    How do programmers develop the skill to “build” whatever project ideas that may come to their minds?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 11:20 PM PDT

    As a beginner programmer and first year CS student, I've always wondered how some of my more experienced collegues can just build whatever reasonable side project comes to their minds. Building a webapp/app from scratch for your portolio or a hackathon is obviously something that is not taught in school and is pursued by initiative, so my question is: Where and how do more mature programmers learn the specific code/syntax that it takes to build their cool ideas?

    Edit: Example: If I wanted to build a messaging application using Javascript or something, clearly, my CS courses wont help much with learning the syntax/terminology to achieve that so where would I go to get my feet wet and actually get started? Do you guys watch online videos? Do you read documentation?...

    Thank you guys🙏

    Does anyone else who uses udemy or just does exercises get them wrong most of the time?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 09:22 AM PDT

    I'm doing colt steele python course and unforunately I seem to get many of the exercises wrong. This has become pretty discouraging for me and really does make me think maybe I am not cut out for this.

    Does this happen to anyone else?

    What does it say about my coding if I have a difficult time knowing what everything means when returning for an old project?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 09:34 AM PDT

    I know every programmer has trouble getting back to old code he wrote. Is there a way to alleviate this issue?

    How to transition into 'real' programming job?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 10:51 AM PDT

    About myself:

    I studied a mix between economics and engineering at a very well known university in Germany. We learned programming basics in Java and prototyping with Matlab etc., but no real software engineering. Afterwards I joined a quantitative methodology team in a Swiss bank for 3 years, and since nine months I work in another quantitative area doing basically everything in Python. Machine learning (deep learning and recurrent networks), risk analysis and simulations, and writing server-run code to manage large data sets. I also know C# from game programming which I've been doing in my free time.

    My issue:

    I utterly enjoy programming and want to transition into more software-engineering type of work. I don't want to do prototyping anymore, I want to be working on bigger applications/systems and I'm happy to put effort in to get there.

    Questions:

    What extra skills do I need to learn and how do I learn them to successfully join such a field? How can I use these skills to make the transition? (I'm 30)

    I recently became disabled and need to find a career/job

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 11:55 PM PDT

    I recently became disable to where I can't leave my home. I need to find a job as soon as possible. I felt learning programing could be a possibility. I have some experience with html/css but mostly using WYSISYG's like Rapidweaver and Muse. I've always been intrigued by iOS development. But in my current situation, time is an issue. So what programing career path could I study on my own that would provide a 60k job via telecommute? One that has plenty of openings and could qualify in the shortest amount of time? I have looked into Wordpress development, front end, backend, java, php and unity development. Unless anyone has a better idea of how to make money from home, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for reading.

    Aggregated list of interactive tutorials

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 07:25 PM PDT

    I enjoy learning interactively, so I built myself a list of interactive tutorials. While there are many tutorials for popular languages, if you know of any tutorials for other fun things to learn interactively that are not in the list yet, let me know so I can add it to the list for my reference.

    Thanks!

    What makes C++ such a hard language that many are scared of?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 11:08 PM PDT

    I'm taking a C++ course at a uni coming from a Java background and I can't see why many people say C++ is one of the more difficult languages. I get that theres pointers and memory management but I don't see it any more difficult than other programming concepts. Perhaps when I try using C++ in a professional/practical perspective it gets difficult?

    So my question is, what makes C++ considered a difficult language?

    I'm currently learning programming as a hobby. I want to create a bot on Google Hangouts to have some fun. Is that possible with JavaScript?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 11:50 AM PDT

    The title says it all. I've done a little bit of looking around and so far it looks like Python seems to be well-suited to the task of creating chat bots. However, I already know a good amount of HTML and CSS and have heard the tales of how versatile JavaScript is. I'd like to add it to my arsenal of programming skills and am wondering if JavaScript can be used to accomplish my task. For the record, I don't mind if one if more suitable for the task than the other, all that matters whether it is possible or not.

    Thank you!

    Second Year University Student - Resume Question for Internship

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 10:17 AM PDT

    Yeah I know this is more of a CSCareerQuestions post but it got flagged because you can't ask resume questions on certain days. Anyways, I'm looking to hopefully get an internship this summer. I am 23 years old and have a decent amount of work history from before going to school.

    This work history has nothing to do with anything CS: such as working at a grocery store, tech support (sorta CS), logging company, and security. Each of these was over a year and one of them was 2 years. Should I include these on resume? Or for experience should I post about my projects I've completed instead? Thank you guys!

    Getting back to programming

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 12:55 AM PDT

    I'm currently in college for a software engineering degree starting my third year (having to retake courses Ive missed as I had failed some math prerequisites in first year, so I wont have any programming courses this year) and Ive not touched programming since my last semester.

    I want to get back to programming so I wont completely forget what Ive learned so far.

    Ive taken 3 courses in Java 1 course in C and a course in python, and I can barely remember much of python, java or C syntax but I do remember the logic and the thinking I was taught to have.

    And so, Im looking for material to get me back, sort of a refresher and something to make that will make sure I wont forget the languages till next year where Ill need them.

    Im currently trying to make a simple pong game that changes the paddles starting point each round, but wish for a better way to refresh my memory

    How to avoid getting overwhelmed by code?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 06:38 PM PDT

    Hi.

    I've been coding in a few langs for a few past years. I think that I've started when I was around 8, back in ~2010. If I were to list the langs, it was mostly PHP and Js(w/jQuery), but I've also played with vb6(mostly for fun), lua and python and made something in C and allegro5. Oh, and I absolutely love bash.

    My problem is that lately I've been feeling discouraged. I haven't been coding much since August and still, I rarely feel like coding. I've been trying to learn objective code and symfony (php framework) because a friend encouraged me to try them. Welp, I hate both(especially frameworks in general), but one day, these things may help me to find a job, so whatever.

    The thing that gets me down the most is probably my lack of knowledge. On one hand, I'm (AFAIK) experienced comparing to people of my age, on the other hand, my IRC friends tend to say that I have a long way to go. I'm a kind of person that likes thinking about his achievements, but I can't look back at them and think about anything good because of it.

    Also, I'd like to code for money. I feel that besides helping with my budget, it could help me with understanding what the market needs from an average junior dev. The problem here is that I'm under 18, so a) no real company would hire me part-time and b) i can't work on upwork/freelancer.org. This hurts :c

    If needed for anything, my GH account: http://github.com/redspl/ Most of my newer code isn't there yet tho :x

    I hope that somebody could share his/hers experience and/or help in any way. Thanks in advance.

    Need someone to read over my C++ code. I'm getting a segfault/SIGSEGV error and I don't know why.

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 12:27 AM PDT

    I'd really appreciate it if someone could PM me so I could show you my code. I don't feel comfortable sharing it openly because it's for a project and tons of people I know frequent this sub. Thanks.

    I am trying to make a list of linked pdf documents on a website searchable.

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 12:14 AM PDT

    Is there already a tool for this that I am not aware of? Or do I need to create this from scratch? I'm not sure I am looking at the right places. Some tips on how to go about programming this would be appreaciated.

    It's this website https://www.utcourts.gov/cal/ that has links to large pdf files that are updated daily. And I want to create a way to search all of them collectively.

    Database to store button presses

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 08:04 AM PDT

    Say that I have a website and the only reason I need a database is to store the amount of clicks on a certain button, can/should I use something simple like sqlite or a text file for the task and if not what would be the appropriate tool for the job?

    Looking for a good programming tutorial for teaching adults who only have an elementary school level education.

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 07:07 PM PDT

    I have some people I know who are quite motivated adults but for whatever reason have only basically elementary level mathematics skills and early high school reading skills. No knowledge of trigonometry or advanced high school algebra and they would like to learn how to code.

    Looking for something to cement the fundamentals in binary logic,modular arithmetic, arrays pseudocode logic, truth tables , loops and then basic algorithmic design and oop principles any suggestions.

    Without overwhelming them with too much math or cs concepts at first.

    They will be learning java but I think most of the very basics are language independent.

    Basically a book or youtube playlist that is for a real real beginners but at the same time does not oversimplify programming too much.

    Thank you

    Learning Java - Why doesn't this work?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 10:17 PM PDT

    //create an array with 2 integers, if statement to test wether the first integer is greater than the second. if it is, display something in the logs.

    public class testingIfstatements {

    `public static void main(String[] args) {` `int[] numbers = {18, 21 };` `if (numbers[1] > numbers[0]) {` `System.out.println("The second number is greater");` `} else {` `System.out.println("The first number is greater");` `}` `}` `}` 

    I am trying to learn Java, but I dont understand why the above doesn't work, but if I drop the last curly bracket it works fine?

    If I run the above code it says:

    Compilation Errors Detected

    Line: 25

    class, interface, or enum expected

    Pokémon Text-based adventure help

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 10:07 PM PDT

    So I want to create a Pokémon text-based game in java but I'm a little unsure of how i should organize everything. The game is going to be fighting wild Pokémon of different attributes and then gym leaders. I'd like a general idea of where i will use polymorphism , abstract classes, interfaces, and generics.

    How do I write a condition that says all elements in the list need to be a specific list of symbols?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 09:02 AM PDT

    I'm using DrRacket beginner language and I want my function to produce true if a certain list of conditions are met and I'm stuck on this last one, where all inputted symbols in my list need to be 'a 'b or 'c, and false otherwise.

    I'm thinking maybe I need to make a helper function?

    Something like

    (define (right-symbols? list-of-symbols)

    (cond [(symbol=? (first list-of-symbols) (or 'a 'b 'c))]

    [else false]))??

    But that's not working, help?

    Another option would be to just input into my list of conditions:

    (define (function list-of-symbols)

    (cond [(empty? (first list-of-symbols) true)]

    [(and

    (…)

    (…)

    (has to be 'a 'b or 'c)]

    [else false])))

    [Python 3] Pipes on Windows

    Posted: 14 Oct 2018 09:46 PM PDT

    Hi, so I'm supposed to change some imperative code to functional programming code using pipes instead of intermediate lists(memory). I usually learn from sample codes, modify them a little just to get the hang of it and go from there, but none on the samples I've found online work on windows just on Unix, and the solutions I've found only work for Python 2. So if anyone has any examples or links that work on windows I'd really appreciate it.
