| How to get into contributing to open source programs? Posted: 26 Aug 2018 11:45 AM PDT I really want to get into contributing to open source software communities. I also want to create softwares for my own use. I just know all that these "learning" websites teach. But I am not able to know how much knowledge, is the base to start with. Every other website that teaches programming, has a redundant material consisting of a few functions and few other basics. I just can't understand how that knowledge is enough to create a software. I don't seem to see a bridge between this programming knowledge and that equired to create softwares. All I can think is that recruiters check this knowledge and all the other training is given at the companies. But again, where do open source developers start from? What is the base knowledge required to get into completing little tasks in the open souce projects. I've been trying a long time to get into coding but I don't know HOW to start, let alone where. I'd really like to know how to start to get into software development. [link] [comments]  |
| I want to share this AMAZING podcast I found that ever self learning developer should listen to Posted: 26 Aug 2018 05:52 PM PDT I been looking for a podcast to listen to that will help me understand and learn about coding. After listening to a lot of different ones I never found one that gave me exactly what I was looking for. Until I came across I highly recommend giving this a listen. Weekly updates great context and they do a great job explaining and describing the topic in a way a new learning like me could understand. Anyone looking for a podcast I recommend syntax !

| Anyone who is preparing for HTML/CSS job interview? Posted: 26 Aug 2018 08:47 AM PDT Hi, is here anyone who is preparing for a HTML/CSS job interview and would like help with preparation for this? I got to phase where I would like to improve my mentoring skills and share some of my knowledge with the community, so if you are interested, please, let me know. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2018 10:52 PM PDT So, first a quick background. I am an IT student at the University of Missouri in Columbia. I am focusing on the media-track of IT that the school offers (as in video editing, digital effects, computer modelling/animation, etc.). Before I came here, I completed my "gen eds" at a community college. I took no coding classes there, nor when I was in high school. I took a class that teaches C programming my first semester here. I had a little rough time with it. Afterwards, I took the second level of the course, but I dropped out of it due to how terrible the structure and professor were (as many people were saying how infamous it was). When that happened, I did not want to code anymore, but I had to take that class as a requirement for IT. When I dropped though, I found out that a new IT class was created that would count towards the second-level course that I dropped and it was less-intensive with coding as it was for media IT students. I took that and it taught JS and C#, but at the beginning, I did not like coding still and was just going to take the class just for the requirement. After the midterm, I started realizing that I think I do want to get into coding, but I struggled with the content, but got a B+ as the professor is very chill with grading. So now, I took all of the possible classes here that teach a language from the start. Now, I want to learn C, C#, and Python. I know Python is known as the best first language for one to learn, so here is my question. Is Udemy great for learning coding and getting to the professional-level of coding or at least close to it? I would like to take its Python course, but I want to make sure that it is REALLY good at teaching it first. I thank you in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| C#-Just Started, Any Tips or Quality Tutorials Posted: 26 Aug 2018 06:10 PM PDT Hey there gang, ive just started to learn C# and have been having a fairly hard time "getting into it" im doing a IT course atm and if i cant complete the programming side i cant receive the qualification. So if you have any resources video or text would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance [link] [comments]  |
| How to deal with huge amount of Wordpress 404's Posted: 26 Aug 2018 06:39 PM PDT Hey There, I'm relatively new to WP and was tasked with fixing some URL's on a clients site. It sounded like a relatively easy job, and that there would be a pattern I could recognize and solve the problem. However, after going into their WP dashboard and into the Redirection Plugin, it's showing 40k 404 errors! This is a news site with quite a lot of posts. I've noticed in some cases the url would be test.com/723409720934/article-name-here.html and simply removing the long number and html off the back would solve it. But, this isn't even working every time. Maybe 1 in 3 times this will solve that specific url type's issue. Another thing I've noticed, is it's throwing 404 errors for articles which don't even exist on the site (according to the site's search, google search and searching through the posts on the WP dashboard.) I'm really confused by the whole thing and honestly have no idea how to proceed. Can anyone lend some help? Here's an example pic. [link] [comments]  |

| Best language for simple windows apps and tools Posted: 26 Aug 2018 11:45 PM PDT I recently started working as a lab chemist for a large company. I have some programming background, and I have carved out a bit of a niche for myself making simple data analysis and formatting tools to make work easier and pass the time on slow days. Up to this point, all the work I have done is in Python, which I have learned to love a lot. Lots of help, and so many extra packages and such. Only now, I want to start distributing some of my work to coworkers and colleagues, and Python's lack of portability is becoming a problem. Bundled or frozen Python apps tend to be slow, and it feels like a hack. So, I'm on the hunt for a new language. I want:
I have worked with these languages, decreasing order of familiarity:
Based on my research, I see it seems like C++ and Visual Basic .NET are the gold standards for Windows development, but Javascript might be more my speed. Are those overkill for little three button tools? Is there a cost associated with .NET? It is feasible to make non-web apps with js? Is there something else I should look into? With Python, it's easy to interact with other programs or websites to get data or perform tasks. Are there other languages that have that level of integrability? TLDR I want to upgrade from Python for making simple tools and apps [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2018 11:31 PM PDT Hello all. I've made python3 script for scraping Pinterest, but it's very slow even on good hardware and internet. I've a detailed code and hardware information here on stackoverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52033607/python-optiize-scraper-script Basically, the script runs selenium (phantomjs) and loads the url. Then it starts to infinite scroll to reveal all the pins. Then starts clicking 'see more' button for all pins and scrapes the data into arrays. The arrays then go into dataframe and save as csv file. Script works good with small pages, but it's very slow on larger ones. Any help is appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Team Treehouse - Tech Degree - what do you guys think? Posted: 26 Aug 2018 11:26 PM PDT Sup guys, So I recently came across Team Treehouse's Tech Degree program - I knew of the $25 or $50/month options they had, but this was the first time I saw the tech degree program/curriculum. I am not so much interested in the "tech degree" itself, as I know it is essentially an obsolete piece of paper stating you finished the course so that is not the reason I am interested in it. The curriculum, projects and portfolio help, however, seem very good and streamlined for someone who is learning on there own and hoping to get a junior developer job in the near future, like me. I've been learning front end development for the past 6 months or so. I powered through HTML and CSS (taking various courses online, udemy, freecodecamp, etc.) and then dove into JS. However, about a month ago, I went back into learning CSS because previously, I was learning it all based on bootstraps and I really wanted to get a grasp for CSS without bootstrap. I wanted to learn flexbox and grid. So, I am now starting (somewhat) from the beginning and re-learning most of the stuff (or essentially touching up on it/reviewing it). Not to mention I've been traveling for the past 2 months so I haven't done much coding within that time - so I am refreshing my memory and getting back into the whole thing. The problem is, I am constantly looking for new material/courses/videos/tutorials to learn from, bouncing all over the place, from topic to topic, language to language, and I am finding it difficult to focus or complete and learn one thing before moving onto the other, because I am using a lot of different resources and constantly bouncing around from topic to topic. This is why the Treehouse tech degree really interested me - it has everything streamlined into one for the most part. No doubt that I know I will be using other resources along with it, but having a majority of it laid out, and separated by topic seems like a really beneficial thing, as well as a good timeline to follow and track my progress. I also am doing freecodecamp, which is good, however I feel as if that it is only supplemental material. I was learning from it, but certainly not as much as I was hoping. I am going to complete the freecodecamp program however, while I am doing the treehouse one. I know that this treehouse tech degree may not be for everyone, but it seems like with someone who is learning this completely on there own, it would be a great thing to follow. I have a degree in sociology and graduated last year, but found out I really don't want to do anything within the social services sector - which is why I am now learning this on my own, with a goal of becoming a front end developer (possibly full stack), possibly/eventually getting into UX design to incorporate my sociology degree. However, my goal right now is to get a junior web developer job. What do you guys think of the Team Treehouse Tech Degree program, regarding what I mentioned above? Has anyone here done it? I am talking about the $199/month plan. Any information regarding it would be useful TL;DR Really just looking for advice and personal experiences with the Treehouse tech degree - specifically the web developer one, for someone who is learning web development on there own and also has some experience, but needs something more streamlined with project and portfolio help. Anything regarding the Treehouse tech degree would be useful [link] [comments]  |
| Help making a plan for learning to program Posted: 26 Aug 2018 11:21 AM PDT Right now, I have a BSc in Biochemistry and am working in a government job with no real options for progression. Thus, I need a career change. In my last semesters of Biochem, I took two introductory CS classes and did reasonably well. I also took a discrete math class and barely scraped a pass; so that's worrying. My CS classes taught me the basics of C++ including:
I have taught myself some Java too. I want to continue with learning the details of programming, in a generic sense and specifics of C++ as well. But I'm not exactly sure where to go next. It'd be a huge help if someone could help me make a self-study plan for developing the essential skills I need to become a competent C++ programmer. Here are my thoughts so far, as a stream of consciousness:
That's everything I can think of. It'd be a big help if someone could help improve and organize my list so I can set some good goals for myself. Also, I know completed projects are useful for interviews; so I'll need some of those too. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for projects? Are console applications ok? Do they have to be super technical and/or original? [link] [comments]  |
| just starting to learn python(once again), what should I learn a right way this time? Posted: 26 Aug 2018 07:24 PM PDT I studied programming and graduated in 2004. I wrote couple of programs such as hospital, school automation etc... Basically one code adopted to different environments. I used visual basic. But forgot it all since this was in 2005. Since then, I moved to US and was focus on surviving, so I didnt do any programming. Studied in college here again programming. Learned pythong and java. Wrote couple of basic programs and class project. But then got a girlfriend which turned into wife and got 2 kids and full time jobs. Currently I am a network engineer, mid 30s. I got a good job at the biggest Wireless carrier in US. I am not looking to switch career, but trying to add programming/scripting into my portfolio since programming is becoming part of networking as well. My main goal is to do some project related to part of my job where you read the webpage, take the info write it to a file, compare it to previous version and email if there is a different. This is my goal to make it happen as my first project where it will make life easier within my team. I use linux as my desktop and know how to get around in linux(almost ready to pass redhat admin exam.). So currently refreshing my memory with codecademy. I should be done in 1-2 weeks with major topics. So enough of background... I have a few questions or some topics I need advise. 1- My problem was always how to think like a coder. When someone tells me like step by step do this, do that and I can do it easily. But when I think myself, it is hard to start to the project or come up with a logic to implement it. How can I think like a programmer? Do I need I need to refresh my math skills to be more efficient? any tips 2- Also what did you do wrong when you started and you would differently if you were starting over? 3- What editor do you use? I use notepad++ at work computer. But use At [link] [comments]  |
| I dont know what direction i want to go in Posted: 26 Aug 2018 11:02 AM PDT Hi guys, im looking to change careers, i tried doing web development and design for a while but i never really got anywhere, im terrible at anything to do with design. I dont know what to change to,i wanted to get into something more programming based, i've been looking at security and pen testing or maybe data science stuff but im totally out of my depth with what i should learn. As aside I've also been reading through the starch press python books, crash course and automate the boring stuff just for the sake of learning python. [link] [comments]  |
| [Homework] Search function on array of string Posted: 26 Aug 2018 10:50 PM PDT Hi there, Its been awhile since I been back to school and I'm trying to finish this last class up. There is already an assignment to program a search function with an array. "Write a function that uses the pointer representation of an array and pointer arithmetic to search an array of type string for a particular string. The function returns -1 when the search string is not contained in the array and the index number of the first match when found. You must use this function prototype: int searchArray(string* const bunch_of_strings, const int number_of_strings, const string string_to_find); // first parameter const means "don't change any of the elements accessed through the // pointer". Then write a main() that initializes an array and uses searchArray() to try to find a string among the elements of the array. Be sure that your function works when the array does not contain the value, when it contains the value as the first or middle or last element, and when it contains multiple instances of the same value." I just need some pointers on where I should start. It is a little daunting after coming back to school after a few years hiatus. Any reference articles will help me refresh for this class. Thank you.

| Semantic HTML tags and why they seeming don't show up often in most websites? Posted: 26 Aug 2018 10:47 PM PDT So I've been trying to pick up some web development, just ran through the first certification on FCC and did some additional digging on resources like Mozilla's web development thing. In all the sources I've looked at, I've seen things labeling the importance of semantic tags and stuff like that. When I look at the sources of just about every website, I don't see a main tag. Most websites I see are just mainly div tags as containers with a header and sometimes nav and footer. I have seen some sites with section tags, but I haven't found a single website with a main tag or an article tag. Why is that? If I am trying to make a good website should I follow that? Or should I just go ahead and use those semantic tags too. One thing I have read, however, is that tags like section and main aren't necessarily good for styling and that styling should be done with div tags. Is this redundancy of possibly having to wrap a page wrapper div tag with a main tag? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much! [link] [comments]  |
| Does anybody know the which language is best for data science? Posted: 26 Aug 2018 10:39 PM PDT Hello Guys, Could anyone help me out here with a dilemma, which language to choose for Data Science? Is it R or Python? [link] [comments]  |

| Making a custom translating windows application Posted: 26 Aug 2018 06:38 PM PDT Hi, so I'm very new to programming (as in no experience at all), and I was wondering how I would go about making a translating app for windows. Imagine it like a binary translator sort of, so multiple numbers for each letter. I just want to make one where I can type in the numbers, or a long sequence of numbers, into a text box and have it automatically translate them into letters in another box. Any help would be appreciated, and any videos that you can give me explaining this would be extremely helpful. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2018 10:08 PM PDT I am trying to ask the user to input an operation (+, -, /, etc.) and print that operation. It will then prompt the user again four more times until it goes through all operations. When I run it, it prompts for the input, but when I do, nothing happens. What is the reason it's not printing the answer, and prompting for a new operation? r/https://ideone.com/E1VC8Z [link] [comments]  |
| [Help] Eclipse Photon R/Switching from JOptionPane to Scanner. Posted: 26 Aug 2018 10:03 PM PDT Hi all, I have this question: A painting company has determined that for every 115 square feet of wall space, one gallon of paint and eight hours of labor will be required. The company charges $18.00 per hour for labor. Write a program that allows the user to enter the number of rooms to be painted and the price of the paint per gallon. It should also ask for the square feet of wall space in each room. The program should have methods that return the following data: Then it should display it on screen. I have done the majority of it - https://pastebin.com/J5jUNzgP I would just like to ask a few things. 1) Is it easy to change from using to - would it require a zillion changes or is it something simple? 2) I have an additional requirement which asks me to: Implement full validation of user input to ensure than inputs are not zero or negative; the validation routine should be written as a method. I have done this before and it was a matter of adding a condition as I was typing up my "if-else" loop. The validation routine should be written as a method > > How would this be done? Any ideas or advice are welcome, thanks again for your advice - Everybody on here as been super nice and helpful :) (With the exception of those tiny few :P) Thanks again x [link] [comments]  |
| Learnt HTML, CSS (SCSS) Now onto JS, any recommended tutorials? Posted: 26 Aug 2018 06:13 PM PDT So, I know enough HTML and Css/SCSS to build a website, but obviously it doesnt function much without javascript. I already know the basics of javascript form various online tutorials/courses, but none seem to show it in use or how to implement it into an actual site without watch a full "HTML, CSS & JS tutorial". Which is great, but I already know HTML and CSS that I get bored, but skipping to the JS often leads to issues of skipped JS information. Anyone have somewhere to fill the JS gap without having to watch through hours of HTML/CSS again? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2018 02:03 PM PDT So far it's going okay but it just gets pretty boring just reading and taking notes. I know people usually code and test things out but there are exercises in the book I'm not up to yet and I feel like it's too time consuming to just test out printing "hello world" or more complicated things. I also don't really like looking at too many resources because I feel like when people recommend so many resources it ends up being relearning the same thing again. (wasted time) Anyway I was just wondering, is this how people who learn from the textbooks just do it? (just persevere and take notes) Any advice on study habits/schedules? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2018 05:18 PM PDT I have been hobby-learning Java for android for over a year now, and some time ago I dared trying to contribute to a bigger open-source project. There, I have found new challenges, and had to deal with things I didn't even know ever existed. But since until then, all feedback about my code I have gotten is "It compiled, yay!" and "Yay, it actually works like I wanted it to", I never really knew what the best practices are. I'm sure, googling how to solve every problem and then copying a code snippet that I would reuse every time I find a similar problem didn't help my code quality either. While I do feel like I'm slowly improving from the feedback reviewers of my PRs are giving me, I want to know how I can learn writing better code quicker, so others don't have to deal with the code I write.

| How can I prepare for my Big Data technical interview? Posted: 26 Aug 2018 01:06 PM PDT Hello fellow programmers, On Thursday, August 30th, I have a technical interview for a Jr. Software Engineer for a company in Atlanta, GA. They want me to review the following bullet points prior to my interview: • Hive Bucketing & Partioning • Spark RDDs • Dataframes • Dataset differences • Spark vs MapReduce • Data warehousing • Star Schema • Table Join basics • AWS • AWS Lambda Functions • Kinesis vs Kafka I have a few questions for you guys with experience with Big Data companies. 1.) When it comes to partitioning and bucketing, does the company want me to learn the basic concepts (ie. what they do) or learn how to make queries with the two? 2.) When it comes to the technical part of the interview (ie. code in Python), what exact concepts should I review exactly? I'm aware I have to know basic join tables, AWS Lambda functions in Python, but what else? 3.) Where can I review AWS Lambda functions online? [link] [comments]  |
