Feel free to share updates on projects you're working on, brag about any major milestones you've hit, grouse about a challenge you've ran into recently... Any sort of "progress report" is fair game! A few requests:

| Today marks my 5 year anniversary of deciding to learn to code! Posted: 25 Dec 2020 07:57 PM PST Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays all! It's been a long journey but I can honestly say it's been the most rewarding choice I've made. I've been in my dev role for 4 years now and it feels surreal to think about how much I've learned and grown as a developer. If you're just starting out, stick with it. The little things slowly become second nature and you'll wonder how you ever thought they where difficult. [link] [comments]  |
| Creating Your Own Programming Language Posted: 25 Dec 2020 04:01 AM PST Dear Community, I am a CS Sophomore and was wondering how could I create my very own Programming Language. I would love if someone helped me out with all the nitty-gritties like how to start what all things to learn or any named resources that you might know? I feel guilty asking this (since it is an easy way out) but is there any course which teaches hands on creation of a Programming Language? I am not expecting to build a language completely from bare minimum but rather something which is in interpreted form (just how Python has backend run in C++). Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong on this...! My main purpose is to create a programming language that is not in English syntax and could help those not well versed in English take a first step towards computer literacy by learning in the native language on how to program. Help in any form is highly appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone interested in forming a beginner self taught motivation group? Posted: 25 Dec 2020 08:45 PM PST Hello! I've been teaching myself coding through freecode camp and currently fine tuning my HTML and learning CSS. It's really hard to stay focused and motivated sometimes admist everything going on. I was wondering if anyone was interested in forming a consistent reliable group dedicated to accountability, education, emotional support, resources, collaboration, mentor ship, etc. Basically a team of like minded people who want to help each other out. It would be awesome if it could be a mix of different level people but I especially would love to connect consistently with people who are beginning. [link] [comments]  |
| Do you lose the passion for programming after getting a job? Posted: 25 Dec 2020 10:35 PM PST You often hear "don't turn your hobby into a job, or you'll lose the passion", but I often seeing posts of people doing exactly that. It got me wondering, those of you who programme for a living, how has your view on programming changed since it became part of your job? Do you programme or learn programming in your spare time?

| I have a Deadline and I’m freaking out Posted: 25 Dec 2020 06:24 PM PST I just finished a 12 week full-stack bootcamp. In the last week we had a group project and because everyone else was scared of Laravel I took care of the back end, and joined the front end team well into the project, so only helped with little bits and pieces, and making sure everyone was using Git properly (another tool I'm comfortable with that the others were afraid of). We finished that project and graduated. We were then given a coding challenge to create a certain app that has to be completed by the 3rd of January. Our code base along with our app and CV then gets presented to potential employers. So a job may literally be on the line. Everything started well and I smashed through the backend in a couple of days. But now I'm dealing with React-Redux and I've realised how little of react I've taken in. After npm install react, I felt almost completely lost. The task feels monumental and I am freaking out. I don't know if I'll be able to achieve the MVP, let alone all the features I want to add to it. The instructor was clear, the more advanced features you add, the better. I've spent an entire day just revisiting the react and redux modules of my bootcamp, and only now can I make a super simple component. But now I need these skills to make some pretty complex components, and I haven't even mentioned styling. How do I cope with this panic? I started working on this project from day one. If I had an extra week I reckon I could do it. TLDR: despair due to me realising I really don't know React that well and it may cost me getting job interviews [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Dec 2020 07:37 PM PST To clarify I'm 37 , all my life I have struggled to do things that come easily to others , although I do tend to be able to see the bigger picture in things often with extreme ease . My understanding so far is that I need to learn C++ , Java and Python 🐍 Java was build specifically for the ability to write " Run once " at any point ? I assume this is to check a programmers coding errors ? Python 🐍 is easier for beginners as it's similar to the English language And C++ is the foundations of coding ? I'm not sure about that one yet ? Do you guys have any YouTube channels that are good for beginners? How much time would I need to commit ? I'm guessing there is no end . How much time would someone need to become a good coder ? And what are the struggles that you've encountered? Also I assume coding is evolving so are these things going to become obsolete ? Have the fundamentals changed over the recent years ? Do you need to keep up to date in the field to avoid becoming obsolete yourself ? When young hot shot programmers come into your work or where ever is there any distain ? Competition? dismissal? Or even fear of what they can do ? What do you worry about in the future ?

| Posted: 25 Dec 2020 07:31 PM PST Hey guys i've been working a project called the OMNI Remote Administration Suite. It allows you to create a "network" that connects all the devices running a server configured to that network. I could see it being pretty useful for people trying to administrate devices on large networks. Obviously there is already software out there that does this, but was just going to share and see if anyone has any thoughts or would like to join in on the development. It's still in development and has a lot of work that needs to be done, but so far it's working pretty smoothly. The link is a demo of the suite, i can upload the code to github if anyone is actually interested. Let me know what you think! OMNI Demo Video [link] [comments]  |
| Looking at others' code when making "clones" Posted: 25 Dec 2020 03:14 PM PST We all know that making "clones" of popular simple programs or websites is a good way to learn and practice aspects of coding--i.e. making your own version of Tetris or something to that effect. When doing this, there's always the option, of course, to look at someone else's Tetris code and see how they went about it. This can be particularly tempting to me when I'm close to getting my version to work how I want it to, but some detail is alluding me and it's not 100% there. (I'm not making Tetris, it's just an example). I imagine that we can learn a lot from looking at others' code, but we also learn a lot from problem-solving entirely on our own. There's no greater satisfaction than having our own light bulbs go off and fixing a problem or creating some feature. I don't suppose there's a single right answer to this question, but how do you decide to strike that balance when learning? If you're stuck on something, is it more productive to pore over someone else's code and gleam what you can, or to muscle through and insist on finding your own solution? I'm reluctant to "cave" too soon and look at others' ideas in fear that my own problem-solving abilities would be dulled by doing so too readily, but perhaps that's a hollow worry? I'm not talking about avoiding Google for anything and everything, I mean seeing fully -realized logic for the program you're trying to make from scratch. I welcome your thoughts!

| At about what level of Python would I need to be to create a bot? + Help with OOP Posted: 25 Dec 2020 08:02 PM PST At about what level of Python would I need to be to create a bot? It's only been a month since I started learning Python but I've been progressing really slow; I'm only at the OOP point right now and don't have a clear understanding of the new topic at that. While on that topic, can anyone please recommend me an article or a video to watch to strengthen my understanding of OOP? I was introduced to OOP about 3-4 days ago and it's still all a blur to me.

| Is it rational to focus on many things at once? Posted: 25 Dec 2020 08:30 PM PST I'm a third year undergraduate student in Computer Science, so I must prepare and do some research for my bachelor's thesis, apart from studying for my classes/exams. However, I also have to find an internship for this summer and I have nothing on my CV right now, so I must complete some side projects until then. My problem is that I feel that I focus on too many things related to programming. My classes are on various topics as usual (math + CS courses), I'm planning on writing my thesis on bioinformatics (so I must study something completely unrelated, molecular biology) and I want to do my side projects using several technologies (so I must learn extra programming languages and technologies, frameworks, how to build GUIs and so on). I really believe that all of these are too much, but I can't give up on anything. Summer internship is mandatory, bachelor's thesis is mandatory and I still have to get decent grades in my classes. I feel that I study too many topics at once which aren't even that related. I don't know how to distribute my time between differential equations, databases, Java & Springboot, molecular biology, Python/R, Flask/Django, HTML if I want to create a website app and so on. I do have hobbies as well. What should I do? [link] [comments]  |
| How to know what to search for in project based learning? Posted: 26 Dec 2020 12:03 AM PST Idk if this is the right way to format my question so mods please remove if you have too. I will let you know that I'm an absolute beginner. Like no exp in code. Didn't even write hello world. I tried watching a bunch of tutorials for JavaScript and HTML and css but I got the attention span of a person who can't pay attention to things (not my best analogy). I figured I should just try to build something like a personal website or a cool tool 😎. The specific tool I'm trying to make is to take an nba player's career stats and compare them too how well they play in a specific city. And you know what I got hyped for this tool. I spent 3 hours trying to make something before I finally gave up. I spent three hours trying to make a Navbar and in the end I couldn't even make a drop down button from bootstrap 4 (should I be using bootstrap 5). Anyways what I'm asking is: how do I know what tutorials to search? Cause watching a bunch of tutorials with no specific goal is killing me and my attention span. I was trying to start skipping HTML and css and going to straight to bootstrap but this nav bar is pissing me off cause I can't effing make it. [link] [comments]  |
| Need help planning my next Python project Posted: 25 Dec 2020 03:18 PM PST I want to create a program to help train my dog, by recording the results of our training sessions. Python is preferred. I'm not really sure where to start in terms of implementation as google searching leads me in many direction, tkinter, flask, and pygame to name a few. Using my phone I want to Record successful and failed attempts and the timestamp for each. Success button plays a training clicker sound. It's critical that there is very little delay btw button press and sound playback so I can precisely mark the dogs behavior. Run a timer on the first Success or via manual start. Maybe play a sound when done. Prompt me to enter notes about the session when the timer is up. Record all the results. I've learned to use Google sheets or Airtable but I'd prefer to learn now how to write results to a csv or more appropriate file type on my Raspberry Pi. [link] [comments]  |
| C program: How to read a sentence using if statement? Posted: 25 Dec 2020 08:11 PM PST include <stdio.h>int main () { char input[100]; } example C program code that I am working the problem is that even thought I enter must work in the input it still prints out nooo I tried using 'must work' in the if statement but an error pops out saying " ISO C++ forbids comparison between pointer and integer" please help [link] [comments]  |
| Recommendations for a book about programming and the different paths of programming Posted: 25 Dec 2020 08:02 PM PST Hello! I'm looking for book recommendations about different paths learning programming and computer science can lead to. Maybe different career paths within programming. I'm looking for a book that tells me what computer science and programming is, rather than learning programming, and what path I can take while learning programming, for example data science or machine learning, and what those are. For context, I'm an engineer, in a sort of computer industry, but may be considering changing careers, either completely to computer science related things, or just use computer science within my existing career. I've started to learn programming, know a few basics, can code a little in python, but I want to know what path to take. If that makes sense. [link] [comments]  |
| When should I start my first personal project Vs continue to study? Posted: 25 Dec 2020 07:58 PM PST I started to teach myself how to program at the beginning of lock downs, I recently just finished a book "iOS programming 7th edition The Big Nerd Ranch Guide" its about 500 pages and 24 chapters long. I was possibly going to start reading the "Develop in swift Fundamentals" by apple but wasn't sure if I wanted to (I know it wouldn't hurt) I noticed I can follow directions relatively easy and self study by reading the book, however I don't think I really understand programming very well, as in build my own. I have already built 5 smaller applications by following directions, so I understand *some* of the basics. My problem is I don't know What I should focus on next as far a skills go, I have an app in mind I want to build. I have seen many videos say "don't get caught in the tutorial phase, just build it" I don't want to get caught there, but I also don't want to jump the gun and bite off more than I can chew. for me the studying portion is very boring and I have more fun actually building something but I don't know if I'm skipping over some core fundamentals(I am aware this is the title of one of apples books, so I can see the comedic value in this) , but I also learn best by doing. TLDR: Should keep studying to build something in the future, or build out an app idea I have in mind looking up what I need as I go and develop skills that way? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Dec 2020 05:22 PM PST I just stumbled upon Phillip Lackner a week or so ago and I've got so say, he's explained concepts better than paid courses have. I'm currently going through his Kotlin tutorial and it's fantastic. After I noticed each video only has a thousand views or so, I felt obligated to share. I wish I started here. This is his "Kotlin Newbie to Pro playlist. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQkwcJG4YTCRSQikwhtoApYs9ij_Hc5Z9 [link] [comments]  |

| Javascript 2 dimensional arrays Posted: 25 Dec 2020 03:37 PM PST Hi, I just tried to make a very long (about 80.000 *2) 2 dimensional array in javascript using the form: x =[[a,b],[c,d],...]; It came back as undefined? What am I doing wrong? I found a website that said what I am doing was ok and a different one said multidimensional arrays or not allowed? Could anybody help? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Automating Chrome instead of using keyboard & mouse Posted: 25 Dec 2020 09:23 PM PST Hi, I'm looking for pointers in right direction, that is to say, the languages/cs branches I would need to understand to accomplish the following: What I want to do is store a given URL from the browser tab (it's in a .pdf format) in a variable, and then use the Chrome search to search for a specific string in the pdf (the webpage). If the string is found, either save the URL or download the pdf. Next, I want to modify the URL (ends with .pdf) by increasing the ending sequence by 1 (say the URL ends with a number sequence XXXX) and open that URL when I press a certain key. Essentially, what this would do is automate the process of altering the URL by using the mouse & keyboard with just the press of a key.

| Posted: 25 Dec 2020 09:06 PM PST Hi everyone I want to ask: Does anyone know any course that teaches python for finance only. I am not interested in Django and pygame and hoping there is a course that teaches python for finance only [link] [comments]  |
| [advice] Learn C++ via Skillshare? Posted: 25 Dec 2020 02:53 PM PST I've always wanted to learn C++. I want to be able to write freeware for the Linux community. The languages I know aren't right for that. I learned Visual BASIC 6 some years back, but it won't compile for Linux, and it's an obsolete language anyway. I also learned some REALbasic (now renamed Xojo), but that language isn't used much by the Linux community. I have a book on Python, but I don't like how it doesn't have you explicitly define a variable's data type. I'm used to being very detailed by choosing exactly the right data type for whatever variable I'm using. Python just has you define a variable and kind of let Python figure out its data type???? What? I don't like that. I notice lots of great GNU/Open Source software is written in C++. I honestly wish I had chosen C++ back when I went with Visual BASIC 6. At the time, VB6 was known for being easier and good for a first-time learner, so it made sense at the time, but I didn't know it would be obsoleted so soon after I learned it. I learned VB6 from a class at the local community college, which included a very good tutorial-based book by Diane Zak. That book took you by the hand and taught via solid concepts that built up your abilities piece by piece. Now that I have some programming experience, I may not absolutely need a tutorial-based approach, but on the other hand, I've been out of programming for quite a while now, since about 2003, so tutorials at least to start with may make sense. I'm curious if anyone here has used the Skillshare courses to learn a language like C++. It's not free, but it's affordable, and it would give me access to other topics. If I wanted to learn Java as well, I could. I'm just curious if the quality of the C++ tuts on Skillshare are good. If they're better than the free stuff on Youtube, it's probably worth it. Of course, something being a paid service does not automatically make it good. Other options would be to find a good tutorial-based book or find a community college class like I did before. I don't intend to go into programming professionally. My goal is to contribute quality applications to the Linux community, ones for the PC. At some point, I might wish to program for Android phones, but not right away. So if someone here knows about Skillshare's quality, or if there are other quality tutorials, I would be grateful for any feedback. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Why do u'll use linux for Programming! Posted: 25 Dec 2020 08:47 PM PST I am quite new to programming. I saw people prefer linux for Programming.. I didnt had good experience with ubuntu as it eats my battery faster than windows and some sudden stops (i have i5 8th gen 8gb ram).. Honestly i prefer windows with vscode and sublime text as it is more stable but maybe im wrong as i am only a student! Share Ur experiences! [link] [comments]  |
| C/C++ array populating with non integer values Posted: 25 Dec 2020 04:56 PM PST running VSCode on MacOS, clang++ compiler, wanted to better my programming skills so I started with simple array stuff. Main populates a 10 element array with values 0 -9: the output I get is: why am I getting the '\a', '\b', '\t' on the last 3 elements when the first 7 populated correctly? [link] [comments]  |
| Any place like leetcode/hackerrank to practice the questions in Cracking the Coding interview? Posted: 25 Dec 2020 08:32 PM PST Had some technical interviews coming up so I picked up this book with the goal of reading it from front to end. I can find problems similar on leetcode and playlist of problems that are roughly the same idea but not the same. I know it doesn't make much of the difference in the end as long as I'm doing similar problems, but I want to solve each question in the book. I can't feel like I "finished the book" from similar problems. I like leetcode and hackerrank for testcases, if I solve it on there, I can be satisfied that my solution is valid. Is there a compilation of questions on any of these website that is exactly in the book? [link] [comments]  |
