    Please tell me I'm not the only one here who reads the same documentation for almost 45 mins and still dont understand it

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 05:04 PM PDT

    It's like when I'm reading it, I'm just reading it. By the time I understood it, it already took more than an hour. I'm learning react-dnd and everything I read just goes outside my brain. Before that , I was learning how to use references in react and it took me a long time to learn it and realize how simple it can be used.

    I'm at the state of creating projects to make my portfolio and right now, I feel worried that once I get a job and I dont know something, I might end up wasting my time learning something simple

    Experienced self-taught devs, if you could go back, how would you do/learn things differently

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 03:30 AM PDT

    Was there anything you wish started doing earlier, something that did not seem important earlier but now later down the road you realized that it wouldn't of been a bad idea you started it as soon as you could?

    Sincerely, someone who's going through hell of self learning.

    EDIT: Thanks for the awards! My first ones in my 4 years!

    EDIT 1: Many people saying that learning shouldn't be hell and that if it is it might not be the right thing for me? Am I missing something, is learning programming for the first time supposed to be a breeze?

    Should I ask people to review my code?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:21 PM PDT

    Over the past couple of years, I've been slowly picking up programming. I recently decided to get more serious and try to actually be a professional software engineer. I have some side projects, but I know they're written pretty badly. I studied history/sociology in grad school and it was really common for students to trade feedback on one another's papers before submitting them for a grade. Is this a thing with software engineers? Like do people look over one another's repos and give feedback, especially when applying for jobs and your repo needs to be in good shape?

    Are bootcamps worth it?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 07:25 PM PDT

    Hi!

    I've been unemployed for a few months, so I decided to try coding via Codecademy. I've been enjoying the lessons (So far I know basic HTML and CSS) and I don't see myself stopping any time soon.

    There's an upcoming bootcamp my friend suggested me to attend (it lasts 2 months and costs around $1000) if I really want to pursue this track.

    I enjoy coding from Codecademy, but I'm scared that the codes I'm learning/doing here is nothing compared to how it really is out there.

    So I guess my question is, would it be advisable for me to attend the bootcamp? or should I stay and self learn at Codecademy?

    I got my first rejection and I feel great

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 09:55 PM PDT

    Obviously, I prefer not getting rejected, but for me this is a huge milestone. I only started seriously coding in March. I'm not ready for real programming work at all, but I thought I should start applying here or there to get a feel for it. This was the first company I reached out to, and also my first dev interview. I got as far as a take-home assignment, which I found easy, but there were some other tests that I thoroughly fudged. They decided not to proceed with me after that. I got a nice email saying how competitive their application process is, but that I should reapply in the future when I've gained more experience. They're even paying me for my time doing the test.

    I know that not everyone's experience is like this, and the tech world is far from perfect, but this is worlds away from my previous career. I went to grad school in the arts in a very prestigious program, and applied to many sh!t jobs for which I was overqualified without getting any kind of response. So this is very encouraging to me.

    Of course, we'll see how I feel after 50 or so rejections... But point is, I don't know who needs to hear this, but getting rejected after overreaching a little is a great thing!

    Best formula for mid index? (Python)

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:50 PM PDT

    (Python)

    Which is the best way to find mid - or is there no difference between the two formulae:

    1. mid = low + (high - low) // 2
    2. mid = (low + high) // 2

    I'm trying to solve the "Find Min in Rotated Sorted Array" problem - and someone said the second formula might result in an infinite loop for certain test cases. Works fine in LeetCode (#153), but I want to confirm.

    Opinion on starting an open source project?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 03:06 PM PDT

    Hey, your friendly neighborhood cs major here. Recently, I've been trying to be more active with open source projects to practice code and work on more projects outside of schoolwork.

    Only thing is, I'm not sure if it'd be better to contribute to the plethora of already existing ones or start my own.

    I have some personal ideas I'd love to start working on, but would like for it to be an open source project so others can contribute and help as well. Is there a place to share my open source project to have it gain more attention?

    Any advice is highly appreciated! Thanks

    How much should I charge for a small Business Website?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 08:01 AM PDT

    Hello world!

    I'm a 20-year-old student, currently finishing my non-coding related school education. I have always had an aspiration for programming and with some time coming my way with COVID-19 I started out learning basic web development through youtube & udemy courses at the beginning of 2020. I reached my personal goal of creating a modern website using JS, CSS & HTML quit quickly and am now looking into React and WordPress Development. I have now also gotten my first chance of proving my skillset in a real-world environment: An acquaintance of mine is starting a small business (Id describe the business as a boutique kind of thing). So here the question: I'm really excited, creating my first professional website, but as the title suggests I have no idea how much to charge him for my work. Taking into account price listings from professional web-developer agencies (mostly starting at 2000 € here in Europe), this being my first project and us knowing each other I was thinking of suggesting the following offer: No up-front costs, 1000 € after the website is done and my client is happy with the result (Client pays hosting plan and future consultations for website-related work). I'm talking about a very basic Website with basically no functionality, except for exposure information etc...

    I'd be really thankful for any thoughts/suggestions! Cheers

    Beginner C++ Udemy Course Recommendation

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 08:06 PM PDT

    Hi everyone! I'm currently taking a beginner C++ course through a local community college and would like to double down and take another C++ course through Udemy as I had a lot of success with it learning Python. I'm pretty much exclusively a visual learner so textbooks are kind of rough for me. What Udemy course would y'all recommend? Thank you!

    What should I put on my internship resume when it comes to personal programming projects?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 10:00 PM PDT

    So I have done a few personal projects, one of the first big projects I did was I made a minecraft plugin for my buddies server in my freshman year of college. The problem is I was still new to programming and the design is horrible, like not efficient at all (basically in didn't even really understand dynamic structures yet) It worked great but I would have designed it way differently now. So should I still put it on my resume? How should I talk about it in a future interview? Also this is the only java project I did, i mainly do c++ as that is my universities program, and I also have c++ personal projects.

    Sorry if this isn't the right sub for this?

    How Do You Refer To An Array's Position Without Referencing its Value?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 09:32 PM PDT

    Trying to make a simple program that finds duplicate numbers in an array, and then makes a new array and fills that up with all the numbers it found duplicates of.

    So my logic is simple: Make a nested loop. Take each value in the array, and then compare it with each value in the array from start to finish. If there is a match, then increment a counter variable. Once its done, the value of the counter will be the amount of numbers which have duplicates.

    But in my loop, I want it to skip over itself and not count itself. So for example, if the array is = {2, 8, 10, 12, 2, 8 12}. And the outer loop is currently on array[1] which is 8, I want it to skip over the 8 in position 1 of the array.....but detect the 8 in position 5.

    I have written this in my code. So I have tried my idea in the if statement. It should match the current number in question, but not be equal to itself (position wise).

    But I don't think its working because its refering to the value of that position in the array. Not the position.

    for(int x=0; x<=arrayX.length-1; x=x+1){ int numInQuestion = arrayX[x]; for(int y=0; y<=arrayX.length-1; y=y+1){ if(arrayX[y]==numInQuestion && arrayX[y]!= arrayX[x]){ counter=counter+1; } } }

    Brad Traversy's Udemy Courses - How did you learn best from his content?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 08:31 PM PDT

    What has been your experience with Brad Traversy?

    Do you watch videos, and then re-watch and code along, and then create a new copy of your code-along from memory?

    I'm bookmarking spots where I think I'd find useful as references for when I'm building my own projects ... Curious what the best way to learn from him might be.

    c++ noobie here

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 08:02 PM PDT

    can someone help me get started im not sure how i would begin this

    1) Write a program that reads in ten whole numbers and outputs the sum of all the numbers greater than zero, the sum of all the numbers less than zero (which will be a negative number or zero), and the sum of all the numbers, whether positive, negative or zero. The user enters the ten numbers one at a time and the user can enter them in any order. The program should not ask to enter the positive and negative numbers separately. The program should also display the numbers used.

    Angular is frustrating me and making me hate my internship.

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 03:02 PM PDT

    When I first started this internship I was told I'd be working with back end stuff. It's a web security place and I thought I'd be doing stuff like that. I was told to start reading up on angular but it's super confusing and it's embarrassing to ask for help (at least for me). I have to recreate a web page but I have no idea how, and the other intern I work next to is cruising along without any problems. This intern has experience with web development whereas I don't have any experience or interest for that matter. Web development to me is confusing and not as rewarding as some other things I like to do (mainly python). It's difficult to ask for help when the other intern doesn't need any. Also I have looked at multiple tutorials but it doesn't interest me so I don't pay attention.

    Do I quit? I've only been doing this for about a month. I love programming but this makes me hate it. My dad thinks I just need to push through and maybe it'll get better.

    TLDR: I have no interest in web development, my internship is just that. Do I quit or stick with it?

    Would r/learnprogramming be so kind and help me solve a little problem I'm having in C

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:35 PM PDT

    I'm reading a file line by line and I'm trying to print a string on the same line as my last returned line from the fgets function. The problem is that fgets appends either a NULL character or a new line, not sure which, when called which causes the string that I pass into printf to be written on the next line instead of all together. Is there workaround for this? Code below. Apologies if this breaks the post rules.

    while(fgets(line,sizeof(line),fp) != NULL) { char* token; printf("%s", line); token = strtok(line, DELIM); //printf("%s", token); if(isComment(token)) { char* eComment = "*/"; char* asterisk = "*"; fgets(line,ARR_SIZE,fp); if(strncmp(line,asterisk,1) == 0) { char* token; printf("%s", line); fgets(line,sizeof(line),fp); token = strtok(line, "\0"); printf("%s (comment)\n",token); fgets(line,ARR_SIZE,fp); } printf("%s", line); }

    School f*Ed us up, need advice for internship

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:34 PM PDT

    Hi, so here's some context :

    I'm 26 and joined an adult cursus to get into programming, state funded, 7 months + 2 of internship. The course was supposed to be about Java, when we arrived first day, they decided that it would be PHP instead. I was not thrilled, none of my classmates were, so we complained.

    Our teacher, trying to be nice, decides to remove some stuff from php and add some java instead, which was honestly very nice of her, but she was honestly very, very bad at teaching. Classes were slow, uninteresting, we didn't do much... Basically felt like a waste of time.

    We thought it was just because well, she's probably more efficient in PHP, she taught us java as a favor, so let's not complain about that. Except when moment came for PHP to be taught she was just as bad.

    Long story short she ended up getting fired, we had a temp for two weeks who taught us the basics of php with symfony, and now we have a definite teacher, but we're starting back to java (with later Javascript and angular). I don't know how good the new teacher is yet.

    My problem is as follows: I like java a lot more than php. But I'm afraid that with the already wasted time learning nothing, the qualifications I'll get before my internship won't be sufficient to... Well... Get an internship, and eventually a job. Internships here are pretty bad and we're just glorified coffee makers, especially since it's an unpaid one, I really don't know if I'll learn anything but I know for certain that at the level I am now I cannot pass qualifications tests to get a job as a java developer

    On the other end, I couldn't care less about php and symfony but I seemed rather good at it, but at the same time we won't touch php for a while now since we're going to focus on java and Javascript.

    So, I really don't know what to do about my internship (starts late december). Should I try and get a java one anyways although I'm really not sure I'll be able to get a job right after it? Should I try to focus on what's "easier" and go full php, get a job and then complete my java knowledge by myself later?

    (I should mention that I can't afford to go back into another course after this one, I'm in debt and might get kicked out of my house soon so I really need to get qualifications and a job)

    Why I am getting confused while building a project in JavaScript?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 07:35 PM PDT

    I just completed my JavaScript course including jquery and React on Codecademy and udemy. But when I am trying to build something, I get confused.

    Its about three months and I couldn't find the idea of how to write the code to output a specific goal. Nothing is coming out to my head.

    And also when I googled, I found that my learning was not enough what I learn on Codecademy. There is more to learn and become expert.

    I could not find any complete JavaScript course that teach me everything(including how to accomplish a goal).

    My question is...

    1. Is it normal to everyone when they are just starting out in JavaScript or any programming language?
    2. Why I am obsessed. How to get rid of that? It seems that I don't have the ability to become a programmer. Really?(I have a Computer Application degree)
    3. Did it happened to you at the first time?
    4. Is there any tricks to find the easiest way to output a specific goal?

    Please suggest me some positive advice. I am not kind of person to just give up.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Scanning documents in Java?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:11 PM PDT

    Hi, just wondering how I would go about scanning documents/pictures in Java? I was hoping to get a screen where they can access the scanner straight from my Java swing app and then save the scanned image using the file functions of java. Is this a good way to do it? I was thinking maybe another way was to use another software (the one that comes with the scanner) to scan the document and then use java to pick out that particular image file and then rename it and copy it to a location then save that location to my database so that records in my java program can refer to it in the future? I tried googling scanning function of java but mostly it's paid libraries and I was hoping to get free/open-source so that I can use it in my swing program. Does anybody have experience in this? Thanks in advance.

    error: 'this_thread' is not a namespace-name

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:05 PM PDT

    I am on a school assignement and we are learning basic c++ and we got some code for a very basic program that we will build upon later today. So basically what it does it count from one to three with a small delay.

    Now the issue is I keep getting the "error: 'this_thread' is not a namespace-name" error when trying to compile the program and I just can't find a solution.

    The other namespaces are recognized, but "this_thread" isn't. Anyone that can point me in the right direction?

    Here is the code!

    What's something advance people don't seem to 'get'?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 07:17 PM PDT

    One of my coworkers banned singletons and made extra rules for any class that has static members. They're so strict we pretty much don't use them anymore and I have to say it's pretty nice. Specifically because we rarely get any funky multi-threading problems.

    Another developer said to me noone uses rust to replace C++ because rust takes longer to compile C++. Apparently we have people whos job is to spend hours a few hours every week to decrease the compile time. I kind of get why people rather use C++ instead or rust even on new projects.

    We also have unit testing but I'm not sure I understand why.

    What are some rules/techniques you guys follow that other people don't seem to do?
