    "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" online course is free to sign up for the next few days with code JUL2020FREE

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 12:11 PM PDT

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

    You can also click this link or manually enter the code: JUL2020FREE (on Saturday the code changes to JUL2020FREE2)

    https://www.udemy.com/course/automate/?couponCode=JUL2020FREE

    This promo code works until July 4th (I can't extend it past that). Sometimes it takes an hour 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. Meanwhile, the first 15 of the course's 50 videos are free on YouTube.

    You can also purchase the course at a discount using my code JUL2020 (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: (read this before posting 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.

    Best steps to tackle a path to html/javascript mastery?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 08:16 AM PDT

    I'm currently in a digital marketing internship with a marketing agency in NJ. I'm learning a lot from actual professionals. I feel good about this path and I want to learn everything I can in order to maximize my career and basically become a digital nomad.

    I'm fascinated by the technical part of SEO and web development. Currently I have a 2020 web dev zero to mastery course on udemy but I never really bothered to pursue it. I also don't want to waste my time learning coding languages that won't be relevant to me in my career.

    My only real experience is through making my website through wordpress. I have a very basic and minimal understanding of what html is, and a little CSS. I found that making my own website was an extremely rewarding experience and I gathered an unfathomable amount of information that I don't think I would have gotten from a course. I actually don't think I would have gotten this internship if I didn't have that and my bachelor's (accounting, but i hate accounting) under my belt.

    I was thinking of making a reddit bot or a discord bot for fun. But I'm not sure if that has anything to do with html. Reddit seems to be pretty open source and I'm interested in that as well

    Any sense of guidance or sense of direction would be great. I have a lot of drive rn because I'm sick of being a broke millennial in my 20's. Thank you!

    How much do I need to know to get my first job in the industry?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 07:56 PM PDT

    So I have completed a course in software development and I have a bunch of personal projects I have worked on for myself. I feel like I have a good understanding but I am at a point of being unsure what can I do next to help myself get into the industry.

    I have applied for many jobs without any luck, contacted a bunch of companies asking about their internships (with them all saying they only take university students/graduates) and I am getting a little defeated. I am a "mature student" with a family and cannot afford to dedicate the next 3 years to university.

    I expect the answer is to just keep learning and working on my projects so I guess I just want to know if there is anything in particular I should try and focus on to look more appealing to employers?

    If you need to know a bit more about the experience I have, I do have a website with some information about me and my projects - https://willats.tech

    My Python regex ebook with hundreds of examples and exercises is currently free

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 06:42 PM PDT

    Hello!

    I finally published my updated version of Python regular expressions ebook. My initial motivation was to add epub format and separate out third-party regex module content into a separate chapter. An email exchange with a reader, a look at feedback from the past year and my own improvements as a writer resulted in a significant overhaul. It took me about 6 weeks to complete the revision instead of 1-2 weeks that I estimated. Sounds familiar right? I'm definitely pleased with the changes, but along the way I added a long list of TODOs that will probably need months of work. Future me is not going to be pleased.

    To get pdf/epub versions, use any of these links:

    As a bundle (Python/Ruby/JS regex and grep/sed/awk cli tools):

    I made all my books free at the end of March when the pandemic hit my country. The virus doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon, so I'll probably start charging again after I finish updating the Ruby and JS regex books. You can still pay if you wish.

    You can read the entire book from the GitHub repo - https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions. The repo also contains the code snippets used in the book and a handy way to access all the exercises in a single file. You can also find the solutions there.

    I'd highly appreciate your feedback. That's been a major motivating factor to keep writing as well as for improving the content.

    Happy learning :)

    How do I keep myself motivated while learning?

    Recently I have taken an interest in programming. Although I'm only in high school, I want to learn this as it may be needed in my preferred course which is Comp. Engineering. How do I keep myself motivated to continually learn the programming language?

    Which programming languages are necessary in field of AI?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 11:39 PM PDT

    I am currently learning Python and I want to know which other programming languages I should learn and practice for building my own AI ?

    I searched on internet about it and got Python as the answer. But I think it isn't enough.

    I also read -

    "Python is good for building AI because it has a simple structure."

    Is it true? Is learning only Python sufficient?

    Text based programming paths?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 06:28 AM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    I've been using DataCamp for a while and im nearing the end of one of their pathways. I was wondering if there are any websites that offer guided learning paths but the learning is predominately text based rather than video? it's just a personal preference as i find it hard to pay attention to videos but can read and pay attention a lot longer and better

    What's the runtime of this vowels algorithm?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 10:54 PM PDT

    function vowels(str) {

    let vow = ['a','e','i','o','u']; let count = 0; for(let chars of str.toLowerCase()){ if(vow.includes(chars)){ count++; } } return count;

    }

    It goes through the entire string so at the very least it's n. The .includes checks if the current char iterated is in the vowels list so we are doing extra work. My thoughts are it's either n * m because we're iterating between two different lists inside each other or nlogn because logn usually means an a little extra added amount of work.

    I want to develop a pop-up notifications app/soft; what should I learn to build it?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2020 12:11 AM PDT

    Hi great r/learnprogramming people.

    I'm working in VFX for almost half a decade now and there is a project that I have in mind for a while. I'd like to build a soft that would automatically run as soon as your OS (specifically Linux) would boot and send notifications, every time a render on a VFX software just got complete or new informations have been published related to the shot or asset you're working on.

    BUT the thing is I'm pretty much a total newbie when it comes to coding.

    Learning Python is on my bucket list, although I have no idea if that alone could help me create such a project.

    I would extremely thankful if you have any advice about that, where to start, what to learn, etc etc.

    Cheers!

    What’s refactoring?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 07:22 AM PDT

    I hear this term a a lot, is it improving your code but keeping the same functionality it does from the outside? A lot of people keep using this term differently, which is confusing.

    EDIT: I know how many modern IDES have the refactor button, to refactor we do not have to click that button right?

    [Algorithms] How would you solve this path-counting problem?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 11:51 PM PDT

    The problem is here: Grid Paths.

    My initial strategy was to simply do a state-space search by generating all the paths and counting the ones that end up in the target location. That didn't work out since there are on the order of 448 paths to check (unless there is a bug in my code).

    I also notice that there are some relationships between the numbers of the steps taken. If R, L, D, U represents the numbers of right, left, down and up steps, then

    1. R + L + D + U = 48
    2. R = L
    3. R >= 6, L >= 6
    4. D - U = 6
    5. D >= 6

    The next thing to do is to generate path strings based on the above constraints and test them whether they satisfy the given condition, but I suspect that this still would take too long.

    Is there any other way to solve this problem?

    Android - responsive layout, xml, screen sizes.

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 11:37 PM PDT

    Hey there. I am not really sure if I can post this here, but I really want to get answers, so I decided to try.

    I started (with my friend) making an Android app, at least we decided to start. I am not that bad with coding itself, I know plenty of languages and I am good with OOP, as well as not that bad with Java knowledge. But my weakest point is converting a app mockup into real layout in android studio.

    These are my questions and I hope I'll find an answer to that there:

    1. How should I prepare my layout for all (most of) screen sizes? How do I make the stuff responsive in Portrait mode? I know what constrain layout is or at least how it works, but I've read that it's not enough with complex layout designs.

    2. Where should I learn XML? Basically all the syntax to be able to create my own buttons, text fields etc, etc? Also, does css and HTML knowledge helps here?

    3. Is there some important things I should remember about or know about?

    Thanks from the mountain!

    Hello all,

    I really liked the CS50, but during this quarantine, my internet connection is really slow, I can't go along with CS50.

    So I want to learn programming with a book, my future plan is to learn C# and ASP.NET.

    can you please recommend a good book to learn programming? I want to learn the fundamental of programming and/or learn C#.

    question is to print out some Sophie Germain primes.

    here is my code

     int number = 2; boolean isPrime = true; while (number < 10) { int number1 = 2 * number + 1; for (int i = 2; i <= number / 2; i++) { if (number % i == 0) { isPrime = false; } } if (isPrime) { for (int j = 2; j <= number1 / 2; j++) { if (number1 % j == 0) { isPrime = false; } } } if (isPrime) { System.out.println(number); } number++; }

    my output is 2 ,3 .
