    Where can i learn about cyber security? DDoS, maleware, etc. and how to prevent them?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2018 07:33 PM PDT

    i am currently in school for Computer Engineering and interested in cyber security aspect i want to learn on my own about some of it, i can find anywhere online that explains how someone would preform a Ddos attack (i know what it is) but i guess im looking for likr a tutorial because once i know how its done and can do one myself i feel like i can learn how to prevent them etc. overall it would just be a good starting point i feel. Anybody know somwhere where i could find information like this or about malware and how to prevent it etc. , also if this isnt a good starting point where should i start? i have no ill intent with the use of this information it is strictly for my education, i am pretty proficient in Java and C++ , but im guessing python or something else would better for this type of stuff, yes??

    What articles, publications, or books from the early days of software development are under-appreciated and still highly relevant today?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2018 09:29 PM PDT

    I recently read about the early days at NASA where they came up with principles and practices to ensure correctness and reliability. These principles and practices have proven timeless. What hidden gems should we still be reading from back then?

    How do I recolor a city on a map or an image of a map according to data from an API?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2018 12:45 PM PDT

    Hi!

    I'm currently building a geocaching website which would show statistics about a user's found geocaches as a list of found caches and more specific data about each cache (date found, cache type, etc), but also as a map which has certain cities colored green according to the user's statistics.

    I can handle both the API and the website building itself, those shouldn't pose an issue.

    My main is concern is, how do I recolor a part of a map, according to given data?

    For example, I would have a page showing the cities as green where the user has found a 'Mystery' type cache. If a user has a 'mystery' find in 'New York', I want New York to be colored green, and those cities without a 'mystery' find should be colored red.

    My question is: how do I recolor cities on a map (or image of a map) according to the data provided by the API? Which language and which technologies should I be using to achieve this?

    I already know C# and some html/css, I also know how javascript works but haven't actually done anything with it yet. I remember a bit of python and java, but those aren't strong languages for me. I'm ready to learn anything needed to achieve this, so anything goes but I prefer C#.

    Thanks in advance!

    What resources are available to learn windows device driver programming? (free or paid)

    Posted: 21 Jul 2018 07:10 AM PDT

    I'm looking to learn more about Windows Internals and the way device drivers are made/operate.

    What resources are there, I've found out about OSR's seminars but they're expensive and made far away from where I'm located.

    i'm trying to see if there is even a paid/online training resources i can use.

    I'd prefer someone with labs and hands-on examples if possible.

    edit: i should mention, i'm working through the windows internals book, not quite what i'm looking for.

    What mobile platform should a new developer choose for iOS and Android development?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2018 01:40 PM PDT

    I am a Software Engineer in Test looking to write some of my own mobile apps. Currently I write python code for automation of mobile apps. My current project is written in react-native but previous apps I have tested were written in their native Swift and Java languages for iOS and Android. As mobile app developers, what advice do you have for someone starting out with their own projects do react-native or flutter development benefits outweigh traditional Swift and iOS? Have you come across pitfalls from using react-native or flutter?

    What's a good rule of thumb for when a software project has to much code debt, it is better to take the lessons learned and start entirely from scratch?

    Recommendations for posting micro projects to find developers for hire.

    Posted: 21 Jul 2018 04:03 AM PDT

    /r/forhire /r/jobbit and /r/web_work seem like they are more for permanent positions or long-term projects.

    I'm perhaps looking for something different: to post tiny projects which individually should need only about an hour's work. If it works out, I'll try running an entire project like this.

    I'm mostly looking for bash/shell and JavaScript (Node and web framework) skill sets.

    Are the above suitable for that?

    Or is UpWork the right place for this sort of thing? I've used eLance before, but the administrative overhead was quite significant.

    What are your recommendations?

    [Career Related]

    Posted: 21 Jul 2018 08:38 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I am a 22 year old student from Toronto Canada who recently just dropped out of Business School as a result of my dis-interest in it; (so much so that I developed health problems from the stress it gave me).

    Currently I have the summer off working as an intern for some insurance company, but what is next is variable. What I had planned with my parents was that I would do the pre-requisite courses for Computer science and attend school for comp-sci.

    But the question begs to ask, is it worth it?

    I have at this point around 1 year of programming experience. I've made a website in Flask, a text-editor that converts english to russian on the fly in C#, many web scrapers, and am currently learning C++.

    Should I pursue university or should I just work heavily and seriously on learning important and demanding skills and languages and instead pursue work while skipping my degree completely. My situation is a little different to most of the -no-degree coders because I have the opportunity very easily to go to university and get my degree, but the questions begs as to whether I should or not.

    Any and all comments are appreciated.

    Php vs node.js

    Posted: 21 Jul 2018 12:02 PM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I would love to hear your opinion about this. I'm ok in php but not an expert, and I thought to maybe take my knowledge to the next level and learn mvc and also get better in oop. But I real on the internet that today it's actually better to just learn node.js (which I don't know) instead of php. The thing is that I love wordpress and fantasize about writing custom plugins for it. When I tried to read some plugins code it looked too complicated for me.
    What do you think, is it a good idea to develop my php skills just for wordpress development, or it's better to focus my energy on learning node.js?

    Thanks a lot in advance,

    Is It Possible to Re-Create The New York Times' Elections Result Page For a Canadian Election?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2018 06:09 AM PDT

    I work a very small media organization based in Toronto, and we've got quite the question/request: How can we re-create this New York Times election results page, but instead of having Ohio's election data, we'd like to create a plugin, which would allow us to input data automatically through an API, which we'd purchase from The Canadian Press and/or API to provide up-to-the-minute results, but in the format of a map, along with a table, as shown in The New York Times' page, which I've exemplified in the form of an image here.

    If this is possible, please let me know where I can likely find someone who is able to do this; I know Fiverr does things like this for a reasonable price, but I'd like for it to be made into the format of a WordPress plugin, in which its able to be edited and map "templates" of electoral districts added later on or whenever they change, so to speak.

    Update: I'm not very fluent in the art of "scraping," but that's what another developer suggested that I would likely have to have within the WordPress plugin, so to speak; hope this helps you in any way — I appreciate any help tremendously.

    FTP alternative with user control

    Posted: 21 Jul 2018 04:44 AM PDT

    I am currently working on a project, which requires a lot of users, each with their own storage, depending on their subscription.

    Some users would be able to view the same folders, so it's enough to have users with access to the same directory. The key is that I would like to limit the size of those directories programmatically (I'm using Django).

    The server would be running on Microsoft Azure. It's pretty important, that the users would be able to connect to the server using FTP, but they wouldn't be able to exceed the limit.

    Does anyone know a server type with these capabilities? I would really appreciate the help!

    Using multiple languages, slightly unsure.

    Posted: 21 Jul 2018 01:38 AM PDT

    So, cutting to the chase, I'm working on a project that requires multiple programming languages for one of my assignments and I'm a little lost at where to begin.

    The plan is to have a Raspberry Pi run a Python file which prompts for two coordinates (as a stand-in for an actual GPS device we might experiment with later). This should contact the PHP files I have present on my personal section of the uni servers and from there run a SQL command to fetch the relevant associated data from a mySQL table. This should then display the data for those coordinates on the Pi screen.

    Here's my problem: I'm a little lost on the Python use side of things here. I've done something involving PHP and SQL working together before so I'm fairly confident I can get that part functioning as appropriate.

    Can anyone give me any pointers on the Python side of things? Someone recommended a JSON file for data storage but I'm unfamiliar with their use.

    So to clarify:

    Python (prompting for coordinates) -> PHP -> SQL ->back to Python, displaying the data on the screen.

    How should I redeem my programming?

    Posted: 20 Jul 2018 11:04 PM PDT

    Hi, my post is going to be long and I'm not fluent in English so feel free to point out mistakes or ask for clarification. I studied middle school and high school at a selective school in my country. I was taught programming there for 5 years. In the first year (around 2010) the programming course was about basic concepts like conditional statements and loops. The programming language used for the course was PASCAL. Using arrays , other data types , functions was covered in the second year. In Third year Delphi was introduced and the course mostly focused on creating visual application and using its windows forms. Now the next two years at high school is when the things went south in my opinion. While both schools were organized by the same entity and even some teachers were present in both departments, we started learning c++99 from scratch. The course was a mess, many topics were not covered at all like constants , templates, etc. while focus was on OOP, utilizing things like encapsulation were not covered well (class were introduced as a way to define new data structure in the first year and later topics like protected/private variables, virtual functions and others were loosely covered in second year). So I did learn c++ in an unconventional manner with lots of wrong practices. I did notice this in the end of second year while doing last project which was writing a chess game. I could not design it correctly (tried writing down uml diagram but was unsuccessful), lots of bugs and memory leaks happening and etc. I was able to put together a working program at the end though it was obvious to me I was not doing things in a meaningful way. I tried improving using Scott Meyers effective c++ but I was not successful in implementing his advises on my code. I also tried learning from scratch from different sources but It did not make any difference. Here is my question: how can I use c++ in a correct way after using it extensively in weird ways?
