| Wrote my first code today at work and it worked - I am VERY pleased Posted: 16 Jan 2020 04:03 PM PST I'm doing an internship at a large car company and I wrote a switch statement in C that is being committed to the master source code for the entire company. Small steps, but I figured out the solution all by myself and I am extremely excited. [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone have advice for someone to stay determined and focused when learning a programming language? Posted: 16 Jan 2020 11:25 AM PST Currently I am learning c++ and I find it hard to keep myself determined to keep going and I find myself losing focus. I have these occasional days where I am really determined to learn and get all prepared but then the next day I'm avoiding it. I really need some advice [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2020 02:35 AM PST Hey Im studying computer science and we have started with c++. I am enjoying programming and I think i have the basic knowledge including classes, data structures. My uni project was about dynamic data structures . It went well i think and im done early with it, so currently I dont have much to learn for my uni, so i figured i will do stuff by myself. My idea is that I want to make small game, it could be fun to do, so im thinking about learning stl for a bit and then focus on sdl and trying to make game like tetris. Is it the right order and is it even good idea? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2020 11:24 AM PST I have been working with computer programs for around 3-4 years. But even after all these years I have no fundamental knowledge in any language. I know a bit of python, that's it. But I have completed few projects that are really complex. If I am given a task I somehow complete it by googling, reading tutorials, browsing stack exchange, etc.... But I don't retain any of the information and the next time I start working it's like starting from scratch. I started TOP project last week and completed the first few lessons but now after 3 days I don't remember any of them. Is this normal? What can I do to overcome this? TL;DR : I forget whatever I learn. Looking for suggestions on how to retain information Edit: Thank you for everyone that responded. I am going to try all your suggestions and hopefully improve. I also found this resource online that teaches you how to learn. It has got some good reviews, hope this helps for anyone that is on the same situation as me. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2020 09:50 PM PST Right now, i am struggling to pay attention to JavaScript. I dont hate it, but i definitely dont love it either. I feel like I am just making toys. I dont really care for making pretty webpages. The harder I push on it the more and more doubts I have on myself to keep coding and I just tucker out. I like to code, its become something I just like to tinker with and I do have have some fun with. I have been wanting to go into the modding scene just for fun and learn C# on the way to see where that goes but I feel like I am completely abandoning basically a years work learning JavaScript to basically embark on an illfaded misadventure into another language. What am I doing wrong? I am at the point where I just have severe doubts about myself and think about just certing up and going to IT. [link] [comments]  |
| How to Think Like a Programmer? Posted: 17 Jan 2020 12:20 AM PST I know past posts have probably touched across this question, but how do you think like a programmer? I am a struggling Computer Science college student, and for the love of god I am struggling in my programming classes because I just can't seem to get my head in the game. I am currently learning Python right now. Any tips? [link] [comments]  |
| What math is required for data science/machine learning? Posted: 16 Jan 2020 10:37 PM PST Is it very important that I go through the full calculus series (1, 2, and 3)? Or is calc 1 or else 1 and 2 sufficient? How about linear algebra? How about Stats/probability? Also, if I've been homeschooled and am comfortable self-learning, is it possible to learn the related math within the context of data science and machine learning/AI, by studying math courses with a specific focus on those subjects? E.g. UW has a stats class "STAT 180 Introduction to Data Science" that doesn't require math beyond basic algebra or possibly calc 1, so I wonder if there are texts or courses on data science outside of university that teach you the pertinent math as you go. Note that in any case I will have Calc 1 under my belt as I'm currently enrolled in the class and doing well. [link] [comments]  |
| 51 y/o IT professional considering taking a bootcamp to get back into development - opinions? Posted: 16 Jan 2020 02:07 PM PST Hi all - Like the title says, I'm 51 and have been in IT for a long, long time. In the 90's I was a pretty solid developer, building tons of applications largely using Visual Basic + SQL Server. I was very strong on he database side and had over about 7 years did a wide variety of projects. I have a CIS (Computer Information Science) bachelor's degree from a noit-so-prestigious university, but at least it's something. We studied Java to learn OOP back then, and while Im not interested in becoming a Java dev it's great knowledge. By 2001 I was leading a team of 100+ developers at a services company. After the dotcom boom I opened my own little company ,and worked with clients helping them to plan and implement a wide variety of applications. Since then, I've been on the management side of things rather than the dev side. I am great at building and managing teams, and I've always found great tech leads to run the day-to-day of the work while I deal with the business, the clients, etc. I am a very experience PM and have overseen the building of tons of apps, websites, applications ranging from little MVPs to enterprise apps. Over the years, I've done a lot of consulting with larger organizations that are trying to improve their development process, and have helped them with things like source control, requirement management and general SDLC consulting. Along the way I wound up doing some light programming here and there, i..e writing small applications in perl to enable a process model, lots of Windows/DOS scripting, occasional JavaScript to tweak-front ends, etc. I have also done countless little journeys into the codebases of apps, wordpress sites, angular, etc. to do tiny fixes that require little skill. I have a good knowledge of html/css and can do do simple things. I'm sure I could do more, but I have never really spent any time digging into code because I always told myself 'I don't really code anymore, let the experts do it now!" This year, I decided to wind down my business and consulting because I just want to be a developer again. I want to put on headphones and spend lots of time just writing code, like I used to! I miss it. But the truth is, I need to catch up with the 'new stuff' and get my skills current. I am looking for a way to quickly learn my way around JavaScript, maybe MEAN stack, and would be open to learning my way around python or possibly Ruby but mostly I think JavaScript is a good option for me. I am thinking about doing a bootcamp, but I can't decide which way to go. Some of the cheaper ones like Trilogy have bad reviews, but for a returning learning like me that has a decent background in software, it might be enough. But then, I worry that it might be too introductory at times. Or maybe I'm kidding myself and I should brace myself for a learning challenge that will overwhelm me. Mostly, I'm looking for a good way to go from where I am right now to being an employable JavaScript dev, and from there I will figure out a specialty and just start cranking away. Does anyone have any advice?? thanks!! [link] [comments]  |
| Finding meaning and self-actualization as a developer / software engineer Posted: 16 Jan 2020 10:12 PM PST I want to know how your job (or this field) contributes to becoming a better version of yourself? Does it make you feel like you're making a significant impact improving people's lives? Or is it just a field where you have a good opportunity to critically think and learn while earning a comfortable wage? I finished a CS masters, and have an interesting job. I thought that's all I wanted. Realizing now that I want a job where I can devote myself completely to and make some kind of beneficial impact on others, or at the very least on the body of knowledge of my sub field. All motivation to go back to school for a PhD so I have a shot at academia or a full time research job in industry. Alternatively abandon software development as a career and learn something else. I wouldn't call it wasted time / money, it's all part of life and it has been an interesting trip so far. Not looking for anyone to make life decisions for me! However, I want to hear what you find intrinsically fulfilling about programming, software development and the careers surrounding these technical skills? One of the most powerful things I can see is that something you develop could easily be used by a large portion of the population in your country, or even the world. Whether its web development to connect us together, games for entertainment, database software to track our information for finances or healthcare, applications that connect us, or lower level like operating system development what we build can be quite impactful. Any perspective on the "deeper" side of software development beyond just being a paycheck would be much appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2020 06:23 PM PST First of all excuse me if i've written poor English as it is not my mother tongue. I recently quit my miserable nursing assistant job that was affecting my mental health. i don't even know why i chose that profession in school when i've been always interested in the computer world ever since i was a small kid. A little info about me: I'm 24 years old and live in Sweden. I've taken some Web-Development courses before and gotten a very well understanding of both HTML and CSS (No JavaScript). I've tried learning basic C++ and failed hard but it could be due that the lecture book was very old and horrible at explaining things. Now i'm looking to get into the IT career and i'm open to anything that would help me land a job in about ~6months. My math isn't the strongest but i'm always open to learn more. Right now i don't know if should continue learning Web Development because it seems a bit overwhelming and oversaturated that when i look at work from home sites like Upwork and see people willing to work for even 6 dollars an hour, i lose a bit of motivation. Also in my area where i live companies are mostly looking for Web developers specialized with .NET framework or PHP. I'm asking for your advice Reddit. [link] [comments]  |
| Is this proper database denomalization Posted: 17 Jan 2020 12:28 AM PST Below record type is going into Firestore. I've designed it to reduce queries by not having separate tables for customer details, order notes, and products. This is a payout form. The customer will submit a buyback request and be given a Buyback Id to track their request as it goes from pending to a potential issue to paid/closed. ? indicates optional fields. My main concern is the nested array of product details (in typescript {} for the object, [] at the end to signify its nested in an array). I know that will require extra programming to issue updates/adjustments on. At least it should stay a single query though. As this is an extension, mostly not interacting with the rest of the APIs I think the schema suits it well and minimizes queries. Would you guys change anything? [link] [comments]  |
| Massive Slowdown with pen Function? Posted: 17 Jan 2020 12:05 AM PST Novice programmer here, starting out with Python. I've gotten through a few beginner tutorials, just trying to get the basics down. Today I started that tutorial that was trending on either this, or a related sub (Learn Python by programming five games? About seven hours long) Anyways, the first game shown is Pong. I follow along step by step, testing the program after every function added. Everything is working flawlessly UNTIL I use the turtle "pen" command to enter a scoreboard at the top. The ball slows significantly and becomes inconsistent in its speed. I spent about half an hour rewinding the video and double-checking my program, everything was identical. When I delete the pen line, everything returns to normal. I couldn't find any related problems in the comments or google searches. I'm doing this on a pretty old laptop, but I emailed it to my MacBook and the results appear to be the same. I'm fairly sure this isn't user-error, as the program is designed to keep ball speed consistent with it's start projection. This could be something obvious I don't know about, but I just wanted to check with someone who knows more than me (anyone who's been programming for more than a month) Thanks! tl;dr turtle pen command slows ball in pong.

| Online degree vs Normal degree Posted: 16 Jan 2020 11:37 PM PST Hey all, So I am trying to plan out my career. I have been teaching myself programming for a couple months and plan to finish college (I have an associates in an unrelated subject) once I am out of the military. I am wondering if it would make sense to get an online degree (Western Governors University) in order to get a degree as quick as possible while being able to have another job to make money. Or should I go to a university (University of California at San Diego) ? I know that UCSD would look better on a resume as it is one of the top computer science programs in the nation but would it look so much better to warrant the additional year or two that I could be getting started with my career? As I am getting out of the military my college will be paid for so money is not really an issue. Just want to know y'all's opinions on what would be best for long term success in this field.

| Automotive Service Technician to Computer Programmer/Drastic Career Changes Posted: 16 Jan 2020 08:38 AM PST Hi everyone, I'm a career Automotive Service Technician with a lifelong love of computers and all things technology. I'm looking to take on computer programming as a hobby, with an eye towards a potential career change at some point in the future. I haven't seen much info on anyone attempting this on the internet really anywhere so i was wondering a few things. First, if there were any like minded people in the community? If so, do you have any advice or guidance as to how or when you made the transition? And second if anyone has made a similarly audacious career move? What are some of your stories?

| What are common jr. developer errors? Programming, work life, etc Posted: 16 Jan 2020 11:01 AM PST Hi everyone, didn't see a post on this in the channel so I thought I'd throw it out there. Hopefully can help juniors and seniors understand problems better together. For me a common one is I don't often see juniors understand efficiency/scalability very well. There's always a 'this gets the job done at the moment' mentality that I find leaves more landmines than not. [link] [comments]  |

| Question regarding the Hanoi Towers Problem Posted: 16 Jan 2020 12:15 PM PST Hello everyone! I am learning python using different supports. One of them is the MIT openclass videos. I just started and I am facing a problem. In one of the video we talked about the Hanoi towers. Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical puzzle where we have three rods and n disks. The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following simple rules:
Here is the code for the problem: Now, the code works perfectly. My problem is that I absolutely do not understand it. And the teacher in the video is really great, but he went like "see, it works, easy!" and moved on. Not easy for me. In addition, I was also wondering how i could count how many moves occur when the program runs ? (but understanding it is more important!) Thank you really much to whoever can explain that to me ! EDIT: Thank you all for tanking the time to explain everything to me! you guys are awesome I have a way better grab on the problem and its solution now! I need to practice to be able to solve that kind of things by myslef! Thank you so much ! [link] [comments]  |
| Question about algorithm in graphs Posted: 16 Jan 2020 10:47 PM PST I have this question : Given undirected graph G = (V,E), V ∋ v and non-negative weights W find if there is an MST where v is a leaf and if there is, return it. I thought about running prim algorthem from vertex v to find a MST with v in it and than check if v is a leaf. I am just don't know how to find all the MST's that contain v. Am I in the right way to solve this problem or should I start thinking in another way? [link] [comments]  |

| What can I use to create a script that constantly refreshes a webpage and checks a text on the page?

| Posted: 16 Jan 2020 06:33 PM PST Hello, I'm running into a weird problem. To be honest, not sure if it's even a problem. I don't have an issue installing libraries it's just what I have to type that is confusing me When I watch videos or read about a library, they all say enter "pip install [library]" But I have to enter "py -m pip install [library]" Now this wasn't a problem until now. I installed a library and for whatever reason, pycharm isn't picking it up. When I look at the error it says it needs to install the library. When I try and get it to install the library it throws another error saying it tried to install the library using "pip install [library]". I was having some other library troubles but until now I'd been able to figure it out. Did I mess something up when I installed python? Really confusing edit: I already imported the library through command prompt. It's definitely installed. I just tried to import the library through IDLE and it's saying the module isn't there. So I'm not sure what's going on [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2020 10:11 PM PST So I tried to learn C++ in college and failed spectacularly at learning anything useful. Idk if it's a common experience to have the way programming is taught in college just do absolutely nothing for you but that's what happened to me. The whole experience left me with a low opinion of my professors and a strong aversion to C++. Lately I've been very interested in making a game or something up that alley and have been shopping for a language, hoping to pick up a modern on like Rust because I like the idea of learning something "cutting edge". I was VERY excited when I first read about vlang but... The viability of V seems to be a bit up in the air atm and most people still seem to be recommending C++. SO: TL;DR Can anyone here tell me how to actually learn C++ and not have it be a grueling, mind-numbingly horrible experience? [link] [comments]  |
| The Odin Project - Which learning track to pursue? Posted: 16 Jan 2020 10:01 PM PST Hello, Complete beginner here trying to learn how to code. I know TOPS is highly recommended to begin learning, but I was wondering which track should I pursue? I've recently read that Ruby on Rails is losing steam. My question is, should I pursue the Full Stack Javascript or Front End only as a beginner? Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| It's been awhile since I've programmed, what are the best crashcourse sources for c++? Posted: 16 Jan 2020 09:54 PM PST Long story short it's been awhile since I've programmed and I just need a quick refresher/crash course on c++ for the basics like functions, arrays, classes, all that intro stuff you'd learn before you move onto data structures. What should I use to complete this task? [link] [comments]  |
