So you took Harvard’s introductory computer science class, CS50. (Maybe you were a regular at my section or met me at office hours.) You learned a lot, you enjoyed it, and you want to continue exploring computer science. Maybe you want to concentrate in CS, get a minor, get an internship at a tech company, or better understand how computers are going to take over the world.

But CS is a huge field, and with just one course under your belt, it’s difficult to really break into it.

So what next?

I could tell from the sheer number of WordPress updates that awaited me that it’s certainly been a while since I wrote here on this blog. But part of my pre-New Year’s resolution is to start writing here morehopefully I can develop some more interesting ideas and keep growing as a writer.

I’ve learned a ton from my first semester at Harvardwhere I think I’ll study computer science, though I don’t declare a major till next yearand I’ve developed an interest in seeing how technology impacts other fieldspolitics, economics, education, sports, Txawm – in addition to technology for its own sake. So with this reboot of the blog, li ntawd, yuav hais lus, I’ll work to explore the intersection of technology and other fields.
