Introduction to CS-348 Blog!
To all of the CS-348 students, welcome to my CS-348 blog!
This is where I will write about some new techniques that you may or may not be familiar with in computer science, particularly software management. From here, we can all learn together and share our knowledge, which can improve our programming skills throughout the semester.
A little bit about myself, my name is Nguyen Vuong. I’m a senior Computer Science major at Worcester State University. As a senior, I’m happy to share my knowledge and skills in the hope that it could help you get through the years more easily.
I also make mistakes a lot, and love to learn new things. So, feel free to share what you have, and we will all study it together! Let’s all look forward to a great year!

Introduction to CS-343 blog
To all of the CS-343 students, welcome to my CS-343 blog!
This is where I will write about some new techniques that you may or may not be familiar with in computer science, particularly software construction and architecture. From here, we can all learn together and share our knowledge, which can improve our programming skills throughout the semester.

Blog Post 1
September 8th, 2025
Hello! This is a blog? Probably. As a current student, I will (hopefully) be blogging about my experiences in Computer Science. Otherwise, I don’t really know what to do with this. Anyhow:
I currently have some experience with code. I took AP Computer Science in high school, and a Game Design Class (technically twice by two different teachers due to a mix-up in my high school schedule, but frankly, they did different things so I don’t actually regret it.)
This gives me experience with both Python and Java, although at a beginner level. Additionally, my First Year Seminar class refreshed me on Python, and I took the beginner Unix Systems Programming, which taught me a little bit of C.
I did use Scratch to make a game back in high school but I was atrocious at it. I remember having a habit of over complicating my stuff too. Especially in my Game Design Class. I took AP Computer Science the same year as it and because all the other students were seniors, my teacher let me work on my Game Design stuff after the seniors graduated. I took twice as long as everyone else and barely finished my “game.” (Officially, I never finished it and passed in a partially modified older project.) I am near certain the teacher just let it slide because I was working despite having no official assignments in AP Computer Science and helping people in my game design class. (I have like, 2 unfinished projects? Both were intended to be my final program for my Game Design Class, but neither were passed in.)
The reason I decided to pursue Computer Science was pretty simple: I thought video games were cool. Then I just went for it, and it was okay. I had some classes in high school but nothing complicated. But as time went on, I eventually went into my AP Computer Science class which I did okay in. One day, the teacher said I “have a passion” for Computer Science. Frankly, I thought that was a weird statement since I didn’t really do that much coding nor was I particularly good at it, but it made me feel good about myself so here I am. (Nowadays I hear of my cousins swapping Majors from Computer Science to basically anything else so I’m either doing okay or making a grave mistake. Oh well.)
Anyhow, that’s my current experience with Computer Science and I guess I’ll give you all an update later on.
Thanks for Reading,

Welcome to the ELITE CS student Experience!
Please enjoy a congratulatory firework display to celebrate (shot by yours truly).
So, what are we about?
Welcome to my blog! My name is Will, and plan to document my experiences as a CS student, starting with this post! As the semester kicks off, not too much is happening in my academic world at the moment, but I doubt things will stay as calm as they are…
While this blog was requested as documentation for one particular class that I am enrolled in this semester, I figure I could use it for all of my classes… why waste a blog, ya know?
In terms of tone, I intend to keep it light and fun. While a strictly ‘professional’ blog would probably be better for the impending job search (I say impending like it hasn’t already started), I would rather not feel like slogging through a chore every time I sit down to write for this, so fun it is (sorry future me…)!
In case you wanted to know more about me, (I know you want to), I’m currently a Junior is WSU’s Computer Science program. I enjoy the subject material, and am always interested in electronics and software design. As well as this, I’m a photography hobbyist, read a hefty amount of fantasy and sci-fi literature (Hobb is the goat), enjoy model kit building, and have an unseemly fountain pen collection (to the average person… I’m nowhere close to those actual collection freaks). Lastly, my current music fix is Laufey — (It’s currently playing as I write this).
Anyway… at the current moment, I’ve not much to say, but soon I’m sure once syllabus week is concluded, there will be more to come. Also, do please excuse my excessive use of parenthesis, I was having fun.
Once again, welcome to the ELITE CS student experience.

The Next Steps
Hello, this is Benjamin. I want to explain what steps I took in order to try and learn over summer. I wrote down a list of 4 steps for me to do within the week. Step 1; read a couple of chapters a week about a subject from a textbook or notes like blogs. Step 2; then watch tutorials and practice coding fundamentals on multiple coding websites. Step 3; next I would solve getcracked.io problems and leetcode problems. Step 4 is to make projects for my portfolio. Over the summer I could not do any coding projects due to taking 3 classes so I just did more coding problems on getcracked.
The reason I am trying to learn coding in this learning method is because it is better to understand why people choose a certain coding method instead of another option. I want to be helpful within a company and still be able to learn independently. So that I can have as many opportunities available. Moving on, I would watch podcasts that would have developers or professors about certain topics so that they can help explain certain concepts better.
I understand that in this field a lot of changes are happening. Which allows more opportunity for so many people and industries. Regardless of what some people say about the current state of computer science, I will still try to learn new concepts and how to implement them. I want to use this year to enjoy a few concepts and coding projects that I am passionate about so that I can enjoy this process.

My Journey into Computer Science: A Beginner’s Perspective
Hello Everyone!!
I came into computer science as a beginner, and honestly, I still feel like one. I’ve made it this far, but I don’t consider myself fluent in any programming language. Coding is not my strong suit, and truthfully, my first pull toward computer science was about learning and understanding the hardware.
I’ve come very far and software is obviously the largest component of computer science so i have to learn and clear my confusions. That’s what this blog is for: a place to track my progress as I learn more about software process management.
I don’t have it all figured out yet, but I’m here to keep learning If you feel lost you’re welcome to follow along with me in my new arc of learning software process management.
