Joel Spolsky’s Advice for Computer Science College Students is quite the good read, talk about advice #1 (Learn how to write before graduating). Cleverly written as though one’s just chatting with Spolsky, it talks about everything useful for a student interested in software development, from subjects to internships, it marries the idea of taking boring, tedious courses with actual payoff.

The most controversial advice for a software-invested student, to not miss out on microeconomics and other not computer-related courses, actually makes a lot of sense, in a «Wow, guess I’ll have to keep up with those courses :(» kinda way, though. But that’s just me being pessimistic about it, it’s, in reality, all very useful and relevant in understanding the world of business and the software development work force.

Looking into being Indian,
