    I'd like to help a few new programmers who are looking for help

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 09:10 AM PST

    edit: This was more popular that we thought it would be! We've reached out to the people we can help now. But you'll all be our list so we can help you in the future.

    Hi, I'm Corey. I've been programing for 15 years and want to make it easier for beginners to build cool stuff with code. I'm building a tool for this and am looking for a few novice programmers who would like to try it out. If you meet these requirements let me know and I'll get in touch...

    1. You are new to programing.
    2. You want to learn JavaScript (or you don't care which language is used.)
    3. You are interested in using the p5js library. (no experience with p5js is necessary)
    4. You are available for an hour of pair programing/tutoring a week.
    5. This isn't a requirement, but if you are an underrepresented group in tech let us know. We want to make sure our tool is welcoming and helpful for everyone.

    If this matches your description let me know!

    What is thread-safety?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 05:59 PM PST

    I've been researching what programming language I should use and I found Rust. On their website they said their langauge is 'Thread saftey.' I've tried researching what it means but all the websites definition is too technical for my understanding. What does that mean and why is important to have thread-saftey? Explain in laymans term please. Thank you.

    The java JAR file could not be launched.

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 10:03 PM PST

    Does anyone know how to fix this? I created a JAR for my program so I can just double click it and open it instead of opening it from terminal, but It won't work. Also if you have a different method you use to create a physical executable program for java pleaseee lmk.

    Your Opinion on Learning Resources

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 11:06 AM PST

    Hi all, just seeking some opinions on what you look for in online learning resources, such as Code Academy, Udacity, even Youtube.

    What are some things you love, things you hate, and things you wish existed but don't.

    I'll start with a few of my own:

    Udemy:

    • Pros: Easy to sample a class, well-structured, easy to get a refund, I love a good "video learning" platform.
    • Cons: Since anyone can make a course, the quality of courses varies dramatically. Quality courses almost always cost a minimum of $10, so this is usually a last-resort.

    Udacity:

    • Pros: They have some of the best free courses I've taken on topics like Linux, the command line, virtual machines, and networking.
    • Cons: Not all of the courses are great and some are flat-out terrible; the overall interface and design of the platform is pretty bad, they put fancy design over usability and the site suffers as a result. They also don't seem to update their content, so a lot of their videos are becoming outdated. No thanks, I don't want to learn Python 2 in 2018.

    Khan Academy:

    • Pros: For learning basic academic subjects like math and physics, no other site even comes close. I love that you can just keep taking the "Mastery Challenge" and it will continue to feed in new information, making it insanely easy to make huge chunks of progress without worrying that you're missing any material. It's also totally free!
    • Cons: Only good for a few basic subjects; there are much better options for learning computer science.

    EdX and Coursera (lumped together due to similarity):

    • Pros: Take actual college courses online for free!
    • Cons: The interface and overall organization of each site leaves a bit to be desired; it can be difficult to find and keep track of your courses, especially if you've signed up for more than a few.

    Things I wish I could find, but can't:

    • A site to learn team-based skills, like contributing to open-source projects and working with a team remotely.
    • Most programming resources I've come across leave you alone after teaching you the fundamentals (loops, control statements, data types, etc). Let's call that "stage 1" and let's call getting a job "stage 3". I wish there were more resources on "stage 2"; all of the stuff you need to know to actually write useful programs with the information you learned in Stage 1.
    • I'd love a good resource on APIs and working with modules and other programs. Like if I want to write a Python script to automate some audio editing task in Audacity. Udemy has a good course on automating Blender with Python; I'd love to see more stuff like that with other programs and languages.

    Phew, that's all I've got for now. I look forward to hearing your opinions!

    I want to build an interactive world map app.

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 08:46 PM PST

    Hello everyone.

    First off, I just want to say that I am new to this subreddit, but not the idea of programming. I'm not a professional, but I am a decent tinkerer. I am here because I would like your help/guidance/recommendations.

    Background of my reason to post: I travel A LOT nationally and internationally with my job and I want an interactive and visually pleasing way of tracking where all I've been and will be going throughout my travels. When I do fly, I normally add 20+ hours in the sky which is plenty of free time to work on this project.

    What I want to create is an interactive and visually pleasing way to keep track of point A to point B on a globe. Except, as time progresses, there will be A LOT of "point A to Point Bs".

    Similar to this crudely drawn image: https://imgur.com/a/03GjE

    I don't want to just "pin" cities I have been to, I want the globe to draw out my direction of travel from City A to City B. I have the idea of the app pictured perfectly so I am willing to provide more information upon questions asked. I just need from you guys and girls to assist me with a few questions I have.

    1. Which would be a better "Data is beautiful" platform? An app or web based?

    2. The device I would want to view this on often is my iPhone, however, upon a few moments of research, swift development is pretty much little possibility on Windows 10. (Correct me if I am wrong)

    3. Once I get the platform, which programming language would be most friendly to import data into the interactive globe? (I input data of City A and City B into table and then the globe draws out the line from city to city like in example

    4. How would I get a database of cities and their geographically correct locations onto the globe? (Like Google Maps)

    I am not asking anyone to build this app for me, I just want some helpful guidance since it will be my first project with beginner knowledge of programming and this will be all self taught.

    Tldr: I need help building a "Data is beautiful" app to help me keep track and visually display my travel patterns.

    Is it wise to create a set and a list with the same values?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 08:08 PM PST

    I'm creating a hangman game, and I want to be able to display a list of letters already guessed. I also want to be able to quickly search this list to see if the user is guessing a duplicate. Would it be wise to make a list for displaying and a set for checking duplicates? If not, what's a better method?

    Is it worth to learn through freeCodeCamp?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 01:43 AM PST

    I like JS a lot, at this moment it is only my hobby, in the future I would like to work as a programmer.

    Is it worth to learn with freeCodeCamp? There are some better alternatives?

    [Homework] [Java] A way to prevent "inheritance" of an interface?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 11:01 PM PST

    I have a parent class that implements an array of constants. There are three child class that extend the parent. Is there a hackish way to prevent the constants from being interacted/inherited by the child class?

    Its not a good way to do this but its for a small challenge in an assignment.

    How did you pass from learning the fundamentals of a lenguage to actually doing something?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 04:53 PM PST

    I've realized that almost every person that learns programing goes through a phase, when you are stuck with all the information you took from some courses, but you don't know what to do with it. I read that someone said it was like having 3 steps, where step 1 would be learning a lenguage, and step 3 would be getting a job. There is not much information on the internet about what step 2 would be. I don't mean only about people that learn to get a job, also for the ones that learn to do cool apps and stuff. My question would be: How did you overcome that phase? I would like some to know some personal experienses or take some advice on this.

    How come some website have strange raw html source code?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 07:03 PM PST

    Want to do some web scraping and encounter some stuff I don't get.

    For example I go on indeed and go to a page for searching for jobs. If I view the source, it looks more or less like a regular html file that I can use a library like Beautiful soup to parse what I want pretty easily.

    Then there's sites like linkedin where if I go on the jobs page, if I view the source it's a lot of junk that looks nothing like the html when I inspect it in dev mode from the browser. The source html have just a lot of long text and a ton of <code> tags that hardly resemble the html being displayed.

    My question is....

    1) Is this because a bunch of javascript gets ran on the junk looking html source code and then we get the final html document that my browser actually sees?

    2) Why do websites like linkedin do this?

    Would an '80s PC be a good way to learn programming?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 03:12 PM PST

    After looking around a bit I wonder if learning to program on an old computer like a VIC-20 would make any sense. My reasoning is that it would be easier to get "under the hood" and to figure out all the low level stuff then a new machine.

    Blogging platforms for programmers?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 10:42 PM PST

    I have experience in HTML,CSS, and NodeJS from a lot of my projects in college. I want to create a blog (not about programming) and would like to be able to modify the markup and or any scripts. I'm also very open to learning new languages and platforms in the process (Ruby, Bootstrap,React, etc) .

    I'd appreciate any suggestions you have for me.

    ML preferences to teach program to play Tic-Tac-Toe?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 04:07 PM PST

    Which type of machine learning algorithm is the easiest to implement if I wanted my program to learn how to play a game such as Tic-Tac-Toe?

    I've (lightly) researched Q-learning, genetic algorithms, and NN stuff, but it's still a little beyond me and I want to get this project going.

    Learn Javascript By Creating A Library For A Deck Of Cards

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 06:08 PM PST

    How do you go from knowing how to code to building a project?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 07:06 AM PST

    My whole life I've kept learning new and new programming languages. By now, I know C, C++, Matlab, Python, Java, SQL and a few others like verilog and similar stuff moderately well. That is to say that if you give me a problem a bit harder than the average I can solve it in any of these languages assuming it can be.

    My problem is projects. How do you jump from knowing how to code any basic to hard algorhitm to actually building a project. Whenever I think I know Java, I wanna start a project and I realise I need to know so many classes and dependencies and little tricks that I don't even know where to start?

    Picking up modern languages like javascript, python, etc after completing SICP

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 09:30 PM PST

    I am about to start my journey of reading and completing SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs). I was wondering how easy it is to pick up modern languages after having digested SICP. Maybe I want to do some web stuff or mobile stuff or even some machine learning. Some experience stories will help a lot.

    Thank you!!

    MongoDB or PostgreSql

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 09:21 PM PST

    Hi. I'm building a clone of facebook's event feature.

    1. Users have a friends list and can make groups.

    2. Users can invite each other or a group to any event.

    3. Each event has some additional data like event pic, description, who else is coming etc.

    4. Users can post pictures on their profile linking to an event.

    I have previous experience in MongoDB but I've been told PostgreSql is a better choice for it. Can anybody provide a link or any advice about what are the possible tradeoffs between using one of the two? Thanks.

    DB2 Error, need help finding it!

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 09:08 PM PST

    I am currently working on an application previously setup by some former devs for a small company. When checking the response object after making a PUT request I receive this error:

    SQLSTATE=42601 SQLCODE=-104 Token , was not valid.

    I am assuming this means there is a "," somewhere that it doesn't belong, but I can't seem to find it.

    Here is the query:

    update @lib3.usermst set usfirstn = upper('@firstnm'), usmidint = upper('@mi'), uslastn = upper('@lastnm'), usbusnam = upper('@busnm'), usaddr1 = upper('@addr1'), usaddr2 = upper('@addr2'), usaddr3 = upper('@addr3'), uscity = upper('@city'), usstate = upper('@state'), uszip = @zip, uszipext = @zipExt, usphone1 = @phone1, usphntyp1 = substr('@phoneType1', 1, 1), usphone2 = @phone2, usphntyp2 = substr('@phoneType2', 1, 1), usphone3 = @phone3, usphntyp3 = substr('@phoneType3', 1, 1), usemail = upper('@email'), usqrecid1 = @qrecid1, usanswer1 = upper('@ans1'), usqrecid2 = @qrecid2, usanswer2 = upper('@ans2'), usqrecid3 = @qrecid3, usanswer3 = upper('@ans3'), uschgdat = Current Date, uschgtim = Current Time, uschgusr = upper('@userId') where usrecid = @clientId 

    Am I on the right track, or am I completely off?

    [homework] How do I change the size of an array inside a void function?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2018 05:06 PM PST

    I may have butchered that title so hopefully I can make my question more clear. If I have a void function with one parameter, a char array, then how would I change the size? For example if I passed "John Doe" into the function but I wanted to change that array to "John". Also I'm trying to do this in c++.
