Hey folks! I recently completed my bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from a top school in Turkey, and I've got a solid grasp on the fundamentals, especially in areas like C and embedded systems. However, my experience with web development is limited, as I've mostly been self-studying the basics of backend programming.
I'm about to dive into a master's program in Cloud Computing and I'm wondering what skills or knowledge I should focus on before I start. I'm planning to kick things off with AWS Cloud and would love to hear any suggestions you might have!

Honestly, you'll get a lot of learning done while you're in school, but getting some hands-on experience would be super beneficial. Here are some things you might want to consider doing:
1. Build an API using a language you enjoy. It can be anything, really—just pick something! My top picks would be Laravel (PHP) or Flask (Python).
2. Create a static website, host it, and set up a CDN. Implement CI/CD so that changes you make automatically deploy through your repo.
3. Try your hand at using an AI model API. For example, make a form that asks for your favorite movie, send it to your API, and then get some movie recommendations based on that!
These experiences will give you a leg up when you start your master's!
Thanks for the tips! I'm definitely going to start with building an image app that connects to an AI API. Sounds like a fun project!
