    You don't need to spend money to get good learning material

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 07:20 PM PST

    I see a lot of posts here about Udemy courses, subscription services, etc, (and a lot of people that don't check the sidebar) but you don't need to spend money on anything. The best resources out there also happen to be completely free

    Machine Learning 2020 - The Year of ML

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 01:21 AM PST

    3 months ago, I created and posted videos from my Python machine learning course on the learnProgramming subreddit. So far they have been received very well! As we now write 2020 I wanted to share my resources for those who has a New Year Wish of learning MI this year.

    Teach yourself to code in ten years, by doing a little bit every day

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 09:21 AM PST

    I was just browsing through the best articles I've read in the last years and I've stumbled through this classic gold piece, Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years by Peter Norvig. As a relatively experienced programmer (~10 years in the trade) I always wished I would have discovered it earlier.

    The awesome FAQ of this subreddit has a section highlighting the importance of practice. Yes, programming can only be mastered by programming, like any other trade. This means a lot of practice and consistency, plus an attitude to learn on demand. That's why the best way to grow is by constantly defining new problems and projects to tackle, that are slightly out of our comfort zone and knowledge bounds. Coding is hard because problems are always new, but that's precisely what motivates us to keep exploring and getting better.

    One concept that the FAQ doesn't emphasise enough, however, is that this consistency has to exist for a very long time. This means that we need to allow ourselves to take our time to become proficient. We're not in a hurry and anxiety is counterproductive. I think it's safe to say that most of us were incredibly overwhelmed when we started learning to code. And I believe the more the world progresses the more overwhelming it'll become unless we approach coding with the right mindset. We are always going to be blank slates while the amount of concepts/languages/etc to learn keeps growing exponentially. That's why the right mindset is to take it easy, to be aware that this is a very long game and that we're here to enjoy playing it, by doing a little bit every day, for a very long time.

    This is obviously applicable to any craft or endeavour, that's why I really love the idea of forming habits to help us work on our goals. About 3 years ago, I started working on a little sideproject mostly for fun to track them called everyday.app hoping that it would help me be more consistent. Not only did I manage to work on it every day during 2019 but consistency has also helped me fullfill my dream to live from my own little business while having more time to learn and explore the coding projects that interested me. For example, I learnt React-Native just to do the mobile apps!

    In any case, and coinciding with the beginning of a new decade, I just wanted to make sure that you (independently of your level of skill or point in this wonderful journey that learning to code is) should teach yourself to code in ten years :)

    What course is better?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 11:39 AM PST

    Hey guys. So on my learning path I've decided to buy a course on Udemy for web-dev, and I don't know which one is better:

    1. This course from Colt Steele, I've heard A LOT of positive feedback on this course, from reddit as well, it's the most popular course and highly rated and so on. Or
    2. This course from Angela Yu, this is highest-ranked course, the description of the course looks more in depth. And this course is also quite popular (by far not as much as 1-st one). And also this course promises to have plenty of projects to apply for Junior pos. with, which is quite good thing.

    I will invest plenty of time in this so i'd like to make right decision. They have a sale now for a few more days.

    What language should I use for my online game server?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 04:19 PM PST

    So guys, I'm noob in networking, but I want to make a server for my own game. I already have a client side, but I still need a backend. Maybe I'm stupid, but I tried to use Python Flask module (http requests) for it. It didn't work AT ALL, as the server should answer 60 requests per second for each player.

    HTTP protocol seems to be a bad decision for it.

    Do you know what language is the best for such things?

    I'm looking for a simple solution which doesn't require very deep learning.However, if there is no such, please recommend a powerful tool that can handle a lot of requests in real time, I do have some time to learn basics of a new language

    P.s. I use Gamemaker Studio 2 for my client side, (it allows sockets too) and Ubuntu 18.04 as a server OS, if it matters

    Thanks

    What are the steps and difficulty level of creating a way to turn my handwriting into a font ?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 08:28 PM PST

    So i started the odin project about 2 weeks ago and I feel confident in chasing a career in programing. I recall someone in another post (sorry i couldn't find it) saying how important it was to create your own stuff to add to your portfolio, i also remember it saying something about "Make sure it solves a problem for you."

    So my problem is i hate to write but i like people thinking i wrote a hand written letter. Yes i could be upfront with those I'm writing too, or suck it up and just write. BUT.. no.

    ​

    So, how hard would creating something like this be?

    What steps would be involved?

    What level of difficulty would you rate the most basic version of something like this being?

    Beginning Question, Python.

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 09:26 PM PST

    I am trying to answer a question on the CheckiO, programming game. (I am new to programming).

    The CheckiO problem is as follows:

    "

    "Fizz buzz" is a word game we will use to teach the robots about division. Let's learn computers.

    You should write a function that will receive a positive integer and return:"Fizz Buzz" if the number is divisible by 3 and by 5;"Fizz" if the number is divisible by 3;"Buzz" if the number is divisible by 5;The number as a string for other cases.

    Input: A number as an integer.

    Output: The answer as a string.

    Precondition: 0 < number ≤ 1000"

    This is my code that I wrote in a python file, AND appears to work correctly:

    import random

    number = random.randint(1, 1000)

    def checkio(number: int) -> str:

    if number % 3 == 0 and number % 5 == 0:

    print('Fizz Buzz')

    elif number % 5 == 0:

    print('Buzz')

    elif number % 3 == 0:

    print('Fizz')

    else:

    return str(number)

    In the checkIO compiler, I keep getting this error using identical code:

    AssertionError: 15 is divisible by 3 and 5 <module>, 26

    I checked to see if checkio(15) outputted "Fizz Buzz" as per the requirements in the python IDE too. All the other tests worked. Not sure if this is to do with the structure or order of my if-else statements, but I read up on it, and I believed I understood it clearly.

    Looking for some advice. Thanks.

    If Javascript uses html to visually produce something, how do other programming languages, such as python, do this?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 07:12 PM PST

    I realize this may be a stupid question. I started to learn programming with python but switched to Javascript shortly after, when I was using python I was simply testing through the console and nothing else. I see that Javascript has a console as well, though you can also visually produce your code, access it through the DOM, ect with HTML and CSS. When it comes to other programming languages, and how a desktop apps such as Spotify are produced, I am assuming there is some other step/software/library that is able to link the code and the visual aspects and it is not done directly in the programming language.

    Am I wrong in assuming this? -just curious... and am always considering switching from learning webdev to something else

    Where to go next? Should I give up?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 07:11 PM PST

    Hi, I am looking for some advice, I have been trying to learn programming for around 5 years and i am basically still at the stage of what I expect a first year in college is learning. I am beginning to think that maybe it's just not for me and I should just give up, but it is something I really want to learn. I was hoping I would be able to change career before 30 and move into programming but heading for 33 now and it's not looking good.

    I think my problem is I don't really know what I should be doing. I don't have a focus. For the entire time I have been trying to learn c++, so I would do a tutorial on youtube or go through a book and do the basic assignments. But after they end I don't know where to go from there, and I haven't gained anymore knowledge than the basics of what I already had, Ie- variables, etc.

    When you were learning what types of projects did you create, where did you get the ideas, where did you learn from.

    I also have not went over any algorithms or data structures, after 5 years, do you think I should think about giving up and focusing on something else?

    Knowing where to start?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 09:15 PM PST

    Hi everyone, I started learning to code back in October 2019 and have gone through HTML/CSS. I started javascript about a few weeks ago through FCC and a Udemy course and have gone through all the basics such as functions, loops, arrays, objects, etc. However, so far I've just been following code that's already typed out or an instructor telling me what to do. I've decided to do a to-do-list, but have no idea where to start. I've made the layout of the list using Html/css, however I dont know where to go from here. I have this same struggle during my Udemy course when the instructor gives coding challenges. It all makes sense when you see the solution but I'd like to avoid that this time. Have any of you gone through this during your learning? If so how did you overcome this?

    Database: Labels for a more descriptive display

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 08:53 PM PST

    I am new at databases and so this may be a case of I don't know how to ask the right question, or it is a bad concept and a quick redirect would help.

    Anyway, here is my question.

    Let's assume I have a table with several data columns. The data columns have labels that have restrictions so the database can function (spaces, special characters etc). I would like to display the database columns with a better formatted label (a string). I would like to store those strings in the same database as the other table.

    In the database (this is not the actual use case, but a quick example. The strings I will use may be longer like a 1 sentence description)

    ID LastName FirstName DateOfBirth

    1 Carl Bob 03/13/1962

    ​

    I would like to display on a form or in the console better strings without having to write them explicitly in the application. I think this will allow for the application to be more decoupled and at the same time displaying meaningful, clean labels.

    Last Name : Carl

    First Name : Bob

    Date Of Birth : 3/13/1962

    I am sure something like this is common practice, but I don't have the vocabulary to search for an example. I have gone through 5-6 intro to database questions and I can't commit to a 4 hour lecture without knowing if the answer to this question lies within. I am looking for a good long form introduction though if anyone has suggestions. Any help is appreciated.

    Confused on how to proceed with my learning

    Posted: 05 Jan 2020 12:13 AM PST

    I'm a senior in High School and I've done Computer Science all 4 years, we use java and I have a pretty good understanding of it now. However, at school, we keep going further into java libraries and learn more of the syntax really and I want to actually start creating and applying my knowledge to tangible projects. I've made a few games (not published, unfinished,just for fun) and I want to get into applications of my coding skills. How should I go about proceeding with making like an app, website, program, etc... I want to take it to the next level.

    I'm also not sure how the dynamic b/w backend and front end work? If I were to make a website in JavaScript but ran it on an application with a backend on Java how would they be connected?

    What should I know before college?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2020 12:08 AM PST

    Just hoping for some general advice. I'm transferring to a 4 year University this fall after getting all my generals done at a community college. I have no programing experience and have only taken intro to computer science. I plan on majoring in math with a minor in computer science. I think I would like to do something in data science but I'm not quite sure yet.

    My main question is am I going to be expected to be proficient in programing languages or is that what going to college will teach me? I work full time and have a family so I don't really have a ton of spare time out of school but if it's necessary I can do it.

    Any advice would be appreciated

    Any good web programming online programs I can take?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 07:21 PM PST

    I see so many online but don't know where to start. I was even going to create something to help with my skills but I don't know where to start, as a beginner in this topic.

    I am pretty proficient at other languages, so I have some programming basics under my belt, but I need some input on what web programming topics I need to study to get good at it. All I really know is that I'll need to know Javascript, HTML and CSS.

    Can someone please help me regarding my project?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 11:01 PM PST

    Hello,

    I am an absolute beginner in programming. I'm currently a university student studying python and we were asked to do a project. Ironically, I decided on the hardest idea (at least for me). I decided to make a messaging desktop application.

    So, I did all sorts of research about sockets and tried to understand everything to the best of my ability. I even found a sample code of the server and client made by sentdex on youtube, but I just couldn't understand how he did the server and client's code. The way he explained it in his videos was quite vague.

    I might be asking for a lot, but could someone please just explain what he did?

    THE LINK TO THE SERVER PART: https://pythonprogramming.net/server-chatroom-sockets-tutorial-python-3/

    THE LINK TO THE CLIENT PART: https://pythonprogramming.net/client-chatroom-sockets-tutorial-python-3/

    Also, there is a slight problem that occurs: How can I modify the code so that when a client sends a message the other clients receive the message simultaneously? (i.e without needing enter to update)

    Thank you all in advance.

    How do I hide Gecko Driver when running a Python script?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2020 06:06 PM PST

    The title is pretty self-explanatory. I have a python script that runs Selenium, and everything works great. I've got a GUI working, and can just double click the script like an exe and have it run perfectly. The problem is when I actually run the tasks, it pops open the command line every time gecko driver is run. The program needs to not show the command line at all because the person I'm making this for is a luddite. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening? Thank you!

    I've started with the Odin project and I'm still at the beginning, however, I feel like giving up already. But I'm going to stick with it because I have an end goal in mind of where I want to see myself in a year. Just want to say it to everyone here who is trying to get in to coding, Don't Give up. Remind yourself as to why you got started in the first place. Stick with it. Keep going and you'll soon be able to code. All the best, fellow beginners.

    How to Fill in Skill Gaps for CodeWars

    I don't think I learned enough about C++ to comprehend the code on Codewars. A lot of it I haven't seen before.

    I took a C++ intro course at a CC, but I'm unsure of how to actually write C++ code in the way most warriors on CodeWars know how to do.

    Where can I get some more skills and training that'll prepare me to take on kata challenges?
