    Next step after Colt Steele's WebDevBootcamp

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 06:20 PM PST

    As I mentioned in another post, I'm on a journey to be my first Junior Job in the area , coming from a different area (Marketing/Finance). I just finished Colt's course , liked it very much and I believe that I was able to get through it pretty well with a good understanding of the concepts . Id like to get some thoughts on what to do next in terms of courses / projects or practices in order to build my portfolio and sharpen my skills to start applying for junior positions. Thanks!

    Interested in developing cryptocurrency and blockchain related apps

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 08:57 PM PST

    Hey Guys. So I went to an cryptocurrency event tonight and I'm interested in developing applications towards blockchain.

    First. One application I'm interested in is a cryptocurrency price tracker. Probably a mobile application for just tracking prices, and alerts when certain cryptocurrencies rise or dip below a certain threshold. Not sure what else to add. Do you know any helpful api's for this. I am interested in Web frameworks as well.

    Secondly, what other related projects have you worked on that involved cryptocurrency or blockchain and what Open Source technologies did you use to achieve this? I'm interested in building a nice portfolio.

    How to Perform a Deep Copy? (C++)

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 09:07 PM PST

    I'm attempting to perform a deep copy in a copy constructor. There is a member variable that is a pointer to an object. In order to perform a deep copy in the copy constructor, I need to create a new copy of that object. Thing is, I don't have access to the necessary variables to initialize the object. I'm guessing I should avoid the assignment operator/ copy constructor and only use the move constructor?

    Here's an example:

    class A { public: A() : ptr(nullptr) {} A(const B &other) { ptr = new B(*need para*); // issue here} private: B* ptr; } class B { public: B() : important() { // Error initializing } B(C important) { // initialize stuff with important} private: .... }

    Which programming language could I use for dynamic GUI creation?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 10:45 PM PST

    I want to create an application to schedule tasks, with dynamic GUI where i can create elements, drag and drop them, shuffle and create rows and columns within table, so that it will be very flexible. Ideally I would like to be able to print out my designed schedule.

    Very similar behavior to my needs has an existing web based app - Shotgun software, where I can create color blocks and move/drag/stretch them around. http://c767204.r4.cf2.rackcdn.com/b23aaca6-2ad9-4a38-ab25-91232163f9f8.jpg

    I am familiar with python and basic QT but I could not find any elegant QT examples/solutions that would not require custom widges creation. (There are examples of dynamic tables or movable objects but they have to exist on its own, separate qt Window) Preferably I would like to avoid learning new language like Java or PHP for such purpose (if possible). I have even tried mixing python with django/flask to create dynamic tables but even in those solutions I could not find drag/drop, drag, create, move possibilities. (http://examples.flask-admin.org/...)

    Is there any specific language or package that you would suggest?

    How did you guys begin to actually use what you learned when solving problems?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 12:18 PM PST

    I've been spending time trying to solve some simple programming problems, and I know I have the knowledge to solve them, I just can't ever seem to properly apply that knowledge.

    For example I was given the problem "Write a Python function to multiply all the numbers in a list." Which is super simple, but I couldn't do it without looking at the answer.

    I either vastly over-complicate the problem or completely ignore tools that would make it much easier. Is this a common problem for beginners or am I alone in this? What can I do to improve?

    Making an input permanently uppercase or lowercase in Python3.

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 06:08 PM PST

    I'm posting a super simple code to help explain. Now if I input something like 'hello', when I print(string), 'hello' will output, even though I typed string.upper(). But if I print(string.upper()) it'll output 'HELLO'. So is there a way I can permanently modify that input so I can just print the variable and my input be returned in upper case, instead of having to type print(variable.upper()) every time? I hope I worded that clearly enough. Thanks in advance!!

    string = input("Hello ")

    string.upper()

    print (string)

    Cant use the 'javac' command on files within my OneDrive folder for some reason

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 11:42 PM PST

    So I just learned to compile java programs and all that, but for some reason, when the java file is located within my OneDrive folder, I get the error message:

    javac: not a file: HelloWorld.java Usage: javac <options> <source files> use --help for a list of possible options

    If I do everything exactly the same, but instead have the file somewhere else, such as my desktop, it runs fine.

    My OneDrive folder is located at C:\Users\winte\OneDrive if that helps.

    bulk unsave/remove saved instagram photos?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 11:38 PM PST

    A variety of (identical) iOS apps - InstaClean, InstaCleaner, Mass Delete, etc. - exist that allow users to unfollow users, block followers, delete posts, and unlike posts in batches and in bulk. Anyone know if and how it'd be possible to also bulk unsave all the images a user has saved? Currently, saved photos can only be unsaved one at a time by clicking the bookmark save button on each individual photo. Presumably the method these apps use to bulk unlike photos could be modified to bulk unsave photos as well...?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 11:32 PM PST

    I am trying to develop an Email Retrieving Mini Project for my University project. So nothing really complicated. Essentially if someone can help me out with how I can go about this project with information such as the software etc.. that I will require and other relevant details. Below are some of the requirements for the project. 1. For the project demo I would like to be able to send an email and also be able to make edits to the email if once it is sent to the receiver, 2. How will I be able to provide restrictions (i.e : The recipient not allowing for an email to be recalled [or] not allowing edits to be made to the email, I am really looking forward to all the help that I can get. I really appreciate it...

    Watch Tutorials or just try to build something?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 03:28 PM PST

    Hello everyone. I have a question. Is it even worth continuing to watch tutorials, or is it better to just try to build something and just accept that you won't know how to easily do it and will struggle through it.

    I feel like I'm stuck in this loop where I keep finding tutorials on building cool things but I don't ever do anything for myself. Not only does this mean that I don't build my own stuff but also tend to forget what I learned in the videos anyway.

    Almost seems like the videos are hampering my progress but for some reason I just keep gravitating back to them.

    I want to learn but is my material still relevant?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 07:12 PM PST

    I have been putting off actually learning programming for sometime. My biggest issue was just deciding on a language and actually sticking with it.

    I have recently decided to stick with Javascript as a starting place (with an interest still in C#). Through my folks I have access to Lynda.com where there seems to be alot of content for Javascript, one including "The Foundations of Programming - by Simon Alldice" however this content is from 2011.

    I know the tech world is changing alot and languages evolve, I am simply curious if these training lessons are still good starting areas that can be used, or should I search for something more recent?

    Project File mapping?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 10:45 PM PST

    Hi /learnprogramming!

    I am currently about 75 PHP,CSS files and 10 mySQL tables deep into a web development project I have taken on. Currently in a "proof of concept" state. Right now, everything is stable, everything works! (Although my file structure is a disaster). The more little pieces of code I write; the more files I create, the more "includes()'s". Ugh. Finding which piece of the puzzle goes where gets more difficult the more I work on it. This issue hinders my efficiency greatly. I would like to create a sort-of 'filemap', listing the dependancies of each file. Once I have a resource to look back at I will update my file structure to be less hell-ish. I have done a little research but I cannot find a single other person that has executed such an idea. How would I go about creating such a thing? (preferably one that automatically adapts to change). If anybody has done something along these lines are there any resources I could use to help me along my way?

    TL;DR:

    Web development project. File structure disaster. Need to map all files, folders and their dependancies. How to?

    Addendum: I apologize if my writing isn't that clear, it's 1am and I've been sitting in front of a screen squashing bugs for hours.

    Thanks all!

    Where is a good place to start learning solidity?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 10:33 PM PST

    I've been trying to learn how to program solidity, however, I just can't find the right resource. The official docs are a bit confusing and other tutorials feels like the jump into the middle of the material. I've been programming python for four years and c++ for a few months (college).

    I don't know why it just doesn't click for me yet. Any links would be helpful.

    Looking for feed back on a project (Sorting Algorithms Visualized)

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 06:43 PM PST

    I am a student studying computer science, but I would still consider myself very new to programming. I created a small site that visualizes a few sorting algorithms with D3.js and a little bit of jQuery and I would like to hear anyone's feedback. Additionally, if anyone has any suggestions on how I could get this to run smoother, please let me know. Also, I recommend you view it on a desktop. Thanks!

    Learning App Development (Xamarin)

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 02:56 PM PST

    I'd like to learn C#, Visual Studio, .NET, and XAML, with the hopes of ultimately building a solid foundation for Xamarin. I tried using Xamarin before, and was really lost, and therefore really want to learn the above four. I was told earlier that it's possible to learn the first 3 together: can anybody point me to good sources and books to learn these from, and in what order should I learn/read each source?

    Memory Retention when programming

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 06:02 PM PST

    Hi everyone, I have a bit of a problem. I have trouble remembering how to write programs. I have written multiple programs in different languages that vary in size from 10 lines long up to around 1,000 lines. It used to come really easy to me. When I am given a programming problem now I just blank. I don't know what to do, how to start or even what the problem is. I'll look at the problem and say "wow this is pretty easy and figure out a solution" but when it comes to converting my solution into actual code now I am having severe difficult. I'm a senior CS major at my university at the moment. Has this happened to anyone before? Or is anyone able to offer some insight on what I can do to help my retention? I'm familiar with Java, C, and Python

    Majoring in Information Technology Management. Is it possible to minor in CS or to just go to CS in general.

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 09:46 PM PST

    I worry that in 10 years, I will be screwed if I have an IT degree over a CS degree. I like computers and business. When I say computers, I mean the tech side. It's not my passion, law is my passion but the job market is too bad.

    What do you guys think of ITM as a whole? Would it be helpful for me to get some coding classes in. Do I really need to pursue a degree in CS? School started today, I posted a thread earlier when I was in a sad mood. Should I meet with an advisor and ask to be switched to CS instead?

    The school I am going to ITM for if its worth mentioning is an accredited school one of the only 38/800 for ITM which is what the program directors told us.

    [image]Can someone explain why this quiz question returns what it does?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 03:46 PM PST

    I'm doing some quizzes and getting absolutely destroyed with the 'fundamentals' knowledge that I somehow have skipped in my self-taught journey. I'd love to know any resources where I could polish up on these knowledge holes but that's another matter.

    This question:

    Imgur

    I cannot figure out why it returns what it does. I'm not sure what to google either.
    Pop the snippet into your console to see what gets spit out for the answer, but I would have thought it would be 1,1

    Cheers!


    Edit: Here's the quizz, and here are the explanations

    What's the best way to deal with being overwhelmed by many new concepts?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2018 07:06 PM PST

    My College had a month-long strike and now we're cramming like no tomorrow.

    We went over OOP/ArrayLists/and JavaFX in a single class (today) and I have 4 finals in less than a week and a half.

    I'm pretty overwhelmed right now but I'm trying to fight through it.

    What's the best way to overcome this?

    Thanks!
