    Targeted at students, hopefully someone will point out how discriminatory this is :(

  • twiz911 on 31/10/2017 - 21:38

    Namecheap never reply when you try to avail the offer in my experience :(

    • dfaktz on 31/10/2017 - 22:22

      Yep, I use namecheap for over 100 domains and the .me deal seems to be a slippery one.

      • johnwinkle on 31/10/2017 - 23:25

        Why do you have over 100 domains

          @Clear: don't you get sick of those Web design companies calling and calling? I never answer blocked numbers anymore and I only have five domains

        • Clear on 01/11/2017 - 08:43

          @Quantumcat: Not so bad when you're your own registrar.

        • nothommus on 01/11/2017 - 09:16

          @Quantumcat:

          You dont use some sort of whois guard so they never get your actual details? When they whois my domains they simply get the registrars details, give up and move on to someone else.

        • Quantumcat on 01/11/2017 - 11:45

          @cheese510: I would have had to pay a bit extra and I declined. Though I regret it a bit two months later when they still occasionally call

        How did you manage to register yours for free? I have a valid uni email and I'm getting this when I try to register a .me domain: https://imgur.com/a/FkQ4v

        • Jayphen on 01/11/2017 - 03:25

          That's strange — mine just showed as free.

        • AussieDaddy on 01/11/2017 - 04:06

          @Jayphen: Hmm! Looks like it works only for certain universities or something? Anyway, thanks for the reply.

      No where near as good as practical, but it definitely helps and gives you a greater understanding. I use Udemy courses etc. to compliment my own job in the industry and to further improve my skills.

    Looking to apply for Software Development Engineer (SDE) Roles next year and need to get my coding skills up to scratch.

    My main language of use is JAVA . Which of this software would be most useful?

    • anyeong on 01/11/2017 - 00:42

      You should be confident in Git and probably experiment with some APIs (perhaps SendGrid).

      Also deploying cloud-based applications on AWS or DigitalOcean for example.

      If you're focusing on Java then you might find IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate useful (its free for students). That being said you shouldn't be aiming to learn a specific language.

      • Cynicaloflife on 01/11/2017 - 07:21

        Thanks!

        Reason for one language was for the coding assessments. JAVA has no pointers and malloc, so miles easier to use.

        I do know C and abeit a bit of C++

        • bugger off on 01/11/2017 - 08:40

          Java is definitely up there, but having proficiency in JavaScript, Python doesn’t hurt either.

        • anyeong on 01/11/2017 - 10:07

          Always good to know some C! :)

          Java might be easier to use but OOP means designs get stupidly complicated. I personally don't focus on learning languages but learning the fundamental concepts behind CS (algos, data structures, concurrency, etc.) - that way you can pick up any language as you go.

        • Cynicaloflife on 01/11/2017 - 17:16

          @anyeong:

          Thanks!

          Yep did a year of C. Being a structured language it is easier conceptually. But the pointer management is a pain.
          I did DS of C++ at uni but had to learn for Java from scratch (I am naturally poor at DS).

          Concurrency is in Operating Systems, which I will complete next year.

          Applied for Amazon, Atlassian, Palantir and IMC internships this year. Coding questions were crazy hard. So need to prep for it this summer and hopefully (hopefully) get a SDE gig in 2019.

        • anyeong on 01/11/2017 - 21:10

          @mandok:

          No problem! I'm only a 2nd year student so don't take my advice full on board.

          I also applied to some of the same companies you did and got an offer from one. Agree that some of the questions are stupidly difficult (especially dynamic programming…).

          Good luck with next year :)

        • Cynicaloflife on 07/11/2017 - 16:12

    If your school has OnThe hub, grab everything you can. Windows 10 Education, Office Pto Plus, and if you're in Comp Eng/Sci, or IT, you may have the extra OnTheHub software which has the Enterprise Server software. Get all of those you can. Windows Server 2016 and any thing Systems Configuration Center.
    Then also download anything FeatureOnDemand and Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack.
    Next is to go to MS Imagine/Dreamspark and get the same lot again if you can. Imagine will only have the server OS and VS Tools and Azure activation.

    Once you have all of those, set up an Azure Active Directory Domain hosted by Windows Server 2016 on a Virtual Machine on your network and create your own Windows 10 distribution if you're pissed off with W10 updates breaking shit like I am.

    Edit: if you do have access to the Enterprise downloads, find the iso that has the 30 Edition Install. All Windows Editions, and Single Language Variants, with Volume Licence variants too as well as the Server SKU.. (30…20… Something more than 10.. I forgot how many is actually on it)

    And then get this if you haven't and use Spotify

    Unreal 4 is free for everyone but not free for anyone who makes $50k or more with it, then they profit split. Same with CryEngine and Unity , free for all. Blender is free too for those who want to get into 3D art. Autodesk also offers its whole range for students, Adobe gives a huge discount and Microsoft gives you the works. Any IT student who turns up to orientation knows this. Call us when you have a Pro deal, something where you own the asset you make.
