    Is it normal to spend a long time on simple programs as a beginner?

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 05:48 PM PST

    Hello, I've recently started the MITx course on python. I come from a background in physics, but I have pretty much no knowledge on programming, we did a bit of c++ and matlab but most of the time the code was given to us and we just had to acquire the results, we never learnt the basics, so, I've taken it upon myself to learn and master it.

    However, as I am going through this course, I dont' struggle at all with the mathematical concepts, but I really take a while getting some of the exercises done. When the exercises involve us analysing code I understand and can visualise the steps, but writing it myself I almost always take longer than the expected time, unless its really simple and under 5 mins expected time.

    I was wondering if this is normal for a beginner and if others are in the or were in the same position as I am in now. Im not discouraged from learning more, some of the code I've been writing and learning about has been really interesting and I'm already trying to picture what programs I can make. I believe that in a couple months it should be second nature as anything else, but a part of me is saying that I'm not learning it quick enough, just wanted to make sure this is how it is starting out, or if not, I need to practice much more.

    Thank you in advance for your replies!

    Is there a subreddit for getting help with a small project?

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 04:29 AM PST

    Hi guys, I am not familiar with the rules and traditions of this subreddit, so I have to ask: I have a smaller project (displays data about covid), and I think it works but I am sure that it is not perfect and lacks professionalism. Where can I get some help and opinion about the code?

    Edit1: thank you for the responses! Some of you asked, so here is the code: https://github.com/nygaben/covid-in-hungary

    On GitHub pages you find the website. Please consider it is not responsive, I have to learn that! And I am a beginner yet!

    My main questions are:

    1. Is it a "good" JS code? Looks like a spaghetti and I wonder how could I make it more "professional"?
    2. How could I make it responsive? (a dear user gave me some changes in the styling, thank you, I will take a look!)

    Edit2: thank your for the commits on github, I don't know what to say, I've become kinda emotional. It is a nice thing that you spend time with my code and help me. To be honest I have to look up how to merge stuffs because this is the first time! :D All in all, it is a great feeling to have so great people around me!!! I think this is a best gift for a beginner!

    What happens if you’re just plain stuck? Even after exhausting all resources?

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 10:03 PM PST

    If you want to build a cookie cutter application then that is ok. The app I am building doesn't exist since it is why I'm building it. It deviates a good amount from cookie cutter so even researching till I'm blue in the face I get nothing.

    There are like 1 to 2 threads on stack overflow that have somewhat similar problems, but with no responses. At this point I know I hit a dead end. What do you do in this case?

    I have exhausted YouTube, StackOverflow, GitHub, Subreddits, Medium Posts, Package documentation, course purchasing, etc

    Hardest thing about building an application is not idea or anything like that, but pure technical ability.

    Coding/studying at night more effective. Habit or natural?

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 03:54 PM PST

    Hey there. I am starting my first uni year this month. Before that I was studying java by myself from a book. Back then I was reading it at night and practicing at night. But since I am starting university in a few days. I tried to wake up early to get used to university hours. And I found myself troubled with studying or coding in day hours. I cannot focus, get in the zone, or simply get myself to actually study. There are too many distractions. Food, hunger, or sun. Sun shining down my window. When it's night, it's chill. Dark room with just light of my lightbulb or just computer screen. No need to worry about eating, shower or brushing teeth because you done it already so you got no responsibilities but being ready to sleep when you're done with coding. Is it actually more effective to code at night for majority of it's just a bad habit of mine possible to change?

    Hello, I'm new to the programming field and I would like to program hardware used in the renewable energy sector.

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 04:27 PM PST

    I know it seems like a broad statement but that's what I've got so far. I'm new. Just started looking at c++. My friend is about to get their computer science degree and what I've looked at appeals to me.

    Im just wondering if anyone can steer me in the direction to resources where I can do more research about jobs in that sector.

    My first coding interview!

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 08:53 PM PST

    I applied for an entry level software developer position that required 0-3 years experience and only really asked for a bachelors degree and working knowledge of some basic programming languages.

    I passed the first round of interviews and now I'm to the second round. The email they sent me said that it was going to be a coding/problem solving interview and I should come with my favorite text editor(IDE) pulled up and my programming language of my choice which is java.

    Anyways what I'm asking is what kind of questions should I be expecting from an entry level interview like this? Everything im looking up seems to be too highly advanced for 0-3 years of experience.

    Has anyone used the C++ zybooks for a class? It is killing me.

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 04:51 PM PST

    I'm using this online textbook called zybooks for my cs class and it is legitimately breaking me down. It is the most difficult thing on earth. I will run my code in repl.it and it will work PERFECTLY and then when I put it in zybooks it gives me all sorts of weird errors. At one point a syntax error in the zybooks console actually made my program WORK! This is no way to learn. Has anyone done the C++ zybooks? I desperately need help. None of the other students are responding to me and my teacher only gives me hints that work in the repl.it but again cause errors in the zybooks console.

    Good resources for linking two languages

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 04:45 PM PST

    Hi, I am C++ developer and as many people might know good cross-platform C++ GUI libraries are few and far between, you are basically limited to QT if you want it to look good. Upon researching the topic someone suggested that I should be separating my C++ logic from the GUI and using a second language that has a better GUI framework.

    So my question is are there any good learning materials for learning how to get a GUI to communicate with a C++ backend, I have never done anything like this and haven't the foggiest where to start.

    All help is appreciated, thanks

    Good OS development working environments?

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 04:33 PM PST

    So I'm planning to make an OS. I have about 5 years of serious programming experience. I was trying to find something like Cosmos but with C/C++ instead of C#. I'm not terribly interested in making bootloader's or kernels so I was also considering the Linux from Scratch book.

    Any recommendations? I have experience in Linux and with C/C++/python/C#/Java and a little x86 Assembly although I'd like to stay away from Assembly.

    Any one in the industry know if programming certificates from community college can get a foot in the door? This includes 3 semesters of a programming including data structures.

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 10:58 PM PST

    I am getting a unix operating system and python programming certificates which included a lot of course - was wondering if these have weight at all for future employers to get an interview.

    Why should I worry about space complexity?

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 06:54 PM PST

    It's 2021, storage is cheap, who cares about space complexity anymore? Should I tell my professor to get with the times or get left behind?

    Javascript or Python?

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 06:51 PM PST

    Hi guys,I'm new to this,I mean I have the same programming knowledge as a 3 year old baby.I've been looking at platforms to learn programming and some books.how good is Pluralsight for learning programming?.I'd like to learn Python,but I'm also interested in web development,things like Javascript,html5,css(as far as I read those 3 go hand in hand).I am not fluent in English,I know that there is content that has better quality than many of those I find in Spanish.I wanted to learn Java,but it is very long and complicated(for me).I was given a subscription to Pluralsight.If anyone else uses it to learn I would like to get an opinion,to know whether to continue paying for it,since I was thinking of getting a year subscription.I have doubts about mathematics in programming,I know the basics,I never touched algebra in my life.which is easier backend or frontend in programming.and what is the learning path for frontend.python is more employable compared to javascript.thanks.

    Software Developers - the new "kingmakers?"

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 03:02 PM PST

    Why should software developers continue being "the new kingmakers" instead of just being the kings themselves? Seems like we are enriching investors, salespeople, etc more than we're enriching ourselves. What do you think? What do we need to do to demand more of the fruits of our labor?

    Books to learn machine learning entirely from scratch, without libraries?

    I was reading about how the flutter architecture works and saw that the flutter engine is written in both c and c++.

    Can python check for values in more than one list?

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 11:47 PM PST

    I'm pretty new to python as well as programming in general, so I'm trying to experiment with a choose your adventure type text game. I have a list for general actions like up, down, right, left, grab, and so on, but for some of my encounters I want to put in some special actions options that are unique to that encounter alone. Is it possible for Python to check two lists for existing values without giving an error message?

    Hello there, Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Python, I just want to start a little bit different for personal reasons. Which languages I could look at? Ruby, C# or others? My main objective is to land a job, but Im aware that is a distant future, and before that I want just have some fun with the language. :)

    Thank you for your expertise!

    Multiply The Odd Numbers From A File Using A Recursive Function

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 11:36 PM PST

    Hi, I am new to programming and I have to multiply the odd numbers from a file using a recursive function and I keep getting errors
    This is what I managed to do so far :
    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    using namespace std;
    int num=0;
    int id;

    int recursiv(int id)
    {
    if(id==0)
    return 0;
    if(id%2!=0)
    return id*recursiv(id-1);
    }

    int main()
    {
    ifstream file ("intrare.in.txt");

    if(file.is_open())
    {
    while(file >> id)
    {
    cout<< id <<" ";
    num=num+1;

    }
    cout<< endl;
    cout<< num<<endl;
    file.close();
    }
    cout<< recursiv(id);

    return 0;
    }

    The numbers from the file are: 7 3 4 2 1 8 6 5 0 9
    I tried some methods from this site https://code4coding....recursion-in-c/ but it refers to just 2 numbers while I have more than 2 in my file
    I would appreciate if you could help me

    How to host Python code so that it runs 24/7?

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 05:29 PM PST

    I have a Discord bot that I want to run 24/7. Some details:

    • Connects to 2 APIs: Discord and Google Firestore
    • Consists of 3 .py files and 1 json file

    I've tried Heroku, but for whatever reason, it wasn't compatible with my project. Looking for other options. Thanks!

    EDIT: It will only run on one server with very minimal CPU usage.

    Is programming supposed to feel like this?

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 11:16 PM PST

    I copy paste large portions of code from other places, I have no idea why the code looks like it does, no idea why the syntax would be like that, no real knowledge about the library, I make changes purely on intuition and infer what has to be done on circumstantial evidence, even when I do get it right i have no idea why it works, is coding supposed to feel this empirical and slapstick?
