Student from Germany who fell in love with coding and the tech industry after pivoting from a traditional career in banking. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's in CompSci.
I think I'm already going beyond the curriculum as I'm tinkering a lot with web technologies like React, graphQL and so on. I'm also quite familiar with git & GitHub already.
However, I really look forward to university as I hope to gather a solid, independent foundation of skills and knowledge to build on top of!
Sounds like your on the right path, and have the right mindset for the career. Even if college doesn't go over everything you think you need to know, it will give you context to a lot you already know, or never thought about.
If you already use git and github, definitely put all your work, projects, notes (if you take them) on it. Not only does it give you more practice, it also gives you more to show off later. Don't worry about it being "not up to par", no one expects you to be uploading perfect code if your just starting out haha.
If you get to choose some classes, and want to focus on web development, I suggest looking into classes related to web development and networking if available.
