    For those that are self-taught themselves full-stack and feel comfortable, what resources did you use? learn programming

    For those that are self-taught themselves full-stack and feel comfortable, what resources did you use?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 01:05 PM PDT

    I've been trying to teach myself fullstack development since it's not something thats really covered in school.

    I know everyone learns differently and at a different pace but I just wanted to get an idea/inspiration, for those who feel like they've learned enough to comfortably build a web app from the from bottom up, what resources did you use, how long did it take you?

    I've been trying to learn through a udemy course but I'm finding while watching the videos and coding along it feels like and I feel like I'm learning. However, when I tr to actually implement what I learned by creating a different variation of what I learned, I blank out. So maybe watching videos is not my learning style.

    How Not to Solve It

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 01:27 PM PDT

    So some coworkers and I have been batting this around on a whiteboard, and one of them suggested sharing it. It's a satirical antipattern-y play on Polya's How to Solve It.

    How Not to Solve It

    1. Lump it together.
    2. Don't talk about it.
    3. Look at nothing else until you've solved it.
    4. Take shallow breaths.
    5. Try only one approach.
    6. Enlarge the problem.
    7. Assume you have all the tools you need.
    8. Your perspective is already correct.
    9. Listen to a rubber duck.
    10. Never restate the problem.

    I know there are some other ideas out there begging to be added to this. How else would you not solve it?

    I need to learn java fast.what is your suggestion?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 07:34 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I've been teaching myself programming for almost a year by coding in freecodecamp.some html, css and JavaScript.

    in the meantime,although i didn't know anything about Java, I sent my application for a bootcamp scholarship in android development. their minimum requirement was to know basic Java.

    and I lied. i didn't know, i could get accepted,but today i received a shocking email which shows that I've got lucky.

    Now I have to learn Java. and the classes will start in September.

    I'm really excited for this opputunity . at least i can learn programming for some professional mentors, but i don't know what is the fastest way to learn the Java , so I could proceed with the class.

    I'll appreciate your advice.thank you.

    Good resources for learning ada?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 09:43 PM PDT

    I just got an internship at an aerospace and defense company and they use ada. I've been searching for some tutorials but the syntax feels A LOT different than what I'm used to. I've used java, c, and python before. What are some good resources to learn ada?

    I need advice from people who have taken data structures...

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 04:23 PM PDT

    I am a computer engineering student currently at a fairly reputable university that has about 3 more semesters left until I graduate. I am currently taking a data structures class (which both compSci and compE student take, the class is taught entirely in Java) and our professor seems like he is trying to weed people out. Our first assignment we have to build is a file text parser program from scratch without the use of hashmaps and such (refer to my post history for the exact assignment).

    Since I am an engineering student, I know how rite of passages and "games" by professors work by now, but this class is extremely intimidating at the moment. When looking up solutions online for methods and such, every solution contains things like hashmaps and other built in data structures we can't use yet (even though I know how to use them).

    The purpose of this post is for me to get some advice. How was your data structures class like ? How did you survive ? I work hard, but right now I'm feeling very stupid in this class even though I already know a lot of data structures concepts since I've been programming for a little over a year. Are there any tips or words of wisdom you can give me ? Thanks for the advice !

    Learn the basics of programming logic while playing

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 02:33 AM PDT

    Hey guys!

    ​

    I'm Sébastien/GFX47, a french solo developer making a game called "Gladiabots" that may interest you.

    Gladiabots is a robot combat strategy game in which you carefully construct the AI of your robot squad and send them into the battle arena. Improve, refine and repeat until you outsmart all your opponents and friends online.

    You can watch the trailer on the website.

    ​

    Programming has been a passion for me even before I tried it. I've been programming for nearly 20 years now (OMG I'm so old), not bragging I'm good at it (far from it), but I kept that love for the virtually unlimited creativity you unlock as soon as you write your first line of code.

    But I also know that learning a new language from scratch can be quite a daunting task. That's a big part of what motivated me to make this game: giving access to this creative power without the hassle of memorizing all the details that make a programming language.

    ​

    The game has already been used by several teachers in class rooms to teach the basics of the programming logic to students who never touched programming before. I've shared pictures of it in this thread.

    That's why I thought it may interest some of you guys. Let me know if it helps some of you too! ;)

    ​

    Cheers,

    Seb/GFX47

    Resources for learning machine learning

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 10:48 AM PDT

    As the title says, I am looking for good resources for getting into machine learning. I don't want to use a library as a tool to solve a problem, I want to learn what's behind libraries like tensorflow and learn how I can program my own neural networks. I am looking for a written tutorial, either a good book or online, as Video Tutorials are good for Introduction, but for me, just aren't efficient to learn. Thanks in advance :)

    Is Colt Steele’s Web Developer Bootcamp outdated?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 08:53 PM PDT

    I'm near the end of the bootcamp in the MongoDB section but as I was working through this, it seemed like much of it was recorded years ago. There's no mention of ES6, flexbox, bootstrap 4, etc. Is this course outdated at this point? Is there a more up to date full stack course you would recommend?

    Been at this for several weeks, really desperate for help: Submitting form data to a database [nodeJS, express, mongo]

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 08:37 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I feel like I've melted my brain trying to figure this out on my own and I just can't make sense of it. The more I work at this, the less I think I understand.

    I have a modal on my page that when you click it, creates an in-browser pop-up that asks a user for two pieces of information: a location and a reminder. This is what it looks like in pug/jade that's simply called checkLocation.pug

    .modal .modal-content form(method='POST' id='newReminders') input(type='text' name='location' id='location' placeholder='location') br input(type='textarea' name='reminder' rows='4' id='reminder' placeholder='type your reminder here') br button(id='saveButton') save span.close-button ×

    I have browser-side java script handling the appearance and disappearance of this modal in a file called checkLocation.js:

    var modal = document.querySelector(".modal"); var trigger = document.querySelector(".trigger"); var closeButton = document.querySelector(".close-button"); function toggleModal() { modal.classList.toggle("show-modal"); } function windowOnClick(event) { if (event.target === modal) { toggleModal(); } } newIcon.addEventListener("click", toggleModal); closeButton.addEventListener("click", toggleModal); window.addEventListener("click", windowOnClick);

    Both of these files are in a views folder. Outside of that folder I have my server.js file that handles the sever-side javascript like routing. So far for this I have this stuff going on:

    const mongo = require('mongodb'); const assert = require('assert'); const url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/doko'; router.get('/get-data', function(req, res, next){ var resultArray = []; mongo.connect(url, function(err, db){ assert.equal(null,err); var cursor = db.collection('reminders').find(); cursor.forEach(function(doc, err) { assert.equal(null, err); resultArray.push(doc); }, function(){ db.close(); res.render('myReminders', {items: resultArray}); }) }) }); router.post('/insert', function(req, res, next){ var geoLocation = { title: req.body.location, content: req.body.reminder }; mongo.connect(url, function(err, db){ assert.equal(null, err); db.collection('reminders').insertOne(item, function(err, result) { assert.equal(null, err); console.log('Item inserted'); db.close(); }) }) res.redirect('/checkLocation'); });

    What I can't figure out is how to make the connection between my modal form and the database. I know in the server-side javascript I need to have the router.post grab information from the modal but ... I'm totally lost. I have been reading everything I can find and have been watching YouTube videos and I am definitely missing some important things here and I am so desperate for help. I'll even pay someone to help me if that's what needs to happen.

    I have all the files in a git repository for anyone to look at.

    Got an Internship for a Telecom position in the SMS team. Any advice on necessary tech to know.

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 01:30 PM PDT

    Hello, soon finishing a small 18 month program and starting an internship at a telecom company. Im supposed to work on the SMS team.

    ​

    I am currently very fluent with computers, i know my way around bash, java, python, relational databases ( SQL, PL/SQL ), etc ( il give a more complete list of info if needed).

    Is there anything that i should start preparing to be more effective at my internship. Getting a permanent position after my internship is something that i am really really determined to achieve and i want to stack the odds in my favor.

    ​

    Some have suggested i do a couple of things:

    - CCDNA/CCNP/CICD from plural sight on networking.

    - http://www.lpi.org/how-to-get-certified/free-training-materials:

    - Chewing through the material all the way up to LPIC-2

    const reference initialization only works withing constructor

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 07:19 PM PDT

    #include "stdafx.h" #include <string> #include <iostream> class PrintString { const std::string& m_string; public: PrintString(const std::string& string) :m_string(string) { std::cout << m_string << '\n'; } void printAgain() { std::cout << m_string << '\n'; } }; int main() { PrintString printAttempt("string"); printAttempt.printAgain(); return 0; }

    ​

    this prints:

    string

    it compiles fine, but just print nothing from printAgain(). am i misunderstanding how const references work or is the problem something else?

    help using a python as server-side

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 09:42 PM PDT

    Long preface. I have some experience using LAMP with php I have one set up now and everything works for website development using php with JS, HTML, CSS, & mysql. I'm working on a new app with some friends where I need to use python as my server side language. This will be a desktop app that communicates with a server to upload files, and be able to download files from other users. I have read a few things, but I feel like I don't have a way to transfer my knowledge of php to python in a one to one fashion. Id like to do this without using any framework, but most articles point me in the direction of django or flask. I have been following the tutorials from this website

    https://pythonschool.net/server-side-scripting/create-your-first-server-side-script/

    ​

    but when I run the file "testPage.cgi", or whatever the tutorial named their test file, on my local server I see all the python code printed. Is something wrong with what I'm doing? The way I understood something else I read I feel like I need to change something on the apache2 server to be able to handle python files correctly, but I'm not sure if that was what was meant by that tutorial ( sorry I don't have a link to that page).

    At this point I'm rambling about a bunch of shit I don't really know a whole lot about. So please forgive any malformed statements I may have made.

    ​

    TL;DR

    All I really want is *best* *easiest* *non-framework* way to get a python program running on my desktop to communicate with a server side python program via a LAMP stack, probable using google cloud services, with the intent or sharing files with other users who are using the same python desktop program.

    Downloaded an app to study. its a huge block of code crammed up together. Is there a way to make it readable by separating the code properly?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 05:21 PM PDT

    Its such a mess. I cant read it because its all together in the same text with almost no spaces and no lines. Is this on purpose so that nobody can plagiarize or understand it? Is there a software that makes it clean and readable? Please let me know.

    Broke and Want to Learn Coding

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 08:18 PM PDT

    Hello, I am currently trying to learn pretty much any programming language, I am not exactly rich so any professional help will most likely be too expensive, however please try to note very cheap options. Here as some questions I would like to ask about coding since I have no idea where to star.

    1. What programming language is easy to learn, yet can do some decent tasks? I have alot of time yet I do want to know a good programming language.

    2. What Free or Cheap programs can I use to start programming, cause right now all I have is notepad and a windows 10 pc.

    3. How do I find tutorials or help since I will need alot of it to learn the basics.

    4. What will be the easiest and hardest thing to learn.

    5. Does it reqire alot of time in one run, I have alot of time in little pockets, yet going all in for 3 hours will not work that well

    Thank you and hope to be coding/programming with you soon!

    Noob here. Thinking about doing a Medieval Total War 1 clone. I wonder if i can start where they left off...

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 04:29 PM PDT

    Is it possible for me to see all the code in this game? And then just add in more features?

    If legality is concerned i would not sell it. I would do it mostly to learn.

    So i would just like to know if it is possible.

    And also. If it is possible. How illegal is it, if i just learn their coding techniques and reinterpret it in my way to design my own game that will be different than MTW1 in almost everything but utilize the knowledge and the techniques that are used in it (however differently).

    Its an old game, from 2001.

    How to pick up C++ comprehensively?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2018 07:10 PM PDT

    C++ seems so hard to practice, I'm not saying the topics are hard to understand but just like it's so complex that expanding anywhere past the console is very hard. I picked up Python in a couple of months well enough to write my own applications from scratch. I know many of the topic of C/C++ in fact the language is how I really learned to program but I struggle to find ways to practice it and apply my knowledge in personal projects since its more of an industry language. I'd say 90% of the careers I want to pursue with my computer science degree require or prefer C/C++ skills (As well as Java/OOP and Python/other scripting language) And C/C++ seems like its going to be the hardest to gain an understanding of unless I get an internship working with it.

    Any tips on getting a good enough understanding to land an internship working with C/C++ since thats my main goal
