    Team Treehouse fired all their teachers

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 09:08 AM PDT

    Heads up for anyone enrolled or thinking of enrolling at Treehouse to learn programming - they fired what looks to be about half the company earlier this week, including almost all teachers and video production.

    The CEO won't say how many people were let go on social media. He's saying they're refocusing on a few specific subject areas, but neglects to mention that they fired everyone teaching those subjects. Ex-employees have been all over Twitter looking for jobs, which is how I found out, but they won't talk about what happened (NDAs?). Feels like they're transitioning into some other sort of company, but they'll be happy to take your money for old videos in the meantime.

    Anyone know what's going on there? The company's pretending like nothing happened, and the CEO's explanation doesn't make sense if they fired that many people. RIP

    Does anyone else get anxious with deadlines, which stops them from performing?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 05:23 PM PDT

    I think I'm generally a pretty competent programmer. Whenever I have any sort of deadline that is getting close I work myself up and tunnel vision, to the point where very basic things are hard for me. Then I inevitably write garbage code which makes the problem that much worse.

    Does anyone have any advice on how to mitigate this?

    My first game is complete! Still learning but a small victory is still a victory.

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 09:02 PM PDT

    I started working through two books: 'Automate the Boring Stuff with Python' and 'Invent Your Own Computer Games With Python' this week while I was out of town. Today I decided to put into practice what I've been learning and write a short game. You can find it here.

    It's a simple RPG-style battle encounter with random enemies and attack/defense values. I'm working on updating it with a 'Choose a weapon' option that would increase the attack or speed depending on what weapon you choose. But, for now, I'm really happy with it. I'm going to use this project to apply what I learn from now on and hopefully, in a few months, I'll have a little playable game.

    Side note: THANK YOU AL SWEIGART!!

    Learning programming in 3 years?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 10:54 AM PDT

    How many hours a day do you think it would take to land a job programming in 3 years time. I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's in computer science, and want to know how much time realistically I should be putting into programming each day in order to increase my odds of being employable after college.

    Starting freelancing as a Python Developer...

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 03:56 PM PDT

    Hey folks, recently I decided to start a freelancing as a Python developer. However I soon realized that it's really competitive. First of all if you would like to get into web development you should also learn Javascript and Html/Css, same applies to other areas.... So I wanted to hear your thoughts and recommendations which framework to learn in order to work entirely in Python but still being able to find something relevant on freelancing websites???

    It’s so hard for me to download IDE’s for things like Java and C++ because something always goes wrong. Am I just lacking patience to figure out what’s wrong or should it just be a smooth installation for these things? It’s really depressing me because I can’t do it right.

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 03:51 PM PDT

    It burns me up because it's sooo freakin hard man. I'm trying to download Eclipse so I can begin to learn and practice Java. I'm following instructions and everything step by step to make sure I install correctly, but something still manages to go wrong. An error will pop up that didn't happen in the instruction video, now I have to search for the problem to fix it.

    And I'm not just fluent in computer, some of the lingo and words go over my head because I don't know them. It's hard and it's depressing because I've tried to download stuff for MySQL workbench and visual studios code too and the same thing keeps happening.

    Any recommendations for books about how to write good technical documentation?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 09:17 AM PDT

    I prefer to read physical books when there's a subject I just want to read a lot about, any recommendations? I'm locked into & infinitely familiar with MediaWiki for this project so I'm less interested in tools and more interested in the writing part, though if it covers both that's fine, I can skip around or just read it anyway. Thanks!

    Need help find the maximum path sum in a binary tree

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 07:07 PM PDT

    hope this post is not irrelevant to this sub, and sorry if it is

    Im trying to find the maximum path sum in a binary tree, starting from the root, i tried to make a recursive function. that check the root node, then check the left and right children nodes, and picks the one with bigger value, sums it with the value of the root, and then the function calls itself with an input of node that was a bigger child, and so on. ofcourse this is full of holes as if the bigger child was a leaf, and the smaller one had a child node with a huge value, then i fail to find the maximum path sum. i would appreciate tips and ideas. Thanks!

    Need help picking intro SQL course

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 10:39 AM PDT

    Hello, I have worked in tech for almost 9 years as a product manager. I work mostly in video games. I'd like to get proficient with SQL to make myself more marketable and a better product leader. I've seen SQL before, but never felt confident with it at all. I've done research and need a few questions answered before doing my online coursework over this summer: A) Should I learn MySQL or some other variant? B) Should I spend $9 on this Udemy course ( https://www.udemy.com/the-ultimate-mysql-bootcamp-go-from-sql-beginner-to-expert ) or do the free SQL tutorial with CodeAcademy ( https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-sql )?

    Creating a UI in Electron for C Program

    Posted: 08 Jun 2019 12:02 AM PDT

    Is it possible to use Electron to basically act as the UI while the actual program is written in C? I have experience with CSS and want to use it to make a custom interface for the program that I can use across a series of different programs. Like, a calculator app or a simple text editing program with the same interface style.

    P.S. Sorry if it seems a little bit obvious or not very specific, it was a passing thought I had when reading about Electron.

    Tips on Applying Linkedin, CV etc

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 03:55 PM PDT

    I've began learning front end development 2 months ago. I am absolutely loving it. I plan on applying for a job in 15 months time maximum. Depending how will my self study go (I work 50 hrs a week, code in any spare time I can ranging from 1-6 hrs a day) . I am just thinking, when I do decide to look for job and create my linked in profile, should I put my unrelevant experience on it too? I will be 26 by then, having not finished college and worked in Warehousing and Distribution. Would it not be too big of an empty gap skills wise to have nothing on my cv since high school, or most likely will the potential employers not really look at it and mostly be intrrest with how I present my knowledge and projects Ive build on my own.

    ElephantSQL Connection Error

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 11:11 PM PDT

    I'm trying to connect to an ElephantSQL database from a Django project and keep getting the same error when trying to migrate:

    django.db.utils.OperationalError: could not connect to server: Connection timed out (0x0000274C/10060) Is the server running on host "raja.db.elephantsql.co" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

    My settings file looks like this:

    DATABASES = {
    'default': {
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
    'NAME': 'XXXXX',
    'USER': 'XXXXX',
    'PASSWORD': 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
    'HOST': 'raja.db.elephantsql.com',
    'PORT': '5432',
    }
    }

    My 'NAME' and 'USER' are both the 'User and Default database' title from ElephantSQL.

    I can't seem to find any information on this error nor sufficient documentation. Am I missing something? I just started learning about databases so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    How do you keep up with the current tech stack and trends?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 10:34 PM PDT

    Curious on where you guys get your resources on how to keep up with trends and tech stack to remain relevant and competitive in the job force.

    Currently I get my 'news' from my workplace. I didn't know what JIRA, Agile, microservices were until the workplace discussed about it during that time. And as a result I want to find a more reliable/consistent way of at least hearing about the trend.

    Do you guys crawl through job postings randomly? Reddit?

    Any recommendations?

    Central SSH-able server with multiple independent user accounts

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 10:18 PM PDT

    I want to build a service where:

    a. user have its own account with complete working directory as in a normal Linux distro.

    b. each user ssh into the server and use it as an independent machine.

    c. implement user storage limit and write permissions and users are able to encrypt all data if they want rendering it unreadable and account inaccessible if not until done so by user.

    d. each user account is separated from each other.

    e. each user account can be provisioned with special software, possibly different from each other.

    What are the various ways to go about it?

    Ideas for a fun learning project?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 04:12 PM PDT

    I'm fairly new and am a very hands on learner. I'm curious as to what ideas anyone has for creating a fun learning project. I have been studying python for about two months after work. I am open to any ideas! The things I have made so far are a Rock Paper Scissors game and a simple version of Blackjack. I haven't messed with creating any real GUI yet and have been mostly playing the games out of the VSC terminal/command prompt.

    what have you done toward your goal of learning to program?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 09:24 PM PDT

    I have found every now and then I've been getting the desire to become a programmer and just going to Starbucks or my local library to do Hackerrank practice challenges has been going well. Now I got a Python book at Packt.com free and am going to start using that plus I am getting Miguel Grimberg's Flask megatutorial step by step and as a plus I want to get organized. I plan on saving some notes of Flask on the side in ~/learncode so I can boilerplate better, and since there is so much to know in Flask development.

    So, what are you doing to meet your desire to become a programmer? What did it take to get you to have the desire? For me I realized I can open the door in tech to a salary as I am fortunate to have a background I want to do DevOps or site reliability engineering. Flask would be used for microservices and knowing Jinja2 helps me with Salt. I went to a corporate meetup in Palo Alto called "Instart" and the door to a job could open if I persist at this I can't turn down the $$$.

    Have a side project (website) I want to work on, but I have no experience and no clue where to start

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 08:57 PM PDT

    Well, I took a C++ class and played around with HTML a little bit about 15 years ago.

    So I'd like to work on a business-oriented website that:

    -Has user accounts with registration and login.

    -Allows users to upload files to be worked by my company.

    -Allows users to view a list of their uploaded files, past and present, with some metadata and the work status of each. Also allow users to download past/completed files from this list.

    -Allow myself to modify the user file lists to update file status and add download links for completed files.

    -Has ecommerce integration.

    -Has search optimization.

    -Has responsive design.

    -Has as elegant and minimalist of a UI as possible.

    Server and account security would be vital due to the confidentiality required in working some of these files.

    How big of an undertaking would this be for a complete noob? I'm very computer savvy and good at research, but like I said, my experience is basically nonexistent. Could anyone even estimate how many hours of work this might take? Where would I even get started?

    Thanks.
