    Want to dedicate the summer to learning full stack JavaScript. What is the best course of action?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 03:42 AM PDT

    I'm just finishing up my second year in a CS degree and I have a a lot of time this summer. I have experience only in vanilla JavaScript and would love to learn full stack JavaScript (i.e. ES6, Node & React). What is the best way to achieve this, what courses are worth doing etc, what should I make?

    Is there anyone here who followed a path to learning full JavaScript?

    I have tons of free time. Where should I start?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 10:59 PM PDT

    Long story short, my degree is useless and I can't find a job to save my life. My wife is currently supporting both of us, and she can, but it's pretty rough.

    My goal is web page development so I went ahead and bought two courses from Udemy with very high ratings, one of which is full stack.

    I'm starting them in the morning and I have eight months, give or take a couple of weeks, to learn enough to get a job. I have plenty of time to study during the day and to practice and do whatever I need to do because as of right now, no one has gotten back to me about a job. Not even Walmart.

    1) Is starting from the bottom with web development viable in my position?

    2) What would you do to learn as much as possible in this short amount of time if you were me?

    3) Is eight months long enough to build web dev. skills that would help me land a job and relocate? (I live in small town Arkansas)

    4) What advice do you have to offer outside of the questions I've asked?

    Best way to create a live datafeed from an SQL server to microsoft excel

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 10:53 PM PDT

    Although I have experience programming it has been low breadth and high depth and as such I lack a lot of knowledge outside my area of expertise. I am looking to creat a live datafeed from a MSSQL server to microsoft excel that updates per second.

    Thus far I have seen basic excel features like query data/external sources and increasing the refresh rate using the vba (Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Refresh_Query" or similar). However what I am really looking for is something akin to a Dynamic data exchange DDE, real time data server RTD, or similar (SSIS has been thrown around, ODBC too).

    The data is originally being pulled via python and if a live link can be created from python to excel while the excel sheet is open that would work as well.

    Any advice would be great.

    I need help to master Java.

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 06:04 PM PDT

    So... I know arrays, switch, conditional statements, loops, and stuff. I know how to import stuff, and I kinda know stuff about methods, but I still am confused. Would be nice if someone can tell me what else should I learn to master this programming language and someone I can ask via Reddit.

    What (new) language has the most features and very thought out?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 08:06 PM PDT

    The two newest languages I know are Rust and Zig. Both are safety minded. I was wondering if there are any languages that have a lot of features? More specifically one that can do a static if or manipulate the AST like Rust does?

    How to set up my computer for general programming

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 07:22 PM PDT

    I'm sorry if this has been asked, but I didn't see it anywhere. I've had some experience programming and know the general structures/theories. What I don't yet understand is how to actually begin in practice on a new computer. Is there a resource on what tools I should install/how to install them and how to get my computer optimized and ready to go? For example, I know I need to install git, install a language (i was thinking python), and get started using the command line properly. Any advice on setting up a good config file and shortcuts would be great too. Basically, I want to go from a new computer on which I've never done any program to being able to write, run, and use code. I'm using a mac. Thanks!

    When did you guys learn to program?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2018 12:17 AM PDT

    And do you guys think those that learned to code at a younger age have an advantage over those that learn at an older age, like in college?

    (C++) Projects that don't only involve the console?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 04:38 PM PDT

    So over the past year and a half of taking compsci at college, I've become actually pretty decent at programming. The only thing I'm not quite understanding is why everything ... absolutely everything we've covered just a console application.

    I can make some pretty sweet text based games in the console and even make them fairly user-friendly, but what if I want a nice looking interface? What if I want graphics? I have absolutely zero idea where to start in linking my code up to graphics or a cool interface.

    I don't want to simply type my code into a program that will then do all of the work for me. I want to actually create the game, from as much scratch as possible, design the sprites myself. That kinda thing.

    So basically ... where do I start?

    Where do I start when I want to learn HTML and java?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 07:19 PM PDT

    Hi r/learnprogramming I'm interested In learning java and HTML and I don't seem to learn anything from sitting through any code.orgs or code academies. I am not a complete coding newbie, as I know a coding language called robotC for VEX robotics. And I have an idea of how to learn, as I was completely self taught when I learnt RobotC, but I'm at a point where I don't even know how to begin.

    Projects every programmer should attempt?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2018 12:24 AM PDT

    I find that I learn more if I can apply concepts en masse in the form of a project. Are there projects that are universal, a good idea, or a good milestone for programmers to universally attempt?

    I find myself struggling to think of what to do because my knowledge is so limited. I find a project within some sort of realistic reach gives me a good sense of direction. In fact, not knowing how to do it would be preferable, but it should be something that makes use of fundamental concepts in programming, and something that might not be a conventional curriculum that one might stumble upon in self-teaching or school.

    In my case, for example, something that I'd worked on to fill various conceptual gaps was to make a simple game. I managed to learn about input device use in real-time in a program, about graphical display (beyond just print statements and such), about making functional logic flow for something (relatively) complicated with my limited knowledge at the time, managing scope, etc.. But because the project was simple enough, it was entirely doable for a lone newbie like myself. I was wondering if there are any other projects that come to mind that could teach many valuable things at the same time, something that might be applicable to any programmer who learns through self-teaching and working on a project, just as I do.

    Personal experiences and challenge anecdotes welcome as well.

     

    Sincerely, an aimless college freshman fed up with "Hello World" type curriculum.

    [C] question about variables

    Posted: 27 Apr 2018 12:08 AM PDT

    Disclaimer: I've never used C before a few weeks ago, and I'm somewhat new to programming in general.

    I'm writing a really basic space invaders type game in C. We have a little motherboard with a screen, joystick and buttons to port it to. I'm far from done but how it currently works is this:

    -the character can move around the bottom of the screen from left to right with the joystick

    -when the button is pressed, it creates a bullet right above his head that moves up to the top then vanishes

    Now here's where there's a problem. In order to make the bullet spawn right above his head, I had to use the x and y coords of the character to define where to create the bullet. These are stored in variables, which are modified in the joystick code whenever the joystick is moved.

    The movement of the bullet occurs like this: a black square quickly covers up the bullet, and a new bullet is drawn just above it. This repeats until the bullet hits the top.

    So, the problem is that when the bullet moves about the x-axis just like the character does. This is because all the rectangles for the bullet's "movement" are defined such that their x coordinate is the variable of the Character's x coordinate, which of course changes with the joystick.

    so my question is this: is it possible in C to extract the INSTANT, integer value of a variable? For example, if I can nab the instant value of the character's x-coordinate when the first rectangle of the bullet is created, then re-use that unchanging integer (as another variable) for the x-coordinate for subsequent rectangles, it will appear as if the movement of the bullet is straight up, despite the character still moving about.

    TLDR: Is it possible in C to extract the instant integer value of an often-changing variable and store it in another variable for temporary use?

    Making an app for linux?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 11:47 PM PDT

    So I was wondering what it would take to make a messaging app.

    I took networks recently so I learned how to send messages to clients and servers in c. We used deprecated code so it probably isn't the best realistic option, but I don't know python (though I could learn)

    I've never made a native app on windows or linux or anything before. I tried throwing together an app in android studio once and that's all the experience I have.

    I have some encryption knowledge of keys from my number systems class, so I think I could incorporate encryption, which I'd like to focus on with my app. Ideally it's something I'd use, maybe with like a close friend.

    Maybe also make the app on windows, but I'd like to focus on linux.

    If you've heard of signal, I think it's open source encrypted messaging for iphone and android, maybe something like that. I haven't looked at it's code before but surely I can learn something from it.

     

    If you have any experience planning something like this out, I'd really appreciate a brief walkthrough of the process. I feel like I'm out of my league, but I'm certain I could grasp it.

    Thanks!

    Am I doing the right thing?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 11:22 PM PDT

    Is programming a good field to get into if you want little to no take home work, and not super long hours? Or do I have the wrong idea.

    I am not sure what to major in and CS does seem interesting. I plan on learning HTML this summer (mainly trying to do basic projects to see if I really like it), and then I'll take a JAVA course next semester.

    Is my plan so far good? I'm feeling incredibly bored with my current major, and hope this one works out. I'm not sure if I'm passionate about it, but I'll have to see. I doubt I will (I don't even think I can experience it) , I hope it keeps me engaged though.

    [Solidity] Stuck on a payout-from-fund formula.

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 11:02 PM PDT

    I'm building a time-locked savings account. If a user withdraws funds before a set time, a fee occurs. This fee is stored as a fund to be distributed among users when they put more money in the contract/their savings account.

    I'm really struggling with the formula for fund payout. The goal is to minimize the risk of a malicious user creates multiple accounts to capitalize on payout structure, or that it favors users with large amounts of ety/whales.

    Best I have so far:

    payout = (totalFundAmount / users*100) * (amount/1000000...(1 eth in wei))

    Can someone better than me in math help me out?

    Practice Questions or Do Projects and contribute?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 10:35 PM PDT

    I've been learning Python for 2 months now. I have solved some questions on HackerRank and CodeChef. I've also made some projects using Python.

    Now I feel that I know enough python to solve "problems" that I encounter when I'm making projects.

    I want to improve my programming skills, should I do more projects or practice problems ?

    Why do coding bootcamps almost all seem to teach Ruby/on rails?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 03:51 PM PDT

    Not sure if this is the place to ask, but here goes.

    I used to work in IT Support, more recently in sales, and I've been trying to break in to programming. it's hard going though, coming home after working full time and then learning an hour or two a night for Python while exhausted from work and distracted.

    So I decided to look in to bootcamps after a few recruiters recommended it. However, all of the bootcamps in my city seem to teach JS with Ruby/on rails. Everything I'm looking up mostly says that Ruby is declining in demand. Why does the main option here seem to be Ruby as opposed to Python or Java? Am I missing something?

    Thanks!

    Experiences doing Hack Reactor Part Time Remote

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 02:44 PM PDT

    Was wondering if anyone had experience doing Hack Reactor Part Time Remote. Also was trying to find the timing/schedule as well.

    Currently am studying but just it piques my interest at times, since I hear good things from most people who attend (have seen some reviews about less than favorable experience too, not necessarily the part time program though).

    "Queried but never updated" error Java?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 07:57 PM PDT

    edit: full code is posted below 

    Forewarning: Please excuse my ignorance as I am currently starting my CIS major/this is my first time taking a class learning Java this year. :c

    I'm trying to make a "gradebook" with the following code: Map<Student, Map<Course, Double>> gradebook = new HashMap<Student, Map<Course, Double>>(); System.out.println(gradebook.put(jerryAttrick, jerryScores);

    Expected result is to print the Student's course and course score.

    So when I try to run this I get an 'Exception': Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at Tester.main(Tester.java:39)

    Then 'gradebook' is highlighted yellow with the following message: "Contents of collection 'gradebook' are queried but never updated OR updated and not queried. Such mismatched queries and updates are pointless, and may indicate either dead code or a typographical error.".

    I know it means that the code may be dead but according to my homework I do need this line for me to complete a few problems.

    I don't want anyone to think I want them to re-write my code, I just want help with this one error. If I need to give more of the preceding code I will be more than happy to. I just didn't want this to be a huge block of text.

    I appreciate all answers!!! -^

     import java.util.Collection; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; public class Tester { public static void main(String[] args) { String mathString = "Math"; String computerScienceString = "CMSC"; Math math = new Math(); CMSC cmsc = new CMSC(); Student student1 = new Student("mary", 123); Student student2 = new Student("Andy", 89); Student roseBush = new Student("Rose Bush", 123); Student helenHeaven = new Student("Helen Heaven", 987); Student jerryAttrick = new Student("Jerry Attrick", 444); Student tommyGunn = new Student("Tommy Gunn", 515); System.out.println(jerryAttrick); Course course1 = new Course("science", 454, 14); Course course2 = new Course("Math", 566, 12); Course course3 = new Course("Math", 640, 13); Course course4 = new Course("Math", 645, 13); Course fundamentalsI = new Course(computerScienceString, 150, 4); Course algorithms = new Course(computerScienceString, 250, 3); Course math200 = new Course(mathString, 200, 4); Course religion101 = new Course("Religion", 101, 4); Map<Course, Double> jerryScores = new HashMap<Course, Double>(); jerryScores.put(fundamentalsI, 92.3); jerryScores.put(algorithms, 87.6); jerryScores.put(math200, 88.8); Map<Student, Map<Course, Double>> gradebook = new HashMap<Student, Map<Course, Double>>(); System.out.println(gradebook.get(tommyGunn).get(fundamentalsI));

    Change minidlna dlna file to see sr.srt instead of .srt

    Posted: 26 Apr 2018 07:51 PM PDT

    I download my subtitles with country code (sr.srt) and minidlna dlna server can only see .srt files with same name like video file.. In minidlna forums, someone mentioned this:

    If you just want minidlna to serve one, like 'en', you would just add a regex or similar string function to select one to insert into the database. Look into check_for_captions() in metadata.c.

    This is metadata.c file in sourceforge git: https://sourceforge.net/p/minidlna/git/ci/master/tree/metadata.c

    what should i change so minidlna can pick sr.srt.. thanks..

    I see in sourceforge info page that programming language is C
