SEMESTER 2 WORKSHOPS:
Command Line: Unlock the power of your computer! Join our workshop to learn the basics of the command line—a text-based interface that lets you efficiently control your system and automate tasks. An essential skill for CS students!
Git: Git is a version control system that tracks code changes, enabling collaboration and efficient project management. It's essential for CS students to learn Git to be able to revert to earlier versions and for team projects, all crucial skills in software development.
LaTeX: LaTeX is a typesetting system ideal for creating professional academic documents, ensuring high-quality and consistent presentation. It’s great at handling complex formatting, like mathematical equations. You will need LaTeX at some point for submitting your assignments, dissertation, and reports.
Internships: Looking for an internship? Join our workshops to discover where to search and how to prepare for behavioral and technical interviews.
