| Read the documentation, not stack overflow. Posted: 16 Feb 2021 10:19 AM PST I'm an android developer and started learning web development a couple of months ago. Today I realized I haven't used stack overflow not even once since then. This is because every time I needed to learn something new, I went straight to the documentation and spent a few days trying to understand it deeply. When I started learning android development as my entry to programming, I wasn't able to get anything useful from the documentation due to my lack of experience. I was learning from Udacity courses and Youtube videos, this has left a gap in my knowledge and I was visiting stack overflow a lot jumping from link to link wasting time. Two months ago I started learning Web development. I've learned HTML, CSS, JS, React, Redux, React-Redux, React-Router, Bootstrap, React-Bootstrap, Material UI and more. All by myself without spending one dollar. My approach was to first read the documentation, then see someone on Youtube apply it in a real-world project, then start applying it in my own projects until I'm comfortable with it. Stack overflow is great and very helpful, of course. But you should first spend some time on the documentation to understand it deeply. It will give you confidence and save you a lot of time. And remember: Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. [link] [comments] |
| From where should I start learning Math if I'm not too good at maths? Posted: 16 Feb 2021 02:41 AM PST Sorry for my bad English, its not my native! Hopefully not irrelevant to this group but I'll give it a shot! I've never been really good at Maths, I never failed at Maths but I've never been so good at it either. The last time I did maths with the full focus was 3 years ago I think so while I'm writing this, i think it wont be incorrect to say the only thing I know is basic arithmetic like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, thats all so I dont wanna waste my time spending re-learning these stuff again. I've been programming for last 6 months and I've heard by many that math is necessary to be a good programmer so that gave me a little bit of motivation to start learning math as well. So all in all, where should I start learning math? I mean do I start with basic algebra? I heard you need to learn LOGIC, Discrete Math, Calculus etc to be a good programmer but I feel thats a bit too advanced and I need to get down basic firsts. Any suggestion is appreciated.

| projects that stand out vs projects that don't Posted: 16 Feb 2021 11:37 AM PST Hi guys, I've been self-teaching myself programming for the past few months (I started in October 2020) and and am now working on new projects, with the intent to add them to my portfolio. My goal is to become to a junior programmer at a company within the next year. I've been reading a lot of posts about new programmers, and one thing I've seen (especially from programming directors and people in charge of hiring) is that most self-taught portfolios look the same, and that they have almost always the same projects. So I've been wondering, what are those projects they are talking about? How do you stand out efficiently from the competition? What is something you should not put in a portfolio VS something that you should? Thank you for the tips! [link] [comments] |
| How do I find a programming mentor? Posted: 16 Feb 2021 05:46 PM PST I'd like to have someone to have tough conversations with and someone that can help me stay accountable during my learning and career. Any thoughts on how I might find an experienced developer looking to be a mentor? [link] [comments] |
| Taking the leap - career change in my thirties. Posted: 16 Feb 2021 04:22 PM PST Hi everyone, A little background... I became a mom at a very young age and didn't focus on a career path. I was duped at the age of 18 into believing a Business degree from the University of Phoenix would set me up for a good-paying, long-term career. The only thing it set me up for was about $80k in student loan debt. I've been in different roles from college recruiter, to leading a team of loan officers, to leading the entire Support team for a well known Tech company. Most of my recent and advanced experience is in Customer Support. I now make over six figures, but I'm absolutely miserable. I've been taking a free coding course and have found myself quite liking it. I've been looking into the possibility of becoming a developer, but not sure if I would even be good at it. I guess my main questions are:
Any advice is immensely appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Should we only master one programming language? Posted: 17 Feb 2021 12:10 AM PST Hi Guys! I would like to ask what are your thoughts and opinions on which is actually better: Is it good to know and master at least one programming language through your entire programming career? Or be a jack-of-all trades and deal with multiple programming languages? I had this argument before with my previous co-worker and I still question this topic until today. Is there really a need to stick to at least one language and never change? Or is it more of a personal choice to stick to one. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| How do I get started with OpenGL and C? Posted: 16 Feb 2021 05:57 PM PST I have been using C for some time, and now I want to start using 3D libraries, so I want to start using OpenGL. This video showed me some things to consider when using OpenGL, like GLFW, but I still do not know where to start. I would appreciate some *pointers, please. [link] [comments] |
| Entry level Software Dev interview coming up! Posted: 16 Feb 2021 09:50 AM PST Hello all, I have an interview coming up for an entry level software position and I had a question about the way that they worded the email? They said " This interview will include coding exercises focused on basic problem solving. Please attend on a laptop with your favorite code editing tool and programming language of choice." I've never had a coding interview so im excited for the opportunity but I guess what im wondering is what is a basic problem solving question? It sounds to be simple but is this just corporate lingo and these questions will be like google/amazon level of challenging? [link] [comments] |
| OSSU Computer Science Course questions Posted: 16 Feb 2021 08:56 PM PST Ok so, I think I've decided that I want give coding/CS a serious attempt. I'm still not sure what I want to do with my life, but the sooner I try more things the better. I'll find out eventually. That being said, I'm reading through the FAQ and I'm currently giving CodeCademy a shot. I see that it's extremely basic but hey, it's a starting point. I do feel like I'm learning a bit. I also see that following CodeCademy I ought to pursue more rigorous courses. Once I'm done with that, I'm going to buy Head First Java since I've decided that I want to learn JS first. What really caught my eye in the FAQ was the OSSU CS course. Like wow, an entire free CS course that's apparently good. That's amazing. I was thinking about returning to college (doing community first) to major in CS. But I'm thinking of trying the intro to CS portion of the course first to see if I'll actually like the studies. As I mentioned, I'm a bit lost in life currently. Now my questions for the OSSU course: -How good is it? At a glance, it seems too good to be true. -Is this course "recognized"? I'm assuming by completing the course, it would be similar to self education w/o a degree. As in, I would be able to find a job but maybe overlooked for someone with a degree at times. Or am I wrong? -How does the course compare to enrolling at a university? Sorry if this is a dumb question or too broad. I'm considering going to community college for my general eds since financial aid would basically be paying me thousands to go and eventually transferring to a uni/state college (I live in CA). The obvious difference between the OSSU course and enrolling in a university/college is the cost (I would get most costs covered by FAFSA but still would have to take out some loans). The difference I mainly ask about is the level of education. Is a university course superior to the OSSU course? -And lastly: How difficult is the course? I'm assuming very difficult since it states it's emulating a complete CS course. This question is more towards anyone taking it/anyone who has completed it. I ask because I currently work construction/refineries and make real good money, was curious if I would be able to continue learning/working in my field and do 10-15 hours of self education through the course and eventually make a living off it (I realize this sounds kinda dumb considering the answer is "it's up to you, you have to decide how you want to spend your time"). Sorry if some of the questions seem like I'm asking things outside of the programming scope or I'm not being precise (I felt like the stuff I included was important to mention). I just am really interested in this and want to get some answers. I'm considering leaving my union to focus on CS education. I'm kind of tired already of waking up at 4am to go to a job I kind of don't enjoy. A silver lining of the pandemic is that a lot of employers are going to allow people to work from home, and as an introvert that sounds like a dream. Combined with the fact that I already spend most of my free time on a PC this sounds like a pretty good path to take. Thank you for reading. [link] [comments] |
| Webdev course/resources for a beginner. Posted: 16 Feb 2021 09:40 PM PST Hi. Could someone please suggest me good and thorough resources for learning web development (full stack) for a beginner to intermediate/advanced level? I have never done it before and recently was shortlisted for a Hackathon (didn't know that the second round would be a solo hackathon) and man the struggle was real. Needless to say, I couldn't perform. Maybe a good online course perhaps? The expectation is that I should be able to ATLEAST build a complete login/register functionality from scratch.

| What sort is this? Doesn't fall under traditional Selection, Insertion, or Bubble sort. Posted: 16 Feb 2021 09:31 PM PST Learning about the O(n2) sorting algorithms right now. So, I know:
I just wrote this algorithm that does a sort-of optimized version of Bubble Sort x Selection Sort. So this code can take an array like this [3, 4, 2, 1] When i = 0: i = 0, j = 1: a[0] = 3, a[1] = 4 .... 3 > 4 is False so no swap is performed i = 0, j = 2: a[0] = 3, a[2] = 2 ... 3 > 2 is True so swap is performed, and a[0] = 2, a[2] = 3 i = 0, j = 3: a[0] = 2, a[3] = 1 ... 2 > 1 is True so swap is performed, and a[0] = 1, a[3] = 2 So after the first pass, the array looks like [1, 4, 3, 2] When i = 1: i = 1, j = 2: a[1] = 4, a[2] = 3 ... 4 > 3 is True so swap is performed, and a[1] = 3, a[2] = 4 i = 1, j = 3: a[1] = 3, a[3] = 2 ... 3 > 2 is True so swap is performed, and a[1] = 2, a[3] = 3 So after the second pass, the array looks like [1, 2, 4, 3] When i = 2: i = 2, j = 3: a[2] = 4, a[3] = 3 ... 4 > 3 is True so swap is performned, and a[2] = 3, a[3] = 4 So after the third and final pass, the array looks like [1, 2, 3, 4] The last element of the array will be sorted as a result. The array progression looks like this: [3, 4, 2, 1] [1, 4, 3, 2] [1, 2, 4, 3] [1, 2, 3, 4] This doesn't really fall under bubble sort, since bubble sort is comparing adjacent elements at every iteration of the inner loop. This always compares the current element to the rest of the elements, and if a smaller is found, puts it in the current's spot. Is it some worse version of Selection Sort, where we get the minimum element through comparison? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 16 Feb 2021 04:08 PM PST Hi Guys! I'm currently working as a Home Care Nurse. I've only been in nursing for about two years, and from this short experience I can already tell that I am not going to be happy if I stay in nursing. I see more potential in my growth if I decide to go into web development. I did like 60% of Angela's udemy course. And I can see my self constantly growing in this type of environment . I'm 25, Student loans are on hold till September, I still live with my parents and I have a good amount of savings if something ever goes wrong. I was thinking of applying to flat iron and full stack academy and hopefully I get accepted. I still need to do more research on schools but my friend knows someone who has graduated from flat iron and is doing fine. It's been very difficult working full time while trying to code on my free time. I feel stuck in my current position, I just feel like if I can fully dedicate my time to learning I can make something out of this. Also I work from 3pm to 10pm and it's horrible. Thanks for listening guys ! This has been on my mind for so long and I'm kind of scared. [link] [comments] |
| Why is it so hard to get into the IT world Posted: 16 Feb 2021 06:49 PM PST Just something I've asked myself and would like some input? Why it is so hard to get into the web development/software engineer jobs? Especially entry level? Is it flooded at the bottom? For the ones that have been in the industry what are some things self-taught programmers should work on starting out or struggling to hired somewhere? [link] [comments] |
| Rate my learning Pathway for Web Development Posted: 17 Feb 2021 12:03 AM PST Hi everyone, excuse my English. I'm learning web development for the last 3-4 months with a Udemy course. The tech that I m learning are: HTML, CSS, Node.JS(SASS and Gulp) JavaScript, PHP, mySQL. AJAX and JQuery; also, I use VSCode and Microsoft PowerShell. I will put the link to the course below (It's Spanish). I estimate that I will finish this course in 4/6 week. After this I will create a portfolio with the websites that I create in the Udemy Course, and probably began to learn Python and the framework of Djnago, while I m search for a job. Just want to know if this will be enough for a landing a job, or I will require more tech, like know another framework or learn React or something more. Also I m form Spain, I m not sure about what tech are more demanded here ( I need to check the job market for that). The question it's simple: Is this enough for landing in a job as web developer? I will appreciate all feedback. Thanks! Udemy Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/desarrollo-web-completo-con-html5-css3-js-php-y-mysql/ [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 16 Feb 2021 11:18 PM PST Hi! Im a beginner in c++ and I was wondering how I would be able to have a program print the text file with 5th word replaced. Im using the isalpha function because I have to account for spaces and all other characters that are not letters. I have a while loop reading the function and then an if statement nested into it saying that if the previous character is not a letter and the current character is a letter to add 1 to the count. I planned on finding when the remainder of the count / 5 was 0 and then replacing it where that is true. I cannot get my counter to work, I tried testing it to just print the count at the end, but I'm not getting the correct number. Im also not really sure how to replace. any guidance you could give me would be awesome [link] [comments] |
| can I take a c++ class without any knowledge of c? Posted: 16 Feb 2021 10:10 AM PST today was the first day of classes at community college and my professor let us know that if we don't have knowledge of c programming, it may not be best to take c++. I only have the basic knowledge of python. so I know I may have a hard time. should I drop the class and start at c? i'm just kinda annoyed because it may delay me from transferring in two years and I want to apply to usc so i'm a little scared they may look down on me for starting at c. I can also learn c outside of class but idk about that [link] [comments] |

| What do to after learning the basic of programming I have been struggling for 8 month please help Posted: 16 Feb 2021 10:59 PM PST I have been struggling for 8 months not knowing what do to anymore when I first started it was so easy because the number of resources available, but know I don't know what to do, I haven't even tried programming for months because it felt so daunting and I feel completely worthless I even get anxious when think about anything related to it, but now I want to give it another try. I almost never ask help from anyone even though I absolutely need it because it feel shameful, but I don't care anymore I'm going to whatever I need to learn programming and I definitely want programming to be my career because I had so much fun doing I even make code to solve my math homework even though I can solve it myself. My main goal is to get a job in high school so I can help pay for college hack I still have a couple of months in middle school maybe I can even get a job before high school. So please help.

| Advice for programming assignment- arrays Posted: 16 Feb 2021 10:51 PM PST I thought it would be a good idea to get a solid push in the right direction. I'm not asking to be spoon fed code, just some pseudo code or hints would be nice! TLDR of reqs: Consider a function named as getSmallestIntegerWithSmallestTUDCYourName(), (to be abbreviated as getSIWSmallestTDCYourName()),which will Receive an array of integers and its size as arguments; and Return the smallest integer that has the smallest total unique digit count It's also supposed to allow the user to input the # of indices, and the values of the elements. This is c++ which actually probably matters since it'll most likely involve pointers I'm guessing? The reason I'm here is because the professor wants us to use online resources to figure this out + I come from Java so a quick google search fried my brain [link] [comments] |
| What books introduce the technology behind tech stocks to computer novices? Posted: 16 Feb 2021 10:42 PM PST My parents' ETFs incorporate many tech stocks. What books in Simple English explain what such technology companies do? They use their Windows computer casually – just to email, look at pictures, surf the Internet, watch drama, and word process. They don't know any programming! We've read these two lists, and this – but these books aren't intended for computer-challenged investors who aren't interested in computer science per se, and care about technology just for investing in tech stocks. Or must they just identify each branch of IT like cloud computing, cybersecurity, and semiconductors, and start with introductory textbooks in each? My parents are exposed to publicly traded corporations in these branches, because they backup their media on cloud websites, they use anti-malware software (who doesn't?), and they spend money on costlier but better computer parts like CPU's and graphics cards.
