What are the basics that a beginner should learn?

Good night
I want someone to guide me to the right path
I'm in 2nd year of computer science, I want to know what are the most important basics that I must be familiar with before I study a certain technology, I studied OOP,Data Structures,Database and Algorithms
my level in problem solving between beginner and intermediate, I want to increase my level in addition to studying the basics

Practice is what you should do. Then you should start reading books at some point. It may be daunting but start of with easy books. Check out programmingbooks.dev/ for guidance on what to read.

Presumably, the required computer science course curriculum at the university you're attending contains the courses it does is because the university believes it covers the things you should learn to be proficient in computer science. If you trust their judgement, then you don't need to ask people on the internet; if you don't trust their judgement, then perhaps you shouldn't be attending that university.

By the way, you're mis-tagged your post with #cpp — it has nothing to do with C++.

Trust the process. Stay consistent. Study yourself, find what you love to do. You will naturally better in that niche. Does not matter if you are a student, believe me I still feel like I know nothing with all the experience. Learning never stop. One last thing, start building things, even if it does not make sense, keep building and building useless things. You will thank me later.
