| Posted: 27 Dec 2018 10:22 AM PST Project demonstration VIDEO LINK : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXHk9XybZmU My first raspbery pi project (All feedback and suggestions are welcome :) Our project targets physically challenged (specifically mute and blind) people. Our glove has four modes - one for mute people and the other three for blind people. MODES FOR BLIND PEOPLE : 1.Obstacle Detection: To make it easier for blind people to walk safely, our glove uses proximity sensor and a buzzer to alert the user if he is too close to an obstacle. He can get a sense of his surroundings using the glove. Also, we have taken care to avoid false alarms (like when an insect flies by the sensor, buzzer will not beep) by taking an average of the last five values recorded. 2.Hand Typing: This enables the blind man to type in his computer by touching the fingertips of the glove by his other arm. We are using binary encoding scheme to interpret different combinations. This feature is helpful as it is difficult for a blind person to adjust to different keyboard layouts, especially if there is no one to guide him. 3.Computer/Music player control: Using hand gestures, the blind person can move to next song in playlist, fast forward by a fixed number of seconds in song, increase volume etc. in his laptop / PC. MODES FOR MUTE PEOPLE 4.Talking Glove: This feature enables a mute person to convey his message to other people by making different signs using his fingers for different audio messages which are played using a speaker on the glove Title edit : Actually its 1.5 years of experience [link] [comments]  |
| Kindle eReader device for programming books? Posted: 27 Dec 2018 11:43 PM PST I have just started to learn coding and realised books do help a lot than tutorial videos. But I cannot buy books as there is no space in my room. So I was planning to buy a kindle eReader but I'm not sure whether this device would be ideal and supports programming books. ie the flow-charts, diagrams and stuffs... [link] [comments]  |

| How to Scrape Website with clicks Posted: 28 Dec 2018 12:30 AM PST Hey guys, So I basically need to scrape two fields in a web data base and output the data on to two columns on a excel file. I am completely new to this so any help would be appreciated.The first step would be clicking the name of the person then extracting two fields of information from the details. I would then hit the back button the browser and repeat this process for all the other names on the list. There is approximately 25,000 names, any idea on how to write a script for this would be amazing , thanks in advance ! [link] [comments]  |
| How do I deal with bad management making rash decisions? Posted: 28 Dec 2018 12:07 AM PST I'm just here to vent. I have a manager, who is a SQL Database Data Architect. He created a SQL Server Data Warehouse with a team of people few years ago. Apparently he does not like it, so he restarting the data warehouse from scratch , last project never even launched, and he is taking another 3 years to work on this. He is making rash decisions, from our ETL process being slow, to no test automation, to no naming convention, no coding standards, No Devops, No Builds/Deployments, no code review, no performance benchmark testing, not sure what to do. I think I will quit. Any advice working for management, or data architects like this? Everytime I hear a strange story in the workplace, people always say to quit. Truth is, there are strange things going on at every workplace. Any words of wisdom? [link] [comments]  |
| Need Help With Javascript and the Twitter API Posted: 27 Dec 2018 11:13 PM PST I am trying to make a simple Twitter web app so am using NodeJS and am trying to break everything down to modules/functions. One function which returns a search result is one of these modules but when I import it am not sure how to use it without errors. in main I have something like. let Twit = require("twit"); let printSearch = require("./utility/printSearch.js"); //This is to get the search data T.get("search/tweets", params, printSearch); printSearch(err,data,response); I know the print search function works because if I just place it in the main app above it works fine. I just don't know how to insert the printSearch as a third parameter in T.Get. When I use typescript it tells me that when I call the function the err data and response are not found. I am not sure how those three objects work in the Twitter API. [link] [comments]  |
| C++ Custom iterator class for custom containers thaeg uses stl containers unferlying Posted: 27 Dec 2018 11:10 PM PST I have an Homework like that and i wrote some classes but i have an issue about iterator. It have to be helper class and when i ask my professor he said it needs to be seperate class not inner. Also in base Collection class i have an function that names iterator and i think it needs to return iterator object. But how can i use this as a general iterator? Should i define begin and end function? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Dec 2018 06:53 PM PST Hello /r/learnprogramming, Sonny again from Codecademy. Just wanted to say thank you and thank you for being such an incredible community in 2018. Many of you have inspired me to be a better developer and educator, and also fight for the things that I believe within the company. A lot of stuff happening in 2019 so get ready. Here's me making a fool of myself teaching if statements in C++: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puMne8pqmxw&t=119s and there is a code challenge at the end! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

| How to Break Into the Tech Industry—a Guide to Job Hunting and Tech Interviews Posted: 27 Dec 2018 01:43 PM PST I see a lot of coding beginners go astray when it comes to landing a role as a professional dev. Many of them spend months honing their portfolios when there's little upside relative to improving their resumes and technical interview skills. One of my former coworkers wrote a pretty great guide to breaking into the tech industry. Hope it helps someone. https://haseebq.com/how-to-break-into-tech-job-hunting-and-interviews/ [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 27 Dec 2018 01:12 PM PST I've googled a few times why there's such things as private variables as well as public, and I came across this today:
What does he mean? Programmers are already inside the program, able to change everything about the program. How do private variables essentially lock out the possibility of these variables from getting messed up? I dont understand. does it just make it harder to mess up because its not in the same file as the main? Or because it's labeled private? I just cant help bit view this as trying to keep a little kid out of an area with one of those little gates. But we're all grown adults who should know what we're doing, why is that necessary?

| Is it possible I’m just not built for programming? Posted: 27 Dec 2018 11:41 PM PST I'm sorry if this sounds like a bitch post, but I'm just so damn frustrated with everything All I want is to be somebody, work with computers and make a decent living some day. I've tried so hard to learn to code and I'm in that "valley of despair" phase where I need to start learning theory and CS and stuff but none of it is clicking with me. Podcasts and articles/books are so dry and dull I cannot follow and absorb the contents, I can never come up with ideas that I can work on that are feasible in my skill set, and I'm on the brink of giving up. I haven't coded for over three months because of this frustration. I just cannot figure any of this out. Could it be I'm not built for this? [link] [comments]  |
| Automation Testing Training Institute in ahmedabad Posted: 27 Dec 2018 11:15 PM PST Automated software testing is a better alternative to manual testing, because it enables the software companies to run tests quickly.in TOPS you learn how to test design techniques and be proficient in test management, static testing and dynamic testing.

| Confusion over functions, arguments, parameters. I can't seem to get my head around it Posted: 27 Dec 2018 05:16 PM PST I'm learning python and am a complete newbie. Okay so sample code. Okay so I get the usefulness of functions. You can call by using helloFunk() instead of copy and pasting over and over. return seems to make helloFunk() give the value of "{} Hello!".format(greeting). I'm confused here. What's the point of this. Then I get further confused when they add in I believe it's called the argument greeting. So the "hi" goes into greeting argument? I'm just so lost. Can someone explain like I'm 5, I can't seem to grasp this. [link] [comments]  |

| Time to get back on that developer grind. Posted: 27 Dec 2018 03:34 PM PST I don't know how to really start this but it is going to be long and a way of holding myself accountable. To start off with, I first discovered development when I was 16 (31 now) I started off using a notepad, some html and css and making Livejournal layouts and custom themes for people (Do people still remember LiveJournal?) Drop out of high school (Had surgery and couldn't make up the days and fuck spending another 2 years to make it up). Aced my GED, start college and I get a 2 year associates degree in web development. It was full stack, I knew how to do everything. Work some dead-end jobs and keep up with coding for a while, finally decide to go for my bachelor's cause that seems to be what everyone is telling me to do. Go to 4 year college, find out my credits don't transfer because my school of all things wasn't accredited. Didn't get discouraged though, sucked it up, and put my best foot forward. Get half way through a CS degree and decide this is just a repeat of nearly everything I already know (I am making straight A's in every coding class and most math classes) and then I make prolly one of the worst decisions of my life and switch to a Technical Communications degree over the fall out with a CS teacher. (She said I put too many comments in my code for a group project, there was a whopping 17 comments for 600 lines of code basically detailing my logic for the rest of the group who at the time had no idea how to do the things I was doing.) Technical Communications was a mish mash of graphical design and marketing. I took it because I wanted to be able to bridge the gap between a marketing department and a developer. Get almost done and realize that I sorely miss programming, but it is too late to switch back so I start taking free courses online and get a minor in CS (Which was like 2 classes cause of my prior major) and I get into the capstone senior portfolio class for CS as well! Built a whole website, with a database and interactivity for a charity foundation, they ended up not going with our site and one of a wonderful person in my group decided to delete all of it cause they didn't use it before we could use it on our portfolios. I can't describe the rage that was felt by all of us towards that poor girl. And yes I know I should've kept a backup but at the time I was doing 17 credit hours with two capstone classes and doing freecodecamp at the same time as well. It slipped my mind. So I graduate, with honors and a major in Technical Communications with a minor in CS. 3 months go by and no coding jobs, nothing actually. I break down and take what would be the worst job I have ever had. Networking support over the phone for a VOIP provider. I am not going to go into the details but some cliff notes include a crazy micro manager that caused me to have not one but TWO panic attacks on the clock, including one where I fell on the ground in the middle of an attack and she continued to berate me. Then there was a shining light of hope. I had kept coding everyday even with the shit job. My friend told me about an apprentice shop at his company. They like to hire people in as apprentices to teach them how they code and then hire them full time to a developer position. I was so excited, I went in, nailed the interview, nailed the coding test, and was hired within 2 weeks. Everything was amazing. It was so hard but I got through it and learned so much. So very much during this time. I finally felt like I had made it, I really did, I was so excited, I had dispoable income, I was paying my student loands,I moved in with my girlfriend. Life was fucking amazing, 10/10 would reccomend. Then came the gut punch. It came to the end of my apprenticeship, and I got called into the head managers office. Every progress report I had got glowing reviews and even told I was a very good, precise, coder and I knew how to comment my code well to boot! The gut punch came when upper management didn't want to give them more money for coders and the only way to keep my job would be to move to Detroit. Now before you say "YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT YA DUMB SHIT" I had just signed a lease for a house, my girlfriend and me had just celebrated 2 years and I wouldn't trade her for anyting (I went on about 50-100 "Coffee Dates" before I met her, fuck ever doing that again) so I told them I couldn't do it. 2 weeks later I got let go. The next 3 months I kept my head up and still coded every day, sent out resumes, pushed to my GitHub repo, and stayed pretty active. I had saved up quite a penny before I lost my job and I got a nice bonus before leaving. Then the depression kicked in pretty hard. I suffer from a handful of mental illnesses including severe depression. My motivation went out the window, I started playing WOW again, got back into mythic raiding, put on 60 lbs, etc. I still kept applying like mad, to anything I could. The company I worked at still gave me glowing references. I just didn't code everyday. Over the year and few months I have sent out over 524 resumes. I dropped 300 dollars to get a professional resume and a cover letter and after all that I have gotten 3 interviews. First one I passed with flying colors and did great, but they wanted someone with less experience because "I would join and leave instantly for something better." 2nd one I thought I had in the bag. They put me through 4 interviews, a live coding test, a take home coding test, and a literal phone interview with the OWNER of the company who said I pretty much had the job no problem and I was great. Then I didn't hear from them for 3 weeks. I sent emails, I called and left voicemails, but to no avail. They were a 100% remote company so I had no brick and mortar office to go to. And finally the 3rd company. This was the last interview I had. I did a virtual interview, and I did a 20 question coding test. Now on the coding test, there was a question about data structures. I was really rusty on that and even explained it in my answer (Google was locked during the test like I couldn't even tab alt without it freaking out and locking me out of the test) so I did the best I could. I got 19/20 correct. They even said I interviewed the best and they were impressed I actually wore a suit for it! They didn't hire me over that single question. So I finally hit my wits end. I am about to start a 3rd shift position at a grocery store with an 85% turnover rate because it is so nerve wracking, just to pay my bills. Now I didn't write all this out for sympathy, I just wanted to get it off my chest. I am writing this as a.....reminder to myself. When I finally start my 3rd shift position I am going to code for at least a hour for 90 days. I have no idea what I am going to build yet, I have full stack knowledge and I know going through another "Hello world" tutorial would make me kill a small child. I am writing this as a testament that shit was great and now it is the worst it could be, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. My goal is to have least 4 - 5 projects finished in that time. Then spend the next 90 days applying like mad, finding as many coding jobs as I can and applying. I don't even care if I make less than optimal developer pay. I just want to code, it has been my passion since I was 16. Logic...just speaks to me and I can solve it so easily. So /r/learnprogramming I am writing this as a testament that I am going to do this and I am not going to give up until I do. I have two degrees, 3 years of experience, and a wealth of knowledge between development and marketing pratices. I am not going to give up. If you actually made it through all of this you're the real MVP. TLDR : Been coding since a teenager, had an awesome development job, lost it due to relocation issues, depression hit, about to work at a grocery store to make ends meet, getting back on the coding horse and not giving up this time.

| I don’t know what to learn next Posted: 27 Dec 2018 10:42 PM PST So I just finished a first year programming course at my university and the most complex things I've used are recursive data structures/ sorts. I'm on break right now and I don't really know what I should learn next, since I'm so used to structured learning. I'm starting some small projects so I can learn stuff about networking and gui, but is there anything I can do to ensure I don't miss any important fundamental concepts?? [link] [comments]  |
