    I recommend watchandcode.com to anyone who wants to learn the basics of programming!

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 03:31 AM PST

    watch and code is a free series of short video tutorials on javascript. It is aimed at complete beginners with no prior coding experience. What makes it really stand out is the fact that during the course you learn everything by building a todo-app. This is very good as it perfectly shows you how to apply the code to build something.

    Despite the fact, that the course is taught in Javascript, it is still a very good intro to pretty much every programming language, as it shows the basics (like loops, variable, functions etc.). It also teaches you how to properly structure your code.

    If you want to start your programming adventure, but you are completely unsure from which resources to learn, definitely check out https://watchandcode.com/

    How to get better at competitive programming?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 06:29 PM PST

    Hello! I study computer engineering and the first time I heard about competitive programming was in my freshman year. I have tried to get involved in it, studied fundamentals in data structures and practiced with problems in some popular webpages. I do well in easy and some medium difficulty level problems but, when I try harder ones, my solution is not the most efficient or I can't even come with one. I know some classmates that competitive program since high school or that their hobby is solving these problems. I know practice makes perfect but, are there any sources like webpages, books or courses online that teach methods or useful algorithms to improve competitive programming skills? What do you recommend to get better? Thanks!

    Experienced programmers of reddit, what's your approach to learning a new programming language?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 06:00 PM PST

    I was wondering what approaches experienced developers take when learning a new language. Do you go through the tutorial on the languages' official site? Do you glance at the docs then start hacking away at a small project? Do you read a few high level articles about the language first?

    Any good online resources for learning about how backend web development works?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 11:37 PM PST

    I want to understand what servers, cookies, loading, and all that other mumbo jumbo is and how it all interconnects.

    I have a good grasp of front end development but want to get into some backend but feel like i just don't have a good grasp on how to start. I'd like to learn more about how it all works.

    Anyone had success after Colt Steele's Full Stack Udemy course?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 09:19 AM PST

    I am really enjoying this course, about 70% done. I know that is still beginner levels after this is done, but wondering if anyone jumped into a job straight after doing this? I'm expecting some imposter syndrome if I manage to get a job. I also want to learn some more and build out some cool things from tutorials and learn python. But dont want to be stuck doing tutorials.

    Ultimately, I'm a firm believer in the fastest way to learn to swim is to jump in the deep end.

    Interested in hearing anyone elses journey post Colt Steel's course...

    Open Source project looking for people trying to transition into software development career

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 06:18 PM PST

    I'm one of the main devs for a very large Open Source project . We really go out of our way to create issues/tasks that are easy for people getting started with coding / open source. It's minimal work that involves helping with something to do with JS, HTML, or PHP usually. We are more than happy to help you through the issue.

    Obviously you would be able to cite this on your resume and quite frankly it is resume experience gold. It also helps make the world a better place.

    If you have, I'm not kidding, just a few weeks experience in JS/HTML you probably should reach out and I can send you more info. We can also create a "ladder" of tasks that get more and more advanced so you get more experience / things to say you did.

    I work really really hard to make the project a really valuable place for those learning software development, so if you could reach out if your're interested in helping I would appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Are there any bootcamps that offer both deffered payment (like app academy) and some sort of living / housi g arrangement as well?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 11:49 PM PST

    I'm not in a very good place financially. I'm currently working a minimum wage job and am struggling to get by or save very much money at all. I've been teaching myself how to code for the past several months and have a really solid foundation laid out for myself. I want to break into the industry by attending a bootcamp, but I couldn't afford to pay for food and housing while also attending a bootcamp.

    Are there any reputable bootcamps that would subsidize these costs while I'm attending so that I wouldn't have to pay it back until I've been placed? I know it sounds desperate but it seems like my only option right now.

    Drag n drop functionality using js not working for my own customized code.

    I am trying to add the drag n drop functionality in my web-page. But it doesn't seem to work after I made some changes. Also, is there a way to have only one `Choose file` button, I have two as of now and the 'click here' doesn't seem to work. I have my code here:

    [ NODE.js ] https server not starting, trying to start http and https simultaneously, http weirdly responding twice.

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 11:08 PM PST

    directory structure

    I am following a course, so what I am trying to created two different server instances, one is http and another is https.

    but I don't know https server isn't responding (ie browser show it can't access the page) but the http one is actually working.

    and also sometime it weirdly responds to a request twice.. I don't know why.

    my code -- separated by lines

    output when I start the server

    🌈 uptime-monitoring-app >> NODE_ENV=production node app.js HTTP Server @ 5000 Environment : production --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HTTPs Server @ 5001 Environment : production |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 

    when I hit the get request from the browser to localhost:5000/about it got two requests, I don't know why?

    🌈 uptime-monitoring-app >> NODE_ENV=production node app.js ... |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| notFoundHandler <<----- handled the request Returning this response : {} aboutHandler <<----- handled the request Returning this response : {"name":"about handler"} 

    now if from the same page if I hit the localhost:5000/ it weirdly responding to 2 requests

    now its calling the aboutHandler as well as the notFoundHandler as well.

    🌈 uptime-monitoring-app >> NODE_ENV=production node app.js ... |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| notFoundHandler <<----- handled the request Returning this response : {} aboutHandler <<----- handled the request Returning this response : {"name":"about handler"} notFoundHandler <<----- handled the request Returning this response : {} notFoundHandler <<----- handled the request Returning this response : {} 

    but if I got to localhost:50001/ It shows error. the page can't be reached error

    though there is no output on the terminal.. cursor is at the same point.

    ____________________ Update ____________________

    I found this weird behaviour only in the browser, (safari) I don't see anything weird if I use postman. What is going on. please help

    I think its a browser issue as the https api was hitting and actually generating the output, but it can be seen using postman. browser doesn't show error that the connection is not private.

    Learning new language for work, how long to get good as beginner?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 10:49 PM PST

    Hi all, wondering how fast do you think/have you picked up a new programming language for work? I've asked to get more involved technically at work since I'm quite free in the helpdesk role and the dev team have kindly helped me set up the dev environment on my laptop. I've taken exactly 1 programming course in college in C/C++, this work project is in php where the data is all called via sql server. Opening up the files, I recognise the general structure as somewhat similar to C but I'm amazed that the code is much shorter than i expected (most files <100 lines).

    Right now, I've made it my task to debug a ticket and I know roughly which if statement that is having the issue but the information is being called from an sql table and it may be the way the tables are being joined. So now not only do I have to learn up on php, I have to pick up sql as well. I'm taking night classes in programming as well but right now I'm definitely feeling the sharp incline in difficulty at a work environment.

    This tic tac toe AI doesn't work for some reason.

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 10:47 PM PST

    It's in C++. Here's the source code:

    https://github.com/maximilian2000/Programs/blob/master/NoughtsAndCrosses.cpp

    https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14MwzdQIkp-EFsZdxbexfd0I7HhjztQVj?usp=sharing

    The game works perfectly when you select to play the game with no AI, but crashes as soon as the computer tried to make a move with the AI.

    Networking - What exactly are sockets

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 10:36 PM PST

    An endpoint is basically an IP and a Port bound together, right? So what is a socket? A single endpoint? I'm watching videos on the topic and I still don't understand it completely.

    What kind of jobs can I do with his experience + skill?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 10:17 PM PST

    I'm applying for web developer jobs and I'm not really sure where I stand. I have worked 2 years commercially but the company I worked at didn't use GIT, unit testing and I worked independently without working on other developer's code. I did write a lot of code with HTML/CSS, jQuery and C# though. Almost every company uses GIT, unit testing and CI which I'm not experienced with, however I've been using git with basics like branching and merging and some frameworks for a few weeks to try get up to date. What type of jobs should I apply for?

    Resume:

    git workflow for solo projects

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 06:28 PM PST

    Whats your git workflow like for solo projects? Do you just push to master or do you guys take advantage of branches, tags, and other features.

    I have no problems learning/using git. I'm just re-evaluating my old habbits.

    Correct way of creating relations between tables in SQL

    Could someone help me and tell me what is the correct way of creating relations between tables?

    I prefer A cause its less of a clusterfuck but some of my friends say to do B when doing a relation between two or more tables

    when and when not to use sudo

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 02:01 PM PST

    sudo npm i is needed but sudo causes a wall of permissions errors using create-react-app. What is the underlying difference? Is there a way to know this in advance or do you just need to resort to test and uninstall if sudo is used/not used correctly?

    Programming without internet connection

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 01:56 PM PST

    I've been programming in python for a few months now and want to keep the grind going to mastery but will soon be going months on end without any internet access. Is it possible to download libraries on an external drive along with documentation on how to use it? Would downloading these libraries allow me to import them to my program?

    To-do App: in need of some guidance

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 11:42 AM PST

    I've been trying to learn web development the "slow way", that is, trying to learn the fundamentals of javascript well before diving into frameworks. So I've been building a basic pomodoro/to-do list web app. Initially I copied a tutorial and saved my to-dos as objects in local storage. The app works, but now I want to make the next step and make it a "real world" app, so that means I'm gonna need a database and an authentication system, right? The thing is, I realized you learn by doing, you can't be doing tutorials all the time, but to implement this I need nodeJs (or a backend language) and database knowledge, at the very least? So, basically, my question is, how do I proceed working on my app without having to stop like a month to learn nodeJS and mongoDB or SQL.

    Where to start with Fluid Simulation?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2019 09:13 PM PST

    I'd like to play around with Fluid Simulation and maybe make my own version of something like this:

    https://github.com/PavelDoGreat/WebGL-Fluid-Simulation

    Where can I go to find good libraries/resources to learn how to make things like this? I'm having a difficult time with google searches - getting lots of google scholar type articles.

    Thanks!
