Things to do in December / Vactions / Free Time

Here is an NON-EXHAUSTIVE list of things which an UG1 student, or anyone willing to take a dip in the vast and fruitful world of Open-Source Development can take on, since there is time in December to at least get something started.

I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST AGAINST PAYING FOR ANY CS COURSE, RIGHT NOW. 99.9% of this material is available for free.

3. Competitive Programming:

If you like to do Competitive Programming, like the problems in UG1 CPro Assignments, then again there are a lot of different websites to hone your skills. IIIT-H Programming Club (for IIIT Hyderabad Students Only) is a better place to seek guidance.
