    [Help] Google Custom Search API

    Posted: 11 Mar 2019 03:04 AM PDT

    I am an SEO professional. I perform keyword research and review the keywords' competitiveness against other pages (based on my research on Google by typing in allintitle: {keyword I am trying to target}).

    It is time assuming so I hired someone to build me a tool that allows me to plug in a list of keywords into the tool and then show me the number of results based on allintitle: {keyword}. He can create the tool by using Google custom search API.

    He has built it, but the number of result is different from the tool vs. real time. Of course I am not asking for perfection, but his number is off like 9 vs 189. That truly throws off the data I am trying to gather.

    I tried to learn as much as possible - this is their explanation - https://support.google.com/customsearch/answer/70392?hl=en

    My question is - is there another way to bypass?

    Hey, for learning c++ on linux, all you need is g++ and command line right?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2019 11:40 AM PDT

    I keep going back and forth on linux and windows, only reason is when learning c++ i found visual studio to be amazing..

    But now during my course the instructor briefly whent over compiling from command line. I did it and while ofcouse take a bit more writing, i found the error messages to be better and more specific / detailed than on visual studio..

    ​

    before switching back to linux and leaving vs, just wanted to confirm that g++ and the command line is all you need to create / run c++ programs for learning?

    Web Development technologies - which are the best to start & learn for 2019?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2019 02:49 PM PDT

    Hi r/learnprogramming,

    Basically I am a Computer Science graduate as of 2017 and haven't really been coding at all since I graduated - worked some generic office jobs and went travelling for 6 months.

    I have recently realized that I my real passion is for design, and the best way to combine my CS background and design (to get a decent job) would be to do Full Stack Web Development. However, my CS course barely touched on FS web development, much to my dismay, rather it focused on real computational theory and Java programming. So I kind of have to start from the bottom up, I mean I know a bit of CSS, HTML and Javascript from multimedia modules at Uni, but not enough to get a job.

    With that in mind, I am currently about halfway through Colt Steele's Web Developer BootCamp course on uDemy and really enjoying it so far, but I've been reading a lot of stuff recently saying he only goes skin deep on a wide range of different web technologies. So I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of what web technologies would make me desirable to an employer in 2019, that I could then pursue after I've finished this course?

    TL;DR - want to learn full stack web development (have a CS degree) - what technologies would be good to learn in 2019?

    Thanks guys

    I'm writing a book on Python... and it's FREE!

    Posted: 10 Mar 2019 02:16 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I've always been interested in teaching programming to others and I'm a strong believer in the fact that you don't know something completely until you teach it, so I thought it would be a good idea to write a book on Python.

    I'm releasing it for free to read online.

    It's aimed at complete beginners so if that's you check it out!

    I'm releasing it early (why not) and adding at minimum, a chapter per week.

    I've really been enjoying the process of writing it and each chapter comes with a set of challenging enough exercises.

    I'm also open to improvements and if you think it can be improved anywhere just email (email on the site).

    You can check it out here: http://www.slitherintopython.com

    Let me know what you guys think!

    [java] What is the purpose of properties?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2019 02:32 AM PDT

    This YT tutorial shows you how to use properties but it doesn't tell you WHY you should use them. I gather from this thread that properties are for automatically updating the GUI when values change. Is that the end of their use or there's more?

    How to repeat the same number using a loop

    Posted: 10 Mar 2019 08:30 PM PDT

    Title says it all. The goal is to make a table using a loop that looks like this. If x=3 for the rows and y=4 for the columns, it would look like this:

    1 2 3

    1 2 3

    1 2 3

    1 2 3

    ​

    So far, I wrote a for loop, but it increases the numbers due to my incrementation. I tried it without incrementation and I just got an infinite loop. I was wondering if anyone can help me with the step of repeating the same number on the left. This is what I have so far.

    ​

    #include "pch.h"

    #include <iostream>

    ​

    using namespace std;

    ​

    int main() {

    ​

    ​

    for (int x = 1; x < 4; x++) { cout << x << endl; }

    ​

    return 0;

    }

    From Code Newbie to CTO of a Ycombinator backed startup

    Posted: 10 Mar 2019 08:18 PM PDT

    Hey Code newbies,

    I know learning to code can be tough at times.

    Chasing bugs for hours, only to realize that you misspelled a variable name or left out a semicolon;

    I wanted to share some words of encouragement to reassure you that learning to code is absolutely worth it.

    ------------------------------------------

    Five years ago, I was a total code newbie. If you showed me a piece of code I wouldn't know what to do with it.

    Now I'm the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of a venture backed startup called Career Karma (YCombinator) helping people get jobs in tech.

    I remember, the hardest thing in the very beginning was finding the time to code. We all live busy lives, so making that extra hour to code after work at times seemed impossible.

    Discipline:
    It took me months of "on and off" again learning and doing tutorials to develop a habit where I can sit for 2 hours straight and focus on building a simple html page or solving a JavaScript toy problem.

    For reference, now I can sit and code for 6-8 hours straight with time passing by.

    If you're worried that you won't get there. Don't worry, you will. Its like going to the gym - being disciplined and consistent is everything.

    Tutorial purgatory:
    After a few months of learning the basics of JavaScript, I got a subscription to Udemy and started my journey through tutorial purgatory.

    I would pick a JavaScript for beginners course. Blindly copy everything that the instructor did. And midway through the course, I would get bored and would move on to the next tutorial that seemed more interesting.

    After a few months, I realized that I was moving in place. I still couldn't build any project from scratch and most importantly I didn't have the confidence to explore on my own.

    Learning how to learn:
    One day I decided I would build a chat app no matter what.

    I struggled tremendously, because there was no instructor to guide me or answers to look up. I had to figure it out on my on using google, stack overflow and GitHub.

    Interestingly, it was after I built that app that I knew I had what it takes to become an engineer - learning how to learn is the secret to becoming great at coding.

    Every single day, I'm solving I'm faced with technical issues and bugs I've never seen before. Being a software engineer is getting comfortable not knowing the answer but believing that the answer is out there and you will find it!

    --------------------------------------

    There were tons of people around me who helped me how to code and I want to pay it forward.

    If you're someone who is starting to learn how to code or exploring bootcamps, direct message me and I will add you to a group of people I'm mentoring.

    Look forward to seeing all of your coding journeys!

    Images as buttons in HTML / JavaScript?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2019 12:12 AM PDT

    For my assessment task I need to make a game using HTML . I want to make a button that, when clicked, changes how it looks and it's value and is able to be reversed. I've got an image of an off light switch and can make it change to on but I can't turn it back or assign any variables to it. I don't know if this makes sense, sorry. I'm very new to this so please ELI5. Thank you :)

    WordPress vs website (html/css/js) from scratch?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2019 12:04 AM PDT

    A local business in my small town has no website and I casually spoke to the owner about creating a website for them. They need nothing more than a simple landing page with hours and location on it.

    When is WordPress better to use rather than creating the site from scratch?

    And also are WordPress sites portfolio worthy?

    Having trouble displaying an array of objects (C++)

    Posted: 10 Mar 2019 11:27 PM PDT

    Hello, I'm a beginner at C++, and I'm currently REALLY struggling to write a program. Here are my files:

    ​

    Prog4.cpp https://pastebin.com/0jDZxPJF

    Prog4_Func.cpp https://pastebin.com/X4BfxYRL

    Program.h https://pastebin.com/pC1wQACb

    Edit: Diagram of my program to help explain further: https://imgur.com/a/O2zmZ77 ​

    So the problem I'm having is in my Prog4.cpp file, line 59. What I'm currently trying to do is display an item, along with its other descriptions (for context, read comment at top of the Prog4.cpp file). I am not sure if I'm doing anything right with my array of objects correctly. Any help is appreciated, thanks!!!

    ​

    Also, I have two other questions. Am I dynamically allocating an array correctly? Is my code for collecting data (inputs) from the user correct?

    How hard is coding and what makes it so difficult?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2019 04:29 AM PDT

    I'm teaching myself using online courses and currently in the "honeymoon stage" as they call it and for the most part, things have been relatively smooth and not too frustrating. I already know this would be too good to be true if it lasted forever. I feel like there's a huge storm coming later down the road.

    How should I prepare for it and handle it when I get to that point? Or am I just overthinking things to the point of anxiety?

    Newbie: web app vs phone app

    Posted: 10 Mar 2019 06:45 PM PDT

    I have read the FAQ :)

    I want to create something for my self. Initially I wanted to make an APP, but have been advised that a web app might be an easier first step in the process.

    Can a completed web app be easily turned into a phone app later on, once I know more about what I'm doing?

    Important notes: I haven't yet chosen a language to start learning yet, I'm the complete infancy of my journey.

    Google Calendar scope not giving access to calendars?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2019 09:54 PM PDT

    So I'm trying to write a simple ionic app with firebase that allows a user to sign in with Google and have access to their calendars. At the moment, I'm just trying to get a console log of the users calendars.

    Here's my code for sign in:

     firebase.initializeApp(config); this.provider = new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider(); this.provider.addScope('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar'); auth = () =>{ firebase.auth().signInWithPopup(this.provider).then( (res) => { console.log(firebase.auth().currentUser) }) }

    So basically, I use the provider.addScope but when I log the currentUser there's no information about calendars whatsoever. What can I do?

    How do I tell anti-viruses my programs are not viruses?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2019 03:53 PM PDT

    I write small utility programs via batch for helping run tabletop RPGs. They are glorified dice roll/table lookups which with one click do whatever they are supposed to do, then either creates a .txt file with the results and opens it to show you, or displays the results in terminal. They usually also create a directory to save everything they generate so you can go back and see what old results were. Sometimes I'll compile the .bats into .exes so I can make them run without the terminal window visible, but not always.

    Recently I started sharing these programs with friends over the internet. Apparently their anti-viruses will flag each and every program I write, .exe or otherwise. Nothing I've written is malicious, but since some of them make and delete .txt files as part of how they work I can see how an anti-virus might think they are malicious code.

    How do I make sure that they don't register as viruses?

    Class Prototype - JavaScript

    Posted: 10 Mar 2019 09:29 PM PDT

    Hi, I'm learning how to code in JavaScript and I've run into a problem with learning class prototypes. I can't seem to figure out how to solve this. I keep trying different methods and checking my code over and over again. I'm still receiving an error code: "TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'prototype.greeting = function () { return `Hello, it is nice to meet you!`; }') (line 6)"

    ​

    Sorry in advance for the awful formatting, I'm not sure how to make this an easy read.

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________

    Here is the question that I'm trying to solve:

    ​

    function exerciseOne(UserClass){

    // Exercise One: In this exercise you are given a class called UserClass.

    // You will be adding a method to the prototype called greeting

    // This method will return the string: 'Hello, it is nice to meet you!'

    // DO NOT create a new class or object

    // Please write your code in the lines above

    return UserClass

    }

    ​

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________

    ​

    Here is the code I wrote:

    ​

    prototype.greeting = function (){

    return `Hello, it is nice to meet you!`;

    };

    var prototype = new greeting;

    ​

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________
