| Posted: 20 May 2021 02:43 PM PDT Hello Reddit. I am a 31 year old in the United States. I recently resigned from my job in law enforcement (it just wasn't right for me) to pursue a career in web development. Originally, I thought that I could teach myself everything that I needed to know using tutorials. I started with the freecodecamp and codecademy to learn the HTML/CSS/JavaScript that I thought I needed. I started watching Udemy videos to learn more but I feel like I can't focus and learn what I need to learn. I quickly found out that I lack the discipline to teach myself. I've now wasted 5 months (I resigned on Jan. 1st) and know basic HTML/CSS(bootstrap/flexbox) and Javascript (for loops etc). I feel the structure of a bootcamp would be good for me. Has anyone attended a bootcamp, any feedback would be great! Looking at appAcademy or Thinkful. (Or if anyone wants to mentor me :)) Thanks for your time! TL;DR: Tell me what to do with my life.

| How to Plan and Build a Project - Building It Posted: 20 May 2021 12:53 AM PDT Hi everyone, I recorded myself building the project from How to Plan and Build a Project and turned it into a free full stack cloud developer mini-course so you can learn how to build a project from idea to web application to database to cloud from scratch. The recordings start from the idea in the post above, to how to set up the development environment, to building the full stack project (front-end, backend, database, dev ops), with the resulting MVP (minimum viable product) deployed to the cloud on Google Cloud Platform. The mini-course is intended for beginners to mid-level and you can follow along with the videos and text instructions for each lesson and build it yourself for your own portfolio. This is probably something you can build over a weekend even if you have little to no programming experience. Here is the link to the mini-course: https://fullstackclouddeveloper.com/course/full-stack-cloud-developer-mini-course/ Here is the link to the finished project: https://fullstackclouddeveloper.com/ Here is the link to the diagram of what we will build from the original post above: Here is the GitHub repo for all of it (the project and the course): https://github.com/fullstackclouddeveloper/landing-page-service Here is the list of videos: Contents
The project stack includes: Front End
Backend
DevOps
I hope this helps anyone wanting to learn. I will continue to add content to this and turn it into a project based full course that will teach you how to build projects using industry best practices as well as programming so you learn how to build full stack projects from idea to done. I will also teach this mini course live over zoom for about 40 minutes (zoom limit) each day it takes to get through it. We might use two zoom sessions for each day because 40 minutes is kind of short. Please leave a comment in the post and sign up below if you are interested in this. Signing up for notifications on the sample project page will also register you for notifications when zoom meetings happen with meeting links and when new videos and courses are added: https://fullstackclouddeveloper.com. EDIT: Here is a YouTube playlist for this. I will add descriptions to this sometime today: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQpnyZpvh8xXQv8_VEilQt-KYzUcCksVz [link] [comments]  |
| Attending a full-time coding bootcamp and feel like after this is over I will quit programming Posted: 20 May 2021 09:27 PM PDT Edit: when I say it's like a full-time job I only mean it's 8 hours per weekday, I don't mean by the workload or anything, sorry for confusing. I'm currently on week 3 of a government-funded 9-week bootcamp so called <<Java Developer>> with guaranteed 3 months of internship afterwards. I'm 2 months away from graduating college so I thought this was an once-in-a-lifetime chance for me. Since it's government-funded, there is a selection process, and you need to do a multiple choice test on web dev and DBMS, a coding exercise on algorithms with Java/C, and an interview. Despite being an almost-complete noob with only basic Python and HTML, I somehow got in. I was a second batch so the first batch already learned for 1 week. Basically the bootcamp is like a full-time job with two 4-hour sessions with 1-hour break in between. I honestly thought it was only Java but was shocked to find out that it was divided into 3 parts: Core Java, Algorithm and DBMS. Thing is Algorithm is in C++ which I never encountered before, and they said nothing in the orientation about C++. The teacher who teaches C++ don't teach us concepts and just gives us exercise and explain the logic (Still i don't understand). During the session we don't have short breaks, and I cannot even focus on my one-hour class at uni let alone a four-hour coding Zoom session. Normally before when I have problem with codes I can enthusiastically search and debug. But now after 8 hours every weekday staring at the screen I have no mental energy left to do research on Java and C++. We also have daily tests and except for when I find the exact tutorial on that problem, I will score miserably low. The score will determine how prioritized you are when it comes to choosing companies to do internship. Honestly dealing with two new languages are tiring enough but having low score demotivates me. I feel like I will drop out even before choosing places to intern. Now I can't because I will have to pay around one grand. I feel like if I actually tried harder it will turn out better but I honestly feel like shit every second of the day ever since this bootcamp. Sorry if this sounds like a whole bunch of excuses and if you said I'm not meant to be a programmer it's okay because i'm on the verge of believing it. [link] [comments]  |
| Best fintech/blockchain courses? Posted: 20 May 2021 06:50 PM PDT Looking for a good course on blockchain/fintech and cryptocurrency. I already have experience with a modern OO language and I want to learn more about blockchain development. [link] [comments]  |
| Android library for converting files to epub and mobi format Posted: 20 May 2021 06:31 PM PDT |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 08:13 PM PDT Sometimes I feel like getting help online is cheating and makes me think that I won't really learn anything. I like to overcome the challenge but sometimes I just can't seem to find the solution no matter how hard I try. Is there no hope for me? Can some people give some input on their experience when they are stuck on a problem? [link] [comments]  |
| Accidentally git rm’d my scss files and committed the changes Posted: 20 May 2021 11:37 PM PDT I committed scss files accidentally because I forgot to put them in the .gitignore file. So In an attempt to undo the committed scss files, I did some googling and found someone in a similar situation to mine and someone said to do the "git rm scss" command. 2 fatal errors caused it not to work so I went up one level and typed "git rm src/scss" that worked and I once again committed the changes. What I didn't realize is it deleted my scss files entirely. Is there any way to get them back? [link] [comments]  |
| Setup Web Development Environment Ubuntu Posted: 20 May 2021 11:35 PM PDT Ubuntu is a great choice for developers just getting started on Linux and seasoned Linux users alike. In this playlist, you will learn about setting up Ubuntu for web development. Every developer will have slightly different requirements, workflows and preferences, this video playlist is meant as a general guide to the setup and tools required for a development environment on Ubuntu. 🔗 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1TrjkMQ8UbUsk2YD-gJ_OfJWi_pIJ5BV [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 05:21 PM PDT I'm trying to put together a well-rounded portfolio and start applying for a first job soon. So far I've built: 1. numerous CLI projects in Python and JS (and a fair amount of leetcode/codewars stuff), 2. some work-oriented Google Sheets API scripts, 3. live Discord chat bot in Python using discord.py and another website's API (w/ postgres for DB and deployed on heroku), 4. assembler for the nand2tetris course (done both in Python and in C - huge learning task to do this in C! but I love the cs stuff), and 5. some open source contributions to a more substantial website which is in Ruby. All this is on Github and I use their Issues and Projects to organize my workflow, making PRs to myself as version control. Current idea for my next project is a webapp doing interactive data visualization, pulling data from some gaming sites and giving users various options for charts, displays, filters, etc to explore that data. I haven't learned any frameworks like Django etc yet since I am more interested in lower-level and backend stuff, which is why I think this will be a good fit to expand my skills. Any thoughts or alternative ideas considering where I'm at and relative hireability? Would it actually make more sense to stay more focused in the areas I've done so far rather than go for more breadth? Web dev seems so important overall I feel like I should get my arms around it.

| Struggling Using Modulo Division In My Code Posted: 20 May 2021 10:11 PM PDT Good morning! So I am new to C++ and I had an assignment that was to figure out how much change you will get back on a purchase and what bills you will get. I got it working but I did not use modulo division. I attempted but I could not get it to work properly. https://codeshare.io/2pKjqX This is my code. I used Visual Studio 2019 :) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 04:14 PM PDT It seems like almost every websocket interface I've come across has the data formatted in JSON, but is this required? Or can ANY kind of data be used over websockets? Can I do XML data over websockets? Plaintext? What about binary data? [link] [comments]  |

| Try to do a project if you haven’t done it before, it’s rewarding! Posted: 20 May 2021 04:12 PM PDT TL;DR: If you haven't started making your own projects yet, try to get started. In addition to having something to show, it will motivate you to study more. Really, one of the things that I find most difficult for a beginner in the programming area is getting rid of that safe zone of programming tutorials. You never really feel ready to start doing something yourself and prefer to do a code along project. I'm not saying that studying programming is not important, quite the opposite, I believe it's as important as practice. What I think it happens is that we often think that we don't know enough to do something on our own. It doesn't have to be something complex. Actually, it would be good to start with something just above your level, but not too much. It has to be something with some functions that you already have an idea of how to do and others that you'll have to research. You can get frustrated after trying to solve a problem over and over, but when you get it to work, it feels really good. I would say that after finishing my first project, I'm much more willing to start working on another one. If you're interested in studying programming, you'll certainly enjoy doing a project. Don't think that you're not prepared, we often underestimate how much we think we know. Plan a small project and start working on it. Search the internet for small projects in your programming language or framework and use them as inspiration. Whenever you have a question, search Google and before you copy and paste code, understand at least what's being done. I'm sure that you'll consolidate what you've learned and also learn new things in the process. Give it a try and good luck with your first project! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 06:23 PM PDT I don't necessarily learn well from watching the videos that are required of courses. I was taking a few through Udemy and Coursera and I never committed to learning everything that was included in the videos. I would stop paying attention because let's be honest most are monotone videos of people coding and expecting you to follow everything they say. Any advice is appreciated! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 20 May 2021 06:19 PM PDT I just completed the a Python course on FreeCodeCamp. It was interesting and I claimed the certificate but now I'm wondering if it's worth anything at all to add to my CV or LinkedIn profile. Any insight? [link] [comments]  |
| Is this place sketchy(technical interview) Posted: 20 May 2021 09:49 AM PDT So after interviewing with a company, they moved me forward to a technical interview, except it's working directly on their program. They told me that I would be compensated 300 and have 72 hours to build a whole angular serverless framework app for them. I recently completed. But now they are saying they won't pay me for my work until after the code review. It weirded me out so I looked them up and I see no Glassdoor reviews on any developers and they told me they had all their work outsourced to contract developers overseas. I have a feeling they will just take my submission, no pay, and I'll never hear back. On top of that, the main person in interviewing has no knowledge of any programming structure and the whole feel is off. EDIT: I had already submitted the code and I had messaged them about payment and that's when they informed me of payment after we had done a code review. They messaged back saying my program "didn't meet their requirements" (it did, I hit all points flawlessly and run dozens of tests) and will be paying me 300 for it. 300$ for what felt like a 2500$ program. Lesson learned for sure [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 20 May 2021 11:22 PM PDT I need a chair, so I can program for long hours. See, this post is about my road to learning how to code, and I would like some chair suggestions. I currently have a GTRacing, but it keeps sliding down. I was thinking of the Secretlab OMEGA, but I would like to get some suggestions if you don't mind. Remember, this chair is asked in order to learn how to program. Which means this post is allowed and shouldn't be removed. You can DM me if you're not comfortable sharing your recommendation. I'll let you know right now, I'm not going to use your affiliate link! [link] [comments]  |
| Pygame - How to change sprite color in collision Posted: 20 May 2021 07:22 PM PDT I am working on a pixel art tool. As of now, I am working on a feature where the pixel changes color if clicked on. My code has a mouse class and a group of pixel classes. Whenever the mouse is clicked and there is a collision, I want the selected pixels to change color. However, I am not able to access each collided pixel, even though I thought I could because they are simply elements in a list. Here is my code: Pixel Class Collision Detection However, on the last line, the error "Unresolved attribute reference 'change_color' for class 'Sprite' " occurs. I believe it occurs because the element is not actually a pixel, but a generic sprite object. If so, is there any way I could fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated :) [link] [comments]  |
| Helpful learning and analogies for research scientist learning web multiplayer game coding Posted: 20 May 2021 11:08 PM PDT Can I get some recommendations for learning resources specific to someone who can code science and math experiments but who doesn't know his foot from his elbow yet in coding for web? I don't want something beginner and handholdy about javascript or html syntax, but I do want something handholdy about how to ship the product, best practices and stack combination choices, how to set up the nodejs backend, and so on. I'm a bit perplexed by the amount of choices that to me appear to accomplish similar goals, as well as highly marketed extras that "make things easier". Of course it's true to some degree, but I have no sense of which things to hit up and which things to skip because they aren't standard enough. But I know I would have the same thought looking at the machine learning space without having years and years of applied experience haha. Any sort of recommendations for coming in at this angle? I just don't have enough context to understand the choices between react/vue/flask/django/etc. I want to pick the most popular / stable / beginner friendly path. I don't care about scaling really. I care about easiness and prototype. If there is a reason to scale, that means the idea was successful and i can simply then pay someone else to refactor it to scale better. So far I have been playing with vue, feathersJS, jest, and babylon. Very in the dark though. Any recommendations for modern web multiplayer game programming written for someone who knows coding and software but not web highly appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 11:07 PM PDT I'm currently doing this course with Python: https://cs50.harvard.edu/ai/2020/notes/0/ The concepts are explained very well, but they do not take you through much code to implement things like breath, depth first search, A* search, etc. What videos/repositories do you recommend to learn more about implementing these algorithms with code? I've seen some on YouTube, but I was wondering if anyone has recommendations. I can implement some things myself (such as BFS/DFS), but I would like to see proper implementations to make sure I'm doing it right. Thanks [link] [comments]  |

| Why is including enviromental variables on the client ok when using firebase? Posted: 20 May 2021 10:53 PM PDT I'm trying to set up authentication on my client, and one of the steps is including a config which includes the apikey amoung other things. Here's an example of one. Why does this seem to be a non-issue? Couldn't someone take the config, and plug it into their own app to mess around with your data and add new users? It seems like people let the client do all the user creation and verification, but isn't that dangerous? [link] [comments]  |
