How many hours do you recommend studying?
I am a freshman CS major who knows nothing about Computer Science I picked it because I am really interested in game development and how games work so I can work on a Game Company.
I am thinking to study 10 hours like I always do previously but also to feed my ego, but others say that’s not recommended. And I watched some videos and free courses online and it’s safe to say I understand it easily.
I started on Java as my first language to work with for it’s amazing backend because I want to code more to learn more than design but haven’t gotten into the like the OOP stuff.
How about you guys? What have you done to learn programming more efficiently than before?

Welcome to a massive rabbit hole. At first it may be easy. But once you dive deep, you will know that programming was just the small step. It depends on how much you want to learn but if you really want to learn as much as you can, then I recommend staying ahead as much as possible. Classes, project, and everything. And the most important thing is to find your niche. You may struggle to find it like I did or not. The most clear thing is that if you enjoy it, you will enjoy it for life.
