Recommendations for professional options (CPA)

Hi guys, I am currently deciding on the professional options to take for the next semesters. Can someone share their opinions on best 6 options available. For next term, I am planning to take Cloud Computing and Open Source Development. Will have 4 options in the final term.

Good 2 choices so far. Besides those, recommending the second open source class. Computer vision is good too.

Definitely OSD700 (second open source)

I see, not sure what computer vision is about. Will have to research. Yeah that’s on my list as well

Python and its library OpenCV. You learn how to use some live visual transformation, AR, machine learning, image recognition and filtering The quality of the course is good - difficulty is decent, you actually learn something and the prof cares

Amnish11mo ago

CaramelCorn
CaramelCorn11mo ago
that's awesome yeah I mean OSD is really valuable too
Amnish
Amnish11mo ago
Yeah it sounds fun Yeah its a tradeoff then I can take osd next term, but will miss on osd700
CaramelCorn
CaramelCorn11mo ago
yeah OSD600+700 is amazing experience learning how to work on a project remotely with a team and managing an open source project I'd say it's probably more valuable than CVI, even if CVI is more fun :p

Hmm that’s a tough decision. Will have to think about it Also for mobile dev, I am confused what to go for - Ios or android
CaramelCorn
CaramelCorn11mo ago
yeah from what I've heard the android mobile dev course is outdated using Java and MVC while the current standard for native development is Kotlin and MVVM or MVP
Amnish
Amnish11mo ago
Yeah I also heard that about android There’s 2 cross platforms though, react native (hybrid approach) and core mobile What does that mean Ohh ok, that’s out of my list then Why would anyone go to denmark to learn a programming framework 😭

oh cool, Cole did that not too long ago mostly drank and hung out by all accounts I think the pre-reqs will be different for us? idk it was replaced by DSA456 in its semester, and by APD545 in 5th sem actually maybe her info is just out of date? bc otherwise it would be impossible for students to take OSD600 & 700
