I'm about to enter my third year as a computer science major, but my coding skills aren't where I want them to be yet. I'm eager to spend my summer learning and improving my programming abilities in preparation for my upcoming capstone project. Does anyone have good suggestions or resources I can use to make the most of my summer coding?

I totally get where you're coming from! Before my third year, I picked a project that genuinely excited me and worked on it from the ground up. It was such a great way to learn and really boosted my skills. Maybe think about a project that solves a problem you’re facing or something you’re passionate about.
It's all good! Remember, a computer science degree isn't just about being a coding pro; it's about building a solid foundation. Focus on a project this summer that excites you and solves a real problem in your life. It'll be a fun way to learn while also preparing for your capstone.
Absolutely! The best way to spend your summer is by actually coding. You could break it down like this: read some programming books, watch instructional videos, and definitely make time to write code. Try to tackle a small project that feels manageable at your current skill level, it's a great way to grow.
Thanks for the advice! I think I need to find a project that resonates with me and makes me excited to code.
