| Going for a CS degree has been the best choice I ever made Posted: 23 Dec 2020 03:52 PM PST Last year, I went for a CS degree in college because I knew that I wanted to get into software engineering. Some people told me that getting a CS degree isn't really necessary because 'you can learn on your own' and do projects to get a programming job. On this sub, I also sometimes see people seriously shitting on a CS degree and advising to go do a bootcamp. On my very first day in college, the very first lecture I had in the first ten minutes I already had a 'click' moment. The lecturer started off talking about the history of programming languages: C, Java, FORTRAN, etc. He then went on to say that there was a need for a new, C based, programming language (this was last-year, so I can't remember exactly what he said). That's why they introduced C++: the ++ means an increment of one, and since this language was more powerful than C, they called it C++. I was like holy shit, I've programmed a lot before but I never realized this. This 'click' moment might not seem very interesting, but it's actually symbolic for my college experience. Throughout my study (I'm in my second-year now), I've had a lot of those moments and learned a lot of things which I otherwise wouldn't have if I studied on my own. I would've also never come across many concepts taught in college and didn't realize the importance of them if I studied on my own or did a bootcamp (it's simply too short to get all of that knowledge across). The good thing about studying CS in college is also that it forces you to do hard things: if you don't implement the quicksort or shortest path algorithm by noon, you failed the grade. If I had studied on my own and would stumble across something I would've found really difficult to implement (during a project for example), I would've just skipped it and gone for something easier. In college, that's not possible. Today, also as an example, I had a talk with a recruiter for a part-time job as a programmer besides my study. The recruiter was very enthusiastic, telling me that she's very happy to have someone with my background and literally said that they prefer candidates like me than self-taught, bootcamp and community-college students. I go to a very reputable school for CS, so she also told me: you know what, if you for some reason fail the coding test, you can retake it, because someone with your background (just the CS degree) is someone we really want. Usually, there's also some experience needed for this job (~a year), but she told me that my degree makes up for that. You wouldn't get any kind of this lenience if you do a bootcamp or are self-taught. Point is, if you're doubting between getting a CS degree, doing a bootcamp and doing it all on your own, definitely choose for the CS degree. It'll be well worth it, and I just don't understand why there's sometimes so much critique on getting a CS degree here. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Dec 2020 07:51 PM PST Hey guys I know I'm a bit late with my offer I received an offer from a large consulting company they're looking for at least 30+ people it was a walk in interview day. I presented my self nicely and answer every interview questions they were throwing at me. I was scare at first since at the time I was 20 years old with no degree just went to a coding bootcamp. (The offer was around March before COVID, It was 55k salary since I live in CT) I truly believe if you work hard at something you will get rewarded just don't give up and keep pushing things just take time and when it's your time to shine you'll be bright.

| Made a calculator using python! Posted: 23 Dec 2020 03:39 AM PST Hello, you may recognise me from a post I made. If so, thank you for your helpful comments. I recently made a basic calculator using python. It is not very much, but it is my very first project I have made without the use of a tutorial. I hope to work on more projects and show them to reddit and my dad. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Depression while trying to program. Posted: 23 Dec 2020 03:58 PM PST Just wanted to ask if I am alons with this. So basically when I am trying to program and something doesnt work I just wanna give up and feel stupid. Then people say you have to go through the struggle. But honestly I do nothing but struggle. I google for an hour for a simple problem and in the end I find nothing helpful even though there is so much information out there. Does it ever get better? Does someone feel as lost as I do?

| How do you program a programming language? Posted: 23 Dec 2020 10:14 PM PST Hey all, I'm a bit of a newbie with coding - I understand Python decently, and am currently working hard on Swift. I was thinking about this earlier; how is a programming language such as Python made? I'm assuming there's another language which makes that (let's call this "E"). But now, what makes E? And what makes what makes E? I might not be explaining this well, but basically I'm just wondering how this all starts? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there any website which assumes you already know programming? Posted: 23 Dec 2020 03:23 PM PST Hey there. I know fundamentals of Programming and OOP so whenever I want to learn a new language, I don't want to go through the process ALL OVER AGAIN. Is there any website [preferably interactive like codecademy] which assumes you already know programming and just gives you a quick overview how to do stuff in the new language? [link] [comments]  |
| Resource for Java Data Structures and Algorithms Posted: 23 Dec 2020 06:16 PM PST I'm looking to solidify my understanding of data structures and etc in Java in preparation for a course. What are the best resources on the internet for that? Preferably includes the listed topics below: Hash tables, Binary Search Trees, Balanced Trees, AVL trees, Abstract classes, Heaps, Generics, Graphs, Depth First Search, Breadth First Search (I'm just listing down stuff I see in the syllabus I'm not sure what they are so they might conflict) [link] [comments]  |
| HELP* Here's an update on my budget project with Javascript. Posted: 23 Dec 2020 08:11 AM PST I'm reuploading because in my last post I didn't update my codepen with my current VSC. Okay so someone helped me with trying to save my entries into local storage with an easy solution. So now what I'm confused with is this. If I reload the page I want the local storage data displayed back onto my income and expense lists. I searched on google and came across a video of a todo list with javascript and tried to apply this guys method but since he only had one input and I have two, it won't work plus it was somewhat confusing to me. I'm also planning that when I click the delete button on an entry, it removes the entry and value from local storage. Any help and advice is appreciated. Thanks! here is my https://codepen.io/dustin-mcleod/pen/oNzNKgv [link] [comments]  |

| Does anyone know a good place to learn C++ that actually has ample practice exercises? Posted: 23 Dec 2020 10:18 PM PST I've been trying to find a place to learn C++ that actually has ample practice problems that go along with the information being taught. I've looked at some of the top courses on Udemy and PluralSight but they all just seem to have videos of people talking and never enough practice problems. I also started on Saylor Academy but some of the information on there seems different websites thrown together. Anyone have any guidance or ideas? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a book that teaches OOP using multiple langauges? Posted: 23 Dec 2020 08:50 AM PST Hello all! I am currently taking a university course teaching OOP using C++ as the language of choice, but, from my perspective and the perspective of a very experienced relative who's in the industry for more than 20 years the course seems to teach C++ more than it is teaching OOP. That is pretty much self-evident from the fact that the course's textbook is "C++ How to Program" (Tenth Edition) by Paul and Harvey Deitel. That is why I wanted to find a book that teaches OOP as a paradigm or way of thinking preferabbly using multiple languages as to not get to entwined with the details of any specific language and to make sure that the book is actually teaching OOP rather than any specific language. I searched the internet and Reddit but couldn't find such a book. So, if you know of such a book please tell me. Also, if you know of a book that excels at teaching OOP using a specific language instead but doesn't get too entwined with the language itself, please do tell me about it also. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Dec 2020 09:15 PM PST In the second example, you don't need to +1 if you don't want 0 to be among your list of random numbers. However, I've seen most programmers use Math.floor() and then +1 in the end. Is there any advantage to this or is it just convention to use Math.floor()? [link] [comments]  |
| Want to Join a Dedicated Study Group? Posted: 23 Dec 2020 07:01 PM PST I'm looking for 3-5 people who are interested in forming a study group to self-teach ourselves software engineering. We'll meet at least once a week, hold each other accountable, and learn by doing with projects. We'll accelerate our learning by practicing the Feynman Technique - learning a topic or pattern, then teaching it to each other (synchronously or asynchronously). We'll playfully argue over what our "Capstone Project" will be and all contribute to the project's codebase, and get internet famous by blogging about the group learning tactics we used after we're all working at Google, Facebook and (insert your favorite world-changing startup here). 90% of that was serious, and 10% joking - but either way, I am 100% looking for a great group to study with as we all change our careers, and by extension, our lives - together. Experience level doesn't matter. Commitment level does. The more diverse our experience, the better. Leave a comment & either send me a DM or wait for mine if you're interested. We start January 1st. Cheers! [link] [comments]  |

I want to make an application on a timer that generates a desktop message to remind him that I love him and that kind of stuff. Sadly, I have no idea where to start or even what to do. I could use any kind of help! Please dont be too mean to me I know nothing about programming c: [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Dec 2020 10:02 AM PST ... was doing for me what i intended and that strict rules breaks it. My code is on github at https://github.com/asimplebear/homeserver.git and I was hoping someone could tell me if this is something to fix or an indication that I need to start over after learning more stuff. I like criticism too if anyone wants to roast me and my masterpiece... [link] [comments]  |
| Help with an assignment on a program Posted: 23 Dec 2020 08:47 PM PST I need humongous help with this programming software called Snap.berkely. It's similar to scratch, but a just a little bit different. I need help with an assignment, and everything would be helpful. I would be tremendously grateful if someone is able to. I need help with switching screens, creating a reset button, and other things. I have read the manual, searched up videos online,etc. I have hit a blockade, and I just need help. I have tried everything, but I just don't know. Anything would be appreciated. I will post a URL if someone decides to help. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Dec 2020 12:10 AM PST I'm a junior CS student and I have watched Bucky (thenewboston) basically for every class or when I was stuck on some code. While watching a Caleb Curry video, I saw that he had a video saying that Bucky was back! I IMMEDIATELY looked up thenewboston and say that he has been uploading for a month now! This is such big news to me cause he literally helped me with most of my first programming assignments and was the reason I never gave up in the earlier days! If you haven't checked him or Caleb Curry out, you should stop what you're doing an do so! They are geniuses and they break down every small detail to ensure their viewers are getting the best explanation possible! Good luck coding! [link] [comments]  |

| I feel so flustered where do I start. Posted: 23 Dec 2020 11:58 PM PST I just coming from a stats and math background as a second year , I've been constantly dreaming of wanting to become a SWE. I finally have my three week break and have started to sit down and figure out where I want to start. I want to figure out one language to start with that I can use during interviews and will teach me object oriented programming and is a strong skill to have. Now I've been hearing to choose between C++,C, Or Java . What do I do? I can't make up my mind I really need some advice. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Dec 2020 05:55 PM PST Hi! I'd like to share it here because I don't have any friend or code-related group to talk to, so I want to put my happiness here ;) and maybe you could tell me the mistakes I made or what i have to improve :D. This week I completed my first month of studying Web Development and today I finished my first project using Html, CSS and Js. I did some copies of google pages in the past but just with Html and CSS, they're on my Github repo with live previews! But today I finished in nearly 8 hours my first game! a rock-paper-scissors using javascript and some HTML/CSS to make the page look great, the repo is here and the live version is on the README. I know that the HTML is a bit messy because I just focused on javascript, but I will be doing some code refactoring to get the three files more ordered. I'm really happy with the progress I'm having, understanding better what I should do in every situation and a better mind for solving problems too, two weeks ago I couldn't even think about finishing this on 8 hours but I did! and I'm sure I will get better times ( tho I like to take my time to get everything in order and avoid doing messy code) And sorry for my English I'm trying to get better at it too 😄.

| Learn programming during school break Posted: 23 Dec 2020 11:53 PM PST I am currently working full time and also taking 1-2 online CS classes every quarter at a community college. We are in the break now, I am wondering what resource or activity would you use or do in order to improve your skill and knowledge, so you can better prepare for new quarter and so forth. I will be taking second Java course at this CC, topic will be OOP design. [link] [comments]  |
