning theory of computation without a deep knowledge in algorithms or should I learn Algorithms conecpts first and theory of computation? Please guide me.

Depends on how you learn. I prefer to know HOW to do something before I figure out WHY. So I would learn some programming and algorithms before hacking theory...which to my mind is kinda useless anyway...
 
Thank you, I will start with algorithms first.

Thread 'Star maps using Blender'

Blender just recently dropped a new version, 4.5(with 5.0 on the horizon), and within it was a new feature for which I immediately thought of a use for. The new feature was a .csv importer for Geometry nodes. Geometry nodes are a method of modelling that uses a node tree to create 3D models which offers more flexibility than straight modeling does. The .csv importer node allows you to bring in a .csv file and use the data in it to control aspects of your model. So for example, if you...
