[ASK] Software Dev Question

[vineet]

How many months will it take to master "Development + DSA + Competitive Programming" And how shall I approach?

 

[Limbonite]

Actually No one Can Master DSA or Development and Really..? Do you want to master Competitive Programming..?.. It is only the experience and learning only.

FOR DSA:
Learning DSA is the best and important part on any language.. and Learning Won't make you a master but practicing it makes you a experienced programmer.

FOR DEVELOPMENT:
After Some Real Time problems with DSA you can create some application like program with that language. This cannot be mastered as this varies according to the type of problem you are solving and the methods you use in that app.

FOR COMPETITIVE PROGRAMMING:
This can be mastered but focusing only on one language can do .. But It won't allow you to move forward to other languages.. Like Choosing Python for competitive programming and choosing JS for application development..


Learning for life time is programming and is actually problem solving.. "Even If you create Million Dollar App, you cannot say I mastered DSA!"

lol, you can never master all three of them at a time in months.. choose any one at a time and practise, you can be good at one thing not all of them. Practise is the key!!! still if you need rough estimate (DSA- 6 months, Competitive Programming - takes years, Development - ∞ )

Seems good answers have been provided.
I'll estimate based on intent and assuming a complete beginner.

1. For IT services based -> 2-4 weeks
2. For IT product based -> 3-6 months
3. For IT top tiers-> 1-2 years
4. For knowledge mastery -> You won't focus on these numbers if you belong to this

Of-course this is just avg and may vary depending on how you focus.
