    Books related to programming that you can read in bed?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 02:04 PM PDT

    Most of the programming books I have read have exercises that ask you to go to the console and try out some concepts for yourself. I like to read for an hour before bed but don't want to be messing around on my laptop before I go to sleep.

    Any suggestions?

    I have 3 files: a .cpp a .lib and .h files how do i connect them all together in a project in visual studio to build a DLL?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 10:13 AM PDT

    A friend of mine sent me a project. 3 files, a .cpp, a .lib and a .h.

    I feel embarassed and dont want to waste his time asking him how do i even put these 3 together.

    I tried putting them in the same folder. Add existing items, add the .h to the header file. And other things.

    I also tried to use another project i have that compiles a dll, and just replace the code with the new ones. It didnt work.

    Cant believe im having so much trouble with this simple thing. I cant understand how do i make this thing work properly. And im afraid im doing something wrong.

    I googled it. And the examples i got are not very clear, and some users suggest one thing and the others suggest another.

    So, if you had 3 files. A cpp, an .h file, and a .lib. How would you put them together to compile them into a DLL?

    Please help.

    I'm starting to realize I want a change in career path, and want to get into cyber security and I'm not sure where to start?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 08:43 PM PDT

    In a few months I'll be starting my senior year at college for my criminal justice degree which I intend to finish since I've gotten this far, but I realized as far as my future career goes, I don't have much options that is unless I want to spend several more years in grad school. So, I'm considering trying to get into cyber security instead, because it seems pretty interesting to me and it seems like it would put me on a very stable career path. Although I don't know much so perhaps I'm misguided here. Regardless, even if I want to learn, I have no idea where to start, I don't know the basics of coding, and my degree is far from computer science. So I'd like some help in finding resources where I can learn the basic knowledge I need to even get started in this field, and was hoping someone could lead me in the right way.

    How many times you had a cool idea for a project, but it didn't go through cause you couldn't find the data or API for it?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 04:49 AM PDT

    You know this feeling. You have this great idea, proceed to research where you would get the data from (there HAS to be an API for THAT) and nothing. Maybe you tried emailing the CEO or sales of a company you KNOW has the data and would benefit from your app and... crickets.

    Has it happened to you? Is it even as common as I think it is?

    I'm getting better!

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 12:40 PM PDT

    I've been taking a free online intro to CS course. I've been trying to teach myself (unsuccessfully) for a while, so thought I'd try a more structured approach. I'm only just barely almost halfway through the course, but I've completed all of the assignments without skipping the hard parts and coming back to them. When I first started with the first couple of assignments, I was having to ask for help *constantly*, and over a lot of little things.

    Now I'm starting to ask for help less and less, and I can read others' code on the same problems and pick out where they're making mistakes, or making things too complex. This latest assignment was a basic encryption in C, and I only had to ask for help a couple of times. I struggled a lot with a big part of the assignment, and the imposter syndrome started settling in, but once I tried to get over that and actually started trying different things, I solved the issue very simply, and got a full grade on the assignment.

    I'm still a little in shock, and I'm sure that my code could have looked a lot neater, but I did it, and who knows, maybe I can actually get the hang of programming, and actually do this one day.

    I have a lot of struggles with mental illness, and it has a massive impact on my memory among other things, which really affected my confidence. But I heard somewhere that learning to program was less about memorizing, and more about understanding how and why a piece of code works, and I'm finding this to be true.

    Little confidence boosts and seeing little (or big) signs of progress like this are getting to be extremely encouraging.

    Thanks if you read the whole thing! I guess I just wanted to share a bit of my progress with others that might understand :)

    New programmer, need some help and advice :)

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 08:38 AM PDT

    Hey everyone! I am still in high school but I want to learn how to code.... I have a project in mind which is to make some what of a web application/app (I know it is complicated, which is why I wanna start working on it early ;) however I am not sure which programming language to use.

    I have recently started learning python. Would you say that it is a good beginner´s language to learn? Or would you recommend another one?

    Thank you very much for the help in advance! :)

    Should I continue with Cole Steele's Web Developer Bootcamp?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 10:04 PM PDT

    The course is 5 years old now, and as much as I do like the structure, I feel as if I'd be doing a lot of patchwork in filling in the knowledge gaps. Should I just find a more modern version of this?

    Accidental affirmations

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 10:45 PM PDT

    I accidentally came up with a few statements that I am going to keep close to me while I work on my journey into a career in software development. I've never been big on affirmations, but these distilled some ideas for me:

    • I am learning to ask questions that get to the root of a problem and create solutions

      • It doesn't matter what motivates you, as long as you are motivated
      • I have to <em>learn</em> to get better everyday
      • Addressing my flaws is a strength, not a weakness

    Hopefully one of these strikes a chord with you!

    Any recommendations for my problems

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 10:14 PM PDT

    Hi

    I am new to programming. Specifically, I just started learning c# using Sololearn so I could automate some stuff. I thought the Sololearn c# tutorial was adequate but when I started a project I found a lot of gaps in my understanding. I also had to work using an API (still not sure what they are). I guess I can I am feeling the frustrations of programming (most likely nothing compared to what you professionals go through). Anyway, I would pretty much appreciate it if you (Yes you Mr/Ms reader) you can help me out with the following: 1. How to read API reference? 2. How to study a programming language? Ive read its best to learn through building a project. Is there anything else. 3. How to deal with frustrations when coding?

    [Ruby] Iterating over an array with hash values

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 09:14 PM PDT

    Hi there,

    I failed this interview question today and I was wondering if anyone could help me with a solution or guide me. Unfortunately, I froze like a deer in headlights and and feeling stumped still.

    logs = [{action: A, userId: 1}, {action: A, userId: 1}, {action: B, userId: 2}, {action: C, userId: 2}, {action: A, userId: 3}, {action: A, userId: 3}, {action: A, userId: 2}, {action: B, userId: 2}, {action: C, userId: 2}, {action: A, userId: 1} ] 

    I was asked to created a function that outputs all the users who experienced the error scenario IE actions A, B, C in chronological order. So an answer to the output to this method would be userId: 2.

    Here's a screenshot of the question but it is more or less the same of what I typed up. Question

    Sharing data that changes periodically to other micro-services

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 12:49 AM PDT

    I'm working on a small, practise project that is looking into best practices with micro-services. I'm currently looking for information on the best way to share data from micro-service A to micro-service B.

    Micro-service A makes a data request to an external source every 24 hours, and then needs to share this result to micro-service B and potentially others. In practice, I know a basic database and a RESTful API would do fine here, but I'm wondering if there are other ways it can be done? For example if there were many consuming micro-services, what route would you go down?

    Since this project is more about conceptual solutions I'd be interested to hear your thoughts!

    Language for simple system programs

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 08:32 AM PDT

    What language or setup do you use for one off simple scripts on your system? Perhaps something that would be a little more involved than executing a bash command, such as additionally formatting a JSON request from stdout from another command.

    I often want to make quick helpers that run in a cron but I don't feel like bash if a very good language for anything other than simple call outs to the shell, so today I used node and executed other commands with a syncExec and was wondering if this is a better approach or if you guys have tips?

    Worth getting Azure or AWS certifications? If so, which one?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 12:41 AM PDT

    I'm a UK based .Net framework developer. I've work in the industry for around 5 years and I currently work for a FTSE based company. In my spare time, I've started playing around and learning python/web development because I enjoy the consumer industry more than the enterprise space. It may mean that I just work on solo project in this tech as most of the jobs around my area are .Net/enterprise based and I'm not looking to relocate.

    Anyway, as part of learning more about web apps, I want to explore more about cloud computing and Azure/AWS' offerings and I'm considering their certifications. I could learn more about them and hopefully get a pay rise as well, hopefully?

    If so, I'm undecided whether to learn more about Azure (enterprise based, more likely used by hiring firms in my area) or AWS (generally more popular, potentially used by remote employers).

    Are certifications viewed more 'important' within the .Net/enterprise industry or is that a poor generalisation/misconception?

    Any thoughts/suggestions?

    What to do if I am completely stuck doing a project?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 08:59 AM PDT

    I got many advise here not to fall for the "watching tutorials" trap. That I will not learn how to code by watching other coding.

    So I looked up on YouTube videos on a very simple JavaScript game, a memory game. The person doing the video said it is very easy and suitable for beginners, so I stopped watching how it's done and tried to do it myself. Two days past and I'm still stuck and utterly lost. What should I do at this point?

    Does it really take 10 years?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 11:45 PM PDT

    I thought on a whim I might as well use this time to learn python because it'd be a totally new skill, and could be a good Segway into other programming languages

    That is until I read the faq that said it takes a decade of intensive learning to not suck ass. I'm probably not going to enter any career path that requires programming and I'm not willing to give a decade of my life to learn a skill I could live without

    So does it really take 10 years or could I be reasonably competent and self sufficient in a shorter time?

    How do I think more like a programmer?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 07:27 PM PDT

    I have learned html, css, javascript, and am learning python. I have done a couple of projects but I don't feel as if I am "thinking" like a programmer or if I understand the bigger picture.

    I understand that programming is essentially creating instructions and commands for a computer or device to run. But when I try and think of an app on my own, or an idea to pursue on my own I can't seem to generate any ideas.

    Any ideas or any material you would recommend I read to put myself in the headspace of a mobile app developer/programmer?
