    Been accepted onto a software development apprenticeship today!

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 11:59 AM PDT

    I'm just so unbelievably chuffed with myself. I grew up in the weird years where IT in school was learning how to use PowerPoint and no one spoke about the dark arts behind it!

    I'm a 26 yr old female, and just feel like this could be the start of a whole new career direction for me.

    I would expect I'll start posting here a lot soon!

    How do you learn to “think logically” when it comes to solving code problems?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 06:59 PM PDT

    I am taking my first programming course this semester. I find that I understand the material when I read over the book, but when it comes time for homework I completely blank out. Most questions are based around making small programs like calculating the world population in x years. How can I do better? Me not being able to do these simple programs makes me think if I'm even capable of following this career path.

    C: too many braces around scalar initializer

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 09:54 PM PDT

    Using macOS 10.15.6

    I have this trivial code:

    int (*daytab)[13] = { {0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}, {0, 31, 29, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31} }; int main(void) { return 0; } 

    I compile and get this warning:

    clang -std=c11 -Wall -Wextra 5-9.c -o 5-9 5-9.c:2:5: warning: too many braces around scalar initializer [-Wmany-braces-around-scalar-init] {0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}, ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

    Not sure what I'm missing?

    I know how to code (decently well I think) but freeze up during coding assessments

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 10:34 PM PDT

    I'm getting ready for software recruiting season and don't feel super prepared for the technical interview aspect. Although I've only had two coding assessments in my life so far, I felt like I could've eventually figured out the problems on each but needed more time. On the most recent one, on the first problem I had about 10/14 tests that ran correctly (I have a feeling I might have missed edge cases, I'm not sure), and about 3/9 tests that ran correctly on the second problem and I ran out of time.

    I've done a decent amount of coding practice problems on HackerRank (Python) but I haven't really found them super helpful because they don't really combine multiple theories, and separate them based on topic (such as arrays, lists, etc.) not to mention that they're also pretty boring to me but I have a feeling that's unavoidable. What's a good way I can speed up while getting practice I feel can actually help me?

    Book Recommendations

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 06:17 PM PDT

    I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks and I would like to find a good book to read. I have 'Automate The Boring Stuff With Python' that I've started but it's more of a tutorial style book. I'd like to find something to help me learn how to problem solve or how to have a more structured approach when programming.

    My goal is to not be on my phone at all and just read and relax for a week. No laptops either so tutorials are out. Can someone recommend a few different books to consider?

    Structured path in learning C#?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 08:42 PM PDT

    Hey guys, trying to develop a solid foundation for C# and hopefully tackle ASP.NET CORE once I feel im pretty comfortable with the language first.

    I was thinking of signing up for Team TreeHouse and doing their C# path but I wanted to hear what you guys thought of as well. I've done Mosh's C# course, it was okay. I've done DotNet's Scott's H. C# 101 but I wanna go more advance. I feel like I need to practice the more advance concepts but I am having trouble basically coming up with a path for myself which is why I am looking at Treehouse.
    I understand that building projects are also a great way to solidify what you already are learning but I am also having trouble trying to build project wise.
    If you guys have any advice let me know!

    Best way to learn?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 08:21 PM PDT

    I am currently a freshman in high school, 14 years old, and I am really interested in software development and how it can be applied to robotics. I planned that with a friend of mine, we would practice both programming and robotics over the next few years. We know that to be successful if we plan for this to be our careers, we should learn many languages. We planned to learn Python first, and we are currently doing so. C++ seems to be our second language of choice because it seems really powerful.

    I know a fair amount of java, the way I learned it was by watching tutorial videos from TheNewBoston, and after each video, stopping and practicing for a while. This went on for a few months. After a while I went off on my own and learned more through trial, error, and research. This seems to be a good way of learning to program and we plan to repeat it for python and c++.

    My questions are, what are some tips we should know of to make sure we can practice programming & robotics in the most efficient and reliable way possible? We know of currently CircuitPython and are looking into it.

    If you have any tips, please let me know. Thank you.

    Projects to show for internships :

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 10:16 PM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I'm self learning how to code and i would like to know what kind of projects would allow me to get en internship (I live in France, Nantes) at an IT company ? I'm not aiming for the FAANG yet.

    I feel more attracted to back end development (web or software). I 'm mainly learning Java. I did a little front end project (a virtual piano).

    Didn't take the chance, yet, to build a database but that's my next project.

    I'm now doing this project : https://hyperskill.org/projects/46?track=1

    Thanks for the replies !

    I don’t have the vocabulary to look for what I need

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 11:46 AM PDT

    I feel a bit frustrated because I can't articulate what my questions are in order to find them myself in a google search. I'm not sure what things are called and while, with a person, I'm able to demonstrate or explain what I mean, I want to be more self sufficient and be able to find the answers on my own. Does anyone have any tips as to how to get started? Thanks

    Looking to become a Software Engineer in 2021

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 10:33 AM PDT

    Hey Everyone. I'm currently working as a tech support engineer but I'm looking to move into Software Development. I have dabbled into coding a bit to try some different programming languages like JS, Python, Java but I have now decided to focus fully on programming to get a job hopefully next year. I'm just confused on which route to go Full Stack JS or Python etc.

    Any current Software Engineers out there that can give me some advice on where to start?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 05:50 PM PDT

    I already have a decent knowledge in pythons pygame, and JavaScript, but I don't know html or css, which one is better to use so, I can practice making small games, I am planning to move on the Java once I master how to make games in either python or javascript

    Learning without a computer in front of me?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 11:37 PM PDT

    I am self teaching on my free time for the next year, which is when I intend to leave my current career. For my job, I drive a lot and tend to listen to podcasts.

    Is there any resources (audiobooks, etc) that could prove beneficial to replace useless podcasts? And is it even worth it? I was thinking even just audiobooks that go over theory.

    Any info on this is really appreciative.

    I am looking for advice regarding a new career!

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 11:19 PM PDT

    Hello Reddit,

    TLDR: I need some help figuring out my life and I need some help trying to find courses on a lot of technology/business topics. Sorry there is such a long explanation.

    I am posting here because I'm looking for some life advice. I am a recent college graduate with a Music performance degree but I am leaning towards not pursuing music as a career now. I will probably still have doubts about this for as long as I live but I do plan to play music on the side for fun. I am trying to find a new career path and I need some advice on how to move forward.

    About me: I am a 22 year old male that has a moderate amount of work experience: from being concession stand manager to being the president of a robotics team in high school. I am a hard worker who isn't afraid to do things that are difficult and will always try to learn everything I can about whatever subject I am studying. My passions include sabermetrics, classical music, Nintendo games, baseball, and tech. I have a decent understanding of business concepts, I am very logical (you could say I am "Left brained"), I have built my own computer, and I have basic Java knowledge from high school. I would like to be the head of a company someday and

    What I am asking for:

    I am looking to figure out how to get started in a multitude of areas, either for a career or to help start a business. I am mostly looking for cheap, online solutions and books but I do understand that some solutions could be higher education (i.e. an MBA). I don't want the suggestions to be a "get rich quick" scheme or something similar to that. There are also a lot of course websites, like MIT Courseware or Udemy, that I am trying to sort through. I would also like to know how much work it would take to become "proficient" in each area.

    Areas I am looking into:

    Website Design: I would mostly want to do this for an e-commerce business but some back end ideas could be helpful

    Data Analysis: I know that this is a very high earning career but I don't know what is required to get to that level. Even having a basic understanding would be nice to have.

    Cryptocurrency and blockchain: I have a lot of experience in trading cryptocurrency and how it works but none in the actual back end process to it, the area I am looking to work in.

    Infographics: What programs do you recommend to learn this and maybe any other info people have about this?

    Business and Corporate Finance/Accounting: I want to be able to start my own company some day so having this knowledge would be extremely helpful for a small business.

    Fin tech: yeah, I know this is a long shot and what Ivy/West Coast Ivy kids do but a basic understanding of the subject would be nice.

    App Development: I would be looking for a course that encompasses both iPhones and Android

    Game development: I would be looking for a course that encompasses how to use a game engine, such as Unity or Unreal Engine, or one that allows you to make 16 bit indie games, like Undertale.

    Thank you for the advice, if you could message me or put in the comments any suggestions that would be really helpful.

    I get bored of online courses, what should I do?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 11:18 PM PDT

    I know the basics of programming and I want to move to the next level, I'm aspiring to be a cloud associate/developer but watching videos is boring as hell, I prefer to learn by doing and 'getting my hands dirty' but I cannot afford platforms that have virtual labs, what should I do?

    How can I find coders who are still learning but want to collaborate together on projects for learning and showcase purposes?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 11:54 AM PDT

    Creating a community of learners is suggested as a better way to study than alone and each coder could also contribute in his field of expertise. The problem is how to find other coders based on what they've learned, level, and what they want to work on.

    Monthly cost shared between 3, split up based on how many miles they commute

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 09:46 PM PDT

    I'm new to Java, and I've been stuck on this question for a while.

    John, Adam, and Michael are sharing a car that cost $250 each month, they are going to split the cost proportionally based on how many miles it takes them to commute to school.

    The program is set up where you enter how many miles Adam commutes, then John, then Michael and it is suppose to give you a number of how much they each owe based off those miles.

    Ex: Adam commutes 9 miles John commutes 12 miles Michael commutes 15 miles

    ———————

    Adam owes: $62.5 John owes: $83.33 Michael owes: $104.16

    I have it set up where you can input miles and everything else and it prints out in the correct format but when I put in the miles, it's doing like adamMiles/250, and let's say it's 12 = $20.83

    johnMiles/250, lets say 14 = $17.85 michaelMiles/250, lets say 10= $25

    Now add those up and you get $63.68

    I'm so confused, and I'm sure I'm overthinking this hard, on how I can proportionally set it up to add up to $250

    Program says "Type mismatch: cannot convert from void to float"

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 09:16 PM PDT

    I'm new to javascript and I am doing a project for school. I do not know why this line is not working because by itself as one line it does, but when I add extra lines that do the same thing, they all work except the first line.

    I get this error at the line that says: System.out.println("After the first month, the account value is " + firstMonth);

    Code:

    package folder1;

    // Import the scanner import java.util.Scanner; 

    public class Main {

    public static void main(String\[\] args) { // Created new scanner Scanner input = new Scanner([System.in](https://System.in)); // Variables stated and defined float monthlySaving; float annualIR; float monthNumber; float monthlyIR; float firstMonth; float secondMonth; float thirdMonth; float fourthMonth; float fifthMonth; float sixthMonth; // User enters monthly savings amount System.out.print("Enter monthly saving amount: "); monthlySaving = input.nextFloat(); System.out.print("Enter the annual interest rate: "); annualIR = input.nextFloat(); System.out.print("Enter number of months: "); monthNumber = input.nextFloat(); // Computation monthlyIR = (annualIR/100)/12; firstMonth = monthlySaving \* (1 + monthlyIR); secondMonth = (monthlySaving + firstMonth) \* (1 + monthlyIR); thirdMonth = fourthMonth = fifthMonth = sixthMonth = // Display account value System.out.println("After the first month, the account value is " + firstMonth); System.out.println("After the second month, the account value is " + secondMonth); System.out.println("After the third month, the account value is "); input.close(); }

    P2P Connection

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 09:06 PM PDT

    Is it possible to create a chat app without a server that stores the information and the users don't have to port forward? I'm not sure if this is part of what P2P means. What I had in mind was a connection where you only needed to know the IP address and port and you would connect directly to the other person and the only place the information gets stored is in each other's phones. I know this is possible with port forwarding but that's doing too much to do for a whisper in someone's ear.

    Using an Older C++ textbook?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 02:58 PM PDT

    Hello,

    Learning C++ to possibly advance to a programming role at my current company.

    One of the programmers there was kind enough to lend me his old textbook.

    I'm finding the method of working through a book to be very effective for me learning the language and concepts.

    HOWEVER. The book is old. It's from 2003. Obviously the IDEAS behind loops and OOP etc will be the same. But am I setting myself up for failure by using an old version of the book when C++ has been updated several times since the book came out?

    The code I am running from provided examples and from "solve it yourself" problems is working just fine, so far.

    Thank you for your input.

    Hire to build my EJS file

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 08:51 PM PDT

    So I have made a quick template with javascript using ejs, i also finished building the backend. I don't want to spend too much time to build the frontend using html and css, cause i don't master it that much. Is it fine if i hire someone to build the frontend and give him/her the ejs file with javascript(with the UI design i made), and it will be cheaper cause he's only building html and css?
