| I'm releasing a free code for my "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" Udemy course. Posted: 27 Nov 2017 11:30 AM PST I'm releasing a free code for my "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" Udemy course: https://www.udemy.com/automate/?couponCode=PY_ALL_THE_THINGS It's free until the end of Friday, Dec 1, 2017. Afterwards it goes back to its normal $50 price. (Though you can use this link https://www.udemy.com/automate/?couponCode=FOR_LIKE_10_BUCKS to buy it for $10. And it's an open secret that if you browse Udemy in privacy mode, they'll show you the discount price to lure in a "new" customer. But course creators get a much larger cut when people use their referral codes.) The course follows the book of the same name, which is available for free, in full, at https://automatetheboringstuff.com under a Creative Commons license. (Which I encourage you to use to share your own creative works.) The course is 50 videos and made for people with no previous programming experience. The first 15 videos are free to view on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F_OgqRuSdI&list=PL0-84-yl1fUnRuXGFe_F7qSH1LEnn9LkW And now I will go self-flagellate to atone for my part in legitimizing "cyber monday".

| Online programming courses that are NOT WebDev Posted: 27 Nov 2017 11:42 PM PST So, I have an interest in programming, but I'm not really interested in web development. Are there any places like FCC out there for this that people know of? [link] [comments]  |
| Is it better to leave long pieces of code inside a main function or place it in a separate method? Posted: 27 Nov 2017 09:28 AM PST I know that if you reuse code in more than one place you should stick it in a method, but how about a long piece of code only used once? Reason I'm asking is because its annoying to read long blocks of code within a main function. Example: vs [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Nov 2017 10:05 PM PST Cobol isnt very popular and I cant find any classes on khan academy for it. For anyone who knows cobol what are some online tools that teach it? Im taking cobol in college and dont really get some stuff because its hard to compare it to any C language and anything I find online is confusing. [link] [comments]  |
| Why doesn't anyone ever talk about Delphi? Posted: 27 Nov 2017 05:38 PM PST Hello. Just wondering why nobody talks about Delphi. From what I've read you can make working programs in hours whereas in other languages it would take you days or weeks. Also the language apparently compiles on all operating systems without having to change the code. Had never heard of it until a few days ago. Any experienced peeps want to shed some light on this for me? [link] [comments]  |
| I really need help making a decision? Posted: 27 Nov 2017 08:44 PM PST Hello guys, I would wish to self-teach myself to become a android developer in the future willing to put hours of work daily. I've done some research about what kind of approach to take but couldn't really get a specific advice with so many different courses recommended. Also, it seems that instead of just learning making apps in android, I should learn Java? Can anyone please give me advice of what steps I need to take? [link] [comments]  |
| Hello! I wrote a project walkthrough and I need new-ish programmers to review it. Posted: 27 Nov 2017 04:47 PM PST Hey, /r/learnprogramming! I've spent a lot of time putting together a project walkthrough. It's meant for people who are new to programming, but have programming experience. I need to know what about the walkthrough is bad, unclear, under-developed, over-done, etc. I want it to be as easy to understand as possible, as to not discourage the reader. Please ignore the style and presentation of the site, and just focus on the actual guide itself. If you're an experienced programmer (especially in C++), I'd love to hear what I completely explained wrong, haha. Any and all advice will be appreciated. I may not get back to your comments until tomorrow, but I promise that I will respond. Thank you! You can find the guide here: http://blog.drago.ninja/sp-part1 [link] [comments]  |
| Why I went from accounting to pm at a hardware company to software engineer before 30 Posted: 27 Nov 2017 11:02 AM PST This is a little story about my journey to software engineering. I'm also starting a youtube channel recreating everything I learned from my Bootcamp. Links below. Would love feed back. Growing up, I was a terrible student. I never really liked going to school and it was always a struggle for my parents to drag me out of bed every morning. It all seemed so pointless to me. Learning random formulas, bits of trivia about the American Civil War, and the barrage of extracurricular activities. In all honesty, all I wanted to do was play video games. I guess I was just like any other kid growing up with the N64. Bottom line, I hated learning for the sake of learning. I wished I knew this about myself a long time ago. Everyone whines about why it was so hard for them to get their first job, especially my generation. I graduated college in 2010, so it wasn't that long after the financial crisis of 2008. No one wanted to hire a fresh college grad with zero experience. My friends and I would often complain about how hard it was to find a job, and how ridiculous these companies were looking to hire grads with two years of work experience. I went to college so I can get a job. How were we supposed to have experience already? said every college grad during that time. If I look back though, there were plenty of opportunities for me to get my feet wet. Instead of applying for internships during the summer, I went abroad to Korea and Japan. Also I was a guild leader in WoW so that took some time away. Biggest understatement ever. I didn't really try to get more experience, because I believed that a awesome job awaited me after I graduated. The point is, getting my first job was tough for me. I grew up pretty sheltered, and I never had to pay for anything. It was such a shock for me that no one wanted to hire me. A fresh college grad with no useful skills with just an economics degree. Its kinda of funny that I thought like this back then. In the end, I convinced my parents that I need to go back to school, and this time I would learn something really practical. Something that every company needed. I found a accelerated accounting program at Santa Clara University that taught everything you needed to learn to sit for the CPA exam in about 8 months. It was perfect for me as I was still not a big fan of school and the thought of going to grad school for two more years gave me the chills. Enter my first job as an Accountant. I was pretty close to getting into one of the big fours. I even went to the final rounds with E&Y. I still blame WoW and my raiding schedule on why I didn't get that job. Luckily, I knew enough Korean and accounting to land a job at a Korean CPA firm. I was pretty stoked about it and I thought I finally made it. This feeling didn't last long. I can go into many reasons why I hated this job, but the main thing was that I didn't enjoy accounting. For lack of better words, I found it boring. I didn't really make anything, I just accounted for things that had already happened. Kinda of ironic that I didn't notice this fact about the job. Even the title of the job literally describes what the job function is. Working for the sake of working is draining. Towards the end of my year at my accounting firm, I wanted to jump ship desperately. Good fortune shined upon me once again in the form of my father. He was able to hook me up with a job at one of his friend's company. This was a totally new field in the semi-conductor industry. I had zero experience and no technical background, but my new boss accepted me with open arms. I started working at Green Circuits. We made PCBA assemblies for hardware companies in Silicon Valley and other parts of the world. the following 5 years or so, I learned a ton under my bosses wings. I become a PM, I had my own clients and things were pretty great, but something was missing. I had a crazy desire to make things. During this time of growth, I started to dabble into a bunch of side projects. My friends and I wanted to make apps so I learned how to draw and make assets. We released a few games and that was awesome. After that, I ran a webcomic series for about a year, started a t-shirt business and even published children books on amazon. I also got into making YouTube videos and podcasting. For whatever reason, I just kept wanted to make things. I had a passion for learning something for a specify goal. My fiancé at the time, now wife, eventually got fed up with me switching hobbies every few years and told me to pick one thing and stick with it. After racking my brain for couple days, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to give programming a serious shot. My rationale was that, since I knew how to draw and make assets already, If I just learned how to program, I can make apps all by myself. After about two failed attempts and a lot of encouragement from my developer friends. I fell in love with coding and developing apps. I simply couldn't get enough of it. I remember rushing home from work just so I can do more Hackerrank problems or working on a todo app for the umpteenth time. After I released my first game to the app store, a simple clone of flappy bird re-themed to a space ship dodging meteors, I knew programming was something I was passionate about. My friends were probably pretty annoyed at me by then, because all I wanted to do was talk about tech and ask them about simple programming concepts. What the hell is REST? and who is resting? Noob questions for days. Looking back, I'm very fond of these memories. Eventually, I came to a fork in the road. Stay at my current job, or pursue this new found passion of mine. It was tough, I had just gotten married and telling my newly wed wife that I was going to quit my job was the last thing I wanted to do. Surprisingly she was very supportive and said this Not many people get to do what they are passionate about for their living. Go for it babe. She is pretty amazing and I'm lucky to have her as my wife. :) I'm working as a software engineer at Capital One and I'm loving every minute of it. In summary, I understand that not everyone is in a position to just quit their job and chase after something they are passionate about. It's definitely an extreme thing to do. The only thing I can say is that the pain and hard times chasing after something you are passionate about is worth it. Thanks for reading this little shindig of mine. One of my goals for the next year is to recreate my entire bootcamp content on youtube for free. Also I'm hoping to journal more about my experiences, programming, reviews of software classes I took and many more Link to my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiZotp9tZ4uXgXEjHDUYzBQ/playlists?view_as=subscriber Link to the github org for challenges: https://github.com/SoulEncoded [link] [comments]  |
| I want to make a mobile app for a website? What do I need to look at to get started? Posted: 27 Nov 2017 11:15 PM PST There were reddit apps long before the official one was released, therefore I know it can be done. I'm not looking to make another reddit app, just one for another social media that does not have one. Although there is a mobile site, it's piss poor and sucks. I'm working with iOS. Although, I could use tips for Android since I want to delve in Java in the future. [link] [comments]  |
| How to automate login on automated logout website? Posted: 27 Nov 2017 11:12 PM PST Hi everyone. I am beginner in programming here. My university student portal always close sessions after few minutes of login. Is there any way to keep permanent login session so I dont need to login everytime I want to use the website? I know this is archievable by using browser plugins, but if I am going to implement this in c# project, is there any way to do it? [link] [comments]  |
| [C] How to know when to use a double vs float or a long vs int? Posted: 27 Nov 2017 11:10 PM PST Sorry if this seems like a basic question, but I've been learning C over the past several weeks. In some of the tutorials I've been using, I've noticed some of the instructors just use int/float while others tend to default to double when declaring floating point variables. Is there any sort of best practice in terms of deciding what size variable to use? [link] [comments]  |
| What tools should I be using to build my backend efficiently? Posted: 27 Nov 2017 10:44 PM PST I just finished up my first project that used a local application as well as a Python Flask backend. I enjoyed the process overall but struggled with debugging on the server. I was using an FTP-client (FileZilla) to edit files locally and then saving them and transferring the back to the server, then restarting Apache and being able to make requests with the new code. This was quite a long process for small code updates. The biggest problem, however, was debugging. I would have to go to my Apache logs every time I got a Python error which involved downloading the error file, finding the line where the code crashed, updating the code and transferring the updated code back to the server with the process described above and then re-downloading the error file if it crashed again and repeating. You get the idea. This was incredibly tedious and annoying. Can someone please recommend a better system to me for updating and debugging code on the server or is this just what backend developers have to deal with? Thanks in advance for any help.

| Looking into an exe file? [NSFW] Posted: 27 Nov 2017 10:43 PM PST hello r/learnprogramming, [tl;dr: is there a way to "see into" an exe file? To look at all the various things (load screen messages, audio files, etc.) it has available to display? Sorry if my terminology is rough.] I'll just get right to it. I have this program called "Art of Self Spanking." I'm sure some of you have heard of it. Basically based on things you input (number/type of implements, desired severity, etc), the program will assign you a spanking to give yourself. I'm most interested in what the program calls "random interruptions"--additional tasks you have to do like strip or say something out loud. During the spanking, there's a little animated head-figure that uses the computer voice to speak to you. It counts out loud and actually tells you the things you're supposed to do. Not exactly convincing but good enough. Anyway, my programming question is, is there any way for me to access the database the program draws all these phrases/tasks from? It would be good enough for me to just see them, but if there was a way to actually edit/add my own that would be even better. I only have the program as an exe file, and from the research I have done that won't get me much. My hopes aren't too high, but maybe the kind programmers of r/learnprogramming will help me find a way to combine my passion for weird solo kinks with my aspiration to learn more about computers. In the meantime, I'll be in my room... with the door locked... listening to very loud music... [link] [comments]  |
| [Java] Coloring US States with no adjacent colors using the least amount of colors. Posted: 27 Nov 2017 06:00 PM PST The question prompt for my hw is: Map coloring (Create a map where no bordering states/countries share the same color. Find the minimum colors required to make this possible.) After a bit of research i found this post from 5 years ago, sadly I do not understand any of those languages. https://www.reddit.com/r/dailyprogrammer/comments/yj38u/8202012_challenge_89_difficult_coloring_the/ I am working on the algorithm to find the minimum colors and assigning them. The problem I have is GUI, I need to create a GUI with java to display the US map and different colors. I am trying to use java swing but having troubles. I do not know how to shape the states and fill them. The post i linked above uses an .svg image. How do i use that in java? I mostly need help for the GUI but if anyone has seen a completed project I would like to take a look. Thank you, [link] [comments]  |
| I want to know much more about app security on both the client and server sides Posted: 27 Nov 2017 12:55 PM PST For background: while this is a platform-agnostic question, my focus is on mobile development (iOS, specifically). I'm almost out of uni, and while a few of my classes have touched on computer security, these courses mostly concerned secure programming (not writing integer/buffer overflow vulnerabilities, hashing vs encryption, etc). I absolutely would not know enough to build an app that meets security standards. In particular, I feel clueless in regards to keeping user files secure when they are stored on a server and shared only to specific clients (perhaps to the owner alone). For instance, how does an app like Instagram or Snapchat host large amounts of user files where only certain clients can access each photo/message? What sorts of things need to be in place (code-wise as well as architecturally) to prevent an attacker from contriving a malicious API call or otherwise navigating to a resource that should not be viewable? I have a vague understanding of things like session tokens and ACLs, but I feel clueless in regards to how they're actually implemented. Finally, as an aside, when should developers pursue building a custom backend vs using something like Firebase or Parse Server? Does the premise of battle-tested security outweigh the inflexibility in the structure/flow of the backend? I realize this is an incredibly broad question; I would greatly appreciate being pointed to any comprehensive resources that can help improve my understanding. [link] [comments]  |

| Cassandra, how is the example keyspace non-relational? Posted: 27 Nov 2017 08:59 PM PST Hi, I'm new to Cassandra and databases in general. I'm reading out of this book and it creates a example keyspace for a blogging website that allows users to create blogs. In this keyspace, one of the tables is "blogs (id uuid PRIMARY KEY, blog_name varchar ...)" and so on. Then another table is "posts (id timeuuid, blog_id uuid, posted_on timestamp...)" and so on. Now I think I might just be thinking of it from a wrong perspective but in the posts table, there is a blog_id that is relating the posts to the different blogs they come from. How does this work with the fact that Cassandra is a non-relational database? I don't think I'm grasping this concept correctly. [link] [comments]  |

| [Python] Generate Random Sentences Posted: 27 Nov 2017 07:27 PM PST Hello I am fairly new to Python and this is my first time in this subreddit. I am currently stuck on this homework assignment. Essentially i was given 5 files and i am supposed to generate random sentences based on the formula "Sentences = subject + verb + preposition + articles + noun" and the amount that the user asks to be generated. The files are named after their respective part in the formula. I know i am supposed to open the files, read them and etc... also use lists and dictionaries. I am not looking for someone to give me a solution, i just need someone to point me in the right direction so to speak. I wish i could post my code so far but i cannot figure out how to since i am fairly new to Reddit itself. [link] [comments]  |
