How I Take Notes For Computer Science With Obsidian: A Deep Dive and Tutorial

I've made a few videos about how I study Computer Science using Obsidian and Notion. Because of that quite a few people have kept asking me for a longer video about how I take notes inside of Obsidian. This is that video. In it, I take you through my note-taking process with Obsidian, focusing on how it benefits Computer Science students. Still, truthfully everything in this video is applicable to note-taking of all kinds, not just Computer Science.

I've already graduated in computer engineering and still hadn't known about any app this good, great video!

[kinghabib]

Great video. I found it a little awkward using Obsidian for the first time with my CS classes

[Angelo_Nicolson]

Thanks for the insight. I just started my computer science degree and this is going to help a lot.

[YannyKo]

I've been doing this and I've been chasing other people's way of note taking that I forget I'm doing effectively what works for me best. Thank you for this!

I have watched a few different videos on how people have set up their Obsidian vaults for Uni/School.
And this one was my favorite. Thank you!

Great video Siddhant! I've recently been using Capacities as a notes app a lot and found it great for programming notes and CS stuff.

I was going crazy over how to show computer code in obsidian. Every time i added some, it broke the .md structure. The ``` are a life saver. Thank you!!!

Bro i legit am just starting a CS degree and only found the app today so i was searching on yt for tips on how to use it and your video came up. so good

Edit: actually nevermind I'm actually just gonna use onenote, obsidian is gonna take too long and seems way too complex for what I wanna do, maybe later I'll use it tho, but for now, definetly not.

I don't study computer science but this a good setup for architecture as well

[nelsonberm]

Thanks for all the ideas and helpful information

20:07 What do you use to change the text color? The Highlightr plugin or just HTML?

[historyrevealed]

Georgia tech students have a certain vibe to them, like you can tell when someone is from Georgia Tech, I don't know, it might be just be.
But since I have interacted with so many students, you can tell the Georgia Tech guys!
Great video by the way, however I'm still searching for a system that make sense to me, and wether I should use obsidian or notion, or any of the at all!

[soulninjadev]

i remember telling u about obsidian lol; reallllyyy good video loved it!

Thanks!! Template creation and note taking examples were helpful to me. How are you able to use dash '-' in that way without triggering bulleted list for items?

[VictorCampoblanco]

Thanks! I've learned more by watching a real example instead of just a theoretical explanation.

how can i create flashcard(space repetition) in obsidian?any plugin ? previously I've used Anki that was very complicated & I tried Remotes but its comes with subscriptions

[remaethful]

I am so thankful for your summary and setup instructions. I started CS BS and am trying to figure out how to write JAVA code examples in boxes like you had mid video. How did you do this?

[AyushKumar-qulf]

felt like writing readme files in Github

[rajaloni]

would you recommend me " how to use obsidian for revision (spaced repetition & active recall ) ?"I know there are plugins(anki) available however it involves complexity in using with obsidian(my perception) plz suggest me some how to use how to use obsidian for revision (spaced repetition & active recall ) ? tnx in advance!!!
