Hello all,
I'll hopefully be attending a cognitive neuroscience PhD program next fall and I'd like to learn some programming beforehand (having programming skills helps for lots of neuroimaging labs) Labs I've worked in used UNIX and MATLAB and I'd really like to improve my knowledge before I go to graduate school.
My question is, what is the best way to do this considering my options?
I don't have much money and I can't take any courses at school in programming next semester.
Is there a good C/C++ website that offers good training for beginners that anyone recommends? A quick google search found several but I'm not sure if which one to look into.
As for UNIX, I was lucky enough to find a UNIX textbook and I have linux installed as a virtual machine so I'm set there.
Can computer programming be learned well on one's own? Would it help to meet with a CS professor next semester every other week or so to help me along?
I know my questions might be hard to answer so I appreciate any feedback!
Thanks!
