| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 06:27 AM PDT I recently posted a thread asking what software developers do all day at work to better understand the contrast between what I currently do as a learner vs actually working as a dev. I got some fantastic answers and am I'm now curious what it's like for someone who's just starting out. As someone who is self learning it feels like stepping through the front door, to be paid to do something I love is still a million miles away from where I currently am - but I will get there! Would love some info about what it's like to do that. Expectations of skills, big vs small companies , mentor-ship, good and bad experiences - Lets go! [link] [comments]  |
| College and work beat the playfulness out of coding. How can I get it back? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 09:33 PM PDT After entering school I landed a job as a tester and that's what I've been doing since. During my years at school and on the job I've learnt about the many things that engineers and architects should and shouldn't do, but I never quite learned how to apply any of this knowledge myself through code. Sure, there were the class projects or Selenium applications, but neither opened my mind to creatively seeking out solutions on my own. Without the handholding I don't trust myself to do something remotely correct and my education only provided enough to remind me of how wrong I can be. How can coding ever be fun again after being so aware of how I'm likely writing garbage? [link] [comments]  |
| How to find open source apps on github with great code to learn from? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 10:00 PM PDT I want to see how an app is built, but not on a tutorial. I want to see the source code of how data is persisted in JPA, or how a good angular test is written in a live app. Are there any apps that expose their code on github? For reference, I am using Java, Spring and Angular. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 06:31 PM PDT I have been trying to learn for the past month. I already knew some basics from before but there was a big 2 year gap where I forgot many things. So about a month ago I decided to learn how to code. I picked up the Automating the boring stuff with python book and finished it after 2-3 weeks. I already knew some things so the 1st half of the book was a breeze. After finishing the book I decided to learn django but very soon I understood that I am not ready yet since I didn't know many of the web-concepts. So I decided to focus a bit on the front end part(html-css). I learned how to use git and github and also learned the basics of how the web works. And for the past 4 days I have been learning html and css. But css and all of the ways you can align things is so confusing. Are you supossed to remember all of those different css commands? Today I was building a web page and I still can't get the text to be centered the way I want. Sometimes i feel like I am learning a lot and other times I feel like I am really stupid and that I should give up. I do not know what this post is really. I just needed to get this out of my chest. I really like programming and I really want to find a job in the programing field by the end of the year. It's just that i constantly forget terminologies and commands and it just makes me question myself and my abilities. [link] [comments]  |

| Need some advice on what to learn Posted: 08 Jul 2020 08:39 PM PDT Hey people I started web development as a complete noob a few months back and with the help of this sub and many other wonderful resources, I have managed to get an internship in this field. I am mostly into backend stuff now, but i started with HTML, CSS and React. Now after getting into backend development, the logistics and design, and basically everything about how the massive data centers and server farms operate has fascinated me. I want to learn more and get into this field, but i dont even know what its called. I guess it involves distributed computing, network architecture and system design. If anyone works in this field, what should i learn so i get a job where i could design and work with such massive distributed systems? [link] [comments]  |
| Do I always need to write my code and program inside the int main(void) function ? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 04:36 PM PDT Hi people, The title says it all. I came from python, which is far more easy than C imo, and I feel kind of lost with this int main void function thing. Also, when to declare function ? Do we have to do it inside the int main(void) function or outside ? I know these questions has been asked a lot of times but I couldn't find an answer that I could understand, so if you could explain it to me like a 8yo kid I'd be damn grateful ! Thanks a lot people.

| Posted: 09 Jul 2020 12:00 AM PDT Hey guys, ive been studying python over the past 3-4 months and ive gotten up to a basic level of understanding. nothing super advanced but pretty satisfied with the progress ive made so far. ive already finished codecademy's 'python 3' course twice already, now im just looking for some advice on what to do next. I know theres many different pathways in the IT world, for one, i can go down the path of learning a new language or i can focus on getting even better at python (codecademy teaches you basic python, whats the next step/pathway if i am seeking more advanced work?) If i just want to focus on python for now, are there any other resources/topics that i should now be focusing on if i want to go beyond a basic level of understanding past what ive already learned from codecademy's 'python 3' course? I'm a pretty big fan of sites like codecademy in terms of teaching style where it teaches you the topic and gives you practice problems at the end of each lesson but codecademy stops after their 'python 3' course and i dont know where to look next if i am looking for more advanced work. can anyone recommend me anything? What worked for you? I hope my question makes sense, big thanks to everyone for any help that i can get. [link] [comments]  |
| Stuck about how to create a Client Server communication model with HTTP calls Posted: 08 Jul 2020 11:59 PM PDT Hey guys, I'm new to the sub as well as network programming in general, and I need to simulate a server and client locally on my machine using HTTP calls to communicate with each other. What I mean by client and server is that this can simply be two different executables running at the same time. Through googling, I was able to find many articles describing how to set up a rest api, but I want to simply run two executables that communicate locally via rest api (http) calls. Maybe I'm not researching correctly, but I can't seem to find a good guide on how to set this up. Any help would be massively appreciated! My end goal is to write a piece of code that receives an HTTP call from the "client", forward to the "server", and the server sends a response back to the "client". The client and server in this case are arbitrarily named, as they are just executables for our purposes. [link] [comments]  |
| Whats the point of Java's Optional? It seems like just an extra step to getting to null Posted: 08 Jul 2020 08:12 PM PDT I understood that when getting entities from a database, they should be wrapped in Optional<Dog>. So in case repo.find(dogId) fails to return anything (a null) then you get an empty optional. Well, whats the difference? A module that requires a Dog object still can't use an empty optional as much as it can't use a null. And you still have to check for that scenario. I can't see the usefulness of Optional as it seems like an extra step to something you already had. [link] [comments]  |

| Stuck on Merge Two Sorted Lists LeetCode Problem (Java) Posted: 08 Jul 2020 10:11 PM PDT Code is here in this link: https://codeshare.io/5MLNRJ I have been trying to solve this problem. It is a simple problem, I am basically building a linked list based on the nodes given. Link: https://leetcode.com/problems/merge-two-sorted-lists/ Though I do not understand why is not my head reference returning the actual head node, which should let me traverse the rest of the list and get the right answer I thought. My logic was to make an empty node and basically by comparing the two nodes given, l1 and l2, till I reach the end of those two lists, I will be basically switching the where my result node references. Once the loop ends, I will then go to the list that has not finished traversing, and then I will basically make my result node reference to whatever node is left to traverse. Initially, before the loops, I made a ListNode head object reference wherever the result node was in the heap, and then I thought to return the head reference at the end. Where am I going wrong in my logic? I believe I need to return the head reference in order to go through the merged list and give the right answer, but do not know what I am going wrong, it could be a simple mistake.

| What is the advantage of a circularly, doubly linked list with a dummy head over one without? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 06:20 PM PDT In a singularly linked list a dummy head cuts down the edge cases to check which reduces code. Is it similar for a circular, doubly linked list? [link] [comments]  |
| Help needed for Google Online Challenge Posted: 09 Jul 2020 12:37 AM PDT Hello everyone, I am a pre final year student in a fairly unknown college in India. I am currently enrolled in Google Cloud Career Readiness track for which I got the opportunity back in sophomore are. Recently I have been invited for Google Online challenge next month from google.

| How to get a remote internship at US / EU? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 06:42 AM PDT Hi everyone. I'm a brazilian developer looking for new oportunitties. Although I am not yet graduated (due to covid-19), I have 2 years of experience with web development working in local companies. I've been looking for remote job vacancies for some time, but because of my experience, I still haven't been successful. So now I'm looking for internships. That way after a brief period I can start as a real developer in that same company. I have 2 main questions:
In advance, thank you all! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jul 2020 12:23 AM PDT Hello, so I am new to coding and starting to learn some of the basics of Javascript. Currently, I am practicing with the mouseover function and the mouseOut function to change the color of the background when you move the mouse over or out of the canvas. I decided to play around with it and wanted to add an ellipse with a different color over the background. I was able to get what I wanted however when I move the mouse over or out of the area, the background color covers over the ellipse and I would like for the ellipse to always be on top of the background so the background changes and doesn't cover the ellipse. I have tried changing the order of the code but nothing has worked. Here is what I have so far. fill(255, 0, 0); ellipse(185, 200, 170, 170); mouseOut = function () { background(0, 255, 0); }; mouseOver = function () { background(36, 14, 199); }; Any advice on what I'm doing wrong. Thanks Edit: Sorry. I know there's a way to get the code to show in the correct format but don't remember how to do it. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 11:57 PM PDT As the title says - I spent last 3 years studying teachyourselfcs.com and now I am complete. Made a couple of projects along the way, mostly around systems programming like implementing shell or malloc in C or hacking xv6 a bit. I also kind of accidentally learned basics of webdev and right now I feel pretty confident with my Flask skills. In the upcoming months(I'm moving to a bigger city with bigger possibilities in around 10 months) I'm about to finally start my github and do some code so I can show the recruiters what I'm capable of; What else should I do so I can not only become a better candidate, but also progress faster once I land a job?

| Job burnout and learning to program from a career in IT. Posted: 08 Jul 2020 12:23 PM PDT Howdy, I'm having extreme burnout after almost 9 years in the IT field (Network Tech/Desktop Support/System Admin) and have been looking for a change. I feel like my soul has been drained. My free time hobbies feel less interesting and weekends don't even feel like a break as all I think about is heading back into work on Monday. I started through multiple free/paid courses for Python and it feels like a breath of fresh air. It made me realize that maybe my burnout is not from years of doing similar jobs, but because I really have no motivation for IT. Thankfully I've been able to remain employed during Covid, but over the last month or two I've had the overwhelming desire to quit and start new. Programming feels like the solution to that. I was watching an old twitch stream the other day where two friends went back and forth solving various coding exercises, increasing the difficulty as they went and it was so interesting to watch them figure out the problems in unique ways. This leads me into my main question. Can code bootcamps be worth it? I've seen older threads here where they were hated on by almost everyone, but the response lately seems to be more positive. I was in the military for 7 years and have a full GI bill to use. I know something like a CS degree would benefit me in the job search, but I have no desire to attend school for 4 years. My current thoughts right now are to quit my job, move to a new part of the country (high cost of living where I am), and attend a bootcamp while living off of my GI Bill. This would involve basically full time for the school and for any side projects I want to work on. I understand this won't instantly get me a job, but hopefully it would give me the time and knowledge to work on projects that potentially would. I'm also looking at the CS50 Harvard online courses as an intro. Can this be a good idea if the time and effort is put in? Long time coders, others who have had a career change into programming, fellow vets and basically anyone who attends this sub, advice would be much appreciated. tl;dr - I hate my job and it's beginning to make me hate my life. Can programming be my way out? [link] [comments]  |

| which of theodinproject's track would get me a job faster ? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 07:24 PM PDT i joined theodinproject last year but never took it seriously because i also go to college (i was doing EE), after a year, i quitted EE because i can't afford it anymore, and i am thinking about doing top again. when i signed up, it immediately assigned me to ruby on rails track, they said that if i dont know where to start, i should go for this path, but there is hardly any jobs that requires ruby on rails in my country, so should i go for fullstack javascript instead ?

| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 05:12 PM PDT Ok so way back in about 2013 I tried learning java and that didn't go well. Over the years I've written some scripts in python with a lot of help from the internet. I'm a beginner and I was wondering which language I should learn first. Python or Swift? I know that swift is mainly geared towards iOS development but it's open source and cross platform so I don't know how much potential it has away from iOS. I've been told they are both pretty easy to learn and similar in some aspects. Which one should I learn first to get started in programming? [link] [comments]  |
