What should I focus on most at the moment?

Question

I'm in school for my bachelor's degree in computer science. I am currently in class for Operating Systems and Database Concepts and Programming. Aside from those classes, I am taking some extra time to study up on how to use Linux and SQL better. Is there anything else I should add or cut to help myself get through my classes easier?

Answer 1

Focus intensely on mastering your current OS and database courses
Supplement this with hands on projects that integrate both OS concepts (using Linux/shell scripting) and database programming (using SQL in a language like Python)
Prioritize active problem solving and use version control (Git) for all your work
Avoid broad, unfocused selfstudy that doesnt directly support your current courses or immediate project goals, and minimize "tutorial hell" by focusing on building rather than just consuming content
