    Devs that have gotten a developer job without a technical degree. I’m feeling unmotivated lately due to the lack of belief that I can pull this off without a degree.

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 12:29 PM PDT

    I'm (27m) just wondering what my realistic chances are at becoming a successful front end developer/developer without having a degree, solely relying on my personal projects to get my foot into the door.

    Devs that have made it

    1. How did you get past the emotions of imposter syndrome while learning?

    2. What personal projects helped you get into the door?

    3. How is life now as a self taught developer vs when you were trying to land your first job?

    4. What was your starting salary and the state that your first gig was located in?

    Springer released a lot of its books for free!

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 02:06 PM PDT

    Is there a programming book like this?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 11:32 AM PDT

    One that teaches math and programming at the same time. For example, it would introduce a topic of linear algebra and then follow it up with a small programming project where that concept can be applied to. Then repeat that process (introducing a math topic and showing a program where it can be used).

    Browsing Amazon, I found three on the topic (Doing Math with Python, Math Adventures with Python, Learn Math with Java), but they mostly attempt to teach their respective language by solving little math problems. Not what I'm looking for.

    Does anyone know another one?

    Thanks.

    I am lost!!!

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 10:49 PM PDT

    Hey Guys!!

    I just graduated with Bachelors in Computing Systems. As a part of my degree I also did a programming internship but even though I have successfully graduated I am not confident in my coding skills, this has led to so much stress and anxiety that I am thinking this is not for me. I want to get a job as a programmer and want to be good at it. What do I do to get better and gain confidence in my coding and how do i stay motivated during this time.

    Thank you

    Access Violation When Adding String to Linked List. C++

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 11:39 PM PDT

    So here is my code for the struct.

     struct tutor { int TutorID; string TutorName; string dateJoined; tutor* next; tutor* prev; }; tutor* start = NULL;

    And here is my code for adding data to the struct: 

    void addTutor(string name) { //Tail insertion struct tutor* newnode = (struct tutor*) malloc(sizeof(struct tutor)); newnode->TutorName = name; newnode->prev = NULL; newnode->next = start; if (start != NULL) start->prev = newnode; start = newnode; }

    Whenever I try calling the function: 

    addTutor("test1"); addTutor("test2");

    I get an error on this line:

    newnode->prev = NULL;

    The error is:
    Access violation writing location 0xCDCDCDCD.

    how long did it take you to feel like you actually had valuable programming skills/knowledge?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 11:37 PM PDT

    I have been programming basically daily for the last year and a half and the more i program/learn the more less i feel like i know and that there's so much more that i don't know. How long did it take you to feel like you had valuable knowledge/skills?

    New app for you to be paired with programming buddies stress-free

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 07:39 PM PDT

    It's unbelievably sad if you want to build cool stuff with other programmers, there really isn't an adequate platform to find the right partner.

    Some have heard of Chingu. For those that haven't, it's a long 2-month program with a ton of steps that aims to match you with others. And, by the way, it isn't free. $129 just to do what the platform I'll be sharing with you can do for free. Use that $129 and spend it on a date with your partner, a sci-fi movie with your best friend, a trip to a concert, and still have some money left.

    Others have probably heard of /r/codetogether, /r/progether, or /r/programmingbuddies. Well, two out of those three subreddits are dead. The problem with this sort of layout is that makes finding a partner difficult because of three areas: skill, availability, and interest. You reply to a post (or make one) and pray to God that you strike luck with the other person.

    Not anymore. Forget that fear and let netbee find you the perfect partner while you enjoy that sweet bowl of chocolate ice cream. No need to worry about that guy that wants you to build his Ever-Amazing-Startup-Idea-3000 for a piece of the company if it goes big joining our platform. No need to worry about finding someone that doesn't live across the other side of the globe. And don't worry about meeting an amazing programming partner only to find out they code in PHP (sorry, PHP folks).

    The days of going through multiple pounding migraines just to find a code partner are over. Start with netbee today.

    Smash that thumbs-up if you want to discover more.

    Hopefully this is good. I spent 4 days and a ton of ink drafting this idea.

    Started learning DSA but can't seem to implement it in code.

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 10:49 PM PDT

    I learnt about greedy algorithm, brute force algorithm, decision tree, DFS and BFS. Although I understood the theory I can't convert it into actual code.

    Prolog help

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 08:28 PM PDT

    Hi. I have an assignment to create a family tree in Prolog, with relationships between people such as

    "father(X,Y) :- X is the father of Y."

    I have tried using literally just that and it didn't work, SWI-Prolog gave me this error when trying to consult the file:

    ERROR: [Thread pce] c:/users/test/documents/prolog/a3family.pl:1:24: Syntax error: Operator expected

    Can you help me with the syntax of these types of statements, I have previously only used prolog for math.

    No prior background in programming. Watching/auditing Harvard's CS50 via Youtube and edx. Getting easily lost. What can I do to understand things better?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 05:38 PM PDT

    I am getting easily lost. What can I do to understand the concepts better when I watch the videos? Or does my inability to comprehend things well indicate that computer science just ain't for me?

    Question as someone wanting to work in this field

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 05:36 PM PDT

    Hello, I'm a french 16 years old student (I apologise in advance if I make any English mistakes), and I wanted to ask some questions to peoples working in the field of programming. Because of some recent changes in the school system in my country, I'm not sure anymore that I'll be able to do the studies that I wanted to, and so I wanted to ask if it is "possible" to professionally become a programmer without making higher studies (I already started to learn on my own). I'm really confident in my abilities in this field, but I really fear that without any kind of studies I won't be able to get a job in the future :/ (PS: I'm not sure if this is the good place to post this, but I couldnt find another better fitting subreddit to ask, so sorry if it's not the right place)

    I’ve struggled with every single assignment I’ve had so far and didn’t turn in all but two so far

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 06:29 PM PDT

    The two I handed in received failing grades and were completely wrong. I just don't understand Java at all, I can't put together code to save my life. My professor doesn't help at all, I email him every time I try to do one of his assignments and he just rephrased the assignment and tells me to think about it, and nothing else. I fail to understand what I don't understand and it's so aggravating. I watch videos, read the book, take all the notes and I'm hitting a wall every time. Idek what to do anymore and just need to vent.

    We're doing a knapsack class for an assignment due soon, and I can't figure it out. I don't know how to make the weight of added items not go over the max weight of the bag, and so I can't do the core of this assignment. I did the array list (I think) but can't figure the rest out.

    Any tips or resources for somebody who's incredibly stupid to learn how to code an actual problem on java?

    Stanford University's Computer Science department is holding a unique MOOC called 'Code in Place.' This is a free course to learn python. It is a live class environment and not a typical video-based curriculum.

    Message Transformation Using XSLT

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 11:35 PM PDT

    I'm calling an endpoint, and getting a XML response. I want to run that XML response through XSLT, How can I do that ?

    I have only the basic understanding of XSLT. I discovered it day before yesterday and since then studying on it. Any help on this highly appreciated.

    Example xml:

    <class> <student rollno = "393"> <firstname>Alex</firstname> <lastname>Benjimin</lastname> <nickname>AlexG</nickname> <marks>30</marks> <age>18</age> </student> <student rollno = "493"> <firstname>Mathew</firstname> <lastname>Helm</lastname> <nickname>Makkie</nickname> <marks>50</marks> <international>true</international> </student> </student> <student rollno = "493"> <firstname>Mathew</firstname> <lastname>Helm</lastname> <nickname>Makkie</nickname> <marks>95</marks> <international>true</international> </student> .......... </class>

    I want to use condition in XSLT for if (marks > 60 && international==true), if only these conditions are satisfied I want to pass/save the XML elements.

    Output:

     </student> <student rollno = "493"> <firstname>Mathew</firstname> <lastname>Helm</lastname> <nickname>Makkie</nickname> <marks>95</marks> <international>true</international> </student> .......

    Is this doable using XSLT ?

    P.S. Some attributes are present for only specific students only (ie age).

    For anyone who has taken the Princeton Algorithms courses (I & II) without Java being their main language, how difficult was it to learn DS&A with it being in Java?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 07:46 PM PDT

    I understand data structures and algorithms are language agnostic. I'm planning on learning these concepts soon, and I wanted to know if people found any difficulty trying to implement the DS&A from Java → their main language.

    what is a multi line comment block for a method?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 07:46 PM PDT

    my professor wants me to add a muti line comment block at the beginning of my method as a CODING STYLE GUIDELINES. He's unresponsive right now so i am turning to reddit

    Is this the same thing as the comment block in the beginning to a program that states the author, date it was programmed etc? but for a method?

    What do you exactly write for a multi line comment block for a method? How do i format it?

    thank you

    [JS] How would you make functions that will only be used as part of class methods, and not intended to be used directly?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 11:23 PM PDT

    imagine: 

    class Banana { static helperMethod(){} normalMethod() { this.helperMethod() alert("banana") } } class Potato extends Banana { newMethod() { Banana.helperMethod(); alert("potato") } }

    From this you see the I have no idea when to use static. And I would like to know whether people actually made modules only to be used as parts of other modules, and how to use them and how they behave while inherited.

    thanks!

    Should you unit test request you send to another Api?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 11:17 PM PDT

    Consider the following method. It builds a request and calls another api and checks for errors.

    public void addStudent(Student student) {

    Request request = Request.builder()

    .name(student.getName())

    .number(student.getNumber())

    .build();

    try{

    Response response = managementApi.addStudent(request);

    } catch (Exception e) {

    log.error("Exception is thrown);

    }

    if (response.isSuccessful()) {

    throw new Exception("Error while adding a student.");

    }

    }

    I wonder;

    1. Should you unit test request? Like check if you set name and number correctly?
    2. Is there a better way to write this code? Since it seems doing three things (building request, sending request, checking errors)

    Thanks!

    Is it OK if I just keep watching tutorials constantly for a while?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 10:05 AM PDT

    So i've been doing Swift programming since this lockdown happened. now I've tried programming since November but kept quitting over and over again so i'm gonna say i'm brand new to it since I remember basically nothing from it now except variables. So to stop me from getting super frustrated and quitting again this time i've just bought a whole bunch of started tutorials from various developers and when something gets too complex or I just get too frustrated I try and do it anyways as best I can, if I can't get it I will go to another tutorial and basically rinse and repeat.

    ​

    In the last 2 weeks I'd say i've learned a bit (probably get like 2% of what I watch and do), it hasn't been much but for the first time I haven't seriously thought about quitting. I've been getting frustrated and angry but still been consistent in my learning. These courses all have challenges and will ask me to do my own research which I've accomplished about 1/2 of the time. My question is, is this a sustainable way for me to learn Swift enough to the point where I can get the grasp of it and start making my own stuff. By making my own I don't mean "Will i know everything and not need help" I know I will be constantly looking online and trying to figure things out in the career path. what i'm asking is will this be enough for me to get the fundamentals, understand the structures involved and be able to do my research effectively?

    ​

    Just some info on what i'm consuming:

    ​

    Ray Wenderlich

    Sean Allen's new toturial

    Design Code IO

    Angela Yu's course on udemy

    Coding with Chris (Just his youtube content)

    Hacking with Swift

    On average I spend anywhere from 2-4 hours a day. Thank You

    Career paths for self-taught programmers

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 12:47 PM PDT

    It seems like most entry level programming jobs, especially those that don't require a college degree, are all in web or mobile app dev. Is this true?

    I'd like to get into data analysis or embedded software, but I'd also like to get hired ASAP (after this whole global pandemic thing blows over). Is my time best spent learning skills and tools for those roles? Or would you recommend that I start out by looking for some sort of web dev job to start getting experience under my belt?

    Script for Hex to ASCII Text Converter

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 10:19 PM PDT

    HI, I'm trying to covert hex number into ASCII text and for that I used xxd. but the issue with that it's not throwing any output

    For Example I used

    echo 686973746F7279200D6C73202D6C7472200D6E206E657473746174730D6E20696E666F200D6E207374617475730D657869740D | xxd -r -p

    but it's not giving me any output

    Is there any other way to covert this without the help of online generator? Please help!!

    What's your process for preparing specs/initial documentation for a project?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 10:18 PM PDT

    I've been working as a software engineer and have some off time between jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I have an idea that I'd like to implement, and I think it's worth the time to write a good technical documentation for the specs/scope/etc before writing a single line of code. This is partly due to the fact that my previous personal projects either go over/under developed and went out of hand.

    Is there a de facto standard with writing technical documentation? Or at least one where lots of devs/PMs have vetted on?

    Thanks and keep safe!

    Coding for a non-urgent job?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 10:17 PM PDT

    A disclaimer is I'm not in a rush to get a job in this field, and I am (re)learning C# and Unity to make games (since my CS degree a decade ago) for fun on the side.

    The question is, if I did want to move into the programming field. What is the best language to learn?

    I'm assuming Python? (Or is it Java or C or?) If so, what kind of projects/portfolio things should I try doing over the next year or two?

    Thanks!
