| Some positive r/learnprogramming encouragement for anyone who needs it Posted: 26 Jun 2020 03:04 PM PDT I'm posting this here because I honestly don't have anyone else to share it with or who knows anything about programming, so pre-apologies for the word vomit. Prior to Jan. 1 of this year, I knew 0 programming of any language. I think I changed some colors on my Xanga page back in 6th grade. Oddly enough, I work at a large, well-known Silicon Valley software company (not FAANG) as a SaaS Application Support Engineer. I'm about as close to the code as you can get without actually coding. My job is working with customers (namely sys. admins for Federal agencies) when our software breaks, and when it's not a configuration issue, bringing possible bugs back to our developers and PMs for testing, review, discussion, etc. This year, in an attempt to not be such a lazy shit, I told myself that I would try to put, at the bare minimum, 1 hour a day into learning a programming language. I chose Python. I started with Automate the Boring Stuff (thanks Al, you fucking rock) and Code Academy to pick up the syntax and become familiar with some of the standard libraries. Hell, at that point, I didn't know what a library was. Honestly guys, I didn't know what anything was. Like, I didn't realize that code or programs were essentially just files in folders, let alone modules, packages, or whole containers for hosting these programs. Nonetheless, I stuck with it (thanks Stack Overflow, you also rock). I'm nearly 6 months in at this point and so far I've kept my commitment. And what's great, is that I have put much, much more than 1 hour a day into my process. I'd say I average 3 hours a day if you count (thanks COVID-19, you don't rock... but you've allowed me to work from home and productively spend what downtime I have rather than blankly looking at a screen, pretending to do things in-front of my boss/peers). After getting comfortable with the syntax, I started fucking with Git, API's, AWS, CS50, and Code Wars. Quick tidbit --- if you're learning Python and HAVEN'T read Hitchhiker's Guide to Python, stop what you're doing and go read that beautiful mess. It's more important than this beast of a post. Anyway, as cool as r/Dataisbeautiful is, I wanted to do something with my newfound skills that would benefit my team. So I began building a bot that alerted my team and I in Slack when certain types of tickets were submitted to our Salesforce queue (we work on a ticketing system in SalesForce Lightning). I built it locally on my Windows machine first, then deployed it to an AWS EC2 using ngrok as a tunnel. Being the beginner that I am, I just ran it from the terminal on the EC2's localhost (not secure - I don't recommend this). It's actually helped my team a lot. We no longer miss these types of tickets when they enter our queue and one of the metrics/KPI's my boss is even rated on is looking better considering my team hits all these types of tickets when they come in. After seeing what I could do with this bot. I built another one. A better one for a different team that allows them to streamline their ticket reassignment system. This time I built a Flask server and deployed it to Heroku, allowing these teams to take a before, 11-step process (I counted) into a 2-step process. I will be pitching it as a genuine solution to a senior manager in two weeks. I guess I just wanted to say this: You're dreams of learning programming are possible. And it might take time to work at Google or be the cool guy on Reddit with "SWE" by their username who effortlessly posts the answers to impossible programming questions like some anonymous internet hero. But if you enjoy what you're doing, the time should fly by and the titles and bullshit should matter less. Even if the threshold is 30 minutes, hell even 15 minutes, I very much so encourage some small commitment of time that will facilitate a growing relationship between you and code, should you have interest. Know that you can become better, learn, and grow and have that satisfaction actualize within you in a way that I think is even more rewarding than the high salaries or reputation that seems to be so coveted in this sub. Good luck, everyone. Keep at it and may your persistent, never-ending feeling of idiocy inspire you to learn more than you ever thought possible. [link] [comments]  |
| Why do some people choose C++ as their first language? Posted: 27 Jun 2020 12:50 AM PDT As a CS major in my college days, I understand that most people started programming with C++ because of school requirements, but from reading some of the posts in this forum, it seems that there are also many people who chose it willingly as well, what are your reasons if you willingly chose C++ as your first language? I'm asking this because there's a huge opposition voice against choosing C++ as a first language, probably more than any other language, so I want to understand the other side's story.

| What to do after Harvard's GD50? Posted: 27 Jun 2020 12:01 AM PDT I completed Harvard's CS50x Introduction to Computer Science and am halfway through its follow up course GD50- Introduction to Game Development. However despite doing both these courses I still do not feel that I have even a molecule of the skills needed by an indie dev. What course can I do after this that would give me independent skills of an actual developer? It could be MOOCS, online video tutorials on youtube, anything. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Jun 2020 08:48 PM PDT Hi, so I tried to search up videos and articles that explain about OOP, but it seems like I still don't fully understand OOP and still feel uncomfortable about it. If anyone has any recommended YouTube Chanel that talks about OOP or a PDF file please let me know (I'm still preferred videos haha). Anyways, thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Can someone explain the practical value of classes in OOP? Posted: 26 Jun 2020 07:13 PM PDT I'm a self-taught programmer with a few years of experience, so I feel kind of stupid for asking this. But my focus has been on web development (PHP) so I haven't had a use (that I knew of) for classes. All of the descriptions in all of the courses I've taken have, remarkably, skimmed over the classes sections. So I know what they are used for, objects, of course, but I'm having a hard time finding where these are actually put into use. Could someone provide some code, or maybe a description that gives a clear definition to what classes are, how they work, and how we will actually use them? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Jun 2020 06:34 AM PDT I'm currently getting my Master's in Data Science and the amount of ads I see that tell me that I can become a Data Scientist by taking one online course is hilarious. I honestly find it humorous but also insulting to those who have done countless hours of studying and practicing to make learning these topics seem so easy. I feel even worse for the people that fall for it. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Jun 2020 09:52 PM PDT I started learning how to code about a month ago. Currently I am using books and Codecademy to practice programming for about two hours a day. I've learned the basics of html and css, and will soon be starting on JavaScript. Then I was thinking python or some other back end skills. I was also planning on learning Swift because I am interested in iOS development. Does this sound like a good plan? What skills would you add? This might be a difficult question to answer, but about how long doing this should it take me to become hireable as a junior dev? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Jun 2020 03:47 PM PDT Hi, first time posting here. I'm a beginner that is currently trying to learn Python. I am a 22 year old college sophomore in CIS (Full-Time student and unemployed). I am currently learning how to program for fun but I am thinking about maybe doing more with it in the future. I'm not quite sure what I want to do in the future (maybe web development?) but I am sure that I want to learn more about programming in python. (which is my first language) I think I have a relatively decent grasp of the basics but it's taken me several months to get to that point and I feel like I'm not learning at a very reasonable pace. So, I wanted to ask if you all had any advice on studying. Basically, I want to know things along the line of -How long should I study per day? -How much should I study per day? -Should I be learning new concepts every day? -Are there any specific roadmaps that I should follow? -Should I always be working on some kind of project? -How do I know when I'm ready to move onto learning a new concept? -How do I make a decent study plan to keep myself on track? -When watching videos, would it be best to code along with the video or watch the entire thing and then work on all of the concepts I just learned? And any other advice that you all are willing to share regarding how I should be studying. There's so many different resources online, that I've been a little overwhelmed on what I should do from here on so anything you all have to say would be much appreciated [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jun 2020 01:03 AM PDT I plan to learn dart, then flutter. Build some projects to have a little portfolio, then learn kotlin, and hopefully after that maybe next couple years I'll be able to buy a Mac to learn swift. I don't have any programming knowledge. I've tried learning web dev in the past, but HTML and CSS just seemed boring. I always stopped intermediary way. And without it, I can't really learn JS. So I've decided to focus on mobile apps. I'm asking this question because it means I'll never have knowledge of HTML, CSS and JS. I can read and understand HTML and CSS. Don't know squat about JS, but flutter apps can work on web with flutter web. I guess I feel insecure because everyone says the best programming foundation is HTML, CSS & JS. But then everyone agrees, once you know one OOP language, picking up another isn't a problem. And I'm not just learning flutter. I'm learning dart, before flutter. [link] [comments]  |
| What language to choose and where to start ? Posted: 27 Jun 2020 01:01 AM PDT Hey guys ,this summer i would like to learn a programming language before i go to college.

| Can someone advice me what should I do to maximize my chance? Posted: 27 Jun 2020 12:18 AM PDT I just run into a comment where OP said he couldn't find a single job and internship after getting masters degree in software engineering. I just find it very alarming because my initial plan was getting a master degree in certain country and get a job there. But I keep running into these kind of comments. Weirdly, I got a job as a Data Scientist for a new startup. Yes, a big luck. I was given a chance to study on my own for the past two months. My workload is very slow. I mainly do database management and research for the company (usually related to marketing, AI, Machine Learning, Data Science). However, I still have a feeling I might need a master to land a better job in the country. But reading comments like this got me thinking that it would be better for me to just focus on my current job and keep learning to code. I have been doing small projects on the side but I'm not a fast learner or anything. I have created github account, put one side project there and link it on my LinkedIn profile. I keep applying for jobs in the country I wish to settle in but no luck so far. So, would master be more ideal for my situation or is it better I keep doing what I'm doing and improving everything? If the later is better idea, how should I succeed so I get the job offer in other country? Also, this is my first IT-related job. [link] [comments]  |
| checking password having letters and numbers python(regex) Posted: 27 Jun 2020 12:16 AM PDT Hi, I'm using regex for checking if the given string contains numbers and letters. I'm using this regex but I know that it is not correct: It shouldn't be sensitive if the string starts with word or digit but it should contains at least one word and one digit. [link] [comments]  |
| RegEx: How to match all characters between two strings Posted: 27 Jun 2020 12:09 AM PDT I want to match only the This has been bugging me for hours. I've probably spent more time on Google in the past few hours than I have this week. Using JavaScript / ES6. [link] [comments]  |
| I NEED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A COURSE IN EDX Posted: 26 Jun 2020 11:59 PM PDT I've just got a discount coupon in Edx and Im not sure if any course is really worth it. Is there any highly recommended course in that platform? [link] [comments]  |
| Manage information in the client (UI) obtained from an api. Posted: 26 Jun 2020 11:55 PM PDT I feel blocked in the way that information and errors should be handled in the UI extracted from a rest api. For example, a response to an endpoint can get one of [200, 201, 400, 401, 403, 404, 429, 500] and among others. Some may have an answer but others cannot, as I can correctly display the information obtained in the UI. This endpoint is responsible for validating a phone number to verify if it has a valid format.
I know it may be a question for broad answers, but I only need a hint, a correct form for a large project, in case I have to wrap fetch in a method and have all the logic in a function or I must call each independent endpoint with an individual fetch . What if the api suddenly returns a status code that has not been handled to show the end user in the UI, in case all possible states must be handled so that the end user can know what is happening, or it is better to have a general mistake for everyone else.

| What is iframe source? How do i open a new tab for it? Posted: 26 Jun 2020 11:53 PM PDT I'm pretty new to macros, have never heard of "iframe". So far i used my macros on tampermonkey. Is ifame another macros site? Or it's something within the code that can be used on any app that reads macros? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Jun 2020 11:34 PM PDT I am trying to make a Twitter bot that checks if there is a keyword and a picture attached to it, then retweets it if those conditions are met. There's some applets on IFTT that let me retweet automatically if the keyword is there but I cannot attach any sort of "and" condition to it. [link] [comments]  |
| Any new good Vue js 2 tutorial site? Posted: 26 Jun 2020 11:30 PM PDT I purchased vue js and firebase tutorial on udemy from Net ninja (Shaun) but it was from 2018 and he uses vue cli 2 and since the current version was vue cli 4 ,my installed files were wayy different than the tutorial. I tried learning the cli first but got so confused i started wondering if the course itself was outdated. So here i am.. asking for help. Any good tutorial site, preferably Reading than watching videos for Updated vue js. [link] [comments]  |
| Learned the basics of python, now what? Posted: 26 Jun 2020 11:23 PM PDT I started to solve problems on project euler but I don't know if it's the right path. Should I just keep solving problems until I'm all done? Also any video suggestions for OOP. I would like to practice more on it but not sure how to use it well in projects or problem solving.
