I just realised something about loops Posted: 19 Dec 2020 12:55 PM PST (using python as example language) would give almost the same result as the only difference being that the second version also prints out 10 (since the adition takes place inside the loop) this is probably already well-known, but I just realised this and now I see the relation between for and while loops a lot better [link] [comments] |
Posted: 19 Dec 2020 07:46 PM PST Are the skills learned at a SE coding bootcamp at all related to any roles in the games industry. I don't really know how it works at these big AAA studios. Are people coding and are the skills of a normal SE similar to the skills someone in games would need [link] [comments] |
I am creating an Anki flash card deck as I read "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" Posted: 19 Dec 2020 11:40 PM PST As per the teach yourself CS curriculum, I have started reading SICP. To deepen my understanding, I am reading slowly and creating Anki flash cards as I go. The deck will be updated daily as I read more. Here is the link to download the deck: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/886062172 more info on Anki: https://apps.ankiweb.net/ [link] [comments] |
Posted: 19 Dec 2020 11:25 PM PST Hey all. Am i shooting myself in the foot by wanting to learn C? I started my programming journey thinking i wanted to be a Web developer so i learnt some ruby and then JS and then i moved to networking and so the language of choice is python it seems. However i don't enjoy those languages very much and after watching the CS50 videos i decided that i want to learn C. I guess to ability to manipulate things at a much lower level speaks to me. Am i shooting myself in the foot wanting to learn C just cuz or should i stick to a language that i can apply in my daily life, like python? [link] [comments] |
Is there any way to implement Julia in Spyder? Posted: 19 Dec 2020 07:43 PM PST I am wondering cause i wanted to learn a bit of Julia but i really like the Spyder IDE. Any chance Julia could work on it or if there's a similar IDE? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |

Posted: 19 Dec 2020 03:47 PM PST Question in the title. I've seen several posts across various programming subreddits where the poster is looking for a mentor, but what exactly are the benefits of having a mentor? [link] [comments] |
Need help with deleting items on React Posted: 19 Dec 2020 10:57 PM PST How do I delete items all at once for all selected checkboxes? I'm creating a to-do list and trying to delete items by selecting them via checkboxes. I made an object to store the component in a property called value and a separate property called key that stores a random UUID. This is stored as an array of objects. When a user clicks on the checkbox, I pass the key to the parent component to add the key to a useState hook as a list of keys. This is so when the user clicks delete, I can use filter to check if every item in the keys in to-do list is not equal to the keys in the list of keys. The problem is the selected checkboxes are not all being deleted simulateousnly. Why is this? Anyone suggestions on how to implement this feature in React using functional components?

Hey, anyone know why this error happens? Posted: 19 Dec 2020 10:56 PM PST Hey, anyone know why this error happens every time I try to run my code in VS2019? I'm trying to run C# forms if that helps.. [link] [comments] |
Most efficient self-teaching methods? Posted: 19 Dec 2020 10:50 PM PST Hello everyone! I am very interested in programming although I do not yet have any hands-on experience whatsoever. I am looking for experienced developers' / engineers' help. My goal is to find some sort of guideline to go from zero to hero in hopes to eventually have a career change for programming (which I believe will suit me better than my current job.) I am fairly ambitious and am ready to deeply look into all necessary components of computer science and programming over the next few years with an aim for the big companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc... I know I am way ahead of myself, but aim for the moon, and if you miss you might hit a star right? Is there a highly recommendable series of books I should read on computer science before diving into choosing a programming language, or is this not a big necessity? I am thinking of starting with Python as this seems to be the most popular/ in-demand/ beginner-friendly. Citing my interests might be a plus in getting the best answers so here I go: I wish to program my own Scripts, Bots, Automation tools. I would like to learn to make websites and analyze data I am interested in learning to build applications for mobile devices I also would like to have the general knowledge to be able to pick things up quickly if need be once in the industry. Sorry if this is a long post. It's my first post and I could have written 2,000 pages worth of questions. I'm just looking for advice to start my journey in the best way possible. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 19 Dec 2020 10:30 PM PST Hi, this is my first post! I have been questioning my ability to learn programming lately- web development specifically. I'm learning JavaScript right now and having a pretty tough time. The info just doesn't seem to stick. I'm wondering if part of this is due to my ADD(was just recently diagnosed). Is this something that will hinder my ability to become a good programmer? I really enjoy programming, but sometimes it's so hard to get the motivation to sit down and do it. Retaining the info is so hard, especially reading the tech jargon. I feel like it's taking me longer than the typical self-learner. I was thinking about attending a boot camp, but didn't know if my ADD would prevent me from keeping up? Any thoughts or words of wisdom would help. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
My problem with learning coding by yourself Posted: 19 Dec 2020 04:27 PM PST I tried learning programming about 3 times myself - all of these attempts failed. I'm currently going to an academy focussing on Computer Science and I'm more than happy to learn more about Computers, programming etc. - and it's not just about motivation and perseverance and I want to tell you why. By learning yourself, you have no one to notice your mistakes or bad habits. This is one of the biggest issues; it applies to pretty much everything you can learn. My teachers teach us good practice and extremely useful tips in coding to not only save time but also to make our lives easier. I've never seen tips like these in online courses (even paid ones!) and tutorials/documentations (shortcuts etc. are documented but as someone who starts programming you really wouldn't know which ones are important). Teaching is also my next point: You don't really learn everything surrounding programming In the academy, I have courses that are all dedicated to a certain aspect of Computer Science. One teaches us about Data, data modelling and everything surrounding this topic. Another class is maths, were we learn how certain calculations are done, especially things like matrices or polynoms are our current focus. One class is mainly about programming (Java) and yet another one is about all the hardware and barebone aspects of a Computer - we're even going to learn to write in Assembler (nothing advanced though as it's just about teaching us the principles of assembler). Why is this important? Because you need to know what you're writing your programms for! Even though we're programming in Java (which takes a lot of work from your shoulders like the garbage collector), we're learning about the point and efficiency of value and reference types and how to make cleaner and more efficient code overall (see my first point). This is a huge thing and I haven't come across a course that really teaches you this properly or talks about its importance in detail. You don't really know what you're able to do after "learning" a programming language This one is quite embarassing but it really happened to me: I went to a interview for a 3-year paid "internship" (I don't really know what they're called in english; basically you work for a company and go to school and learn your profession while getting paid) and they asked me what my goal was - if I'd like to be a front-end developer, or maybe back-end? Or even administrator? And I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. This showed me, that I didn't even knew what I was getting into. All I knew was that I wanted to learn programming but had no idea about my possibilities. With someone (the academy in my case) giving me a guideline, I have a clearer picture of the job of a developer. All these things put together made me realize that there's a lot more to being a programmer than just learning a language and coding - and it made me want to learn all of this even more! Granted, I have very good teachers that absolutely love their profession, but (for me, at least) it's way more fun to learn all of this compared to sitting at my desk at home, watching some courses (yes, I even bought some...) and trying to learn coding while not even getting close to the level I am at right now because I have no real guiding hand. If you're really ambitious and think you can handle it, I won't stop you. I just hope someone will take notice of this post so they're not disappointed if learning alone isn't working out as planned. You just need to consider that there's more to programming than learning a language and coding. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 19 Dec 2020 10:24 PM PST I've been slowly learning the basics and I've been wondering how I should put it into practice. What are projects that are challenging but not too hard for someone who just started learning? I'm learning python btw. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 19 Dec 2020 10:16 PM PST Hey everyone I'm learning Ruby and enjoying it, but I'm having a terrible time with substrings. Like for example, I have this code here on repl.it that almost works.
This returns [["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "a", "ab", "abc", "abcd", "abcde"] so it's close but not right. Does anyone have any suggestions can help me figure this out? [link] [comments] |
What is the best way to go over algorithms for example trees? Posted: 19 Dec 2020 09:58 PM PST I want to practice programming on my own outside of classes. I think I would learn a lot from learning algorithms and their concepts. Should I just implement every common algorithm in a practice program? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 19 Dec 2020 09:52 PM PST I feel like learning from mistakes is huge in programming? Learning the syntax is stressful but I feel like I'm getting there (python). Just learned how to evaluate not/and/or operators. Definitely wishing I paid more attention in math classes. Luckily I'm a teacher and had to learn basic algebra again not too long ago. It's coming back quick. Is it normal to feel like learning is a roller coaster ride? I'm still struggling to see how what I'm learning can be turned into a useful program, and afraid that after I learn a language I'll have trouble putting it all together, is that normal?

Should career changers learn iOS dev in 2021? Posted: 19 Dec 2020 11:57 AM PST or would web dev be a safer choice? I am more inclined towards iOS but there aren't many jobs and that worries me about the future. [link] [comments] |
[Database Design] About clothing table for an outfit picker system Posted: 19 Dec 2020 03:15 PM PST I have thought of a Clothing table: id | name | type | size |colour | season | tags Tags table: id | clothingid | name | description (optional) If the user has a preference for stylish clothes that are great for winter and something that is thick (for the cold) the user can get outfit suggestions. The tags table has a lot of good possibilities it can store how comfortable the clothes are their material other meta information so it is quite flexible, but a question that comes to mind is that if the tags table is so versatile then why don't we store the size,season, colour, type information to the tags column? I mean it would work like in SQL: SELECT * FROM Clothing inner join Tags WHERE Clothing.id=Tags.clothingid AND Tags.name="Shirt" AND Tags.name="Blue" AND Tags.name="Casual" AND Tags.name="Medium" The disadvantage for this approach would be the clarity of the database and the Tags table would look like lots of meta squashed into 1 table. Is my opinion in the right direction? What am I missing/not thinking about? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 19 Dec 2020 09:01 PM PST I am supposed to count the numbers of integers in the file and print the count. The loop I made is infinite. How do I exit it to print the count? File inData = new File("idata"); Scanner infile = new Scanner(inData); int count = 0; while(infile.hasNextInt()){ } System.out.println(count); [link] [comments] |
Posted: 19 Dec 2020 08:50 PM PST I'm currently using "Programming principles and practice using C++" written by the creator of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup but am having trouble with the book. I've looked around at reviews and answers and many say that Gaddis book is much better at explaining stuff clearly and doing what right what Stroustrup gets wrong. So just wondering if you have read the book in the title before I buy it and what are your thoughts on it [link] [comments] |
Posted: 19 Dec 2020 08:37 PM PST Hi guys, recently, I've decided to polish up my coding skills. I'm pretty interested in Data Science as I have a background in engineering and mathematics. I've heard that Macs are better for programming because they're Unix based, but it this true? I've learned quite a bit of C, Java, and Python on PC so far and the experience isn't bad at all. I took a class at my local university in making mobile iOS apps and that required Macbook. Also, just looking for a good all around laptop that I can use for general office work in the meanwhile. I do a bit of video editing from time to time, but just really simple things. Right now my primary tools are things like ANSYS, SolidWorks, MATLAB, which run fine on a 4-year old Windows Laptop. Would these run on a Macbook Pro? Travel size is also a consideration as I commute by train 2 to 3 times a week. Any advice? [link] [comments] |
How can I know if I'm ready to make money? Posted: 19 Dec 2020 08:06 AM PST I'm 19, currently studying CS and I've been programming for 3 years. I know: * Python (also have the Google IT Automation with Python Professional Certificate) * Java/C# (only basics since my laptop can't handle heavy projects) * PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript * Bash scripting (idk if this counts) * hardware stuff too I made lots of projects on my own (automation, software with GUI, websites, testing tools...). But there's always something new to learn. I really like programming so I don't mind learning new stuff 24/7, but I would like to make money with what I know. There are tons of posts about people getting a job/project after learning few things. I don't want to screw up my first paid project. How can I know if I'm ready to make money? I don't know if that makes sense. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 19 Dec 2020 07:35 PM PST I know Michael Reeves, and Jabrils are useful YouTubers when it comes to teaching coding, but who else can I learn from? [link] [comments] |
