365DaysToGoogle

365 Days of study and preparation to get an internship and then a job at Google.

Study Program

Introduction

Let's make a quick introduction to Computer Science, since we're trying to become Software Engineers, we should try and understand or rehash the fundamentals of our craft and using the old "Google dev guide" we will do the following courses:

1. Harvard - CS50: https://cs50.harvard.edu/college/2022/spring/
2. Udemy - CS101 - Intro to computer programming: https://www.udacity.com/course/introduction-to-python--ud1110

Programming

We should start reading "Composing programs", then "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" which is free on the internet, later on we should read "How to design programs"

Also we should grasp the fundamental (but try and master for the end of the year) of:

1. JavaScript
2. C++
3. Java
4. CSS & HTML
5. Ruby
6. PHP
7. C
8. Perl
9. Shell script
10. Lisp
11. Scheme

Also we should complete

"Free Code Camp": https://freecodecamp.org (we will try and get all the certifications for our linkedin and portfolio) and Code Academy.

We can use our udemy accounts and make all the course we can in there to add certificates and expand our profiles as developers.

For a more in deep learning about programming with a more hands-on approach we should do the following courses:

At the end of the day, we can make a Code Kata in codewars
