    I just passed my first programming interview after learning python for a year. I could not have done it without the generous help and feedback of the people on this subreddit.

    It really means a lot when people are willing to help complete strangers on topics that might be perceived as simple or basic. The love and support that I have received from this community is priceless.

    THANK YOU!!!!!!

    Automate the Boring Stuff with Python Udemy course free for the next few days.

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 03:02 PM PST

    https://inventwithpython.com/automateudemy (This link will automatically redirect you to the latest discount code.)

    You can also click this link or manually enter the code: JAN2020FREE2 (on Sunday the code changes to FEB2020FREE)

    https://www.udemy.com/course/automate/?couponCode=JAN2020FREE2

    This promo code works until Jan 5th (I can't extend it past that). Sometimes it takes 30 minutes or so for the code to become active just after I create it, so if it doesn't work, go ahead and try again a while later.

    Udemy has changed their coupon policies, and I'm now only allowed to make 3 coupon codes each month with several restrictions. Hence why each code only lasts 3 days. I won't be able to make codes after this period, but I will be making free codes in the future.

    You can also purchase the course at a discount using my code JAN2020 or FEB2020 (or whatever month/year it is) or clicking https://inventwithpython.com/automateudemy to redirect to the latest discount code. I have to manually renew this each month (until I get that automation script done). And the cheapest I can offer the course is about $14 to $16. (Meanwhile, this lets Udemy undercut my discount by offering it for $12, which means I don't get the credit for referral signups. Blerg.)

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    • If you don't have time to take the course now, that's fine. Signing up gives you lifetime access so you can work on it at your own pace.
    • This Udemy course covers roughly the same content as the 1st edition book (the book has a little bit more, but all the basics are covered in the online course), which you can read for free online at https://inventwithpython.com
    • The 2nd edition of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python will be posted on the website, uh, soon. I've been busy with other projects and holiday stuff.
    • I do plan on updating the Udemy course for the second edition, but it'll take a while because I have other book projects I'm working on. Expect that update to happen in mid- or late-2020. If you sign up for this Udemy course, you'll get the updated content automatically once I finish it. It won't be a separate course.
    • It's totally fine to start on the first edition and then read the second edition later. I'll be writing a blog post to guide first edition readers to the parts of the second edition they should read.
    • I wrote a blog post to cover what's new in the second edition
    • You're not too old to learn to code. You don't need to be "good at math" to be good at coding.
    • Signing up is the first step. Actually finishing the course is the next. :) There are several ways to get/stay motivated. I suggest getting a "gym buddy" to learn with.

    Any self taught developers from small towns?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 08:35 AM PST

    Maybe I'm asking this in the wrong sub, which I apologize for if so.

    Are there any self taught developers from small towns? Did you start out working remote jobs or did you find a company who helped you move? I'm from small, farm town Nebraska. Just curious on how hard it's going to be to get out of here. The goal is to work at Google in New York City some day. (Or to at least live in New York City)

    I'm currently working through The Odin Project and I'm super stoked on the idea of leaving this little farm town and living in a big city.

    The Odin Project - 8 weeks of progress (part time)

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 01:17 PM PST

    Hi there. (Mostly) noob here, I've been doing the Odin Project full JS stack since the first week of December, for 3-5 hours per week and I felt like sharing some thoughts and progress so far. I'm going to try and journal my progress every so often anyway as an aid to motivation, why not make it public?

    The course itself seems to be written and structured well. This is the longest/most consistently I've stuck with any kind of online course which is partly on me having a hopefully better attitude to it and partly because the course has me feeling like I'm making little bits of progress consistently.

    Other things to like about it: it links to external content often (good, not everything needs to be rewritten if it already has a solid tutorial); it's sufficiently explicit about which bits of those external sources to read/watch and which not to, which exercises to follow along with etc; it reiterates the 'we'll do this topic in more detail later' or 'you don't need a full understanding of this right now' philosophy where appropriate; it's a little soon to tell but does seem geared towards practical skills over pure theory/language learning (you spend a sufficiently long time before actually writing any code that it might be off-putting to some people. I really appreciated the early focus on git, I'm not as sure about setting up a Linux VM as the first task but it's early days yet and that might prove invaluable going forward).

    Progress (knowledge or skills that are new to me):
    * A very top-level eli5 understanding of how a website is created and how that's accessed later.
    * Set up a VM.
    * First exposure to Linux and Terminal basics.
    * Get Git and Github up and running for a single author.
    * Simple version control (commit changes, checkout to revert local changes).
    * Using Chrome dev tools: inspector and computed.
    * Create web pages locally and link them, use local stylesheets.
    * Basic HTML and CSS to the point I could create a web page and have it look not-terrible.

    I've just finished the 'create a (nonfunctional) replica of the Google homepage' project now. The finished article is a web page that I built, and it's on the internet. That feels like an achievement.
    That turned into a much bigger task than I first anticipated, I'd estimate it was 12+ hours of work for me. To be fair, part of the project brief is 'don't be a perfectionist' and I should probably have taken that on board more. On the other hand, I learned new things consistently while doing it, some of which I wouldn't have come across if I hadn't been digging in as deep as I could. Concepts like display, position and 'when something should be in a div' have been huge stumbling blocks for me in the little bit of web programming I've tried in the past, so I'm pleased with myself for breaking them down into small tasks in isolation and looking up resources. I wouldn't say I'm comfortable with those things yet, but I can use them and will know what I should be searching for the next time I build something and get stuck on those.

    Invaluable lessons I should really remember:
    * You can't undo checking out a file from git. Be sure you really want to revert those changes before doing that.
    * Test it in isolation. Replicate it in codepen. When it works perfectly there, you can be pretty sure you've done something wrong in the live file, or that something you're not expecting to mess with it is messing with it.
    * Not working? Put a 2px solid red border round it. You understand how borders work, that'll make it pretty obvious if the problem is with the new rule you don't fully understand yet, or if you've targeted the wrong element or left a comment unclosed on the prior rule.
    * Still not working? You've not closed a comment or forgotten a colon or you don't know which side is left and which side is right.
    * Comment your progress at the top of the file. You'll be coming back to this in a day or two, make it easy to pick up.

    Has anyone in this community learned coding, programming or web development through a Bootcamp and /or anything like Team Treehouse? If so, what was your experience and do you recommend it?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 04:38 PM PST

    Thinking of finally learning Full Stack Web Development. I know it's hard and will take time, but I have wanted to do this for years.

    That said, I want to know how you all have learned to program/code and what recommendations, advice or suggestions you can share from the experience.

    I've YouTubed a lot of information, and I have done a lot of research on Google, but I don't personally know anyone who has pursued programming or works in a related field. I greatly appreciate any insight anyone is willing to share.

    How to actually start code?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 07:40 PM PST

    Maybe the title is somewhat misleading. I know fundamentals, but I guess it's hard for me to actually think of a program i can write. I would like to follow someone, or eventually follow a collection of objectives to complete.

    Like trying to step further I need a questions to solve, for my level.

    I know somewhat a solid fundamentals of c++ and c#, like also js.

    I was trying to get along with cs50 with javascript, but I can't even do first pset. I just simply can't understand after watching a lecture.

    I'm nearly 30 - am I too old for this? I really want to start doing sth with my life.

    Really, I need an advice...

    Hello subreddit guys,

    I have received a C# developer offer as beginner. But the responsibilities seem to be performing a fair bit of bug-fixing, supports profile. They have said that the product has been already built and i have to bug/fix & support. Do you think it is a good opportunity for a newbie? Shall i follow the requirement.

    Please say your advice on this.Thanks in Advance !+

    Can I somehow download a js animation from a website?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 11:04 PM PST

    Hi, I'm a beginner with site programming. I was wondering if there's a way to download a js animation from one website- it's an official site for a game and I need the assets to improve my youtube content, nothing fishy I swear. The animation is played on reload of the page, which makes my work even harder. Any tips?

    Is this an efficient way to learn android app development?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 10:40 PM PST

    Android Fundamentals: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/android-training/

    We have a club at my school that's trying to develop an android app. Some people are really proficient in Java and there are also beginner people like myself. I found this resource from google but I'm wondering what professionals think of it. Should I continue with this and finish it as soon as possible? There isn't a rush for newer members to learn app development, I'm just really motivated at this point.

    Batch Repair Corrupt/Damaged Image Files

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 10:27 PM PST

    Hi all, I am working on an application(in python) which does certain batch operations on a large lists of images stored in folders locally. While processing these images, it is not uncommon to encounter corrupt or damaged PNG and JPEG files(Which are the two formats I am currently working with). I am currently handling exceptions with regards to the damaged images, but I would also like to add some functionality, or even a separate script to repair these corrupt files(any language is okay). I understand that images get damaged when they are missing certain data such as EXIF headers, iCCP chunks and stuff, but there is no clear resource online to learn about this stuff. I would like to learn about this and implement it on my own. If anyone can point me to a good resource or at least give me some perspective on how to go about this problem, I would be immensely grateful. TIA!

    tl;dr

    Would like to write a script or function to repair damaged Image files on my own and could use some guidance.

    Lost in my second programming class

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 10:21 PM PST

    I took an intro to c++ class over a year ago, and now I'm taking the second part of the class that needs the intro one as a prerequisite. I haven't practiced any programming ever since that intro class. The thing is I did some reviewing and I get the concepts and theoretical part of the things; but when it gets to actual programming, I'm lost and don't know how to program or start. I'm starting to fall behind in this particular class and I'm wondering what's the best thing for me to do. Is there a good website that has some projects that increases in difficulty one project after the other? Or should I just try to find a tutor (my last resort since I can't really afford it).

    Our first topic of this class was pointers and dynamic memory and now we're beginning object oriented programming.

    3rd Year Math Major Seeking Help

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 10:17 PM PST

    I am a third year applied math major and am interested in becoming a software engineer. I have intermediate knowledge in Java and have worked on several basic android app. Notably Flashcard app to learn about SQLite and a weather app to introduce myself with api.

    Since the start of the year, I been applied to 50ish internships and no responses. I'm wondering right now what I should be focusing on right now.

    Continue working on Android and create a new project (if so what should I make?) or focus on learning algorithms and doing leetcode/interview prep stuff?

    [Rant - Javascript] Can't solve Algorithms excercises and I'm starting to feel like a moron.

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 10:46 AM PST

    I'm learning Javascript with MDN, W3schools and following the FreecodeCamp steps for frontend.

    Right now I'm with the exercises "Find the Longest Word in a String" and "Return Largest Numbers in Arrays" in the Algorithm Scripting section and I can't solve them and when I check the solutions, I realize there's no way I could have thought about something similar, and it takes me a few minutes to understand what they did.

    When I scroll down I see people suggesting other solutions but again, they're more complex that I could've ever thought.

    So far I was able to do most of the other exercises in Javascript, HTML and CSS, but here I'm stuck and I feel I will never be to understand programming enough to be good at solving problems.

    Is that normal?

    I am trying to use onclick event buttons to shrink and expand an image. this is the code I'm using but nothing is happening. What do I need to add to get the image to respond? I think something is out of order or missing but i don't know what. I would appreciate any help!

    Code:

    How to start a cross platform simple database program...

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 09:27 PM PST

    Hey all! I could really use Reddit's help on where to start on creating a cross platform (IOS, Android, Windows, Mac) simple (for now) database tracking program. All it'll do is receive typed input data from the customer and display it various ways to them. If I had to guess, target audience is around 10K.

    I'm familiar with programming, but that's about it. I plan on teaching myself whichever language seems like the best fit. I can do simple Excel VBA programming.

    Some needs:

    1) Be able to integrate payment/password options. I'd like to be able to track who bought the item as well as password protect it with a unique identifier for the buyer with periodic checks (am guessing some type of server side solution will need to be integrated). I'd like to avoid someone paying for the program then sending it to their buddies. That part might be best farmed off to a CRM company?

    2) Cross platform. Windows, IOS, Android, Mac. From what I can gather, programs like Visual Studio would accomplish this up to about 90%, then the rest of the code has to be added for each platform.

    Additional thoughts:

    C++ (with Qt) or Java (with JavaFX) seems to be the way to go from browing some forums, but I couldn't locate much information on how to secure it from people just removing the protection and forwarding it along.

    I'm not particularly interested in building a server side product, just a stand alone .exe/.app for Windows/Mac as I think that's only only way to encrypt/hide the source code. IOS App store/Google Play I'm not sure about in regards to protecting the source.

    I'd appreciate any help/insights/questions/answers that anybody with experience can give.

    Thanks!

    Is the self taught route a good way to go?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 05:39 PM PST

    I've always been interested in learning to program but in the past I dropped it and its been awhile. So recently I decided I'd face my fears and get back at it. I've been using freecodecamp so far. I'm planning on using it in conjunction to codeacademy since that's also free. I'm liking it so far and I'm remembering things as I go along. However, can I actually get a job if I use resources like this? Its just that my family wants me to go to college for this. I don't want to go into debt when I can learn for free. So far I've been putting in 5 hours a day. I'm trying to improve as fast as I can. I want to get to the point where I can start building practice projects. If anyone out there has also gone the self taught route what are some advice/tips that could help me improve faster or with getting a job? As much as I'm having fun I'm also ridiculously stressed. As I said I'm trying to improve as fast as I can.

    Should I include the front-end code inside the web-server code?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 09:04 PM PST

    I am confused if I should decouple front-end code (JS, CSS, HTML) from web-server code(Node.js with express). If I should decouple those two, When a user requests a URL to the server, does the server serves the front-end HTML files in the remote project? I was looking at a tutorial for NodeJS and they made file structures like below. Should I extract the public code and make it another project? I am confused about how the communication between these two codes and structure works. Thank you so much

    Web-server

    ã„´node_modules

    ã„´public (Front-end code)
