- This is what I'm doing when I'm not posting TH-cam videos. For a change I decided to film what I do at school, and show you guys some actual problems that software developers have to solve.
There's not much content on TH-cam which actually shows real software dev, usually people just talk and don't really explain what they're doing. I want to take it upon myself to show what actually happens when writing software and if there's enough interest I can make videos as I am programming some new personal projects. On those I can actually show you guys code, and do whatever I want.
FAQ
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
What year / major / school?
- Second year computer science at university of guelph
What language?
- Almost everything for my assignments is written in C, I've had one Java course. Personally I know Java the most, then C, some web stuff for my website (HTML, CSS, Javascript, Bootstrap), as well as R for stats courses. Oh and assembly haha that was fun.
How old is u?
- 19
Where u at?
- Canada
Why did u quit ur gaming channel?
- I want to be productive and create cool shit. Been working on many interesting side projects that I usually keep separate from TH-cam but thinking about making videos about them. Gaming videos feel like a dead end for me creatively.
When can you post another video?
- When I'm not a slave to the education system (if everyone sent me a nice sum of money I could start my own company and be set, in the meantime subscribe and follow all my social medias will help)
Can I see some code / what's next??
- ye look at my github (link under socials)

I watched this video more than year ago. I was laughing. Now im studying CS. Im crying
@@fahmidameow8529 When i started, i was like *omg, im gonna code a lot and im gonna be great*, but there are more things, you need to study in CS learning, than I imagined. But when you think about your future, and what that hard work can develop, you start to feel easier, you catch courage and start working 2 times harder. I won't say its not hard, but its 100% worth it
@@danylosmoliienko5509 as an international student, it's so important to work part time and not depend on your parents back home all the time 😭 guess it will be hard. Let's see and thankkk you for taking out the time and replying! All the best for you future xx
@@fahmidameow8529 Me too I have to do part time job to help my family i think it's gonna be complicated and also I'm lazy i don't know how i'm gonna handle😭😭
@@bushraashkir635 you took cs sis?
@@fahmidameow8529 Not really now, but gonna do it soon. So, i'm worried in future? By the way, Are you from Somalia??
Where's the watching INDIAN tutorials part ?
Bruhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Arguably the greatest comment under the context of CS I've ever seen!
EXACTLY
with 670 likes and 3.4k dislikes😭😭
Lol
I've really been struggling to stay engaged in my harder level software classes but watching your passion for software gives me the drive to stay focused. Thank you
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future. Thx for reading.
no one is going to comment about how this guy was physically able to eat all of that pasta? ok
keven do you guys think that is much?
He a hunger boi
Here in spain is not as a problem and we Do it with lot of bread(the good one obvious = Europe.Spain.bread()
that was normal lol
@@lartan18 aye thats nothing
"Probably failed... that's fine"
Me every computer sci class
*_flashback intensifies_*
Hey! Does anyone know what IDE he's using?
Carson Riker
Atom IDE
that's what everyone's supposed to say, isn't it?
I love this, keep doing more in-depth explanations in your code and projects! I'm a first year CS student right now and am struggling in the first semester, even though I'm really into CS and cybersecurity. Watching these motivates me and sees how useful the things I'm learning can be applied to projects like the ones you make.
Anybody else in high school watch this video to see what their life might be like if they take this path?
Yes haha, everything is technology now so it seems like I’d get the most out a CS degree
Just watching these types of videos makes me tired. Guess I'm not majoring in CS lol
Are you still in highschool nowm
I love that your explanations are so detailed about the stuff you study. Other similar channels are so substantive. I'd definitely love more videos like these. Subscribed!
Update: It has been 4 years since I left that comment. I'm at my final semester in uni now and I graduate in about 3 weeks. I was just reminiscing about how clueless I was back when I started and now I'm all done. I recall this video was very informative for me back then, and now that I'm almost done, I can really appreciate how well of a job Devon does to capture the everyday life of CS student.
I finished my final Theory of Algorithms class last semester and am finally graduating in a month. It's crazy to me that I can actually understand everything you said about the convex hull problem when I've never actually done it myself. I feel accomplished with how much I've learned in the field.
Good video bro 👍
Alex belmas, how it’s going? Have you found a job? I am 16 y.o. and I want to join my cos journey too
Congratulations! I’m gonna comeback to this comment in a few years and feel the same :)
yeah I want to take computer science,, I’m a girl and I feel like I’m going to be surrounded by smart ass guys I also did not understand half the stuff u said in this video great
I am studying Computer Science, and we are around 15% girls, and the guys are off course really nice as well, so no reason to be discoured. And everyone is struggling, though some more than others.
You also do not need to know what he is talking about in the video, that is what uni is going to teach you😉
@@mirko_oliver what programming language should one learn to undertake such a course?
@@mirko_oliver thanks
I'm the only girl in my class too and let me tell you. it's fuckin awesome. Studying with guys is so much better no more drama or crying over stupid shit. Trust me lol
Syrine B “oooo im not like other girlssss,.,,, i’m different,,, and internally misogynistic 🥰❤️✨”
bro this was awesome def do both style of videos where you just vlog and another where you just talk about class and coding!!! amazing bro!!!
Thanks man that's what I'm thinking about!
Me: wants to take computer science
This video: I’m boutta end this mans career
Literally
I study CS in the UK and this makes my course look crazy easy (which it is!), a year in and all we've only really covered the basics of procedural and OOP, a bit of assembly, a bunch about relational databases and some web development. Hoping it gets a bit more exciting in my second year!
After completing your course did it end up being significantly harder 😅
@@dc9591 Not really. Things ramped up a bit after first year, but it was still much easier than the stuff shown here. Obviously it also depends on the field you want to work in after and how much effort you put into learning outside of the course. I also found that after getting into a programming job I learned 10x more in my my first year working than I did my entire time in University.
@@MORN_Dev Yeah that sounds about right. Currently studying Cyber Security and can't even imagine how the industry works. Thanks for the time capsule of info haha
"Tiny bit of math."
Yeah. Just _a tiny tiny bit_ of it.
You are really good at explaining this dude
Please keep making videos like this
0:06 Computer Sciene Students don't fap.... They program 😂
I study at computer science and engineering collage. I still didn’t specialize in any field, I’m still a freshman student but watching your videos got me more motivated and now I liked the collage even more. I hope to see you talk more about different computer science fields and computer engineering fields, that would help a lot of students.
i love hearing anyone talk about programs and algorithms
your a smart guy, u could probably land a software job right now if you tried, you explained problem clearly and did the assignment. when I was takinn that class at my school i was too busy playing games lol. And nice vid, do more of these!
This is no where near being enough to get a software job, divide and conquer convex hull is a pretty straight forward and established problem. Not a whole lot to "design", more like implement.
You’re*
Stumbled across your 3 years of comp sci in 8 minutes vid and started watching some others. Great stuff man! Keep it up! Greetings from Hamilton!
Im sitting here taking AP Computer Science in freshman year highschool thinking it is ez than i see this
What
same
I would love to hear more code talk it was super fascinating as a low level entry student with just enough under the belt to have a slight grasp on what you were saying
It's nice listening to you talk and understanding what you say. Wicked videos man.
4:12 I didn’t understand a single thing but yeah
I enjoyed how you explained the entire problem and kinda showed your algorithm. I understood everything you explained and would like to see more videos like this (If you are down), thnx for the video!
1:39 You never know how much a person can fail until you take computer engineering/sci lmao
I'm still a high schooler. I keep rewatching your videos as I live also in the GTA (no, not that one lol) and am considering going to University of Guelph for a software development course. Thank you for putting up these videos for me
I just finished up my freshman year in computer science, and i've got to say, you are definitely pushing me to stick with it. I hope to one day have the knowledge that you do!
Hi. How many students are in your labs and practicals? and what i the students to teacher ratio?
I just started CS course and we have around 300 students in the practicals at once and only 5-6 teachers. Thx
Make more Software Dev videos and vlogs too haha its actually interesting.
I used to think you had to be a genius to program and already know how to do it by the time uni starts (I know a pretty stupid idea) . But after I started university and took a month of programming class I've now realized that programming ntp as hard as I thought and I actually really enjoy solving problems with it. So now I'm thinking of switching majors, but I'm still not sure. :'v welp
Much love from Portugal 🇵🇹 bro
Ur shit is 🔥🔥🔥 im 17 and i have a few ideas that include programming and u already got me excited as fk lv ur content
I am a senior in high school right now and am planning on majoring in computer science. I hate literally everything else that would make me money, but computer science is interesting to me. idk if I have a passion for it though. watching this video and a few others on what computer science is like genuinely terrifies me because I have strict parents so an A in a class is the only option. I'm scared now oof.
finally someone who actually explains what their doing and what the question means. thank u so much
Keep uploading. I like watching CS stuff and you've got an entertaining presentation! Keep it up man and good luck on your projects!
I haven't looked vlogs after, but wow that's very very cool
yep, i will not survive college
Phosnub goodluck with life.. college is mainly to get you through hard obstacles in life and make you rich
Jay Tyrone You’re so naïve lmao
@TaketheK I N G D O M 90percent of the people who dont go to college end up not doing so good in life. But obviously if you have a good brain you can do without collage.
Your environment and college assignment seem much more interesting than mine. Same name of courses we have btw. I would have loved to write that code for assignment. Assignment that are not theoretical and handwritten are so fun.
After taking computer science I sounded like a straight up nerd I would be saying stuff explaining stuff and people were looking at me confused like what
I'm currently studying software engineering at Miami University (was originally computer engineering, but didn't like the math or the hardware aspect) and I spend the majority of my time writing code. It's a good thing that I actually enjoy it! lol
Damn as future software engineer this code analysis and explaination makes me more hyped about upcoming studies
that explanation was so solid, i went from being confused to going oh that makes so much sense!
1:17 it's 12:30am. Are you serious man?!
A DAS OMG LMAO
Why? Is that the worse time? Or
@@assassin7250 no dude. Its sooo perfect time. I mean u start ur day in class.
A DAS oh true.
@@assassin7250 lol
Finally someone who vlogs about the computer science course. 👍. I want to get in computer science course when I get in college and I'm curious to what's it's like. I'm in 11 grade STEM. Thanks for the vlog.
I'm starting computer science in september in London and i am super interested about what are you studying. Keep making vlogs like this, but go beyond a 6-10 minute length. Do something more like 15 minutes :)
Hi. How many students are in your labs and practicals? and what i the students to teacher ratio?
I just started CS course and we have around 300 students in the practicals at once and only 5-6 teachers. Thx
this is the best channel I have ever came across
i came for the vlog but ultimately learned the bruteforce algorithm
Your videos about cs is totally different from others, that's interesting, I watched all your cs video by one night, thanks for your videos
Hey man , i study computer engineering in Brazil , really liked your video , sounds like you study much more practical things than me , i had all these assignments you do , but i also got like Calculus , Linear algebra , Linear geometry , electricity and magnetism .
we wanna see more COD....feed us more....feed us more
COD is short for call of duty. Don't you mean code?
He wants that new wwIII game
I studied Communication, English, and Spanish, so most of this is totally over my head, lol. And yet, I've always been interested in the idea of computer programming. Your video was very interesting! Maybe one day I'll take a basic coding course or something like that, maybe design an app or two.
I'm cs student at my second semester and I can already tell it's soo fuckin hard major but good luck to us!
Now it comes to my recommended. Of course, 2 years later
Classic TH-cam
Im not ready for university!!!
Great video!
Short, simple, and easy to follow!
Keep at it!
I just discovered this channel the other day and I'm in love
This is so fucking cool dude, glad I'm majoring in computer science!
Lol im a computer science and engineering student and i watch this video.
And engineering? Is that a double major or something? Anyways, how's CS? Is it difficult or is it all just straight forward math?
@@wisco9er536 maths and physics are the hard part(we have physics because of the engineering part)
I'm also a CS major in UCI, and the Design and Analysis of Algorithms course kicked my ass
Hey man. I am also a computer science major and would love to see you do some long, in depth coding videos. I am going to check out your Github for the time lapse plug in to study what is available. Just found you today and subbed, keep up the good work!
Hey man just saying love the vids! Also, I don't mind you talking about your code and in fact, I love to hear that stuff since I am also going for my computer science/programming major
It's mad how we do really similar courses at my uni but the content and assignments seem different. CS is clearly huge
Good job on the video, and I would like to see more coding/software dev. videos
Which software or app you used for coding?
These videos are awesome! please keep making them !
Yeah, the brute force option is always going to be more computationally expensive. You’d need a significantly more powerful system, or, a more efficient solution. Efficiency is preferred.
I love videos like these! Awesome channel! More C code!
Many peoples thing computer science is an exotic major which makes me laugh. Just wondered if anybody also noticed that
I don't care what many people say
I'm not even a coder and I found this video really interesting
This is pretty cool and entertaining. I would recommend getting some sort of screen capture instead of pointing the camera at your computers... Doesn't look great with current setup. Keep it up though
Yeah I didn't have time to fix my screen recorder in Ubuntu, it's fixed for the next videos though!
Crazy how active everyone is at 12:30 am 1:17
i just started year 2 and im doing OOP, Assembly, databases and two more. excited to learn two extra languages
i was wondering how long have you been studying since the problem that you solved seems like a huge headache. i mean i did have some annoying ones when i took advanced C. but this is next level shit lol
good luck in school man
Heyyy the part that you showed the And was damnnnnnn easy. No wonder computer science is easy. I don't even know why I'm taking computer science is because of math and phatology turns out damnnnnn
Man. Love your content.
Man, this brings me back to Junior year... ahh, good times.
This inspired me to do computer science... idk why but thank you!
Yo your taste in music is da bomb diggity 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👅
You are so lucky that you are born in Canda, we in India have to mug up theory and spit it out in exam. The person with more knowledge gets average marks but the one who mugs most gets high marks. One day I wish to come to Canada. :(
This dude inspired me to get into computer science
Good for you! It can be challenging and there will be days you feel like you know nothing, but stick with it because it does start to click and it is so so worth it in the long run.
I am just very interested in your way of holding the pencil,lol.
I regret not taking comp science in highschool when they offered it to me
Edward Zamora I’m taking AP computer science rn but the teacher can teach for shit
@@ohanthony3k it's cause they're math teachers
damn, since I'll be taking information technology course this December, i can now imagine how would i be next year haha. Done subsribed.
Your videos reminds me the time when I was in school lol. I was graduated last year from UoG with computer engineering.
Did u find a job in that field?
Why not use a bike and walk 30 minutes instead?
I actually find all of this interesting and I would love to pursue this as a career .
What language and IDE do you use?
The IDE is Atom, you can see their logo on the left at 4:21, and the language is C I think. C or C++. I see pointers and "sizeof" so I would bet on C.
The last thing youve said about finding the shortest path using convex hull is incorrect
i'm not a CS student i just have a degree in Molecular Biology (but biology is becoming pretty programming-heavy SO IF YOU'RE CURIOUS...). Anyway, keep making your videos; currently a beginner (sort of) self-learning to programme and your videos always motivate me and teach me new ways to think about problems
Every field needs a computer scientist these days.
I miss this dude so much
“Probably just failed that lab” MOOD
Hi Ashley
Basically what you explained is path finding
Mah man, what is that text editor you're using. Looks dope...
Can't find the second song anywhere. Anyways keep up the good work its really interesting to look at your videos
Hey Devon, I would really if you did a detailed session about your website's engineering details and ideas that you use.
We need to see more and more we're students like you bro
I was kinda looking into computer science but then I ran into this video....
Dude use Windows Subsystem for Linux. No need to dual-boot into Ubuntu. You’ll have it right into windows.
That's nice I study in TUM (Germay) Electrical engineering. So it's more hardware than software. And it's almost the same thing except that my courses start at 8 and usually end at 5.
this is so much simple, in India, a normal computer science student studies maths,english,physics,chemistry and cs as well as prepares for cs exams, 12th boards, and other 2 entrance exams in just 2 years. This life is shit
Just finished my second year of Computer Science, I've programmed for years but always at a high-level. CS is too much math and logic for me to handle XD
You've got a new sub for this quality content 👍
