| "How to survive our first year as a Software Engineer?" checklist from my personal notes Posted: 02 Jan 2021 12:04 PM PST Hey! I got a bachelor's degree last year. A few months later, I started a job at an e-commerce company as a Software Engineer. Today is my 365th day at this company. So I decided to write an article that includes my own notes, advices and opinions for new grads who have never had professional experience in companies before. I have been a good note-taker for three years. I'm taking notes of what I think is important. And a few months or years later, I can able to re-check them again to remember. Of course, I took a lot of notes in my first year. I know the first year will have an important milestone for everyone. I wrote the article in English, which is not my native language, so that it can reach more people. (I want to apologize in advance for any incorrect grammar usages.) Feel free to write here that expressions you think in wrong or different way. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 06:49 PM PST Hi, I'm a complete beginner, I want to make a script that downloads my assignments from the school domain and for it to run every hour automatically. What prequisites would I need for this to happen? [link] [comments]  |
| Did I mess up by applying for a job too soon? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 01:06 PM PST Over the past couple of months I decided to learn front end development. When I got into a place where I felt a bit comfortable, (I could make basic projects like to do lists, calculators, etc with basic javascript) I applied for a front end intern position. I never expected to get it, I applied just to see how it was like. Then I got a call, did an interview with the company (non technical, they asked me basic questions like where do you see yourself in 5 years, what motivates you) and I felt like I failed it because it was my first interview ever and I was very nervous. But surprisingly they called me back for another interview, a technical one. I was very honest about my experience level, and the questions were quite easy. I've seen some posts in other programming subs saying how annoying it was for people who barely know anything getting a job and how much of an inconvenience it is for the company. They're right so I was very honest about my answers and experience level. I got the job, but I feel like I really shouldn't have. I never planned to work so soon and I'm very nervous. I'm supposed to be resuming soon and I'm having second thoughts. I think they made a mistake in hiring me, I don't know that much. I'm worried they would realize that and fire me. What do you guys think I should do? [link] [comments]  |
| Need coding study advice: How to pace oneself? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 07:03 PM PST I'm learning Javascript on my own through the Odin Project. I was doing fairly well for four months, and then I dropped off because I got stuck on the AI for tic-tae-toe and then five months passed in the blink of an eye. In that same time though, I made a lot of progress on (edit: learning another language through) Duolingo. I think that's because Duolingo is pretty regimented. I could set a goal for two hours or 200 points each day. Coding (especially Odin project) is particularly free form. I can tear through three lessons in a day and then spend one week trying to understand a paragraph. Do you have any suggestions on to pace oneself? [link] [comments]  |
| Need suggestions about self-taught android development and jobs. Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:42 PM PST I am a business student in a south-Asian country (not India). I don't have any interest in business or business-related job, or government job, and want to pursue a career in the development field.
Apart from the pressure of the study, I am also doing a part-time job. And when I am free I practice programming. I have 2 years in hand, before which I have to complete learning and get a job, considering my family and other issues like marriage. Do you guys have any suggestion for me-
Thank you in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Do you keep notes when studying? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 04:02 PM PST Hi I'm new to coding and following The Odin Project and FreeCodeCamp for learning. I understand that project based is generally the best way to learn but aside from that do you guys have a notebook near you or use notetaking apps like Notion or Evernote? Whiteboard? Is documentation enough or should I not bother keeping notes? [link] [comments]  |
| What are your opinions on using flutter to create an iOS app instead of using swift or c? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:30 PM PST Is it harder than using swift or C? Is the language easy to learn? Isn't it more worth it to know learn flutter just because it can be used for both iOS and Android apps? Right now I'm trying to figure out what language I should learn, I also only have a windows computer, but I really want to develop iOS apps. If flutter is a viable option I think it makes the most sense to learn that. I also managed to set up a virtual machine for a Mac on my windows computer, though it's not very great [link] [comments]  |
| Good audiobooks that talk about interesting stuff in CS or the logical thinking aspect ? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 07:31 AM PST This is for me while at work. Anything that's worth it in the field in general. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:06 AM PST I started DSA a while back and it is driving me nuts! My method has a high time complexity and I am not able to understand the solution properly. How do you know when to use binary search for sorting or finding the gcd of an array to split it into groups ( *I just took some examples. Don't take them seriously*) ? Like. how do you know when and what to use? These methods are very difficult for me to understand. I tried referring to geeksforgeeks.org and I can't understand jack. I am able to understand the first method but the remaining methods are difficult to understand. I tried to trace the code step by step but still couldn't understand it. My main problem is I am not able to read or understand other's solution properly and not able to find unique and different ways to solve a problem. Sometimes I feel like I should just give up.

| Complete Flutter Course w/ 10+ projects Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:07 PM PST I am currently uploading a Flutter course on YouTube after 3 years of Flutter programming experience. Interested people may check out the tutorial here PS - Just telling people of my effort, not self-promoting. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:05 PM PST Hi, I'm an undergrad student currently working toward eventually applying to PA school. I want to use some of my free time to build my resume. I don't have much experience since I'm young and it's hard for employers to take me seriously I guess. I'd like to see what coding is like. What apps, websites, or YouTube channels do you recommend I go on? I want to teach myself how to code and would appreciate recommendations. Are there any decent online courses I could take that are good? [link] [comments]  |
| Learning Java in Uni Only from a Textbook..help! Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:47 PM PST I'm learning Java and I'm finding it very difficult. It's completely different than anything I've ever done. I have a bachelor's degree in chemistry, a bachelor's degree in nursing and I went halfway through my master's for my nurse practitioner's degree before COVID hit and personal circumstances experiencing many losses hit hard and made me change fields. I'm now perusing a third undergrad degree in IT with a focus in programming. Java isn't like the human body or chemistry; it's not memorization. I'm not used to this at all! This mindset is totally different. The college I'm attending only offers Java in three stages of courses. I finished the first this fall. It was awful; it was completely online (all courses are and will be until who knows when) and the only resource we had was the textbook. When I used YouTube or outside sources that showed me something that wasn't in the book, the professor took points off because I used code that 'wasn't taught in the textbook'. I learned maybe the first 4 of 8 chapters. I've hired a tutor for $50/hr to teach me basically the entire semester this Dec 11th-Jan 11th winter break but I'm still so nervous to start back in a week and pick up where we left off at Object Oriented Programming that I still don't feel ready and I don't know what to do. My tutor has been a tremendous help and I've learned so much. Maybe it's just nerves but I feel like I just haven't been 'taught' and I wasted an entire semester where I could have been learning correctly instead of running around like a chicken with my head cut off. The professor's quizzes for the fall semester were a complete joke. They were simply 'copy this code into Eclipse and see if you get the same output as me then take a screenshot and upload it'. It was an easy 'A' that I didn't earn. Maybe I'm not cut out for this, I don't know. I'm so scared and nervous, but I'm literally in tears and I don't know where to turn too. I have a wonderful connection to someone who reached out to me (first) on LinkedIn who is the Admin for all three of IT departments of the hospital I used to work at and offered me a position. I told him I wasn't ready that I was only in my first semester and he said the position will be there open and ready when I am which was very sweet. And I've never met him! So promising, but I'm so scared of school right now! I just need to get passed this and learn Java... Any advise whatsoever I would be eternally grateful for. Outside resources to practice, learn, motivational videos, YouTube channels etc. [link] [comments]  |
| Are require statements accessible in routes? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:40 PM PST For example if I require(express) in my main app, could I use it in a route? And it doesn't work both ways correct, as in if I require something in my route it's not necessarily available in my main server file? [link] [comments]  |
| Am I really fit to become a developer? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:05 AM PST The way I have to learn new technologies all the time is kind of tiresome. Maybe I am a slow learner, but It seems that I have to learn new tech too often. I just wanna apply come up with algorithms and build stuff. The reason I am sayting these things is because I am still in college and have gotten pretty comfortable with android development using android studio and java, all this in a class I've taken last semester. Now I have a team project for another class to build an android app and they all want to do it in react native + firebase and I am pretty bummed. I don't even know javascript. And I figured it's gonna be like that in a work eviroment, isn't it. Should I just try to get job that focuses on low level programming where probably won't appear a new framework every few months? I don't feel like I'm smart enough for that. And high level languages have their charm too. How do you guys deal with it? Do you enjoy learning every new technology? Do you just shut up and do your job? Or real work is nothing like what I imagine it to be with learning new frameworks and libraries all the time. I just want to get good at a certain thing and not be forced to switch to another while I'm still learning [link] [comments]  |
| Pages and pages of C code on paper... Posted: 02 Jan 2021 05:07 PM PST So, my next exam is coming and it's all about coding C functions of void or boolean type (this means that I need to use a lot of pointers). The exam consist of 3 exercise about arrayList (Circular buffer, list made of array and index and linked list with pointers) mixed and matched with a specific sorting algorithm (quick, merge, bubble, selection) that needs to be done on paper and within 1 hour. I'm starting to wonder if this is a normal thing because it's so hard to get the function right without compiling it or debug it. Also looks like all our exams are like this and it's making me want to quit. Have you guys any suggestion about how to deal with this kind of problem? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:49 PM PST I started CS50 recently and I basically have to make a game or story with Scratch. I've played around with the website for about 3-4 hours now and I still have no idea what I'm doing and its getting kind of frustrating. What is this supposed to teach me aside from I'm stupid? Like I have so many questions like how do I make it so that something happens when a character touches another character, how do I make it so that it switches backgrounds, how do I make something disappear or "die", how do I reset the characters back to normal after the test, etc. Is this something I'm supposed to figure out on my own? I'm completely clueless with this scratch approach and I feel like I could do better if it was something else... I decided to go with a very simplistic idea for a game just so I start somewhere, you're basically the cat and you're running away from a human. I have the human say a countdown from 3 before she starts chasing. What I've done so far is I somewhat have the concept figured out, probably very poorly, I just don't know how to implement... end results?? [link] [comments]  |
| Do you enjoy your life as a software engineer or any tech related field? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:48 PM PST Hey I'm 17 and currently planning to go to university for computer science. I really enjoy coding and solving problems and learning all I can know in the field. I think I can stare a a screen for 8 hours and I've already prepared myself to live a healthy live so I don't become overweight( I workout a lot). However I'm scared that eventually when I transition into a more professional role I'll hate my job and regret my decision. Im sure it's just nerves that every individual my age goes though but do any of you guys generally enjoy your lives in the tech industry? I really want to make sure I'm making the correct decision. I don't want to live a boring lifestyle, not that's anything wrong with that. [link] [comments]  |
| What should I learn to build this virtual assistant desktop application? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:39 PM PST Hello! I'm kind of new to programming. I took a class in high school and am self teaching Python in my spare time. I wanted to create a virtual assistant desktop application and I watched a few YouTube videos but something they've been missing is that I want a on screen character component. I'd like to have a butler for example that moves around and looks at you when you ask a question, is animated, etc. My question is, how do I go about doing this? I was thinking I can create an animate video of the butler and use Tkinter or Kivy to play the video on loop and execute another video when the assistant is asked a question but not sure that this is the best way to go about doing this. I would want a seamless transition between the video files if I were to do this and I'm not sure this way is viable. This app is very similar to what I'd like to make but for the desktop (apologies if it's a bit cringe). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd8cKgJqKSg&ab_channel=TimothyL Thank you in advance for any helpful tips!

| Reading doc/technical books: Worth or no? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:33 PM PST Hi guys, I've started to learn python yesterday and I got two opposite advices on the internet. 1. I should read the doc of the language I'm learning or a good technical book to understand the concepts. 2. The complete opposite because this can be "a waste of time" and I should just read/look for specific things when really needed. So, it's like advice 1 is more a kind of "try to absorb all the stuff"? and 2 is just "go on, when you get stuck you search for it to figure out why and then go back to code" Both advices from good and experienced devs, so what do you guys think?

| Is 2D array just normal array? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:29 AM PST 2D array is just normal array that holds pointers for other arrays in group and uses more bytes because it points to arrays not basic variables. Is my understanding right or wrong? [link] [comments]  |
| what are some good sites like codecademy? i mean like interactive editor and free Posted: 02 Jan 2021 02:20 PM PST I have been looking for sites like it because python 3 isn't free on it and I really want to learn it and nothing seems to have an editor like it. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 12:42 PM PST Really want to get into coding but i dont know where to start, i want to try using Unity. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:13 PM PST I'm doing a computer science course at a Uni next year and just wondering what I may be in for. How do universities introduce you to programming and what is the course usually called. From scanning the course list at my uni it doesn't really say "introduction to programming".
