2. It all depends the kind of projects you want to work on. In
Programming projects are great for some things, but not so much for others. The problem when learning CS with projects is that you face two difficulties at once. One is the "technology" side: syntax, bugs, programming environment and so on. The other are the concepts you're trying to learn. For instance, I wouldn't want to learn 3D graphics and C++ at the same time.
Actually, my main grief with 42 is that it is presented as something revolutionary, which it isn't. And very little information is given on the website. There's is some sketch of a curriculum that is clearly out of reach for ordinary students. It's unclear how the teaching is going to be organized, or even who the staff is.
- nathanappere 13y agoWell I don't know many schools where you only do projects, classes are absolutely optional, you organise your time exactly the way you want, you don't need any kind of diploma to enter. The only mandatory part is being present for the project defense. Never saw this kind of teaching in any US university / school, so it's not that far fetched to call it "revolutionary". It certainly is in France, especiall (Epitech has been doing that for 10 years but you had to pay something like 40k which for us is a lot for education, and also you need a high school diploma, which is mandatory if you want the bachelor/master diploma delivered by the school to be officialy recognised by the government.)
