    Automate the Boring Stuff with Python Udemy course is free until Apr 7th

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 01:11 PM PDT

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

    (EDIT: The HTML book is free online, but you can get the PDF/Kindle ebook of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python in this week's Humble Bundle in support of cornavirus relief (Direct Relief, International Rescue Committee, Doctors Without Borders, Partners In Health)

    You can also click this link or manually enter the code: APR2020FREE (on Saturday the code changes to APR2020FREE2)

    https://www.udemy.com/course/automate/?couponCode=APR2020FREE

    This promo code works until April 7th (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 next month.

    You can also purchase the course at a discount using my code APR2020 or MAY2020 (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:

    • This course is for beginners and assumes no previous programming experience, but the second half is useful for experienced programmers who want to learn about various third-party Python modules.
    • 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 is now available online: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/2e/
    • 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.

    Is it true that as time goes by, you know how to write a code but dont necessarily understand how it works?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 12:26 AM PDT

    I have seen memes like : Day 1 of programming : dont know how to write it and dont know how it works Day 1000 of programming : I do know how to write it but I dont know how it works

    Is it a big part of your programming life ? What kind of percentage of your knowledge is like this?

    New Podcast to Help While Learning Web Development

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 09:10 PM PDT

    Hey guys, I'm only about a year into my journey of learning web dev, but I'm stepping out and starting a podcast to genuinely and transparently share my experiences along the way, including passing along as many helpful tips and insights. Emphasis on genuine and transparent because I want whoever listens to be encouraged but also know they're not crazy when they feel like punching their computer screen when they're having a hard time wrapping their mind around some JavaScript concept.

    Anyways, I just uploaded the first episode so feel free to listen and share any feedback or ideas for what you want to hear/talk about. I would love for this to be a community-centered show where we can all benefit from each other's experiences. I'd even be down for getting some of you on the show.

    The show is called Code Warrior and is available most places right now, like Spotify and Google. It should be up on Apple Podcasts in about a week. And hey, even if it's just one person out there who this benefits, it's totally worth it!

    Stanford is Offering Their Free Introductory CS Class Online as a MOOC!

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 11:15 AM PDT

    https://www.stanforddaily.com/2020/03/31/stanford-to-offer-free-online-cs-class-during-pandemic/

    If you're starting to learn how to code, and you would appreciate the structure that comes along with a college course, Stanford is offering it's introductory CS course, CS106A, for free as a MOOC! Unlike other MOOCs, you won't just be watching lectures and coding by yourself, you'll get the opportunity to meet once a week in classes with 106A section leaders (Read TAs), to replicate the experience of taking the class at Stanford! Called Code in Place, this program covers the first five weeks of Stanford's 106A class. If you are interested in taking the class or interested in being a section leader for the class, there are instructions in the article above (The article also has a diagnostic quiz to tell you if the class would be helpful)!

    Feel free to PM me with any questions! I had tried to teach myself how to code many times, and failed a bunch until I took 106A at Stanford during the fall of last year, which is when everything began to click for me! I can't recommend it enough!

    Desparate for help, I'm so far behind in a MATLAB Course and this Virus has sent me even further back.

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 10:22 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I understand that this subreddit is for people learning programming, and not for help in general. I looked at Programming Buddies, but I felt it wasnt the right place. Anyway, on to my issue.

    I'm hoping to find someone proficient in MATLAB who may be able to help me get caught up/help me with college homework. I'm so far behind that my professor has deemed me unable to catch up, and that I will most likely have to retake the course. I simply cannot let this happen, I've invested too much money and time into college to let this go.

    Even if I have to retake the course in the end, I want to give this my best shot for the end of the semester in 5 weeks, and if need-be be prepared to take it again next semester. I have three homeworks I need to make up if I can. I was hoping I could find someone who has the time and ability to sit down over discord/skype/zoom/*insert preferred communication here* that can help me with these homeworks quickly.

    This is a level 1 (basic) MATLAB course, so nothing that should be (hopefully) terribly difficult.

    Thank you for your time

    Fat_Feline.

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 04:16 AM PDT

    Hi guys,

    I've read the README

    I just have a quick overall question,

    Do you think it's possible to learn programming, at home, in order to do side gigs to try and make some money on the side - and potentially turn it into a full time job,

    Thanks,

    M.

    Need help in practicing python

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 12:29 AM PDT

    So I have started learning python and it's only been a week. I've learned half the course but I want to practice it but don't know how. So can someone point me in the right direction? I want some homework to do to practice.

    EDIT: does anyone have a discord server where I can do a two way communication about python? Thanks

    Are online programming courses worth it?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 04:09 AM PDT

    I'm currently at University studying coding and I'd like to broaden my knowledge on the side.

    I saw IGN post about StackSocial sale on :

    The 2020 Premium Learn To Code Certification Bundle

    Apparently it costs $2300 and now is available for $39 ?! Can something like this be any good?

    Has anyone used them before or actually brought this bundle?

    I'll also take any suggestions on what online courses are worth doing. I'm mainly looking at improving WPF & C# currently but will consider bundles containing other languages like the one mentioned above...

    Learning difficulties in Java

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 12:04 AM PDT

    Hey guys,

    Recently I've bought a class on Udemy by Tim Bachalka on learning Java programming. I like it I think it's very interesting, but I'm kind of worrying about my understanding of it we're doing coding exercises in my current section, and I don't think I have a good grasp in what I'm doing, for example methods. Is this the case other people have in coding where they feel as though they're not doing as great as they should be or is it just me? I feel as though with coding you have to nail everything in as you're learning it, and barely do you have to look things up. Is that true? Also after Java what should I learn next I'm kind of leaning towards Python or C++?

    What are some lightweight books that you can read before going to bed?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 03:17 AM PDT

    Recently i stumbled upon "JSON Quick Syntax Reference", "CSS Fonts" and "Essential PHP Security" books and i really liked the idea of reading short, lightweight books that cover some narrow topic. Can you guys recommend more similar books?

    [python] can anyone explain to me how this adding binary strings algorithm works??

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 03:15 AM PDT

    ​

    class Solution(object): def addBinary_2(self, a, b): if len(a)==0: return b if len(b)==0: return a curr_a = a[-1] curr_b = b[-1] a_2 = a[0:-1] b_2 = b[0:-1] add_binary_1 = self.addBinary_2(Solution, a_2, b_2) if curr_a == '1' and curr_b == '1': add_binary_2 = self.addBinary_2(Solution, add_binary_1,'1')+'0' return add_binary_2 if curr_a == '0' and curr_b == '0': return add_binary_1 + '0' else: return add_binary_1 + '1' print(Solution.addBinary_2(Solution, "11", "1"))

    Input: two binary strings like "11" and "01"/"1" and adds it

    output : "100"

    Streaming a video from url across multiple browsers.

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 03:08 AM PDT

    About a month ago I came across a site that allowed a party of people to:

    • join a server.
    • Enter a url for a video. Online movie or YouTube.
    • Watch together in sync.

    I don't recall the name but I wanted to know how it was possible or what would be a point in the right direction for that using python.

    The only resources I was able to find seemed to be only for YouTube.

    I'm looking for an overall module. One that could handle iframes and youtube.

    Any help and point in the right direction would be great.

    Looking for recommendations to learn code

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 06:36 PM PDT

    Hi! I'm trapped at home with no job for at least a month. I've always wanted to learn to code and figured right now not having the time is not an acceptable excuse. A friend of mine recommended a nanodegree on udacity to learn code from scratch but I've found many opinions regarding udacity. It's not what I would consider cheap, $400 a month in my country and the degree lasts for around 4 month so my question is, Is this money well spent or can I find something as good for less money? I know dedication is key for any self-taught skill but in this case, since my economic future is not certain, I would like some opinions before paying. Thanks in advance!

    Noob questions about structs in c

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 01:28 AM PDT

    If I have some code like this:

    #include <stdio.h> struct Static { int x; } stat; struct StaticAutomatic { int x; }; int main(void) { struct StaticAutomatic staticAutomatic; printf("%d %d", stat.x, staticAutomatic.x); return 0; }

    0 0 gets printed out to the console. My question is about how initialization of data members works with structs. stat is declared globally, so, if I understand correctly, all its data members will be initialized to their 0 value. However, staticAutomatic isn't declared globally. What's going on here? staticAutomatic isn't declared globally, is it guaranteed to be initialized to 0? Is that not defined by the standard and my compiler is doing it anyway? Thanks!

    What language to use for Android and iOS video chatting and social media app?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 12:50 AM PDT

    I'm trying to build an app that starts with android and then comes to IOS and then later Mac and PC as a web app. This app will have gesture controls like pinch to zoom and swipes. It will also have some animations such as zooming in and out.

    If I start with Java and write it in eclipse or android studio, what is the process of bringing that app to IOS?

    I'm new to programming, so sorry if it's a stupid question. Can I use SDK/APIs from different providers? Like one from Amazon web services for video chatting and one from Google services for calender?

    If this app is to be brought to China, would the APIs still work if Google play services is blocked in China?

    Thanks in advance.

    Need some advice on a stack to use for an app I have in mind.

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 12:47 AM PDT

    I am a Unity / C# programmer, I've been doing it for 4 years. I rarely if at all stray outside of Unity which I think is bad. I created a translation application a while ago using Unity (because that's what I'm comfortable with) but it's so overkill and so I want to rewrite the app in a different stack / framework. Basically the only requirements is that a text file (book or magazine) needs to be readable, Google translate and google text to speech API calls need to be made, and the text and sound needs to be displayed / played to the user.

    Id like it to be deployable on both android and ios as well as windows and mac if possible, so I was thinking something like Electron or something.

    Any advice is welcome!

    How do you draw arrows to represent what a variable points to?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 08:46 PM PDT

    int a = 10; int b = a;

    ​

    This always confused me, how would I draw this visually using an arrow. The direction of the arrow always confused me.

    b points to a which points to 10, b---->a----->10

    or are the arrows reversed? b<----a<----10

    and is there an explanation of why it's one way and not the other?
