    What have you been working on recently? [April 03, 2021]

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 09:00 PM PDT

    What have you been working on recently? 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:

    1. If possible, include a link to your source code when sharing a project update. That way, others can learn from your work!

    2. If you've shared something, try commenting on at least one other update -- ask a question, give feedback, compliment something cool... We encourage discussion!

    3. If you don't consider yourself to be a beginner, include about how many years of experience you have.

    This thread will remained stickied over the weekend. Link to past threads here.

    Just signed an offer for my first Web Dev job!

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 10:59 AM PDT

    Hello everyone!

    After about 12 months of grinding away, I just signed an offer for an Associate Web Developer with a fairly sizable (albeit local) company.

    I come from a Theatre Arts/Teaching background so it was ultimately a big shift. I'm incredibly nervous, but never been more excited either. My current job is incredibly stressful and not fulfilling in the slightest, and I'll be getting about a 15k increase in salary with this job change.

    Thank you so much to this community for all its help throughout the process. If enough interest is garnered I may post a quick timeline of my learning and how I got here, but ultimately just like everyone else says - it was a lot of hard work and a bit of luck.

    Now, off to do my happy dance!

    ​

    EDIT 1

    Thanks for the silver! And I'll absolutely come back tonight and edit this post with an actual timeline of learning, and maybe some tips I've picked up along the way. There was a lot of sweat and tears, so if you are in that boat please know that it does come to an end!

    I have an interview with Facebook and now I regret not finishing my CS degree

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 06:18 PM PDT

    So I've got an interview coming up on the 12th with Facebook for an Android engineer position (I've done some Android work in years past but nothing recent yet they reached out to me to see if I would be interested in applying) and I went on their recruiting portal to work on the practice coding problems they give and I've never felt this stupid in my life. The problems all revolve around algorithms and data structures which I have no real background in and I'm lucky if I can even understand the questions because I can't with most of them. I went for a CS degree in the mid 2000s before having to drop out but never had the class for learning that stuff and now I feel completely overwhelmed and clueless when being faced with it. I've been doing some dev work off and on over the years and only last year did I start working to make it my career and these coding tests make me feel like I know absolutely nothing. How they want me to be able to do 2 of them in like 30 minutes I have no idea! I have done coding questions for interviews from companies ranging from Microsoft to Dell and they were child's play compared to this stuff! I'm pretty sure you need to be Einstein to figure this stuff out! For the first time since I dropped out, I feel like I actually need to go back and finish getting my degree or at least take that class.

    If anybody thinks they can talk me out of texting the recruiter I've been dealing with and bowing out and apologizing for wasting their time, give it your best shot!

    TLDR: Facebook coding tests are impossibly hard and I don't even feel smart enough to be a janitor there.

    what are the alternatives to the " 100 days of code-the complete python pro bootcamp"?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 08:52 PM PDT

    on Udemy, there is a python boot camp, mentioned in the title, that makes you do progressively more difficult projects everyday to master python. Its expensive, so im trying to look for alternatives that are either cheaper or free. Ive learned python in the past, but have had difficulty finding good resources that let me practice in a stepwise manner and master the individual concepts and methods of pythons. What would be a good place to go?

    I have tried to make simple chat app, critique my design decisions please.

    Posted: 03 Apr 2021 01:10 AM PDT

    Hey...

    I have made a premitive messenger using nodejs. It remembers client with the help of an unique id. I have used a npm package to generate unique ids. I have stored those ids in a mongodb database. When a clients open homepage an unique id is generated and stored into the database. The user has the option to paste another id and use it message other person that is online with same id.

    I could have used sockets but I still haven't learned socket concept. So the client pings server with its id every second.

    So, we would have two clients with same id. One is sender and other receiver. This info is also pinged every second. The server checks if that id (sender or receiver) has andy pending message and sends it in response or it sends null string.

    I have used global array to store messages and after sending them I overwrite those arrays with empty arrays.

    Is it a good idea to store data such as messages in global variables?

    What are the consiquences of pinging server every second to receive messages?

    How messengers worked before web-sockets were added like old facebook messenger?

    Building APIs

    Posted: 03 Apr 2021 01:14 AM PDT

    I am working on flask right now and building the backend that listens to certain HTTP endpoints and responds back to the client with data. Is this an example of building a REST API? The app that I am listens to HTTP end points like /registerForm for example, gets the form data, adds to the database, and responds back to client.

    How to make code in JS case insensitive?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 06:51 PM PDT

    Ok so here's an example of my code: if (message.content.startsWith("k beg")) {

    Basically, the code will work but the user must type in exactly "k beg" all lowercase. I want the code to be case insensitive (for example (K bEg), AND the message content should be just the input, so "k beg" shouldn't trigger when it's in the middle of a sentence.

    One of my major points though is to make it case insensitive, so if anyone can help with just that, I'll be happy. Thank you.

    Any one here who struggles with math?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 05:35 PM PDT

    Im a high school junior looking to go into programming as a career, but I just feel like Im not cut out for it sometimes.

    Like, I understand the coding part, which makes up the bulk of the career (obviously), but just the thought of math makes me feel like Ill just disappoint myself, waste me and my teachers time, and my parents money.

    How do I make a launchable program on Windows? Like a full standalone application with GUI and installer

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 06:46 PM PDT

    I can write and compile single files so far, but I don't know how to convert a standalone script/program file into an full program with an interactive GUI and installer for dependencies and stuff. What should I be searching for?

    Preferrably something that's doable in Python/C/Java

    Can building an app on the side while doing my day job get me a developer job?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2021 12:13 AM PDT

    Right now I'm a marketing specialist and I hate it. I want to be a developer because building the website for my parents restaurant was super fun to me, although I use WordPress.

    I work a typical 9-5, 40 hr a week job. Usually when I finish I do a whole lot of useless shit like play video games or watch TV. I'm now motivated to become a developer and I have an app idea I'd like to build.

    Second question: do I need to learn everything about programming before I start building an app? Or should just learn while I build?

    Help with making python print a sentence from a sentence bank

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 07:50 PM PDT

    I am making a discord bot that prints a sentence from a list of a txt file. I got a script working to pull a random word, but I don't know how to make python recognize a full sentence. Each sentence is separated by a period and indent in the file btw. Also this is my code:

    with open("ozair quote.txt", "r") as file:
    data = file.read()
    words = data.split()

    word_pos = random.randint(0, len(words)-1)
    print(words[word_pos])

    How do I test if my Node.js script has correctly written a CSV file?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 11:18 PM PDT

    I've written a Node.Js script that concats CSV files into a CSV file called combined.csv (with data-forge) - and I want to test through Mocha; however, I've searched far and wide to test if my Node.Js script has written the combined.csv file to my folder. I don't know how to capture only that one output and confirm with Mocha that the output is indeed a CSV file.

    csv-compiler.js script:

    #! /usr/local/bin/node const dataForge = require('data-forge'); const dataForgeFs = require('data-forge-fs'); const path = require('path'); const combiner = () => { const fileNames = process.argv.slice(2); const readFiles = []; fileNames.forEach(fileName => { let df = dataForgeFs.readFileSync(fileName).parseCSV(); let baseName = path.posix.basename(fileName); let filenameSeries = new dataForge.Series([baseName]); let newDf = df.withSeries('filename', filenameSeries); let newSeries = newDf.deflate(row => row.filename); newSeries = newSeries.select(value => value = baseName); newDf = newDf.withSeries({ filename: newSeries }); readFiles.push(newDf); }); const dataFrameConcat = dataForge.DataFrame.concat(readFiles); dataFrameConcat.asCSV().writeFileSync('combined.csv'); }; combiner(); const used = process.memoryUsage().heapUsed / 1024 / 1024; console.log(`The script uses approximately ${Math.round(used * 100) / 100} MB`);

    csv-compiler.spec.js test file for mocha:

    const assert = require('chai').assert; const combiner = require('../csv-combiner.js'); const dataForge = require('data-forge'); const dataForgeFs = require('data-forge-fs'); describe('CSV-Combiner', function () { it('Should write a combined.csv file', () => { // No Idea how to test a Command Line output }); });

    Those who have gotten a CS degree or similar, how different is professional programming from academic programming?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 09:02 AM PDT

    I'm in the latter half of my college career. As a computer science major I'm wondering, how much of will we learn actually translate to an actual job? Especially considering the types of projects professionals work on compared to nitpicky CS homework assignments.

    How hard is it to create an app when you know nothing about programming?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 06:35 AM PDT

    I have a really good idea for an app that is unlike any other on the market but I know nothing about programming and don't have the money to hire someone to make it. I'm a fast learner and relatively smart but I don't know how difficult creating an app truly is. I'm confident in my idea though and I would be willing to dedicate the time to learning.

    As an aspiring freelancer, how can I learn the parts of the job that are not about programming itself like communicating with clients?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 11:28 AM PDT

    My programming skills are good enough for small and medium projects static websites and simple dynamic websites but I have no idea how to learn to ask the right questions, explain the process to the client and guide them to manage the website/app.

    Should I just find my first client and offer a reduced price and learn by doing or is there a better way?

    [Automata] online store logic

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 09:07 PM PDT

    This is the description for a state diagram and this is the actual state diagram.

    Regarding the store's state diagram, are the "ship" actions just the store deciding when they want to ship the item like if they feel comfortable shipping when they receive the check or would they feel more comfortable when they actually receive money from the check?

    edit For the bank diagram, what does the "redeem" mean the same thing as the store diagram?

    Any courses out there that teach you how to be a software engineer as to just teaching you syntax of a language?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 08:46 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I'm studying programming, which I get, but are there any courses out there that teach software engineering as a profession? As in the day to day of a software engineer. I think that would give people a more realistic picture other than someone who codes all day long and doesn't do anything else.

    Is ths possible?
