    The two books I highly recommend for any intermediate learners

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 08:04 PM PST

    1. Foundations of Computer Science by Forouzan

    2.The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles by Nisan and Schoken

    both are excellent books. the second book teaches everything from hardware level. the first book then gives a solid foundation on hardware software interface. anyone who wants to learn the deep level stuff should study these 2 books.

    if you have suggestions, please list other books. i am willing to learn.

    I’m about to enter my second semester of Software Engineering, and I still can’t code for sh**

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 06:11 PM PST

    As the title suggests, I'm incapable of coding anything in Java besides the most simple little programs you can imagine. I enter a deep depression thinking about the fact that my introductory programming exam is coming up in 3 weeks. We have to present a game that we've made as a team, and it's expected that I can explain every single line of code including what we could've done differently. The thing is, I don't understand half of the code, since half of the people in my group did most of the coding. I haven't had the proper opportunity to try out the coding part of the project, other than the project planning itself, and I feel like everyone else is capable of coding besides myself. I know it's not a good thing to compare yourself to others, but I just can't help it. Heck, I can't even write a JUnit test, which is expected of me, according to my teacher. I really want to improve. I really do. I feel like I know a lot of the theory, but I just can't sit down and write it into code. I have so many project ideas that I want to fiddle with in my spare time, but I have no idea how to start them up. I tend to always ask myself if programming is for me, which it is since it allows me to be creative, which is something that I love to be, but for some reason the programming part itself just doesn't stickkkk and it frustrates me so much to the point where I lose sleep over the thought of my incapabilities (ironic how I'm writing this at 3 am) Am I too stupid? What do I do? What's the best way to improve? - because that's truly something I want. I WANT this, but even watching tutorials on YouTube or spending time on codecademy did almost nothing for me other than explaining the premises that I've already been taught in class. I don't want to give up, I really don't, but I've been on the edge of dropping out of uni multiple times, not gonna lie. I guess I just needed a place to rant, but any form of guidance or advice would be much appreciated

    How many courses should I take before focusing on my own projects?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 06:49 AM PST

    Hey everyone, I am kinda unsure on how many courses I should take before only focusing on my own projects.

    I am a Business major and want to learn programming mostly to realize some ideas for websites projects that I have (for example a website for scraping news) or a landing page perhaps for business ideas, but I do not want to make CS my full-time career.

    So far I've finished the codecademy course on Python and am now halfway through cs50 and intended to follow that one up with the cs50 web dev path. I assumed that would be enough as a foundation, so I could then just start my own projects and learn along the way.

    But I now stumbled upon OSSU (https://github.com/ossu/computer-science#prerequisites) and https://teachyourselfcs.com/ and I wonder how many of those are really necessary for me to complete before abandoning doing courses and only focusing on my own projects (Which is way more fun imo)?

    I have given up on Programming.

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 06:20 PM PST

    Hey Reddit, I think this is my first post ever here.. or in reddit in general.

    As the tittle suggest I think this is it, just a little backstory, I started learning code by myself almost a year ago, I decided to go to a bootcamp to maybe kickup my skills a little bit faster.
    Long story short, I did the bootcamp, based on RoR (I know, I should've saved more for a JS one, I didn't know the demand it had. ), everything was great, a lot of knowledge, did two great projects, and till this day.. I think I know nothing.
    I've applied for almost 300+ jobs and just have gotten 3 full interviews till the end (Like HR telling me we're sorry but we are going to go with another candidate).

    I'm 25 years old and I've never did a big accomplishment by myself, just this. I thought this was it.

    Then tried and started learning JS more in depth, React, node , that stuff, then see more jobs offers on Java/Php, well you name it, I've gone back and forth.

    But I decided to quit, live from a callcenter salary and hope I pass my 30's.

    Maybe is the alcohol talking right through me but oh well, I'm not here to ask for advices or anything, I just needed to talk/ write something to get it out of my chest.

    Maybe I will buy an Arduino and play with it on my free time.

    Cheers guys,

    Frank

    Is it a bad practice to prefer video tutorial over reading documentation?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 09:55 PM PST

    I usually can't understand the codes in documentation and implement them on my project. While I watch youtube video tutorials, I get a clear concept of what does what and a pretty good guideline of what to do sequencially.

    Is it a bad practice to be dependant on third party videos rather than using official documentation?

    CS Major lacking confidence and utterly confused

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 07:49 PM PST

    EDIT: Aww, thank you so much for the awards! 💕

    Not sure if this is the right place to be posting this, but I'm a CS major, and though I understand the syntax of programming languages and what not, I'm still not making the connection of, "Oh! When I write code on this IDE, it can be turned into a software program!" And its driving me insane.

    Granted, this is only my first year, and we just finished learning Java off ZyBooks. The language is graspable, and I basically learned how to compile a bunch of different things, but I can't see myself being a full blown, confident programmer who creates things like Facebook, Google, or Amazon. I'm not looking to be a huge creator or anything, I just want to be competent enough for my future job as a software engineer (fingers crossed).

    Will the confidence come as the years go by during college, or am I hopeless? I don't want to be stuck compiling a "Hello World!" program forever. Does it click along the way? I GET the language, but I'm lost when it comes to actually creating something with it.

    Please help with this question that's probably too easy for you folks.

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 06:38 PM PST

    I am learning Python.

    My codes

    samp_string = " This is a very important string " samp_string = samp_string.strip() samp_string = samp_string.upper() samp_string

    The output

    'THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STRING'

    But the answer or the anticipated output is

    ​

    THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STRING

    So, my question is, how do I write the codes so that the program returns what's inside the string?

    Python... to learn, or not to learn

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 03:54 PM PST

    Hi all, I have a friend who is a developer.

    He informed me that python teaches bad programming principles, when trying to pick up other languages... its kind of putting me off learning python. I'm just looking for a reason to get back into python because i did enjoy it, but i really don't want to learn something which is going to cause issues when trying to pick another language up in the future?

    I didn't want to ask r/Python as its quite a biased place to ask this question. I thought asking where people might have an honest view of the subject (i.e. people who learnt python, then went onto something else and vizevsera)

    What would be a great way to build an A.I from the ground up?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 09:02 PM PST

    A side from knowing the basic's of a few coding languages. I'm currently trying to learn about A.I coding.

    Well I'd like to know what would be the best route for creating one, from scratch.

    Thoughts?

    What are some of the many things I can do with JAVA?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 09:34 PM PST

    I have recently finished learning java, I can say I am intermediate in the language. Since I am currently in college, I was wondering, what I can do with Java, that would help me earn some money and build up my portfolio as well. I know JDBC, socket programming, swing, multi-threading in Java. I gotta earn some pocket money while upskilling myself.

    How to make a university application for a CS undergrad attractive?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 12:22 AM PST

    I'm an adult student and my plan is to move out of Sweden and study CS in the UK. I don't really have any high school grades except for Math and English. They're currently a little over GCSE level. I'm taking accelerated full-time courses, though, and by the end of 2021 I'm planning to have finished A-level Maths and English.

    Now, I'm not sure if these alone would be enough to get into a CS program in the UK and since I don't have experience programming, I'm wondering if I could make my application stronger by perhaps adding a CS introduction certificate from MIT or Harvard? Or should I rather just focus on building some projects? The latter would imply I would be learning from some other, easier resource and applying what I've learned, so definitely great, but maybe admissions would be happy to see certificates from the aforementioned academies? It can't hurt to do both, but I don't want to spend extra unnecessary time.

    Getting overwhelmed

    Posted: 29 Dec 2020 12:17 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    I've been teaching myself how to code on and off for the past 6 months or so with the little time I have avaliable after work. I've been learning HTML, CSS, JS and Python with the intention of getting a job as a developer asap

    I'm not sure what has happened but my confidence has plummeted and I'm feeling very overwhelmed even though I'm just going through the motions

    I've made around half a dozen little projects and I think I'm getting concerned as to when I'll be ready to apply for a job or not. Any advice lads?

    Cheers

    Feeling lost in the vast amount of learning resources, advice appreciated

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 05:10 AM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I am a newbie to this sub so please excuse any mistakes I might make here.

    I have spent a while studying python to an above beginner level and I absolutely enjoyed the concept of web dev. I am now trying to find a resource to make myself "freelance ready" for the web dev world. I have scoured the web looking at different resources: Angela Yu, Colt Steele, Google Classroom courses and more and honestly I feel very lost.

    My issue is that seemingly most of these resources have avid fans which swear by their methods and that makes it hard to find what's right for me.

    I do not mind paying or putting effort but I thought I would pose a question here.

    If anyone here had to select up to two resources to learn from to get job ready or as close as he could, what would you do?

    Making scripts for Google Meet

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 11:45 PM PST

    Problem Statement: Is there any way to make scripts for Google Meet?

    Background: Want to make a script for google meet which would allow a user to:

    Join a meeting at a predefined time. Leave when the number of participants in the meet are less than a certain value. Post a desktop notification that the meeting has been joined by the script.

    I have no idea if this is possible. Have a background in coding, but making scripts is new for me. Can anyone point out on how to achieve this task? Links for this particular subject are also appreciated. (Googling for script writing doesn't seem to help for this query.)

    Why are connection pools made? What happens if I don't create a connection pool?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 05:32 PM PST

    My understanding of connection pools are you have a pool of connections that allow you to connect a client to a database, and when a user connects one of these connections are used up. Why is this a benefit? Why don't you just create a new connection whenever a user connects, rather than having a pool of connections waiting for someone to connect? When I look at code examples online, it seems like sometimes a connection pool is established yet other times it's not. Why is that?

    What's a good IDE/Editor for programming in most major languages that supports Linux?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 11:27 PM PST

    I would like to find a good IDE/Editor that supports Linux (I use Arch Linux). I currently using Neovim, but I would like to find something better. I prefer keyboard-centric programs. I do not like having to reach over for my mouse every 5 seconds.

    • Neovim is nice, and it does pretty much what I need to do right now, but I don't do much programming as of right now anyway. I plan on doing a lot more development in the future, and I am unsure if Neovim has all the things I need such as debugging and other features that IDEs come with. I still might end up staying with Neovim.

    • I've heard good things about Emacs, but it's seems a little... Much. It has a bunch of cool stuff, but I really want to use an IDE/Text editor for what it was made for. No, I do not need web browser in my editor. It is unnecessary to me.

    • I used VSCode on Windows, but this was before I migrated over to using keyboard-centric programs. Not a bad program though.

    • I prefer not to use things by Jetbrains. I hear their IDEs are fucking awesome, but I would rather not have an entirely different program just another language.

    Does anybody here know of a good, keyboard-centric IDE/Editor that has support for Linux and many major languages?

    How to fix infinite jumping in javascript

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 11:06 PM PST

    Ok so I know this question has been asked already but none of those helped me.I have a cube which moves around but the problem is that while jumping if the spacebar is held down,the charecter can almost fly in tha canvas.i want the charecter to only be able to double jump but whatever i try it doesn't work.Can somebody help me i am just starting out

    ​

    Player.js

    class Player { constructor(width,height,color,x,y){ this.width = width; this.height = height; this.color = color; this.gravity = 1.8; this.velocity = 0; this.lift = -75; this.speed = 0; this.maxSpeed = 7; this.jumping = false; this.position = { x: x, y: y, } } draw(ctx){ ctx.fillStyle = this.color; ctx.fillRect(this.position.x,this.position.y,this.width,this.height); } jump(){ this.velocity += this.lift; } moveRight(){ this.speed = this.maxSpeed; } moveLeft(){ this.speed = -this.maxSpeed; } stop(){ this.speed = 0; } update(dt){ if(!dt) return; this.position.x += this.speed; this.velocity += this.gravity; this.velocity *= 0.9 this.position.y += this.velocity; if (this.position.y > 785 - this.height){ this.position.y = 785 - this.height; } if (this.position.y < 0){ this.position.y = 0; } if (this.position.x > 1530 - this.width){ this.position.x = 1530 - this.width } if (this.position.x < 0){ this.position.x = 0; } } }

    ​

    InputHandle.js

    class InputHandler{ constructor(player){ document.addEventListener("keydown",(event) => { switch(event.key){ case "a": player.moveLeft(); break; case "d": player.moveRight(); break; case " ": player.jump() break; } }) document.addEventListener("keyup",(event) => { switch(event.key){ case "a": player.stop(); break; case "d": player.stop(); break; } }) } }

    Am I the only that feels this way?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 10:51 PM PST

    I'm a computer science major and I've been learning programming for the past two years, but this year in particular has been such a slog. For reference, I'm learning C++ in school but I'm teaching myself web development on the side (specifically front end) so I can get an internship for next year. All the stuff I have to learn to make portfolio projects is really bringing me down; the amount of technologies I need to learn just to get noticed feels incredibly insurmountable at times. Today when I was trying to follow along with a tutorial involving API's and I came across an error, that kinda made me shut down for the evening and it made me feel incredibly crappy. I know that programming isn't easy at all to master, but my god do I feel overwhelmed.

    I guess my question is how do I manage to keep myself motivated in spite of all the skills I want to learn? I know what I want my end goal to be (which is to graduate college, become a software engineer, and move outside of the us one day) but even that ambition is struggling to keep me motivated.

    Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    How long did The Odin Project Foundations portion take?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 10:33 PM PST

    Just the initial "Foundations" path, not the "full stack ruby on rails" or "full stack javascript" paths.

    I have previous experience with python but almost none in web development. I realize that TOP is supposed to be self-paced, but I'd like to hear about others' experiences with it.

    How do I transfer my project incl database etc to a new computer?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 04:19 PM PST

    Hey all,

    My mid-2015 MacBook Pro is getting a little long in the tooth, I have been slowly working on a project using Python/Django and PostgreSQL in Atom IDE.

    I'm actually frightened of upgrading my laptop because I have no idea how to transfer everything across to the new computer. My database in particular took forever to figure out because I had to install PostGIS for geospatial data. And I feel like I kinda futzed my way through that and don't want to do it again lol.

    How do people usually get all their code etc across to a new machine? Probably time I learned. I have done a bit of GitHub but don't trust that I've proper uploaded everything.

    Thanks!

    By googling, I get even more confused, because they tend to use specific terminology that I cannot understand.. can someone explain it to me in kids words what they are?

    How to start from scratch

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 03:57 PM PST

    The title seems simple for the post at hand, but here it is. My mom wants to get started in coding, in hopes of finding a better job that's less physically demanding as the one she has now (she's in the healthcare field). Problem is, my dad who has plenty of experience in IT, gave her recommendations on QA analysis and she's been watching countless videos on concepts and languages that she's not at all familiar with. The result is that she's not learning much at all, and she's consistently frustrated because nothing seems to stick. I read on here earlier that videos and courses aren't nearly as helpful as making projects (which has helped and given me confidence on my journey to web design, but I digress). I ask you all, if someone were to start COMPLETELY from scratch, not knowing what they wanted to do once they really get into programming, what would you recommend? Any help would be much much appreciated. Thank you, and a healthy holiday and happy new year to you all.

    People who work as developers with no CS degree? do you wish you had a CS degree?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 03:55 PM PST

    I hate asking this because I feel like I am not conveying my question in the best way possible, but I understand that you don't need a degree to be a S/EorD, but I feel like you almost need it to get hired/interviewed. I mean even I as someone who is still a beginner can see that the the CS curriculum in most universities doesn't relate to SE as much as you would think, yet lots of job openings require it in some what of a indirect manner. So I wanted to know if you're someone who made it as a software developer, do you think a degree in SC would benefit you in a way that justifies doing it for 3/4 for university instead of something else?.

    ​

    Thank you.
