    Is The Odin Project a good start for software engineering?

    Im looking to career change and i am interested in this resource. I know that it is a life long journey and a gradual thing to become accomplished and capable, however im unsure if TOP will take me in that direction if i choose?
    Is this solely for web development? If so, is that still something i can springboard off of down the line into a more niched area like security/cloud etc?

    Is WPF still relevant in 2019?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 06:40 AM PDT

    Is c# wpf for desktop applications still relevant in 2019?

    I've been using c# wpf to create projects like my borderless window overlay because I am not interested in web development and I couldn't find any better languages or graphics libraries for an overlay.

    also would you recommend any other language and/or graphics libraries?

    Is there any way to learn languages/frameworks faster?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 07:42 PM PDT

    My method right now is:

    1. Learn a bit about what the language/framework is and what it does.

    2. Find the easiest tutorials possible that still go into enough info for me to fully utilize whatever I'm learning. I mainly use tutorials that are straightforward like "do this to make a variable, do this to make a comment, etc". I mainly prefer text-based resources.

    3. Break the framework up into small concepts

    4. Learn each concept by writing it down on paper many times until it's burned into my memory.

    5. Wait a couple days and try to recall what I wrote down. Whatever I don't remember, I learn and write down again.

    6. Keep repeating steps 4-5 over and over again.

    This works and has allowed me to learn stuff rather quick, but it's stressful to do and I wouldn't call it a very engaging or a natural way of learning. Is there anything I can do to make this less stressful or make it easier/quicker for me to remember the info?

    Humble Bundle - Python

    How would I go about learning to be a QA engineer, specifically test automation if that's a possibility

    Posted: 09 May 2019 11:39 PM PDT

    I've written some web scraping functions using Selenium in Rails and really enjoyed it. Looking into it, it seems like the most likely place to get a job relating to that sort of thing would be a QA Engineer. What learning resources should I look into, that could eventually lead to a job? I know Ruby pretty well, and have been learning Python recently if that info helps. Any education materials, types of projects to build that would look good in a portfolio? etc..

    What do you guys do when you are stuck somewhere on a project?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 11:06 PM PDT

    Its been like a week now. I am stuck on an Assignment for my programming class in College.I have tried searching it on Google, posted the code to Java Subreddits, and discord servers. Sometimes, I feel like if Programming not for me. No one seems to help with my code. Have you guys ever been like that? If so, what is the best way to solve and make the program work?

    The best way to learn web development for someone already employed as a software developer?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 09:36 PM PDT

    I don't have much background in JavaScript, HTML, etc., but I'm interested in learning web development in order to perhaps do some remote work in the future.

    I'm currently employed as a C++ developer; when searching for approaches to learning web development, all of the highly recommended paths are geared toward those who don't know what arrays are, etc.

    What is the difference between beginner, intermediate and advance?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 09:32 PM PDT

    Im an active learner, i only study something if i need it. I only know java ,beginner python (I havent touched python for more than 6 months) and mysql.

    I im currently creating a program in java that uses mysql as a database and swing as a GUI and currently learning how to use hibernate as a framework for my program.

    I create fairly clean code, i can add a feature in my program without modifying others. Almost all of my codes are encapsulated. Everything is covered in exception handler so i will know immediately if something went wrong.

    How do i know if im still beginner or i am intermediate

    Any good tutorials for developing a Wordpress site in roots.io?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 06:37 PM PDT

    Currently a company is interested in having me as an intern web developer, though before they put me on board they want me to get familiar with root.io/sage first.

    However I haven't developed a Wordpress site before as most of my projects have been in React.js. What are some good learning materials/tutorials to get started in developing in roots.io? I've done some googling but its hard to find a good staring point for a beginner.

    Project Organization for IDE

    Posted: 09 May 2019 11:22 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    I have a question about how my Java files and projects should be organized. I have various folders set up with module folders, assignment folders, etc and was wondering what habits I should be doing. Here is a screenshot of what it currently looks like. All I used in class were .java files and did not use any /src or /bin folders or anything like that. Input files were utilized using absolute paths, which I think /src folders let you use relative paths?

    When importing it to Eclipse, this is what I currently have.

    From what I have found online, it seems like a bit of a nightmare to restructure everything into appropriate packages and whatnot. I am still not sure as to what extent I should be using packages, projects, etc. I am assuming every assignment should be it's own project, but what about modules that have 4-5 exercises in each?

    Could anyone give me some tips?

    [java] Trying to make a while loop with if statement. Having issue making it stick.

    Posted: 09 May 2019 10:45 PM PDT

    Hey, trying to do some programming based on Game of Thrones characters before season 8.

    ​

    I'm using an if else statement to bring up characters and give a quick status if they are alive or dead. I'm currently trying to figure out how to make it so it continues to allow the user the option to type in more names. I tried a while loop but I'm having issues getting it to work. 

    import java.util.Scanner; public class Houses { static void Status() { Houses status = new Houses(); char quit = 'n'; System.out.println("Select a House: "); System.out.println("Stark"); Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); String choice = sc.nextLine(); While (quit != 'n') { if (choice.equalsIgnoreCase("Stark")) { System.out.println("Pick a character: "); System.out.println( "Jon, Arya, Sansa, Rickard, Catelyn, Eddard, Lyanna, Benjen, Robb, Talisa, Bran, Rickon\nChoice: "); String choice2 = sc.next(); if (choice2.equalsIgnoreCase("Jon")) { System.out.println("Alive."); } if (choice2.equalsIgnoreCase("Arya")) { System.out.println("Alive"); } if (choice2.equalsIgnoreCase("Sansa")) { System.out.println("Alive"); } if (choice2.equalsIgnoreCase("Rickard")) { System.out.println("Dead, burned alive. "); } if (choice2.equalsIgnoreCase("Catelyn")) { System.out.println("Dead, throat silt during Red Wedding."); } if (choice2.equalsIgnoreCase("Eddard")) { System.out.println("Dead, Death by beheadding "); } if (choice2.equalsIgnoreCase("Lyanna")) { System.out.println("Dead, Death by childbirth. "); } if (choice2.equalsIgnoreCase("Benjen")) { System.out.println("Dead, Death by wights. "); } if (choice2.equalsIgnoreCase("Robb")) { System.out.println("Dead, Death by crossbow and stabbing. Died during Red Wedding. "); } if (choice2.equalsIgnoreCase("Talisa")) { System.out.println("Dead, Death by stabbing during Red Wedding. "); } if (choice2.equalsIgnoreCase("Bran")) { System.out.println("Alive, but no longer \"Bran\"."); } if (choice2.equalsIgnoreCase("Rickon")) { System.out.println("Dead, Death by arrow. "); } else { System.out.println("That is not a Stark House member."); } } System.out.println("Would you like to stop? y/n? "); String input = sc.next().toLowerCase(); } } }

    What's your favourite note-taking app whilst learning to program?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 08:24 AM PDT

    I'm on a Mac, I've been really impressed with Boostnote but the more I use it, I'm finding a lot of little bugs - some which sadly due to dev availability, they have not been fixed for a long time. (One day I will help!)

    What I'm really looking for is:

    • Must support markdown
    • Must support formatted Code blocks
    • Must support folders for categorising stuff

    Things I've tried and didn't meet the criteria: Evernote, Infonote.

    How long would it take me to learn how to create an app (and creating it) that finds "motions" in this website?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 06:53 PM PDT

    So, basically, what I want is an android version of this website as an app.

    What I want is something like this (note that blue boxes are menus).

    What to teach 8 year olds?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 10:19 PM PDT

    Hi, I have a coding club where I teach 8 year olds HTML and CSS. They do understand HTML and they are able to build simple websites, however they cant really get the grasp of more complex HTML (classes, ids) and CSS. I realized that I should probably switch to teaching something else, something that will be enjoyable for them. I don't really want to do scratch since they are already doing it during their normal computer science lessons. Do you have any ideas? Thanks in advance ;)

    Why doesn't SELECT DISTINCT work?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 10:17 PM PDT

    Using Python, I made use of sqlite3 to make a database with the column labels "members" and "distance". Table name is "ring".

    I have defined this function:

    def uniqueify(): c.execute('SELECT DISTINCT members,distance FROM ring') conn.commit()

    and at the end of my script, I call this function. But there are still rows with the same data. What could I have been doing wrong?

    How do I send a LAMP project to a client?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 08:33 AM PDT

    I developed a LAMP App for a client (my first). I can obviously send the files that I worked on. However, they are all dependent on the local server on my machine. Is there any way I can send the code to the client where he can see the fully working app for himself?

    How much work would be involved in this and how would I tackle it?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 05:46 AM PDT

    I have an app idea (I know, don't we all) that I have a serious interest in developing - but I've got zero experience. I'm under no illusion that it is a lot of hard work and learning so before I even start I want to try and understand how realistic the idea is.

    ​

    It would be a schedule / calendar type app that would require online syncing - hopefully with integrations with other apps like ToDoIst or Google Calendar.

    Ideally it would be available on all platforms.

    ​

    As someone who has almost zero coding experience. My questions are:

    ​

    1) Is this impossible to begin with?

    2) How much time and effort would it likely involved to learn the necessary skills and then develop an app of that description.

    3) Where would I even start to go from here to being able to create what I described?

    Learning Classes (Python) and I am completely dumbfounded

    Posted: 09 May 2019 10:01 PM PDT

    class person(): def __init__(self, initialAge): if initialAge < 0: self.initialAge = 0 print('this person is {}'.format(initialAge)) else: self.initialAge = initialAge print('this person is {}'.format(initialAge)) person1 = person(-120) print(person1)

    This prints out "This person is -120" but to me it should print 0 since I say if initialAge < 0 set it to 0 but it still prints -120 I am sure it is a simple solution, but idk what it is any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    help with simple c program dispersing change

    Posted: 09 May 2019 09:01 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I sent my program to my tutor and he told me that my way of calculating change is prone to error if the index is wrong and hinted that I should use a modulus operator.

    I don't have a lot of experience and I don't understand how to solve this problem or what he means. It works fine but it's temperamental when looping.

    int main ()
    {
    int change, fifty = 0, twenty = 0, ten = 0, five = 0;
    int coin_amount[] = {50, 20, 10, 5};
    char cont;
    do
    {
    change = getChange();

    if(change>=50)
    fifty = change/coin_amount[0];
    if(change>=20)
    twenty = (change - (fifty*50)) / coin_amount[1];
    if(change>=10)
    ten = (change - (fifty*50) - (twenty*20)) / coin_amount[2];
    if(change>=5)
    five = ((change - (fifty*50) - (twenty*20) - (ten*10)) / coin_amount[3]);

    printChange(change, fifty, twenty, ten, five);
    cont = wantAnotherGo ();
    }while((cont == 'Y') || (cont == 'y'));

    }

    Hey guys I've been self teaching python online for about 2 months, I wanna be a data analyst one day. Gotta start somewhere though. I'm trying to create a tic tac toe game. I've started by creating a library of functions. When I'm done with creating all the functions in this library I'm going to make a main and put it all together I have currently a function to display the board, check if someone has won, select which marker they will use X or O and would enjoy some input on my player input function where they actually place a X or O on the board. I'll place a pic of what my code looks like for it so far

    What language is best to learn for rapid prototyping web apps (for startups)?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 08:29 PM PDT

    I am thinking of learning and getting good at one rapid prototyping web framework in order to be able to develop web apps for any and all startup ideas.

    I have no preference over the language or anything, and am willing to learn anything. However, I would optimally prefer to choose only one rapid prototyping language to focus on.

    Is there a go-to solution for this issue? I often see Django and Rails thrown out there as well as Laravel. Is Node good for rapid prototyping compared to the ones listed above?

    Which framework is best for rapid prototyping web apps for startups?

    What's this bitwise OR statement mean?

    Posted: 09 May 2019 08:26 PM PDT

    Just learning about bitwise statements and I have come across this:

    BitSet(value, bit) (value | (1ULL<<bit))

    So I get that BitSet takes params value and bit, but it's the second set of parenthesis that confuses me.

    I understand that it reads: Value OR 1 unsigned long long bit shift left by bit value, but what does this parse into? What's it used by?
