| Learning to program at 57 yrs old Posted: 24 Dec 2020 07:36 AM PST Always loved tech but never learned to program. If I learned at this old age, is there any chance of getting hired if I learned? [link] [comments]  |
| By far the best quick intro to React I've come accross Posted: 24 Dec 2020 04:49 PM PST I've tried to learn React a handful of times using the React docs, a few tutorials I found on reddit and misc youtube videos. I generally got the gist of the language but couldn't transfer it to a project. [link] [comments]  |
| When was your "aha" moment that made you realize you love programming? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 09:20 AM PST There was one point in my learning where I realized how much I actually love programming and making projects. I had self-taught myself web development for ~6 months and eventually joined a bootcamp (which I just recently graduated). In this bootcamp we had one project assigned to us where we had 4 days to learn a new technology on our own, and it had to be one they did not teach us (to prove we could teach ourselves, which I know is important in this industry). I ended up deciding I wanted to learn TypeScript, and I wanted to build a chat application with it using sockets. I had a dream of adding a translation feature to this app to make it stand out, but I thought that I wouldn't have enough time to learn and implement this. After about 2 days I had a pretty solid project already, and decided to just go for it. I ended up using Microsoft Azure translation; when I had two clients open, and entered a Russian message in one chat client, and saw it appear as English in another, this was my moment where I knew that I had fallen in love with programming. All of the bugs and frustrations were worth it, because I had proven to myself that I could actually make something interesting. The cherry on top was when I also made this application a PWA, so another technology I was able to learn on my own. Did anyone else have a moment like this? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Dec 2020 04:54 PM PST Here is the class: https://www.udacity.com/course/design-of-computer-programs--cs212 I've watched the first few videos looks fascinating, but not sure how valuable it still is as it's in python 2. Has anyone here taken this? What were your thoughts and would someone who hasn't taken an algorithms course benefit from it? Specifically would it help build problem solving skills?

| Posted: 24 Dec 2020 09:22 PM PST After being with python for more than a year, mainly working with web automation and automation in general, I was looking to expand to either C# or C++ (maybe both?). What would you consider to be the best when it comes to starting off? Is it pointless to learn both? And at the same time? [link] [comments]  |
| having trouble installing git to my mac. Posted: 24 Dec 2020 08:32 PM PST So I have installed homebrew, and I am trying to update git to the latest version. So I put brew install git into my terminal but I got a message saying , zsh: command not found: brew. How can I fix this? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 24 Dec 2020 11:40 PM PST I am self-learning web design and development in my free time and I aspire to be a full stack developer. I am an accounting student btw. For me, accounting is something that I wouldn't mind doing, but I am not interested in it. I once told my family to switch to CS course but they got really angry at me and told me if I switch course they wouldn't support my college anymore, because they value accountancy so much. If I continue my accountancy course, one thing I am sure of is I'll continuously learn programming and would just use my accounting degree as a backup job. However, I think it would be a waste of time and money of my family (i am studying at a private univ and is known as an expensive school for my country standard). What should I do, what would be the smarter choice? [link] [comments]  |
| Should I join a service based company? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 11:07 PM PST I recently got placed at cognizant technology solutions and the position is programmer analyst trainee. It's a service based company and I researched that it has mainly support projects for freshers. I also got to know that although the company is good but can't expect much growth in this company. Now my question is that should I join the company or prepare for other software (product based) company? [link] [comments]  |
| How to store data permanently through your app? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:57 PM PST Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing well <3 I have a couple of GUI personal projects in mind that require some kind of data storing (permanently) locally in the user's machine but I am a bit confused with what I've found when doing my research. My apps are the like of to-do's or stock management etc, do these kind of apps require SQL databases? I'd appreciate if anyone could help me with this, thanks <3 [link] [comments]  |
| What should be prioritized as a beginner self-teaching programmer? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:56 PM PST I am completely new to programming and am currently following Harvard's CS50 introductory course. My goal is to get away from my current physically demanding night job and get into software development for many of the same reasons most people probably want to get into it. From my research, the most important things to learn seem to be data structures, algorithms, and one or more language(s) of choice. From your more advanced point of view, what should be the prioritized points to focus on from zero knowledge to first software development job. [link] [comments]  |
| Is it worth trying or acting smarter? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 08:40 AM PST I am 35 years old, I work as a manual worker in the automotive industry. I don't have a degree, I left high school many years ago. I got the job because I have certain computer skills. I like working on Linux, Windows, Android ... I don't know if I have the capacity but I would like to improve my life. I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing physically demanding and dangerous jobs. Questions I have to ask - Is it too late for me to learn programming? Can you recommend me something similar that is in demand on the market right now (AWS for example)? Any advice would come in handy. [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a site similar to Freecodecamp.org that is more oriented towards Computer Engineering? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:02 PM PST Was wondering if there was anything like Freecodecamp.org, but that doesn't focus on Web Sites, pure Data, and JavaScript. I'm more of a Java/C++ kind of guy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| How to tell if a fast forward merge occured on github? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 09:47 PM PST If have a repo who's history looks like this. I Why does github not show that I made a merge in its graph? Or does it and I'm missing it? If it doesn't, is there a setting I can change so it does, or do I have to use [link] [comments]  |
| How to create a project "blueprint"? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 11:08 AM PST Hello Everyone! I am currently a Computer Science student with a basic but a pretty solid programming knowledge. However, one of the biggest downfalls of going to school for Computer Science is the lack of knowing how to properly plan and manage a project. Essentially, I am given an assignment to do, and I do it. It requires minimal planning and writing down ideas. Now I am at a point where I want to tackle a personal project. I already know there will be actual programming knowledge that I don't currently know that I need to research, but that really isn't much of a concern. What is concerning is that I have no idea how you are suppose to lay out your ideas and a blueprint so to speak since it all seems so overwhelming. Is there a standard way this is done across the industry? If there is, how do I go about learning that method? If there is no standard way, do you have any suggestions of how I should plan out my project? I will list my project idea below if it helps, including what I want it to be starting out and what I want it to evolve into as I learn more complex programming. Project IdeaEssentially, I want to create an AIO casino program that will consist of the following games to start with.
I am picking card games because I love the game logic behind them and the thoughtfulness that needs to go into making the games work. For starters I want the following basic features.
Features I want in the future.

| Are there any worthy CS courses on Udemy? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 09:40 PM PST I'm looking to learn more about CS. Does Udemy have any worthy courses in Computer Science? [link] [comments]  |
| How did you decide what code you want to learn? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 05:49 PM PST I'm a little torn on what I want to learn. How did you all decide what you wanted to do? Did you just jump and and hop around until you figured something out? Major projects you worked on? What was the drive for the one your chose? Looking for some inspiration/hoping that some of these answers will help me think differently and identify a direction for myself. [link] [comments]  |
| How do you identify typos in JS and PHP? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 12:42 PM PST In Java, typos, type errors, checked exceptions are caught and flagged at compilation and runtime exceptions will explode during execution. Python will stop and raise exceptions as occurred. Exception X, Y in line such and such. Fix or keep crashing. I am totally new to web development and see that from simple typos to general exceptions aren't flagged as JS and PHP run, so the script simply doesn't work (but won't crash) and the caller gets nothing returned. I make many coding mistakes from stupid typos to logical errors and wonder if there are ways to have errors blown at my face and crash the program. say How is it done in the real world? When something doesn't work as expected, how do you quickly narrow down the block to fix. How do you get PHP to crash and flag the exception codes. [link] [comments]  |
| Learn Embedded C (uC Programming) in 1 Tutorial Posted: 24 Dec 2020 09:21 PM PST I'd highly recommend this Tutorial for those who are interested in Embedded Systems and Microcontrollers Programming. Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bZg_GzUbHI [link] [comments]  |
| Book "Python Crash Course" for programming basics Posted: 24 Dec 2020 01:51 AM PST I can't recommend this book enough. It explains programming concepts beautifully and easy to understand. Doesn't matter if you don't mind to be python dev. Just use this book to learn how loops,functions work IN DEPTH. This book has a lot of excersises after every chapter that you need to figure out on your own. I think learning all your own and trying to unstuck when you stuck is best way of learning. Also try build something of your own using concepts you learned in a chapter. [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for a programming partner Posted: 24 Dec 2020 01:42 PM PST Looking for a programming partner so we can keep each other motivated and talk about any questions we may have. I'm currently learning C and would like to find someone learning C as well. Feel free to reach out even if you aren't learning C though! [link] [comments]  |
| [C++] This declaration with initialization makes my compiler upset. Any ideas why? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 08:56 PM PST My compiler is rejecting this code, saying I am unable to initialize

| Is there a way to run a program without explicitly opening up your IDE and running it? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 01:24 PM PST I am pretty new to coding so I'm sorry if this question doesn't make sense. What I'm trying to say is that I wrote this simple weighted grade calculator program in Java using JGRASP, and every time I want to use it, I have to physically open up JGRASP, open the program, run the program, input my values, and so on so forth. I was wondering if there is a way to code it so that I didn't have to go through that process. For example, I would click on a shortcut on my computer and then a simple window would pop up running through the code for me, and all that would show up in the window is what would have shown up in my compiler. It would be independent of JGRASP and my other programs. Is there a way to do that? [link] [comments]  |
| Questions about programmer demand and getting a job. Posted: 24 Dec 2020 09:22 AM PST I'm currently working in an unrelated field that I have a degree in but am looking to learn programming because I don't like my current job. The thing that's eating away at my motivation right now is the feeling is that I'll learn programming but still not be able to get a job. I have a few questions about what it's like getting a job in programming that will hopefully allay those fears. For starters, it feels unreal to me that I'll be able to get a job without a degree. I know that it's possible but what should my expectations be? For instance, why would a company bother with someone like me, when there are probably a bunch of other candidates with degrees? Even if I am able to demonstrate my aptitude, surely there are people who are just as skilled but with degrees. How can I make myself stand out? Another thing is that if anyone can learn to program and get a job, wouldn't there be an excess amount of programmers? It also seems like the job can be done by a few good programmers, but that's probably due to my lack of understanding of the industry. Why do some companies employ hundreds or thousands? Why would a company need to hire a bunch of entry level programmers, and what do they all do? For the majority of jobs, would I expect to be the sole programmer or am I more likely to work with a team? [link] [comments]  |
