Is 'Top-Down' Learning bad for CS Fundamentals? I'm worried about a weak foundation.
I'm stuck between Top-Down vs Bottom-Up. I really want to get into the low-level stuff like OS and architecture, but learning it Bottom-Up from a textbook is just so dry. It feels slow and I'm losing motivation.
So, I'm thinking about going Top-Down: build projects first and only dive deep when I need to. But I have a couple of worries:
1. Is there even a good roadmap for Top-Down learning that's still structured?
2. I'm really worried this approach will leave me with a 'swiss-cheese' knowledge and a weak foundation in the long run.
Has anyone done this successfully? Are there any good project-based resources or courses that teach low-level fundamentals this way? #technology #programming #dev
