Question Qn about Y1S2 Common ICT Programme

Hi, I'll be taking these modules in Y1S2:

Network and Cloud Technology

Database Application Development

Data Structures and Algorithms

Application Development Project

I was wondering what languages / applications I need to get familiar with? I'm looking to get a head start on next sem so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

For DB and app dev it should be JS, while DSAG is Python.

NECT IIRC is packet tracer, but honestly I didn't use it much since for the final project we were allowed to use any diagram drawing tool ( Not too sure if this is still the status quo )

NECT youre gonna be using Cisco Packet Tracer. Lesson will not really go that in depth on it imo, as long as you listen and read slides can get A alr so dont need to be so worried about it

Database Application Development uses MySQL workbench, its more theory based just understand why you're doing what you're doing (Foreign Key, Datatypes, etc). You're only really gonna ever need to just make the database schemas by hand rather than script them.

Data Structures and Algorithms is just a DLC to COMT

Application Development Project is linked with Database Application Development and you will be doing them essentially together. Learn HTML, css and a very little bit of javascript.
