| Depression and sadness learning web development Posted: 24 Jan 2021 07:05 AM PST Im currently learning front end web development (for 2 month now) and I can't even do a simple weather app. If I look on github to others code I understand it, but it's hard to reproduce it on my own. I have a job ( it's not in IT) which I hate it from the bottom of my heart, each day I suffer from burnouts, I hate my life and I really want to get into web development, but sometimes (like now) I feel like Im too stupid to do this. What do you think? Do you have any advice? Thank you very much! EDIT! Thank you so much for everybody being so good with me, and you guys gave me great advices! Tomorrow I will give to all of you upvotes! You are all my friends and I'm happy I could find such a great community here. So I know html,css, and javascript. About javascript what I know is how to manipulate dom, and now I'm working for a better understanding of REST Apis, to fetch data and response from server. After I posted initially I read a few of your comments and gave me motivation and started to work on this project again, and yes I made it! Of course with soulutions on github, but I did it. Here the link with the app https://dorelmarian20.github.io/scoala-informala/WeatherForecast/ Tomorrow I will work on the design of the app. What I need to exercise more is on APIs and how to fetch data send and respons with json. Thank you once again! I still want to hear more advices from you guys! Thanks a lot! You have no ideea how much this helps me and how much you helped me! My life had huge fall after my father death in 2019, but that's another story. Thanks again! [link] [comments] |
| How can I start "thinking like a programmer"? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 07:27 PM PST I'm studying IT. I really like it and I really think I've found my call. I do have some trouble here and there with x program or x concept but overall I have been doing fine. The other day, one of our teachers left us with a couple exercises that were supposed to help us start "thinking like a programmer". He explained that computers only understand logic (obvs) unlike us humans and that we need to start unlearning the "human" ways to start thinking the "programmer/computer" ways. The exercises have been fun to do tbh, but I do have some trouble with some of them. What are some ways in which I can grow this "thinking like a programmer" thing? Logic games? Resources?

| Graduating but dont feel like i know how to do any real programming? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 06:31 PM PST Im graduating in May with a computer science degree. The final class I have required is intro to software engineering which I am taking this semester (as well as mobile app development for the experience). I feel like I barely know how to program at all. The only languages I could say I have any comfort in are Java, C/C++, and SQL. We learned scheme as well but I dont know if theres really a practical use for it. Besides for doing homework and solving problems, I have no real idea how to apply anything Ive learned. Im doing things like hackerrank problems to freshen up and test myself but even then I have no idea if what I'm doing would be useful in a job. Ive started looking at internships and junior developer positions but I dont know how well Id do, I feel like I rely heavily on google to make even simple things work. I have no motivation or ideas for any personal projects and just trudge along doing a few hacker rank or leetcode problems a day and i feel like I dont even have time as I work full time as well. How can I get over this feeling of incompetence and improve my programming? [link] [comments] |
| What field of programming could I like? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 05:18 PM PST I have been learning programming these weeks and the truth is I do not know which field I like and which I have available, I like to analyze and optimize as much as possible and try to make the best decisions. I study software engineering and I like "strategy" games like LoL, TFT and Chess in case it has any relevance or any recommendation that they can give me based on this. [link] [comments] |
| Decided to Ask for Help. Server with Python Posted: 24 Jan 2021 09:16 PM PST I am trying to create a group chat using python in order to run server side processes. However, looking at many articles online left me more confused. I didn't even know where to start. It requires running through terminal, but I don't even know how to do that. Using SSH shell for Chrome is something I have considered doing, but I do not know how to use it and name ports. End results: I need help with creating a server and doing it with python or other server side language. The group chat will be able to be made and it will be customized. [link] [comments] |
| Any ways to learn Python in The Odin Project style? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 06:24 PM PST Hey everyone, I'm highly interested in learning now a programming language, which I decided to be Python. But there are way to many resources and I can't really keep up with what to watch. I started learning Web development from The Odin Project and freecodecamp a couple months ago (on and off at the start but back on track). However, I really enjoyed TOP as it was in text format with the more detailed explanation with Git and the Terminal. I prefer this way much more when learning as I could just jump back to a certain page at any time instead of watching a video and play-backing constantly. Basically I was wondering what resources most people recommend (not asking for the best) but just the favourite way they learned and if you are confident in your ability to use Python, please share your story as I would like to know how you learnt. I do prefer people who read books or just text based learning but I just want to listen to how everyone prefers to learn. In short, I just want to know about a resource that explains python in the same format as The Odin project. I hope there are some hidden gems as TOP was one for me after using free code camp. Also, I haven't finished and in the middle of learning HTML, CSS and JS. Still using the Odin project and freecodecamp, but wanted to just dabble into Python and see how it goes as I am trying to implement it into my website projects. I am not interfering with my current learning of Full stack web development (I hope). Look forward to everyone's response :) [link] [comments] |
| coding for kids? Looking for an introductory app that presents the basics in a fun way Posted: 24 Jan 2021 01:04 PM PST I have a very bright 5 yr old who has been playing with code-a-pillar and algorithm city. (I think Khan academy for kids also has a similar type of section.) Both did a great job of achieving that purpose but he's ready to move on. My question is this- it seems all these kid's coding apps teach how to write scripts based on directions and motion (left, right, jump, stop, that sort of thing). What would be a good "next step"? I'm not sure if I'm even phrasing that correctly, but I don't know how else to ask it. Huge caveat- I don't know how to code myself, but I'm willing to learn alongside him, taking the first steps so that he doesn't have to slog through the instructions and painful early steps where everything is foreign and difficult. Don't worry, I"m not putting any pressure on him, I'm only doing this because he is a curious kid who generally likes to be challenged. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2021 05:25 PM PST This isn't a fishing for ideas post, I have enough of those. I was wondering what your first project was and how it made you feel? Ideally a little more complex than hello world or fizz buzz but if that had a profound impact on you that would be nice to hear as well. [link] [comments] |
| Is it okay if my projects are guided projects? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 10:12 PM PST This is a really dumb question. I am learning programming on my own. I learn Python and Javascript mostly from guided projects from Jetbrains or Codex. These projects range in difficulty from easy to challenging. Does it look terrible in the eyes of software engineering interviewers if my projects are guided projects? [link] [comments] |

| Advice for improving and choosing a language. Posted: 24 Jan 2021 09:01 PM PST Hey, I've been programming for 3-4 years as a hobbyist & student and I've been wanting to focus on an area and language of programming for a while, after doing weeks of head-numbing google searches I thought it'd be helpful to get some specific answers. In that time I've worked with Clojure, C, Python, JavaScript, Rust, Elixir, Haskell & Lisp; each with about 1-5 months of usage. Whilst I have completed around 2 dozen projects I'm proud of, I don't feel like I am where I should be, I'm very passionate about computer science and programming I love the theory aspect as much as I do getting my hands dirty with debugging but I want to finally decide on a programming language that I can "master" and improve with, both to dedicate my time on meaningful projects and to use time otherwise wasted on my other interests. I'm currently doing a college course in Applications development, I imagine it's what I'll go into in the future but my real interests lie in graphics and systems programming, I don't mind focusing on other languages to get the job done but I would like to work on these extensively in my free time, this leaves me with 3 real options Rust, C and C++. I'm pretty content with Rust, despite it being relatively young it's a nice language, although confusing at times, and the guaranteed safety is a nice bonus. My real stress lies in C vs C++ (yes, this has been done to death). I really adore C it's a beautiful, simple language and I feel fairly comfortable with it, but given it's age and tediousness at times I've been eyeing C++ for a while, it's also fairly popular in the programming industry which is also a bonus, I've tried to get started with it 3-4 times but it's quite difficult to get going and does not provide the debugging fun I have with other low-level languages. There seems to be a lot of hate surrounding it and the inner conflict surrounding trying to settle with one is starting to really pay a toll on me. I'm sure deciding on a language is a pain most programmers experience at some point, how did you decide?, what are your suggestions?, am I going about this completely wrong? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Advice for becoming a developer? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 02:12 PM PST I'm wondering if anyone has any advice or maybe a similar experience with what I want to do. I am 27, live in the UK and I spent years in a garage but hurt my back so onto a welcomed career change. As far as formal education goes I dont really have much passed GCSE level due to the work I've pursued previously in my life I'm looking to start a career as a backend developer but no idea how to really progress. I've started to learn Python but I have no idea where to progress from there and how to actually get work in the future. Is it best to study python and another 1 or 2 languages (I've been avoiding this for the time being as I'm fairly new.) Would it be better to find an affordable boot camp? Or would university be a better option? I've read so many different things from so many different places, and seen so many b/s advertisements claiming guaranteed employment after boot camps etc im not sure what to believe. Any advice is welcomed and thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Learning win32 apis in C++ and having a hard time getting Microsoft's examples to run Posted: 24 Jan 2021 08:59 PM PST I'm in the middle of figuring out how to do a fun project idea I came up with, but first I think I need to learn about coding win32. Microsoft's documentation is easy to read and explains itself well, but I'd like to follow along by compiling and poking at their code, and it's not working. I copied the example code from this page into a file in a new, otherwise-empty Visual Studio 2019 project, and when I go to compile, I get these errors: I tried changing ...adding "hPrevInstance" to the second argument as an earlier page made it seem that was necessary, but it didn't help. So now I'm wondering if there are either other files needed in the project that aren't explained in the resources I've read, or if it needs to be called by the OS itself in order to invoke the main function (but why would that cause linker errors?) I also tried using WinMain instead of wWinMain and changing the arguments appropriately, but ended up having similar errors. I'm a bit daunted by Visual Studio itself, so I'm not ruling out that it could be something I've done wrong there, either. Can anyone help me get the example code working? Thanks! [link] [comments] |

| Options for "Research Based Python Courses / Certifications" Posted: 24 Jan 2021 08:55 PM PST So my uni has asked me to take up any one "research based python course" that will be paid by the uni, so what is the best certification I can take? By research based I mean stuff like numpy, scipy, pandas. More Data Science / ML related stuff. Something like Using Python for Research There are free courses out there, but its the certificate that is expected in my uni. So any relevant suggestions are welcome. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2021 06:25 PM PST I'm 25, going on 26 next year. I got my undergraduate degree in business management in 2017. And over the course of my work from 2017-2019, I fell in love with some of the technology at my disposal and working with my analytics team. I wanted to problem solve with data and long wanted to be a Data Scientist or Software Engineer. I wasn't sure. But, it felt like a clearer path. And it goes without mentioning CompSci is more lucrative overall. Not that this is for the money, but I've never made over $35K in limited experience and financial security is a major fact for me as well. People often berate others for wanting things for financial compensation...but once you've been evicted and have to sleep in your car, it lights a fire under you. I began grad school last March. It's an online and reputable program. Top 200 school/program, so I'm not like at MIT, but it's not a joke. But, some often ask if you can do CompSci as a Master's without doing it in undergrad and the answer is yes. I wanted a career change, I wanted the value of a Master's, so that's why I did it. But honestly, the entire way through I've hated myself. I feel horrible. I feel like shit. I feel like an imposter. I don't belong. I can't do it. I won't succeed. Etc. This program does acclimate you as a beginner - you take five "introductory courses" to which I've gotten through. I'm not confident for sure. One homework problem takes a day if I do it on my own, and my grades are high, but mostly due to cancelled final exams or relaxed grading policies due to the pandemic, riots, elections, etc. In the past year or so, I do feel I've picked up on foundations. I took two Data Structures classes, two Systems classes and a Discrete Math course. I have a fundamental understanding of algorithms, run speeds, when to use what and when, etc. Conceptually, I could tell you when to use MergeSort vs InsertionSort. Nothing you couldn't just look up or find in a book, but conceptually, I feel okay. As a programmer, I'm dreadful. I'm just scared. This is all new to me. In the past 12 months I've done Python, Java and C. Which, to a non-programmer would be like asking me to do French, Italian, and Spanish. Not *that* different from one another (except C I guess), but you know...enough to overwhelm and confuse me. Just as I'm starting to get a feeling for one, it's off to the other. Now I'm doing Python again for the first time in my new class since March and I forget it all. I don't know. And even then, I've had trouble with assignments. I feel dishonest. I Google a lot. I talk to others in the class a lot. I use Stack a lot. I feel like I've been cheating and like I'm an imposter and I hate myself every week an assignment is due. But I need it done. If all of this feels schizophrenic, I'm sorry. I've been balling my eyes out all night. I reached my breaking point this semester. I'm taking a tried and true Algorithms course. It builds off my DS work for sure, but now we're in "foundational" class territory, no longer intro. The lectures are really math heavy compared to DS, so that's an inherent challenge. But the concepts the Prof goes over don't baffle me. We did Divide and Conquer and Backtracking and the concepts make sense to me. I get why they are done, when professor goes over code I can comprehend his thinking...but then his review questions are so hard. His quizzes are hard, his homeworks are revved up to 100 after lectures felt manageable. His hints for homework are "It's easy!" and it makes me feel like fucking shit because it's not easy to me. And he seems like a good professor. Nice guy, succinct lectures. But it took me 12 tries to get 5/5 questions right on his quiz. The homeworks are no longer taking me one day each but multiple days. And I can't focus because I hate myself. I can't code things on my own on a blank slate, I can't walk through these problems, other kids in the lecture ask smart questions, post well thought out dissection of problems in our Discord, and I can't even figure out the "easy" problems. And I've got a midterm in three weeks where I don't even know what to do. I've debated asking the professor, but what can he do? How can I tell him my life story and my struggles and figure out how to do this. Again sorry, I'm having a mental breakdown. I want to do this. I want to prove I can do something challenging. But I feel no pride. There's no pride or joy of only being able to answer problems by piecing together similar examples online as I bum rush for time. I have 20 hours a week allocated for school, I can't do 40, 50, 60. I went to school to learn all this stuff. Why the fuck isn't this clicking? What's wrong with me? I can't be this dumb. I knew it was hard, I wanted a challenge and got one, but it's not sticking. I don't feel confident, I don't feel prepared on anything beyond conceptual conversation and pseudo, and the homework feels so much harder than what he says, so do the quizzes. And worst of all, I feel alone. The lone class idiot while everyone else has been programming and putting together computers since they were 12, i'm just figuring out now I'd like to do this. And I have tons of stress compounding. I've been unemployed for 8 months due to COVID, I have been so stressed that my eczema has come back for the first time since I was a baby, I've lived in my car for two weeks, I'm doing interview and case study prep to get jobs, I apply to 100 jobs a day. But, I can't just put this degree off. It needs to be done. It already won't be until 2023. I need to push through so I can grow in my role and eventually into a DS or SE sort of position. But it feels like I'm not clicking at school. What do I do? Just survive by any means necessary and just figure it out when I get a job in the field? How can I even get one when I'm this not confident. I don't have 5-6 hours a night practicing problems. I allocated that time for school. What more can I do? I try so fucking hard. And tonight on the "easy" problem, I don't even know where to start. I get overwhelmed, ball my eyes out, and lay in bed. I feel broken. I have no mentor, my school's been useless, no encouragement. I'm alone on this island of idiocy while all these people surpass me in every way because they knew what they wanted to do and I wanted to make a career change. I can't be this dumb but it's not clicking, what's wrong with me. Why do I run out of time and feel the need to cheese it and feel awful. I either feel awful using Stack or feel awful asking a classmate or feel awful just failing. Why is the work given so much more advanced to such a large degree than what he's teaching us? I don't know. I'm losing all will to even live. The walls are closing in and I can't breathe. Work, illness, school. I just want one thing, I want confidence, I can't manage all this. I don't belong and can't do it and can't even get help (before anyone tells me to get it), becuase I'm off my family insurance and have no help without a job. Sorry, I needed to rant. I can't do this I don't know how to approach this, why am I this fucking dumb. I wanted to prove I'm smart and resilient and can do this cool creative work with data and technology on a technical scale. But, idk...idk i feel broken w/4 foundational courses to go and 8 elective/major courses left. Sorry, i know i dont belong. but i wanted to, i really wanted ot be confident but idk how to manage this time wise or what to do to learn to have it sit with me or what. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2021 11:56 PM PST Hi, I am planning to learn the C programming language. I have programming experience in Java (5 years) and Python (3 years). I was wondering what book would be good for me to use to study. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2021 01:22 PM PST How do you guys use pen and paper to code and/or study? I saw a huge number of people saying that pen and paper is one of their main ways of thinking what they will code, but I have no idea how to do it. [link] [comments] |

| Tools similar to Sourcetrail that successfully open encrypted files Posted: 24 Jan 2021 11:34 PM PST Okay so I definitely feel I need a source browser tool to understand this large code base and see how the relationships are established across different source files of different functions and all. Sourcetrail seems like a nice tool but the thing is some of the files I'm dealing with are encrypted and opening those files in Soucetrail errors out: I've been checking out VSCode as well but doesn't look like it does the same job as Sourcetrail though I can view the encrypted files. Are there any other decent tools that I could make use of? [link] [comments] |
| Learning C,C++ sufficient to remove features from a large application. Posted: 24 Jan 2021 05:27 PM PST This is not a solution check, but more of a reality check for my idea, and whether it is attainable or a fools errand. Question: How much time/effort should I realistically expect to spend to learn enough C and C++ knowledge to remove features (UI or full backend removal) in a large application such as Open Broadcaster Software? Background: At the company I work at, we wish to leverage Open Broadcaster Studio for live meetings and events, but only with the Virtual Webcam option currently built in. Company policy does not allow software which can in itself stream to online services, so I would need to remove these features (Facebook, Twitch and other streaming types). To get this application approved, I may be able to simply remove all button references to the functionality in the UI, but keep the backend active - but may need to remove the whole backend (under investigation). My Coding Skills: Next to none - capable at scripting such as HTML, CSS, Bash and Powershell, but have no knowledge of C or C++. TL;DR: Wish to bring Open Broadcaster Software to our company, but policy requires it not have live streaming capability built in (Facebook, Twitch, etc.). Need to study enough programming to learn how to remove these features (or, potentially just all the reference buttons to them in the UI). Is this attainable, or a wasted time sink for a newbie?
