    Do we need to disclose his age when doing contract work?

    Where can I find C++ interview test questions?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 07:29 PM PST

    I have just finished my first C++ course, and I want to solidify my knowledge further.

    Since I intend to find C++ related work in the future I thought it would be a good idea to study common C++ interview test questions. That way I can learn more, and also bone up on my interview skills at the same time.

    Where can I find a bunch of these code assessment questions?

    For example: Code something that iterates over blah using blah blah and output blah. And then an example of the correct way to do it.

    I am willing to pay money for this, it does not need to be a free resource.

    If I am searching things up the whole time is this a sign of being a bad programmer ?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 05:52 PM PST

    I have a big problem when I am programming , I am just searching things up the whole time. I thought as a programmer I should be more original and implement my solutions from scratch.

    I can break down a problem and think of solutions to solve a particular problem but I automatically look up on the internet if I can find those solutions or other examples that I can work from.

    Is this practice a red flag at the work place and will the project manager kick me of the team if he finds out that 90% of the time I am just searching things up on the internet ?

    I am dedicated and persistent in learning programming but I am just afraid that my practices and methods of doing things will not be accepted at the work place.

    My method of doing things are the following.

    Requirement analysis - Functional & Non Functional

    Design - UML diagrams

    Implementation

    1. Break the problem
    2. Think of solutions
    3. Search those solutions on the internet
    4. Work from similar examples
    5. Modify those examples
    6. implement those examples into your project

    Testing

    Maintenance

    I would really appreciate if programmers who work in the industry could give me some advice and information regarding the practices at the workplace.

    Thanks

    Any good resources or PDF textbooks I can find online in regards to computer science?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 05:52 PM PST

    Looking to test the waters by doing some self study to see if I can grasp the understanding of computer science. Not sure which area to go into yet but I'm someone who went to school for business and whatnot. No past experience in computer science but understand the computer science jargon if I had like a beginner's conversation.

    Why computer science? Looking for an educational and career oriented change into that field in the future. Business doesn't guarantee me a decent or high paying job I would like unless if I have a CPA.

    I rather devote my attention to a field in computers/mobile since technology defines our lives and will be even more lucrative in the future. Especially, with jobs being phased out in the distant future due to automation.

    Also, looking to have an edge when I enter school for a bachelor's or something since the paper is somewhat important.

    Sorry if this post gets posted for a millionth time.

    I'd appreciate some copy/pasta links. Thanks a bunch!

    Too Much Front-End, Not Enough Back

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 05:33 PM PST

    TL/DR: I'd like to be able to build a fully functional website before I go into great detail in any one area. I want to be able to handle user authentication, payment processing and access control with a basic front-end.

    Your advice, perspective and direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's what I'd like to be able to do:

    1. Build a basic site with HTML/CSS/JS (I can do this already maybe will use bootstrap)
    2. Handle user login/authentication (I'm in the dark here)
    3. Grant users access to otherwise locked areas of a website based on either payment or approval. (?)
    4. Automate this process, so I don't have to manually grant access to paid/approved users. (?)
    5. Build things like a user forum, profiles, etc. (?)n
    • I'm looking at serverless tech to handle this. Maybe Amazon Cognito with Stripe?
    • I've been building websites since the late 90's... actually, if BBS's count... since the dark ages. I can follow instructions and don't mind wrestling new technologies. But I've never worked with back-end.
    • I've completed the freeCodeCamp.org front-end development projects/curriculum and basic javascript curriculum.

    I'm looking at the freeCodeCamp and Udemy study paths and there is just so much more front-end and javascript than I need to know before I learn to handle authentication. I'd like to adjust my study path to zoom out, look at the whole system, front to back, and then go deep on front/back as time permits.

    Maybe these study paths are designed with the workplace in mind—where your job/role is either front-end or back-end?

    Does that make sense? I guess I'm getting impatient and would like to know what this all looks like. I've been in front-end purgatory for far too long. I know I could just use Wordpress and a combination of plug-ins, but it's sort of a life dream to be able to handle the inner workings of all this.

    Thank you for your time!

    Web Development Bootcamp - Manila

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 09:53 PM PST

    Hi all

    I've been working as a talent acquisition specialist for about 3 years now, and last January 2018 I started learning to code during my free time. I realized that id rather be doing this instead of recruitment. Now ive been very unsatisfied with just learning on my free time (i barely have any) so I'm planning to quit my job and learn full time and consider entering a bootcamp by early 2019.

    I'm from Manila, Philippines, and there's this bootcamp called Tuitt. Here's a link to their site https://tuitt.com/. I'd like to know if there's anyone here who has actually done this? And if you can share your experience.

    FYI,

    The bootcamp goes for 3 months (480 hours) and will train you to be a web developer, they also offer help with landing you a job after the bootcamp.

    According to their website they'll be teaching the following:

    HTML5, CSS3, bootcamp, sass, php, javascript, mysql, laravel,

    Students are also expected to make 3 websites during the bootcamp as portfolio projects

    Thoughts about their curriculum? Does it seem worth it? And does anybody know of another bootcamp worth checking out?

    70 weeks schedule to learn CS

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 04:11 PM PST

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ES4P9-ffKJBYHNToqy0pfrR_Zg2tQJ_qgOIVr5hK4wA/edit#gid=1115838130

    Hello guys, after gathering information from reddit and other sources, I came up with that schedule to teach myself computer science. I would like to have your opinion, especially regarding the order.

    PS: I am already familiar with Python and Discrete Math

    Edit 1 (12/29) : I haven't included front end development, I may include it but probably after the 70 first weeks. I thin I should now focus on the basics.

    EDIT 2 (12/19): I added the links in the comment section. You can see it on the Google Sheet. If there is no link, it's probably because it's a book (you can easily find it for free online).

    Programmers who prefer to program in public rather than in your own home, why?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 11:09 PM PST

    I've been traveling a lot and I recently noticed that a lot of programmers in my area like to be in public areas and do most of their work there, but I never ask them. Is this more comforting than being at home?

    Are side projects really necessary?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 10:59 PM PST

    I am currently working towards a computer science degree. I enjoy the process of coding the programs that we're made to program in our courses, but I don't really have much motivation to work on side projects.

    Does anyone know whether it truly is a necessity to have side projects? Would I be able to still have a satisfying careers in this industry without having to spend hours and hours on the weekends trying to write programs that, probably, others have already written?

    What to do when you hit a roadblock?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 10:26 PM PST

    I was trying to code a side project over the winter break but I hit a roadblock while using an API because I didn't realise that I couldn't do one of the core functions of the side project with it. Do I try a janky workaround which will take some time and might not work well or scrap the idea and try something else while making sure it is possible beforehand?

    From where can I find slides for UIUC's ECE408/CS483

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 10:10 PM PST

    I started to learn Parallel Programming Concepts and GPU Programming (CUDA). I came across NVIDIA's existing courses[1] and came across UIUC's ECE408/CS483. I could access the video lectures but I couldn't find PPTs or PDFs of the slides. Please do share the links for the materials for ECE408/CS483 if you happen to know the location.

    Also, feel free to share links where a newbie can quickly grasp the key concepts of parallel programming and CUDA.

    My goal is to familiar with High Performance Computing, Cloud Computing and Deep Learning areas. I am intending to start my PhD soon in the domain of "LiDAR data processing". I'm in the process of getting familiar with the background knowledge in the technology stack. I created GitHub repository[2] to as a self guide for me to go in the right track.

    I know I sound like a timewarp from the eighties but I need help with BASIC

    I'm working with a 1982 Commodore VIC-20, does anyone know of any books teaching on programming sprites in BASIC? Preferably printed during the eighties because I find those books easier to understand.

    How to learn best techniques for web dev?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 09:17 PM PST

    Hey all,

    I'm a CS student who has always been more into algorithms and systems level development. Lately, I've started doing some basic web app development because I want to develop that skillset as well. I was wondering how I can learn best techniques/pracitces for web dev.

    I feel like there are a lot of ways to do things and some of them feel hacky. E.g) sending data from one page to the next can be done through storing data in querystring, burning data into html on backend, using localstorage, etc.

    Your input and advice is greatly appreciated :)

    Making a program to win a game

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 09:02 PM PST

    Hi guys. I've been playing this scrabble like game on mobile iOS and I wanted to try to create a program to brute force and make words depending on how many letters there are for all possible letter combinations and sizes. I think I have a basic idea of what and how I want to implement it but I'm not sure where to start. Any advice would help. Thanks!

    New to QA Testing

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 12:17 PM PST

    I just received a promotion at my work to become our first QA Tester for about 3 websites with more to come. I had previously been workin IT Support, but between almost having my degree finished(finally) and deploying my own application for another department in the company I guess they thought I was a good fit.

    So as far as testing goes, I understand different test types and I understand top level concepts of the development process (Agile to be specific). I also know that for much of my work I'm going to be using Selenium in conjunction with Jenkins. Of course we are also using Jira for tracking as well. But that is about it... they have never had a tester before and I'm pretty new to the game so I'm also as clueless as they are.

    Does anyone have any sort of resource that could quickly bring me up to speed on some of this or some collection of typical testing architecture diagrams? I'm determined to learn this and get the job done effectively, but currently I'm unsure as to how that will happen.

    Also, this is a RP from r/softwaredevelopment

    Where to go from here?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 08:56 PM PST

    I've been programming relatively simple stuff for a couple years now, in C++, JS, and Python (hobby, and classes), but I've never done anything much more complicated than simple scripts, interfaces (JS/HTML, or PyQT5), and stuff like Discord bots.

    I've looked into more complicated things, like putting an Electron app together, but it seems like there's a lot of already required knowledge for most everything above my level. (Electron? NodeJS knowledge is required. PhaserJS? Needs NodeJS, webpack, babel, yarn, etc) I just get discouraged to start or go very far because there's so much other brand new stuff I have to learn before I can even begin learning what I actually intended to, and then I don't know how far I actually need to go into learning the prereqs before I can start using them.

    I'm just not sure how to move on from "small scripts" to "big apps" in an effective way, what would you guys suggest I work on?

    help making pseudo code for a register form.

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 08:43 PM PST

    method = post

    check if user entered a username, if not return apology.

    check if user entered a password, if not return apology

    check if user entered a confirmation password, if not return apology

    check that password == confirmation password, else return apology

    if ok then store username and password into database

    ------

    Would this work for making a register form that stores user data into a database? In case anyone is wondering I am working with python, php and flask.

    Job Board

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 08:12 PM PST

    I'm trying to create a job board as a side project to learn how to code. Aside from learning html, css and javascript, should i be focusing on any other coding language? is there an open source code on github that might help (i tried searching but I'm not great at navigating github yet)? I thought of looking at some of the html code of established job boards.. not sure if thats a smart idea.

    Looking for some kind of a self-study road map to infosec

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 08:00 AM PST

    tl;dr: I'm a math teacher who knows some Java and C++, so now I'm also a computer science teacher. I program as a hobby, but I've got no experience in the field and I'm not very knowledgeable on how the industry works.

    I have a 10th-grade student who has fallen in love with programming, but is already in the only CS course we offer (AP Computer Science A). She's going to do an independent study next year, and a capstone project her senior year.

    She's deeply interested in hacking and information security, and not in the superficial sort of way. She wants to know everything about hardware, networking, encryption software, and how all the pieces fit together.

    She plans on going to college for CS, followed by grad school. This is the type of student who talks about that in 10th grade, and will actually do it. She wants to be internship or job-ready by graduation, so she can gain concrete work experience while studying the theoretical side in college.

    I feel like I'm not really qualified to steer her in the right direction. My degree was in pure math, and everything I know about programming was self-taught as a hobby. Unfortunately, that makes me the only teacher on campus with any CS knowledge at all.

    Following a COMPTIA A+ study guide seems like it could be a solid, structured approach to learning this material, but I'm not really sure if that's the right approach to take.

    Any suggestions on projects or goals we could set for her would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!
