| I'm in a coding bootcamp and I feel like a fraud. Posted: 25 Aug 2020 11:21 AM PDT I just started a program at a coding bootcamp. Right now we are in the bootcamp prep phase, there's about 40 of us and according to the program manager about 30 are going to be chosen to advance into the next phase. At that point your spot is permanent. For context I graduated high school over 4 years ago and haven't done much in that time except dabble in programming here and there, as in I never got a job or started college or anything. I somehow managed to get into Fullstack academy for free through a pretty cool fellowship in the city and I've been in the class for about a week now, and while I eventually understand most of the material with enough practice, it's disheartening it takes me at least a couple of hours of practice to get things because I feel like everyone else just gets things as soon as its taught. I know this isn't true because quite a few students have admitted once they start working on problems, its like all of the lecture material has disappeared from their mind, but it seems like with other students this isn't the case. We do pair programming every night and my partner last night basically flew through the first question without having to tweak the code or anything(on the third problem however she did get stuck for a while and we had to move on). I don't want to look dumb and hold my partner back during pair programming, so after I've been struggling on a problem for a while i eventually just look up the solution which is practically shooting myself in the foot as I won't learn that way. I'm genuinely considering just dropping out of the program at this point and forgetting I ever wanted to be a software engineer. Edit: I didn't think this would get so many responses and direct messages. You could imagine my surprise after finishing tonight's class on scope and coming here to see if anyone replied. Every single one of you who took the time to respond mean a lot to me and I'm definitely gonna look through these individually. Just skimming it has already encouraged me there's nothing unusual about my struggle. I actually got the hang of tonight's topic pretty smoothly too and it was actually me solving the problems rather quickly this time. But as most of the comments say, I shouldn't compare whether I'm better or worse than others. We're all going towards the same thing anyways. [link] [comments]  |
| Is it weird that I love programming books? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 08:41 AM PDT Across the internet I see people talking about reading programming books like its a slog or whatever, and I just don't get it. Right now I'm going through C# 7.0: With .NET and .NET Core and it's brilliant. It's an absolute behemoth of a book at 1300 pages long but it seems worth it considers it covers:
and pretty much everything reasonable in between. There's just something that I love so much about the amount of knowledge I feel like I'm gaining, and the knowledge that I am gaining. It just feels like such concrete progress as opposed to just making stuff until I magically understand things by reading enough Stack Overflow and Microsoft documentation. I actually get kind of giddy thinking about starting to learn C++ and reading like 900+ pages of C++ books. TLDR: I'm a huge fucking nerd who gets excited about reading about CIL and stuff.

| I'm having trouble finishing projects. Posted: 25 Aug 2020 08:56 AM PDT I keep working on coding things that are either too ambitious or too basic. I get myself excited, read some articles about a new framework, and I start. And then I stop. I just get frustrated when little things take 10x longer than I expected and it ends up not being as fun as I would like. Does anyone else have this? Any suggestions? [link] [comments]  |
| Beginner programmer and I think i'm a dumb ass compared to my peers Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:43 PM PDT In short I don't understand whats going on in some of my labs. how do you swap integers? Like swapping the values of two int parameters passed in by reference and the return type must be void. How do you determine the smaller/larger of two integer values passed in as parameters 1 and 2 and store the result into a parameter 3? I just need to see an example and maybe an explanation.

| Building Moon Mist Hollow in Unity Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:34 PM PDT This is a small series of Unity Tutorials focused around building a 2D isometric tilemap and filling the world with characters that can be assigned different behaviors. I am the creator of the videos along with a good friend of mine. I would be happy to answer any questions, and I would really like any feedback or helpful criticism! We will be adding much more content to this series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJ9mRLCsyseu2XxVKbrOxr9yCnAoy56Uu The game we're building, along with its codebase, is available for free and under the MIT open source license. We HIGHLY encourage others to take the project in their own direction, and we'd love to hear about your work. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 11:05 PM PDT Hey everyone, I have been thinking about SaaS products, and when ones integrate with your data storage solutions (mysql, postgres etc) do they replicate that data or just continuously reach into your database when accessing it? Can someone who has written something like this provide some insight? [link] [comments]  |
| Hoping to be pointed in the right direction Posted: 25 Aug 2020 10:59 PM PDT Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read my post. I'm wanting to learn how to make digital pets. Like the keychain games/pets from the 90's and 00's. Google isn't very helpful in pointing me towards any kind of resource about it. Can someone show me where to start? [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for mentor for coding. Posted: 25 Aug 2020 10:34 PM PDT Hi I am a Computer Science Undergrad who got into coding a little too late. I have started taking my preparation seriously now because I'll be graduating next year. I am able to come up with brute force algorithms for problem statements most of the time. I am learning data structures and algorithms from scratch again to help me find more efficient algorithms. I am looking for someone who'll help me construct algorithms and help me comprehend the approach behind it. Since my primary language is python, I'd prefer someone with experience in python. Thank you for your time. [link] [comments]  |

| How do you display a set of listings in your front end? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 10:11 PM PDT I'm just a little confused of how it's done. I see that every site that has a long list of posts no matter what content it is, e.g. facebook posts, job posts etc... but I can see the divs there are present when I hit f12. But how do the div/li elements get added. I've been building a simple task board, which creates a div element when you hit a button to add task. Then I usually do something like ul.appendChild(nextListItem) on the click listener. But it doesn't actually write in the html. I'm just wondering, how are posts/listings usually done, and continuously added onto the content element. And lastly, would I store the information for a task locally, instead of a database? Since it's small and similar to a to do list. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 07:26 PM PDT I'm having a hard time figuring out what a web API means, I've built api's sure, even fetched api to use their code and data. But what does a web API mean? [link] [comments]  |
| Where do you go to learn about or keep up to date with new/hot frameworks, languages, libraries? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:07 PM PDT Hi I recently joined and a new team and unfortunately I'm on an old ASP.Net monolith app. I really want to keep up to date. I would like to spend maybe a couple hours of week just reading and trying out new libraries/frameworks/langs. I'm curious how you guys keep up to date? [link] [comments]  |
| Is it worth it to create your own programming language? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 08:45 PM PDT I've been thinking of what project to take on. For a bit of background, I've been programming for more than a decade. So far I've mostly dabbled in PHP, JS, Java, C#, etc, so I don't yet know low-level programming that much. I realized that this lack of knowledge is a bit hindering to me, since I can't take on big projects that require understanding of the operating system and low-level languages. So, I've been thinking, what project can I take on to help me deepen my understanding, and at the same time learn low-level programming language like Rust or C++? I'm leaning towards making my own low-level programming language, and perhaps writing a compiler in Rust. I know it'd be a huge undertaking, but what if doing this project will yield a lot of new knowledge and open avenues for taking on even more important projects? Ideally, I'd like my programing language to be typed, have concurrency mechanisms, have macros and meta-programming options, debugging tools. Obviously, I would start really small, but would eventually have features that good modern programming languages have. There is also a chance that I'll be overwhelmed with all the features that I want the language to have. But, do you think any of this would be worth it? If so, any tips? [link] [comments]  |
| I created a login UI with HTML and CSS, what is the best way to make them functional? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 04:42 PM PDT Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to read this in advance. Anyways I've been working on a small project and am wondering what my best course of action is going to be next. I have been searching and trying to implement some but it seems like theres a million ways to do this. I have a basic login and registration form right now and now I want to make them functional. I understand that I will need some sort of database to store and a server. I tried using node.js (express and bcrypt) but he never actually showed how to implement them into the website, just how to hash the users password. Than I tried a guide using express and nodemon but at a certain part he used ejs files when my website pages are already built in HTML. Sorry if these are dumb questions I'm just not sure what the correct way to do this is going to be. [link] [comments]  |
| Pluralsight Premium membership and interactive courses - worth it? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 11:57 PM PDT I've noticed that Pluralsight is on sale (33% off), and thought I'd sign up for personal membership as I found the website to be pretty helpful when I got it through work last time. I also had some courses I wanted to do there. But it looks like you can't access courses with interactive exercises if you just sign up for personal. You can get access to interactive courses if you fork out extra USD 100 and get premium membership. Is it worth paying extra $100 just for interactive courses? I'm after learning .NET Core, Test Automation (Selenium), C# and some networking stuff. [link] [comments]  |
| Are there any bootcamps worth attending? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 08:02 PM PDT I always hear about how bootcamps aren't really worth going to for a variety of reasons. I've wanted to learn code since I was little but never did anything about it. Now at 23 I've been learning C# for a little while and I really enjoy it. I know it'll take a while, but I want to keep learning more and get better until I can hopefully land a job. I've also heard a lot that a degree or certificate isn't a necessity, but I'm sure it'll still help with interviews or at the very least let me learn more of what I need to know so I can start writing more complex programs. My question is, knowing that there's a lot of bootcamps that aren't worth it, are there any that are? Any other information regarding this would be awesome too [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 01:58 PM PDT I'm interested in becoming a MEAN stack developer. I have a solid grasp of HTML, JS (including jquery, nodejs express, and i'm learning angular rn), as well as basic CSS and Python. Nodejs org offers certificates but you need to pay. But that thing must look damn good on a resume. As well as W3schools. right now i'm a high school student going into grade 11 just in case that helps. [link] [comments]  |
| Reddit vs StackOverflow in terms of asking questions? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 10:12 AM PDT I know this isn't r/NoStupidQuestions, but which do you generally prefer? Are people supportive and helpful in both sides? [link] [comments]  |
| SQL query to get "about to expire" rows Posted: 25 Aug 2020 11:36 PM PDT Hi, I have a python bot script is running every X minutes (like 60 minutes in production probably) and it gets some accesstokens from MySQL database. Currently I get them with the query below: Obviously the accesstokens have already expired with this query. `expireDate` is datetime. Can I somehow query "about to exipire", like it would select the rows which `expireDate` value is for example 30 minutes from now? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 05:32 PM PDT Hello, yesterday in class we were talking about a boolean fuction that would return true if a list is empty and false otherwise. In this case, we know that a list is empty if lenght = 0. The professor asked us how we could do this and I said, you could do: if ( lenght == 0 ) return true return false He said that that was a nooby way of doing it. And if you do that during a coding interview, they'll probably reject you. That the best way to do it is to do: return lenght == 0 I knew you could do that, but the only reason why I like to do it the former way is to improve readability. What do you guys think? Is it okay to do it my way, or should I start changing my programming style and do the one liners from now on? [link] [comments]  |
| How does one learn to optimize? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 07:39 PM PDT I recently had a technical interview and one of my proposed solutions involved a double for loop. The interviewer asked me what the complexity was and I said N2 then he said try to find a solution with N complexity, I couldn't and just went with my original solution(at this point I'm sure you can tell I didn't get the job). What I want to know is how does one learn to optimize. Like, If I'm doing a leetcode problem that involves nested for loops what do I replace those loops with and how will I know when to do that?

| How do you do mass update(links, navs, footers, etc.) on a basic update? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 11:11 PM PDT I am a beginner, and I'm doing my first website (just bootstrap). Right now I have the main index page and I created a separate article page. My question is if I want to change a link in the navigation bar, or one the categories menu, or even just add something that will be uniform across all pages on the site. How do I do that without going to each individual page and manually changing it. My thought was this was a concept I just haven't got to you yet. I've seen a tutorial on node.js where a guy had what was like a template page that certain parts of that page would show up on all the rest of the pages. So it seemed like he only had to edit one page for major changes to site. How does this work? I'm also willing to watch a tutorial, video, blog, etc if it is too much to type. I'm having a hard time getting a basic understanding of the natural progression of building a website other then HTML > CSS > JavaScript> ???? Cliffs

| iPhone showing different browser results than Android and PC. (CSS) Posted: 25 Aug 2020 05:13 PM PDT Unusual problem, after finally completing an image overlay with button activation, looking great on website, checked it all using the phone resize tool feature on inspect element. Testing it on an actual android phone, works great. However checked it on an iPhone X. The overlay seems to be going above the image. Picture provided below. I cant replicate the issue on the browser using the phone resize tool, no matter how small the screen is. [link] [comments]  |
| Starting The Odin Project and unsure which machine to download a Linux Virtual Machine to. Posted: 25 Aug 2020 11:07 PM PDT Hello! Absolutely brand new to programming, and jumping right in with The Odin Project. I've gotten to the point where I need to start using Linux, which I am totally okay with. I prefer to go the Virtual Machine route, but am having doubts on which of my set ups to use. I hope it's alright to ask here, the TOP forums/discord are VERY overwhelming! But I may ask there as well :) I have a desktop PC that I built in 2012 (updated the GPU in 2015, as well as the RAM) that I haven't turned on once since moving two years ago. It's pretty robust, but a little old. Normal HDD. I also have a laptop I bought a year ago that has an SSD that I have used exclusively for everything I do -- writing, social media, online classes, zoom, etc. This laptop replaced an older laptop with a normal HDD I still have but not longer use. Would it be better to install a VM on the laptop that has a much faster hard drive? Or would a more robust desktop handle it better? Thank you very much for your help and advice! [link] [comments]  |
