    Need a programming buddy learn programming


    Need a programming buddy

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 11:23 AM PST

    I've been learning programming in my freetime. I want to make a career out of it in the longrun, but I don't have a Computer Science degree. Learning programming on my own is a struggle but it'll be awesome to have a programming buddy to work with.

    I'm hoping to meet someone in this subreddit. I am learning HTML and Javascript.We can hold each other accountable, set goals together, and make projects. I'm a newbie so don't be surprised.

    Is anyone interested?

    "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" online course is free to sign up for the next few days with code NOV2020FREE

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 01:32 PM PST

    https://inventwithpython.com/automateudemy (This link will automatically redirect you to the latest discount code.)

    You can also click this link or manually enter the code: NOV2020FREE

    https://www.udemy.com/course/automate/?couponCode=NOV2020FREE

    This promo code works until the 4th (I can't extend it past that). Sometimes it takes an hour or so for the code to become active just after I create it, so if it doesn't work, go ahead and try again a while later. I'll change it to NOV2020FREE2 on the 4th.

    Udemy has changed their coupon policies, and I'm now only allowed to make 3 coupon codes each month with several restrictions. Hence why each code only lasts 3 days. I won't be able to make codes after this period, but I will be making free codes next month. Meanwhile, the first 15 of the course's 50 videos are free on YouTube.

    You can also purchase the course at a discount using my code NOV2020 or clicking https://inventwithpython.com/automateudemy to redirect to the latest discount code. I have to manually renew this each month (until I get that automation script done). And the cheapest I can offer the course is about $16 to $18. (Meanwhile, this lets Udemy undercut my discount by offering it for $12, and I don't get the credit for those referral signups. Blerg.)

    Frequently Asked Questions: (read this before posting questions)

    • This course is for beginners and assumes no previous programming experience, but the second half is useful for experienced programmers who want to learn about various third-party Python modules.
    • If you don't have time to take the course now, that's fine. Signing up gives you lifetime access so you can work on it at your own pace.
    • This Udemy course covers roughly the same content as the 1st edition book (the book has a little bit more, but all the basics are covered in the online course), which you can read for free online at https://inventwithpython.com
    • The 2nd edition of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python is free online: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/2e/
    • I do plan on updating the Udemy course for the second edition, but it'll take a while because I have other book projects I'm working on. Expect that update to happen in late-2020. If you sign up for this Udemy course, you'll get the updated content automatically once I finish it. It won't be a separate course.
    • It's totally fine to start on the first edition and then read the second edition later. I'll be writing a blog post to guide first edition readers to the parts of the second edition they should read.
    • I wrote a blog post to cover what's new in the second edition
    • You're not too old to learn to code. You don't need to be "good at math" to be good at coding.
    • Signing up is the first step. Actually finishing the course is the next. :) There are several ways to get/stay motivated. I suggest getting a "gym buddy" to learn with.

    Next time you get stuck debugging play this game

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 06:42 PM PST

    Learning to program is not only for finding a job. Whether its your hobby or your career everyone gets stuck with no real solution in sight. As many programmers know the interview process is a lot about how you think. A big portion of the interview is dedicated to speaking and thinking aloud. This is a way for you to show off how you think and how you solve problems.

    So here's the game. Next time you get stuck pretend you are on an interview and you are trying to show off how you think and how you solve problems. This will guide you through the bug and hopefully will lead you to a solution quickly.

    If the interview game isn't right for you since you are still in high school or this is just a hobby. The game could then be shifted to the perspective of you sharing your problem solving skills and someone else through what it means to be a programmer. Just pretend are teaching someone else how to fix bugs.

    This may seem like a silly game but it really works.

    GUI design patterns

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 09:18 PM PST

    I'm working on an ncurses (I know it's a TUI but the same applies) application and I was wondering if there were any guidelines in respect to how to organize my code. For example, id like a to have a generic new_window function that I can use to create windows, but when working with the ncurses form library I have to do some things specific to it. Was wondering what is the best approach in cases like this.

    What are some interesting open source projects?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 08:47 PM PST

    I have been coding since a year now. I have a pretty strong coding base in python and c++ but I have been making small projects till now. I want to contribute to some open source projects, to learn new stuff, collaborate with people, and most importantly build stuff. Are there any ongoing open source projects to which I can contribute?

    Total beginner trying to complete my Final Year Project

    Posted: 02 Nov 2020 12:22 AM PST

    A total beginner with no experience in data analytics.

    Hello everyone

    I am a mechanical engineering final year student who's just started the semester after few months of break due to the corona outbreak.

    So, for my final year project, I have been chosen to do a project called "Rotor dynamics analysis using Data Analytics". For the rotor dynamics part is quite easy for me as informations are all over the internet. Same goes for data analytics, but I have no insight at all on how to execute it. My friend from IT subject suggested Python and R but I have no basics on it.

    Can anyone suggest not the easiest software to use, but the easiest to learn and to execute the data analytics? Thank you for all the help!

    How does arithmetic work in terms of memory in C

    Posted: 02 Nov 2020 12:01 AM PST

    etc an int pointer *ptr is declared. if i do,

    for (i=0; i<10; i++) { printf("%d", ptr+i); } 

    Does anything change in the memory block where *ptr is located? Or is the value that is being printed stored somewhere on the stack? Also, does the same thing apply to operations that don't involve variables like printf("%d", 1+1); ? Is the value that is printed stored or not?

    C# how can I use returned information from different return types?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 11:48 PM PST

    Not sure really how to ask this, but in c#, a return type of "void" returns nothing... But if my return type is something else, how do I then use that returned information either within the same method, or outside that method?

    Programming Buddy

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 11:44 PM PST

    I was browsing reddit when I came across a post from u/ultraviolet_elmo on r/learnprogramming titled "Need a programming buddy".

    I was searching for a buddy myself as well. I am quite new to web development. It's only been about 2-3 months, and I always thought how good it would be to have a friend who goes with you on a similar route. I could ask questions when I was confused and could answer those I know answer of as well.

    But I am a shy guy. So I didn't have the guts to search for one. This post inspired me, so I created a simple Discord server where newbie programmers can come and talk with each other.

    The server is called programming buddy and everyone is invited.

    Link: https://discord.gg/Y7YNQzUM

    The reddit post I was inspired from: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/jm8760/need_a_programming_buddy/

    Help me understand the logic of this program. Check whether a number is prime.

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 11:35 PM PST

    I am trying to break each line down to truly understand the logic.

    I understand a prime number is a number only divisible by 1 and itself.

    Thanks.

    #include <iostream>

    using namespace std;

    int main()

    {

    int num1, ctr = 0;

    cout << "\n\n Check whether a number is prime or not:\n";

    cout << "--------------------------------------------\\n"; cout << " Input a number to check prime or not: "; cin>> num1; 

    for (int a = 1; a <= num1; a++)

    {

    if (num1 % a == 0)

    {

    ctr++;

    }

    }

    if (ctr == 2)

    {

    cout << " The entered number is a prime number. \n";

    }

    else {

    cout << " The number you entered is not a prime number. \n";

    }

    }

    How would I go about creating a game on the Switch?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 07:27 PM PST

    My knowledge of programming is somewhat minimal and I know nothing more than a bit of C++ that I learned a few years ago and, as such, this question will probably sound very stupid, but here I go anyway.

    I am really interested in getting into game programming and, to be more specific, I want to develop a game for Switch. My question is: how does the process of creating the game actually work? I have a very rough idea of how I would have to do things in order to create a game for PC (using unity), but when it comes to the switch I have absolutely no idea. Do I simply create the game and things will work themselves out, or is there something else that I must do? Is the process when it comes to creating a game using Unity for PC the same as it is for the Switch?

    Thanks in advance.

    Rubik’s cube solver for a beginner project (Advice needed)

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 11:13 PM PST

    Greetings all,

    I am very new to programming and I have been looking for a project to fiddle with alongside learning my first language. I was wondering if a Rubik's cube solver would be a suitable beginner project for someone learning python.

    I don't mind putting in the effort but my main concern is that the project might just be to complicated for a beginner project. Like a new runner trying to sprint a 10km marathon in their first week.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Android Development Programming Language

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 07:19 PM PST

    Recently I have become increasingly interested in Android Development. I have noticed that the main two languages for this are Kotlin and Java. Which language is better for Android Development and is more widely used in the industry? TIA

    Edit: I am not new to programming so Kotlin wouldn't be the first programming language that I learn if I choose Kotlin.

    Alternatives to phpMyAdmin?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 11:01 PM PST

    I'm learning Java and a very small bit of MySQL. I've tried to install phpmyadmin, but no matter what I try, going to serveripaddress/phpmyadmin, brings up a page of raw php code.

    I'm really coming down to it here. It's been two weeks of dealing with this rather than actually learning. I'm not really focusing on learning MySQL. So the ide doesn't need to be wildly powerful. I just need to get a basic database up and running to start getting back to Java.

    I have a server through Hostinger with root access.

    Please help. I'm a desperate idiot.

    Why use Reactive programming when Streams or Lambda expression can do the job in this case?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 10:25 PM PST

    Hi experts,

    I came to know about reactive programming while doing my research on SpringBoot.

    While going thru this tutorial at

    https://www.tutorialspoint.com/rxjava/rxjava_filtering_operators.htm

    I noted that Streams and Lambda can also be used in place of Reactive.

    Can someone tell me if this is a good example of React ? Why not use Streams or Lamdbda expression in this case ? Any differences?

    Is it just me or does Visual Studio Code's Debugger seem way too complicated compared to other IDEs?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 11:22 AM PST

    I am new, been using VSC as my instructor recommended it even though we are taught QC and so far VSC seems more fancy within most customizations but the debugger seems way more complicated than other IDEs?

    Like on other IDEs I would just press debugger, and see all the variable types but with VSC it makes a weird launch.json that you have to fill out and it takes way more time?

    I am new so give me some tips? Is there an easy way to debug with VSC?

    I am getting close to switching to IntelliJ.

    Advice and suggestions needed for solving a conflict as a University student.

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 08:55 PM PST

    I'm a CS student in the second year of my degree, and I would like to have some advice or suggestion from the community. If this post is out of the topic for this subreddit, it'll be really helpful if you guys know where would be a better subreddit to post this. Thanks.

    Well, I'm currently in a situation where I did two projects for a course's final project and course work project for my first year programming course. Then at the starts of a new semester(currently), the course lecturer asked me to join a competition using those projects. I don't mind putting her name as the group members as she's the one that asked me to join the competition, but the thing that I don't satisfy about is that I will also need to add others lecture from my university as well as lectures from another university as the team member, although I never contacted them, seen them and they never even involved in the project.

    Then my lecturer told me that it's because we're partnership and collaborating with them. The thing is no one ever helped me with the project or did they ever give any suggestion for the project. When I asked my lecturer, why do I even need to do that? She replied me with the word that I became to hate lately, "sharing is caring". I mean which part of it is sharing... Then I replied to her with the hope that I didn't trip a land mine, "But they never involved with anything or did anything for the project..." Then, she replied me with "This has something to do with the fees for the competition". She did say that she's going to handle the fees, but she never told me that, it would mean that the guys that are paying for the fees will also be getting their names on the projects.

    I know that the project is somewhat simple, but I put in hundreds of hours into them (I'm still a beginner in programming). When I knew that the hard work that I've put in would be shared with other people when they never did anything really piss me off. It's like having a knife stabbing through my chest from the front (not from the back but the knife still went through the back it seems).

    I would like to quit the competition, but then I scared that it'll affect my degree(as I'll be literally disobeying my lectures instruction) and they've paid for the fees... Any suggestion or advice is very much appreciated. Thanks for reading by the way and remember to stay safe guys :D.

    *Update*She added another reply, "They did give some suggestion and comments on the poster"... I was like...seriously...

    Learning the Miscellaneous Stuff

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 08:19 PM PST

    I'm in a university computer science course, and while I've enjoyed learning our language, I've found that it's pretty insular- they don't teach us a lot of the miscellaneous stuff.

    I'm on the second semester of the CS track, and we have only learned C++. All our projects deal with data structures and algorithms. The only output we've ever used is the terminal window.

    However, I regularly see myself reading about "react.js, flask, APIs, jupyter notebooks, dataframe" and a bunch of other words I only have a vague conception of (as a result of multiple google searches). It's gotten to the point where I've kept a list.

    On my end, I've realized that while I'm comfortable with the code, I have no concept of the underlying tools and structures built around it. As a result, I'm very limited in what I can do. If I needed to build a simple web scraper, I wouldn't even know where to start, but set me up with a challenge on Coderbyte and I'm in heaven.

    So here's my question: Where can I find out about all these miscellaneous(non-coding language) concepts that I haven't learned yet? Is there a website, book, any source of knowledge where I can systematically read through rather than accumulating knowledge by chance through google searches?
