PSA: todays undergrads if they are to successfully enroll in PhD programs need: minimum math and increasingly what I call becoming a “blue collar computer scientist”. So my PSA question is are there CS courses you would suggest they take? Like the necessary minimum if any.

Not a new question: Gentzkow and Shapiro wrote theis eight years ago: web.stanford.edu/~gentzkow/r… My view is similar, as is the content of my STAT447 course: shell/scripts, git, sql, markdown, R, ...: stat447.com And this really should be a three course sequence.

Lecture slides for my 'Data Science Programming Methods' course STAT 447 from this Fall 2021 at U of Illinois are now accessible via stat447.com covering shell (incl sed/awk), markdown, git(hub), sql, lots of #Rstats up to packaging, and Docker. Enjoy!
