| Posted: 20 Apr 2018 09:56 AM PDT So I'm 30, almost 31, and I've been working service and retail jobs since I was 18, and I've never made more than 33k a year in my life, which will probably never change if I don't make the change, and fast. I've always had a natural inclination toward computers in general, and have spent a huge amount of my time alive in front of one. Every coding course I've taken I've loved and it felt natural to me, but I've lacked follow-through with it, usually due to my doubts of whether or not it'll ever become a marketable skill for me. First and foremost - The primary reason for my post and the reason I'm even asking everything I am; is coding/programming at that point yet where it's in much higher supply than demand? Am I going to put 2 years of work in to find out that there aren't job openings anymore because 880,000 kids straight out of high school ripped through the job market? Not to sound like I'm knocking them, more power to them. If I could go back, I'd do the same thing. I want to better myself and my situation. I can't keep living like I am, dreading waking up doing something I hate and that I know for a fact I can't grow in. I was not made for retail management, that much is for sure. What I'm here to find out is what is the language (or languages) I should be learning, and if I put in a lot of time and dedication, would it become a viable 50k a year career? Or something I can grow past that eventually? If it takes 2 years, I can put that time in. Anything to make life better for myself and my daughter, I just need something. I guess I could also tell you what I would prefer to work on.. Most of the development courses I've taken were for HTML5. I enjoy it and it all felt very natural to me, but I'm not sure if there's anything out there I'd like more or something that's in higher demand. I know HTML5 on its own won't cut it as well. My goal would ideally be to start as fast at something as possible, even a nightmare scenario would assuredly be better than what I've been up to for the last 12 years. Besides, when your foot is in the door it makes it much easier to grow and learn from there. Sorry for the rambling, and any incoherence I'm relaying if I am. I'm anxious and I've spent the last 28 minutes trying to figure out what to say and how to say it. P.S. This is a throwaway account. I feel ashamed for doing nothing with my life since high school so I'd prefer to keep this post as far away from my main account as I can. [link] [comments]  |
| Whats the best way to become very good at technical interviews? Posted: 20 Apr 2018 04:45 AM PDT I am looking for books, websites etc to improve myself in technical interviews. I am mostly interested in C++, OO design, Design patterns and everything that could be asked in those kind of job interviews. You can also include programming questions or bit manipulation questions.

| Copying a website making it responsive Posted: 20 Apr 2018 05:02 PM PDT Hi everyone, I'm a freshman CS student, more into software than web design, but some time ago I had the urge to learn Android development, I don't know, I just got really curious. I was leaning into gaming so I went on and gave it a little research and I figured I wasn't ready for it but I had an idea. There is this sports website me and a lot of people use here in Portugal that works awfully bad on mobile phones. I asked one of my teachers if it was easy or not to make an app with it and how it could be done. He said I could make the website responsive with bootstrap along with beautiful soup (to get the data to my duplication), we used bootstrap in the first semester. So my questions are:
Don't worry about copyrights or anything, I've got it all covered. Thank you in advance, this has been an amazing community. Even tho I don't actively participate in it too much, you guys have helped me a lot during this first college year. [link] [comments]  |

| What do 'content/data managers' do? Posted: 20 Apr 2018 07:00 PM PDT Oddly, I am starting my internship as one in 10 days despite being absolutely clueless about what they do. The specific title is ' Content/Data Manager '. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2018 10:09 PM PDT Hi, I want to start learning programming... I am a bit familiar with php and Wordpress but I want to learn coding mobile apps or web apps... I also want to learn a new skill like programming to evolve in my work (I am a first level help desk Analyst in IT). So I thought about learning Python... On the long run, I am looking to build somethings that are fun and if possible beautiful to see and use... I am desperately looking for examples of web apps, games or phone apps that are graphically interesting or beautiful and that are built with Phyton... I honestly have a hard time. Are you able to give me some examples? I just want to see the abilities of Python... I am not specially interested by 3D games but I just think that design is important to make an app or program attractive... What is your most important work? What are the limitations ? Should I consider other languages like C# instead? Is Python a good base to start? [link] [comments]  |
| How can I go about trying to better understand object-orientated programming concepts? Posted: 20 Apr 2018 10:06 PM PDT I am about to finish the final semester to graduate from community college with my AA in Information Technology, as a requirement I had to take an Intro to Programming course a year ago, where I learned python and basic logic like for loops, lists, and other basic syntax things. In my final semester for an elective I chose to take Java Programming, which intrigued me because of my love of Minecraft and it's 100% reliance on Java, a language that I heard is not great for game making. The class was relatively easy for me, Java worked a lot like python so a lot of stuff was familiar to me so the course was a breeze, except for a few chapters. I don't know if it's the course being poorly set up or what, but the course hardly at all taught object orientated concepts, and each of those chapters were highly frustrating and hair-pullingly difficult to get through. The first of which being classes, I could not grasp classes at all. I sort of understand them now, but I fail to see their use in practice, besides, I don't know, databases where you have a category of objects with similar characteristics or something. And then the rest of the course was just how to use arrays, loops, if-else/switch/while statements, and Strings. Now we are at the final two chapters, which we both are only going to be able to cover in two weeks, which is inheritance. I sort of understand WHAT it is (allowing a class to extend to a smaller allowing for sort of a copy of the class with additional fields), but I still fail to see it's practical usage. And then she rushed to the final chapter on advanced inheritance concepts talking about things like polymorphism and my mind is melting as I struggle to follow along. And after this, the class is over, and I feel so incomplete. I know there's far more to learn with this, but I won't be able to learn it. I don't know if I should waste my time and risk the debt of getting my Bachelor's in IT and end up not being confident/intelligent enough to find a career. But I still want to learn it, I don't know, programming has been this thing that's mystified me and I want so badly to learn it and be able to do things with it ever since I took those that first programming concepts class. Can anybody help me out here? [link] [comments]  |
| Best resources for learning database structuring/management for a production level application? Posted: 20 Apr 2018 09:51 PM PDT I'm a developer with a huge gap regarding databases. SQL is not my issue - in general, getting anything out of a database is probably not my main concern. I need to learn how you manage a development vs production database, how you migrate structure between those environments (right now I'm just keeping my commands in sublime and running them on the production one when the development one works), how to implement proper indexing (and when you need to), when/where to use stored procedures, how to update a live db, and probably a ton more that I don't know that I don't know. Many of these I realize are through experience only, and the rest are probably huge topics that require a course individually. But I'm hoping that I can get enough here to learn how to search for these topics on my own, because my vocabulary is extremely limited in these areas, and makes it tough to do in depth searches.

| What's your way of finding time to study while working full-time? Posted: 20 Apr 2018 07:41 AM PDT Hi, I've recently begun studying programming through some online sources but I'm struggling to find time and energy after work, especially since it is a stressful period right now with increased workload. I'm also trying to study for another certification to have a backup plan in my current work. So I was wondering - what's your way of finding spare time or even motivating yourself to make time to study? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2018 02:53 PM PDT I already have The C Programming Language and I'll be going through it. I'm quite confident of my ability to program in C. I don't have a super firm grasp of Pointers, Structures, or Linked Lists. In the past exams what prevented me from passing them was failing on the T/F questions or things asking if declaring a string after initialization is valid. It is a 3000 level university class. (Go Knights!). If I get less then 5 out of the 30 questions wrong I'll end up with A. So far in the past exams I've ended 7-9 wrong. Even despite getting perfect score on all programming assignments(albeit I do brute force my way through the assignment at times) I still fail to do well on small syntax features or rules of the language. I know theres something wrong in my approach to learning programming in an academic setting. I can't quite pinpoint the roadblock holding me back. If you have resources I would prefer videos as slugging through a textbook in 10 days does not seem like an optimal use of time. For others in my situation. tutorialspoint and this channel have been good for me so far: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFlzHaNC_YJTIRoXbx6zfrA/playlists Thanks for your help! Edit: I learned today that r/learnprogramming is a roast fest. [link] [comments]  |
| What are some suggestions for mathematically intensive projects to improve my Python skills? Posted: 20 Apr 2018 08:50 PM PDT I wish to leave the beginner stage of my Python skills, but I want to code things that are interesting to me, such as mathematical projects. Project Euler is too number theoretic, and I'm looking for something else. What are some interesting topics from linear algebra, real analysis, differential equations, numerical analysis, etc. that could lead to an interesting project of significant size? Any resources with suggested projects? My goal is to do interesting math alongside the programming. Some examples:
Of course, these are single tasks, so I'm looking for something more substantial/comprehensive in size. If anyone has any interesting assignments from applied math coursework they did, I'd appreciate that as well. [link] [comments]  |
| Issues trying to implement a move constructor and move assignment operator? (C++) Posted: 20 Apr 2018 08:49 PM PDT If I define a move constructor and a move assignment operator, I get an error saying that I'm referencing a deleted function, the regular assignment operator (T& operator=(const T& other)). I then tried to define the regular assignment operator and it told me I couldn't try defining an implicit function. I defined the move constructor for a class that was a private member of another class that I didn't define the move constructor for (which might be the issue). How do I properly implement a move constructor and move assignment operator? Should I define the move constructors for every class I create? For example, after I define the move operator/constructor: Edit: Added a little more clarification to what I did. [link] [comments]  |
| From web marketing and economics to progammer. Is this even possible? Posted: 20 Apr 2018 08:04 AM PDT Hi all, I'll briefly introduce myself and apology in anticipation for my weak english (I'm italian). I am 29 years old and I actually work as a online marketing campaign specialist for a big company on a limited time contract (adwords campaigns optimization in particular). I have a degree in economics but, after my master degree, I bounced from one job to another as I couldn't find a way to be passionate about what I was actually doing, for that, my results have always been sub-par, even if I have solid bases in the economics field (good university, good marks). Approaching the next "failure" of the near end of my actual contract, I decided to start studying programming after work, and now I've completed two introductory courses on udacity (java) and MIT edx (python) after a couple months. It all started for curiosity and for friends who are developers and really enjoy their jobs and often talk about it, and now I find myself addicted to it and spending 5-6 a day doing courses and keep learning. My brain is into "tech" since I was younger, I know the basics of cs, I'm an avid videogame player and know about web marketing and seo for my job. My question here is this one: which step should I take next for my career, keeping in mind that my dream is to become a web or application developer in 1-2 years (emphasise your attention on "dream" please)? Dropping everything now to concentrate on studying programming is tough now, I have to earn something.. I can envision two choices now: 1) keep searching for another web marketing job while keep studying harder to become a real wannabe developer; or 2) find a marketing job that at least gives me the opportunity to work on some html, css and basic web development (a little hard now but not impossible); Feel free to share similar stories if you will, it would be helpful for sure. And thanks for this sub! [link] [comments]  |
| Python - help with regular expressions Posted: 20 Apr 2018 08:34 PM PDT I've been trying to get this regular expression to work for a while and I need some help. I have these tweets from the WeRateDogs twitter, and I want to capture the numerators of each of the tweets. Sometimes they are whole numbers, sometimes they are decimals. I have: (\d[.]\d+)|(\d)/ which captures say, 9.75 from 9.75/10, but not 9 from 9/10. It captures nothing. What can I do to make it capture both integers and floats? [link] [comments]  |
| FreeCodeCamp beta "Create a Tribute Page" , can't pass all "tests". Posted: 20 Apr 2018 08:14 PM PDT Hey, going through the Free-Code-Camp beta's curriculum, and I've gotten to the first projects. When creating my tribute page, I've run into an issue, where I can't seem to pass the "test" "Make image resize with parent size, but not exceed it's original size". I've done some googling, and people say to add "Max-width: 100%" which I've done, the picture scales, but doesn't pass the "test" required to complete the project. here is a link to my codepen/project, https://codepen.io/Fingerlights/pen/aGOLmp/?editors=1100 if anyone could take a look (Sorry it's so messy!) That'd be appreciated. Thank you in advance <3 EDIT: solved issue by adding "Display: block"; to the images class. Thanks everyone who read/helped <3 [link] [comments]  |

| How does using two variables in this for loop print out the key and the value in a dictionary? Posted: 20 Apr 2018 08:06 PM PDT I understand that the variable in the for loop is used to iterate over the dictionary. But how does using two variables work to grab the Key and Value simultaneously, and know which one to grab? Gist: https://gist.github.com/Stephen150/c83ddc12bf73ff57cca2cbdc8ecb78d4 Also, as an additional question, when the for loop iterates through the dictionary, it is indexing the dictionary. How would I do the same thing without using two variables like in the above example, and why exactly does this not work(TypeError will not allow me to call a list, tuple or a dictionary)? Then how does using an extra variable index it properly(what sort of data type does it get turned into?) [link] [comments]  |
| Help from anyone who has dealt with modding in Minecraft. Posted: 20 Apr 2018 10:01 AM PDT For my Final Project in my Data Structures course I am trying to integrate my own Data Structures into a custom block with a container, similar to the chest.

| [JavaFX] parallelTransition.play() returning null pointer exception Posted: 20 Apr 2018 07:07 PM PDT I am trying to implement code in JavaFX that creates a scrolling background. I found this nifty link that shows me how to create said background. However, I am getting a null pointer exception when I try to run my program. The problem appears to be parallelTransition.play(). When I comment out my code, my program runs just fine, but I don't get the scrolling background effect that I want. I have tried different resources to help me get parallelTransition working, but to no avail. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. [link] [comments]  |
