    Need a c++ refresher

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 09:35 AM PDT

    so i start uni in 2 weeks and need to refresh my mind in c++ have been working too much to get in any programming. Anyone know any decent courses online that are free or very cheap. Or any books, youtube series so that i can catch back up. I mainly focus in video games using engines like unity and UE, but i also do engine programming so anything is welcome.

    I'm getting my ass handed to me in my data structures class, any advice is appreciated....

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 11:51 AM PDT

    I am a computer engineering student that is currently taking data structures and we have just completed our first assignment. Our first assignment took me hours upon hours and days upon days. I ended up getting 50% on it. This is with me putting in max effort.

    I have only been programming for 1.5 years and I feel like I am not good enough. It is very hard for me to keep up with this class. Our professor is obviously trying to weed people out and I'm really trying to hang on, but I'm very worried about my future. The assignments we have are ridiculous.

    Does anyone have any advice for this class ? This class is giving me anxiety....

    EDIT: A lot of good advice here and I really appreciate the support ! I removed the link to my assignment for anonymity reasons, but if anyone wants to attempt it and/or look at it themselves, then PM me. I have the link for it.

    I'm learning Python, should I take notes?

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 10:31 PM PDT

    I've tried multiple times to get into programming. I've tried Java, C++, C, HTML, and even Python. Well now that I'm out of school I've finally decided to use all my efforts on learning Python as that's the easiest language I feel. But code has never really caught on with me...should I take notes? Do I have to remember what each individual word/variable means?

    Edit: I've actually been taking notes, I just wanted to know if they're actually beneficial. Programming reminds me of math too, and I SUCK at Math. I rarely got 70's in high school.

    Help choosing a college program for programming

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 10:16 PM PDT

    I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask but I was hoping to get a little advice from some more experienced professionals in the programming field.

    I recently accepted an offer at Seneca College for this program http://www.senecacollege.ca/programs/fulltime/CPA.html It's a 3 year (6 semester) computer programming and analysis program that comes with an ontario college advanced diploma credential and has optional co-op after 3 semesters which I intend to take.

    A week ago while I was in the states to visit family I got a late admission offer for a different program at the same college. http://www.senecacollege.ca/programs/fulltime/BSD.html This is a 4 year (8 semester) honours bachelor degree program with optional co-op after 6 semesters.

    Unfortunately I had already accepted my first offer to the three year program then left to visit family so I didnt even see the late admission offer for the 4 year program till today since I just got back yesterday. The offer is expired now but if there is space in the program it is likely that I will be able to get myself switched into that program.

    On paper, at a glance it almost seemed like a no brainer to switch into the 4 year program for the better credential but I was hoping to get the opinion of someone more experienced than me in the field.

    Some things that also have me reconsidering my decision, 4 years means I will graduate one year later, which means more time spent in school, and more tuition to be paid. The three year program not only means I would graduate a year sooner and hopefully get into career a year a sooner, but I will also get the co-op 3 semesters sooner, which I find to be the most attractive thing about staying with this 3 year program.

    I will try to get some second opinions at my college tomorrow, not sure from who but I will ask around. I hope some of you might share insight or opinions to help me make a more informed decision because I'm not really sure which would program would be the better one for me to enroll in.

    I am hesitant because it feels like I am choosing between getting into a career more quickly or taking my time to get a better credential without really knowing how either path will actually work out or differ in reality.

    Thanks in advance, and huge apologies if Im being invasive by posting this in the wrong subreddit!

    Do website portfolios/resumes really help at the end of the day when getting a job?

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 11:00 AM PDT

    NOTE I'm not talking about github. I'm talking about having your own website that showcases your own work. And I'm talking about it helping you get a job with a company and not freelance work.

    I've had a website portfolio that I had for a few years now. The thing need to really update and I went back and forward with it as a blog to a portfolio. I'm honestly wondering if it's even worth while to keep paying to keep the site up since it doesn't bring in money when it's a blog, and I don't think it ever helped me out when I had it as a portfolio.

    Advancing from basic C++ learning

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 10:25 PM PDT

    Hi, I completed the SoloLearn App's tutorial for C++ and completed Codecademy's tutorial as well. Still, I fear a little while trying to solve coding challenges on SoloLearn. Could anyone suggest me what to do next in order to master the C++ language? Thanks in advance.

    Continuing as a mobile dev

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 10:28 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    So I've been doing android dev for a couple months and have released a couple apps and working on many more at the moment.

    But I really would like to know what it is that I should know when it comes to android dev? What are some best practices? Best way to use Java in terms of interfaces, classes, etc.? How much should I know or be confident in to the point where I can pick up most ideas and put it together (especially in a freelance job for the future)? What are the key things I should know for android dev?

    Moving on I have recently started iOS dev (just looked over the interface and wrote some really basic program). The same as the previous questions, what should I know for iOS dev?

    I feel like I'm kinda stuck in a box of knowledge that I know and am only able to use that box to create apps. I would really like to expand my knowledge on both sides of the dev to be able to create better and more complex apps.

    Thank you all,

    HBox wont move when Position enum is passed in FXML?

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 09:31 PM PDT

    So I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding this, but my HBox tag doesn't seem to move to the bottom left when I pass it bottom_left in this code.

    <GridPane fx:controller = "application.PaintController" xmlns:fx = "http://javafx.com/fxml" hgap = "10" vgap = "10"> <stylesheets><URL value = "@application.css"/></stylesheets> <HBox alignment = "BOTTOM_LEFT"> <Button text = "Open Image" onAction = "#handleOpenImageButtonPressed" GridPane.rowIndex = "0" GridPane.columnIndex = "0" /> <Button text = "Save Image" onAction = "#handleSaveImageButtonPressed" GridPane.rowIndex = "0" GridPane.columnIndex = "1"/> </HBox> </GridPane> 

    As you can see, I'm passing the alignment attribute of the HBox tag an enum but the two buttons still appear in the top right corner of the JavaFX window. I do have all the proper imports.

    Any help is appreciated!!!

    Can't get past the beginner stage

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 02:23 PM PDT

    Hi, I'm 20 year old and I've started to learn programming about a year ago. I know a little bit of C, Python, HTML, CSS, JS, Assembly and Bash shell. I'm okay at solving problems, and I know the basics (I can manipulate integers, strings, booleans, arrays, lists, if statements, for/while/repeat loops, functions, pointers... etc). But I feel like I don't have have the skills to actually build a project (website, app... etc). I took a bunch of MOOCs and watched a lot of tutorials, but I always feel like a complete beginner no matter how hard I try. Any advices on how to go from beginner to intermediate?

    Can someone explain Java Packages and when to create new files?

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 09:12 AM PDT

    My university taught us python first and we could use any IDE we wanted. When I had to create a calculator, I'd create calculator.py, if I wanted to create a Helloworld program I'd create helloworld.py. I'm learning java (eclipse) and I'm not sure what the equivalent is in Eclipse & Java. Should I create packages or projects from the menu?

    Side question: When you're dealing with Java that has many classes, where exactly do you put the "main method"? Does every class have one? Or is there one special class that is supposed to have one?

    Experiences when first beginning to code

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 12:11 AM PDT

    When I hear of people learning to code at 9 and be master by 13 I'm like what how. I am 17 and am trying to learn how to code and it's pretty intimidating and confusing. How long do you think it will take me to learn and understand? How did you guys learn to code? Was it intimidating and confusing? Who taught you? How do you teach yourself?

    I really want to become a good programmer it is so fascinating to me, but so god damn confusing. I'm willing to put in the work, but youtube videos simply confuse me and I dont understand what I'm doing or how to go about it.

    CSS Coding Challenges YouTube Series. Good Idea?

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 06:14 AM PDT

    Hello everybody. I run a YouTube channel (Web Dev Simplified), and am trying to brainstorm series ideas that I can produce alongside my normal weekly uploads. One idea I had was to produce a series where I complete CSS coding challenges from either coding websites or user submissions in order to help others understand how to complete these problems and most importantly to help others see someone with a large amount of web development experience tackle a problem and see why I do what I do.

    I plan on explaining my thought process as well as my reasoning behind my chooses to make the series educational since that is the main point of my channel.

    The main concern I have is I do not know if there is much demand for such content, and that is where you lovely Redditors come in. Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in personally and if so why.

    Thank you so much for taking your time to read this.

    EDIT: I have gotten quite a bit of good feedback for this idea, and plan to go forward with it. If anyone has any ideas for the first challenge feel free to let me know below. Thanks again everybody.

    Computer stuff doesnt make sense to me

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 12:01 AM PDT

    You know how people code using java and stuff like that. What about the person who creates java how is something created. What is the start. How do you program the things we use to program. I dont get how it all works.

    I think these are things I should know and understand before learning how to code.

    SMTP relay logging

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 11:59 PM PDT

    Hi folks,

    I'm trying to write a custom SMTP relay in Java. I've gotten the program working as expected, but now I need to deploy it. For troubleshooting, I want to add some logging functionality to my program to debug future SMTP related bugs What SMTP parameters should I log? Off the top of my head I can think of MessageID. What else would aid me debugging future issues?

    Truth table question

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 04:08 PM PDT

    I'm going through one of the Python courses on EdX. I understand the logic behind boolean operators but I can't seem to get the right answer to this truth table question:

    https://www.screencast.com/t/bxvK6P8i

    So either their answer is wrong, or I'm missing something. I've gone through each one of them several times and am reasonably confident in my answer. Help?

    What IDE should I download?

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 09:29 AM PDT

    I used to use Eclipse, but I got a new Macbook over the summer and I'm wondering if I should try something different this time since I remember having the occasional annoying hiccup that could only be chalked up to the IDE itself.

    I primarily code for school- C/C++ and Java. I'm a CS Major but I plan on going into primarily UX/UI Design and front end development when I graduate in December, if that matters at all.

    binary and hexadecimal

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 11:18 PM PDT

    so for a class i am trying to learn how to manually convert between binary, hexadecimal, and decimal. does anyone have any tricks or tips for converting quickly by hand? it seems to take me a long time to figure out converting one type to another. i've been told that there are ways to look at it to make it quicker and easier but no one in class will tell me what that consists of specifically.

    Successfully transitioned from Tester to Developer!

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 03:14 AM PDT

    Hi /r/learnprogramming!

    Just wanted to share with everyone that I managed to land myself a developer position!

    I've been a software tester and doing automation for a few years and finally made the jump to developer.

    I know a lot of software testers out there have aspirations of being a developer and I want you to know that it is 100% possible and you can do it!

    My job will consist of React, React Native and Node, along with some .Net Core and a few other things!

    If anyone has any questions or would like some input as to the transition of tester to dev, I'd love to chat about it!

    If anyone has any advice they would like to share about the first few weeks of a dev job, I'd love to hear it. The more advice, the better prepared!

    Happy coding everyone!

    Advice on what to learn next after basic C++ knowledge !

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 11:00 PM PDT

    Hi everyone, I just finished learning the basic stuff for C++ like array vectors loops classes pointers etc. Problem is i feel like I am no where near the level that companies want from me. I tried looking at Github and had no idea how to remotely use the platform. I just feel like I have no idea what to prepare next. Should I look at other websites that offer C++ practices/challenges.Should I tried learning how to use GitHub or is there anything valuable that companies actually want people to know before joining them ?

    Hope my questions are clear enough. Really appreciate everyone's advice. Have a lovely day !
