How can I start contributing to GitHub projects as a beginner? Posted: 04 Dec 2017 11:15 AM PST So I have a few semesters of school left and am looking to get some actual coding experience outside my school assignments. I have done a couple projects using github for school, but they really only covered the basics (commits, version control, etc.). Is there any resources or tutorials out there that show how to find projects that are beginner friendly, and the proper way to commit code to them? [link] [comments] |
To self taught developers: What is your strategy for learning data structures and algorithms? Posted: 04 Dec 2017 07:36 PM PST Hello all. I've been trying to study for a front end developer path since early 2016(currently an English teacher in South Korea.) What is your strategy for studying the data structures and algorithms that many companies seem to interview for? I'm currently reading the Cracking the Coding Interview book, and it's pretty eye opening. Is there a plan that you've seen that has worked for self-taught developers? I saw that Coursera has a data structures / algorithms specialization, but I'm a little intimidated by it because of the math induction requirement(I'm not strong in math.) My thought is to list out all the ds / algos, study them via random resources I find on google, and then try to reinforce them with HackerRank challenges since they seem to have specific categories for data structures / algorithms. What do you think? [link] [comments] |
How can I scrape information from a list of web pages that all have similar structure? Posted: 04 Dec 2017 10:07 PM PST I have a series of 179 webpages in an array: etc... I would like to scrape each one for information in the table, for instance, the amount of RAM. Using JavaScript to select the strings I need on the page will not be a problem. But how do I get all 179 pieces of data in a workable format that I can easily add to a spreadsheet? My plan after I figure this out would be to rerun the program for every piece of data I want (RAM, release date, etc...) but if you have a better suggestion, please let me know. [link] [comments] |
[C++]How can I get better at making Classes? Posted: 04 Dec 2017 07:22 PM PST TLDR: I have no problem reading or using classes others have made, but I have a hard time creating my own from scratch. How can I improve? Im a senior in university and I would say im pretty good at C++ compared to my classmates when it comes to writing a program for projects but I have one weak point and I dont know how to improve on it. Im pretty weak at writing my own classes from scratch. If im given code with classes already in it, or with classes started I have no problem reading/using them. But whenever I write code 100% from scratch I just default to structs/functions. Are there any tips that I could use to get more used to making my own classes? [link] [comments] |
I'm a complete beginner and i want to learn programming. Posted: 04 Dec 2017 03:24 PM PST I know this has probably posted ad nauseam in this subreddit. I'm 25 years old and my interest in programming has peaked as of late, which mostly comes from gaming but I also have ideas for computer projects. I know it's better to get in with an idea of what to do to start, but i want to learn both for fun and to figure out what i wish to figure out what interests me in the world of programming. I thought about starting with Visual Basic.NET 2017 since I figure it would be most useful for Windows and read that it's simple to learn. But like most everyone who makes these posts, I barely know where to begin and how to go about coding (any info for VB.NET tutorials would be cool). What should i do to get in the mindset of a programmer and how should i approach this? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 04 Dec 2017 12:05 PM PST I'm really into computer science and will start my course next semester. My question is, how are mods made?
Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
Posted: 04 Dec 2017 02:10 PM PST Hi everyone, i'm looking for some good programming podcasts. My favourite language is NodeJS, and i'd like to know more either about this language or about programming world (AI, which languages are the most used, ect..) It would be better if some of them doesn't require me to look at the screen, but it is not mandatory. Thank you for reading :) [link] [comments] |
What am I not understanding here regarding the && operator? [Unity] [C#] Posted: 04 Dec 2017 11:12 PM PST According to Microsoft's documentation, the && operator has a 'short circuit' type of condition checking wherein if an earlier condition returns false, it doesn't continue checking the remaining conditions. So for example; If x returns false, y doesn't even get assessed since the outcome will be the same. Sounds great! Especially in games development, since checking certain conditions can be CPU-intensive. The problem I'm having is perhaps specific to Unity since I'm aware they sort of maintain their own version of C#/JS/etc. But this is basically what I've got so far: Let's say that x, y and z should all return false. I'm getting an error wherein it basically says it doesn't know what z is, and thus it appropriately freaks out. That's fine and understandable given the situation, because z should only be what we're expecting assuming that x and y are true in the first place, hence the && operators. So my question is, why does it even try and assess z when it's meant to drop-out early since x and y aren't true? Does Unity c# not do the whole short-circuit condition checking thing? Am I missing something? Does it not work if the bool is returned from a function in the way that I'm doing? [link] [comments] |
Know how concepts works but then get lost Posted: 04 Dec 2017 11:05 PM PST I think this has been mentioned before but while studying programming I can't get over a mental block. Like for example I could know what a while loop does and what an array does but if you told me to print out the sum of all items in an array I find out I still need google to help. I've only been learning for a week( I tried learning to program before but I quit) But I want to know if this block goes away with enough practice [link] [comments] |
Making a website scanner that will email me. Posted: 04 Dec 2017 10:37 PM PST Hi everyone, I'm really stuck on where to even start. I want to make a program that will email me when a new listing (that meets certain criteria) appears on a website. Any info would be much appreciated! [link] [comments] |
Reached a state upon where I don't know where to move on further Posted: 04 Dec 2017 03:56 PM PST Hello. I am new here and I hope I can write about this in this subreddit. This might be a bit long, but it's quite necessary in order for me to show you how I'm stuck without knowing what to do. I'm into programming, I know lots of basic stuff already like how computers work, what's binary/hex/octal/etc, I know at least 10 programming languages (to mention them by name, not to code in them), I know the differences between those languages. Since summer I've been in state of depression regarding programming; I literally didn't continue nor I learned any of languages for the whole 6 months from summer up to until now. I simply lost all of motivation for some reason. I'm fluent in Lua, I know the basics of C, C++, I know SQL, I forgot Python, and I can do stuff in Javascript/CSS/HTML/PHP with some googling (not really fluent though, but with googling i can achieve results). This might sound like an insane idea (because it is since im unskilled) but I've been trying to find a way in order to manipulate GTA 5 Singleplayer from my external C++ program. I've tried various of stuff, not much results, I managed to inject a dll into it but what's the point of that since I don't know how to trigger any functions from my dll to game. Then I've realized that in order to even get anywhere with this goal of mine I would need to learn reverse engineering, and in order to do that, I would need to know stuff like which memory addresses are static, how they operate, how to do stuff on them in C++ and so on, and in order to do all of this (including reverse engineering) I need to learn Assembly. So basically most of my goals seem to be too high for me, I was very well aware of that, but I thought i could at least do a little part of it, and keep doing little parts until it turns into something, but whenever I'd go to do something in any project, it would just require me to have more knowledge of something else beforehand to do this project. It sucks. So I went simpler. A Music Player. It should consist of a window, some buttons and click handlers. I got to the part of creating window, and that's it. GUI Problems. I could have made buttons with Windows Form thingy, but that's really ugly. I wanted to make my own buttons, in my way I'd draw a rectangle, and a text over it, and it'd be a button. But even to draw a text or a rectangle was a huge issue for me, and everywhere I looked, the code to do that was too complex. Like to draw a text once I had to have a 50 line function..like wtf. Then I ran into stuff like Qt, but even though that would probably give me results, it's again causing a problem: I'd need to spend months learning it, and besides I'd like to make a GUI myself, I could have some other framework which just gives me ability to draw rectangles and text and images and lines, and I'd be good to go, but it was never that simple. Now this was mostly about C++. C++ even though I find it hard as f... it has best performance and it's always calling back to me because of that. Probably languages such as Python would be much more offering with libraries and stuff like GUI, but what kinda distracts me from other languages than C++ is the fact that they'll never be as fast as C++. There's a possible solution to my C++ GUI problem, by using CEF. However I have no idea how to integrate it and use it. This is a bit long, I'll just mention some other languages and add a comment what i think about them. Assembly - hard af but could help in future to understand memory and to reverse engineer, but still it requires lot of time for me to sacrifice in order to learn it Java - while it's most popular or demanded language, I don't really know what's all the fuss about. I know it's cross platform, and I'm not offending the language, I just don't know what are it's extents, and does it compile to .jar or .exe? if .jar then how do i run it? etc questions Python - simple and great language, however compared to other languages, it lacks performance, and it's not really attractive to me. HTML/CSS/Javascript/NodeJS/PHP/SQL - most of these are used for web development, while they are nice and easy to code, I'm not interested into making websites. C# - powerful language, similar to java syntax/style, used for scripting i think and little bit easier than C++, but I'm still trying to find a point of it what I could do with it Dunno if I left out any other language but this is basically it regarding languages. I'm feeling sad because other languages aren't as fast as C++ is, and I can do basically nothing with C++ because in order to even do something simple as draw a text, I need to use a whole huge library for that and spend next few months learning that library just to understand the code why it's written like that in order to e.g draw a text. I can do console programs in C++ but that's boring af. In the end, I'm not sure anymore if I'm underestimating other languages way too much, and if I've forgotten the fact that in order to learn something it always does take at least couple of months to do so. But even so, it makes me sad that even to do something just as simple as a Music Player, that I have to spend learning something else (e.g framework) for a few months before I can even make Music Player. I lose motivation to make Music Player by then. Sorry guys for this really long post, I just don't know what to do, what to think, what to learn... all I wanted originally is to e.g set money to a certain value in GTA 5 just from my C++ code by editing memory,... But meh, all I want to start is too hard and I'm stuck to boring exercises. Thank you guys for reading, I apologize once more for a such long post, I just don't know what to do. [link] [comments] |
How can I automate my use of another computer program using Python? Posted: 04 Dec 2017 03:47 PM PST Hello everyone, A short while ago I wrote a script that automated some boring work for me. The script read an Excel file and then sanitized and formatted the data so that it could be loaded into a program we were testing. It was super helpful and helped me avoid hours of tedious copy and pasting. I was proud of my work but I always wondered if I could have gone a step further and automated the process of loading the file and maybe even interpreting the results. I have no idea where to start though. The program I would like to interact with has a GUI with a menu bar and drop-down menus. To run the program I would have to select things from drop-down boxes and click some buttons. The program was created by my company (so tailored packages are non-existent) and in Java. We use Windows. With just Python, would it be possible to write a script to do something like this? [link] [comments] |

Proper path to learn blockchain programming as a complete beginner? Posted: 04 Dec 2017 05:48 PM PST Hey all, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I'm really interested in blockchain development and decentralized platforms. I've done a little reading on how they work, but I have no idea what the best course of action is to learn how to work with the technology, or if I need to fully master a language before I can grasp this stuff. Thanks in advance everyone! [link] [comments] |
pyautogui click doesn't work in MSI Afterburner Posted: 04 Dec 2017 09:28 PM PST I'm trying to automate the opening of MSI Afterburner and have it change to a different profile but pyautogui won't click on the msi afterburner window. I don't know why but it doesn't work. The click function works in another part of the code but I have it disabled so for testing purposes. Here is my code: [link] [comments] |
Posted: 04 Dec 2017 09:27 PM PST I understand a significant amount or Python and Java. There's concepts I don't understand, but for the most part it makes sense. Yet, when it comes to css I have no fucking clue what I'm doing. Sometimes I do something and it works, the next time I do it, it doesn't work. I know that it clearly is just mistakes I'm making, but I wish to be able to code up a decent website. I hate struggling with basic issues like positioning elements. Is there some sort of cheatsheet that makes display, position, and positioning all make sense? I have followed plenty of guides: pluralsight, udemy, w3, codeacademy, etc. While I do learn something, it's never a valid solution. Am I just not using the right resources or am I just a complete monkey? [link] [comments] |
[Question] How do I save high scores from every user on Android? Posted: 04 Dec 2017 09:20 PM PST I'm learning android development and need to be able to save scores from different users.

How should I design a tablecloth lending database in Microsoft SQL Server? Posted: 04 Dec 2017 03:02 PM PST So I have to make a database for lending out tablecloths for a class project, can help me with the table structure? I'm just not quite sure how I want to make the tables. I already have color and type tables (ie circle or rectangle shaped), should I make a reference table or just make them foreign keys in the product table? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 04 Dec 2017 03:00 PM PST At the moment Im a little bit young and with no budget to take university or anything like that, but almost all my life i always wanted to learn how to break through stuff in order to know if it could be broke or if it could get stronger. I really want to start now getting knowledge and learn stuff about cybersecurity,programming and in special pentesting. There is so many information on the imternet that i get confused where to start... I would be glad if someone with experience in cybersecurity could give some advise! Sorry for bad grammar, english isnt my main language. [link] [comments] |

Feeling negative when I am planning on learning to program. Posted: 04 Dec 2017 11:09 AM PST Hi, my name is Joe and I am 15 years old. My question is, how can I prevent feeling negative every time I want to learn to program? For about 2 years now I have been wanting to learn how to program. Their has been times in this 2 years we're I have been learning python on codecademy, I get fairly far in to the course and enjoy most of it. My issue is though when I get stuck on a question or course I just tell my self I am too dumb for programming, theirs no point my trying and I just get really intimidated by it. After feeling like this for a week or two I stop learning and trying, I just give up. I'll not learn to program for around 2 months and then I'll get some motivation and try and learn again. This just goes in a loop. Is their a way I can prevent this or am I just too dumb for programming? I have heard by a couple of people that you have either got the skill or you haven't, if that makes sense. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just don't know what to do. [link] [comments] |
[python] Beginner code problem Posted: 04 Dec 2017 08:42 PM PST I am learning how to use functions. I am writing a program to calculate pay for workers including overtime. When I input numbers that trigger the if/then scenario for overtime pay (hours are over 40) the program works great, but if the hours inputted are below 40 then the program returns "None" instead of doing an easy multiplication. I've provided screenshots below. [link] [comments] |
Best book on C++ for a beginner? Posted: 04 Dec 2017 07:54 PM PST Hi, I recently got into C++ after learning that it suits my needs better than any other languages. I have learned Python before and am fluent in it. I also learn C# for a short period of time. Which book do you recommend to someone who is starting out learning C++, and also helpful for an expert?
