Well, at this point, I don’t even know what to learn for getting an entry level CS job…so C is it. Reached chapter 17 of K.N.King’s C99, maybe read a little bit of C2x and C2y specifications, then I’ll probably start reading John Calcote’s Autotools and then metalanguage99. And I bet they won’t help me for my early career in any way or form.

    I have a 4-year degree in CSE. I’ve come to realize that I suck at preparing for real-world jobs, because I am so distracted.

      That’s okay, it’s hard to get a good head of steam going before spending time in a job where you can grow and learn all the tiny things that go into being an effective software engineer. Being a self-starter here is very very difficult.
