    You're not stupid. An important a-ha moment I had recently.

    If you don't understand something, chances are the concept has just been abstracted to a level that you haven't learned yet. It's in no way a refection of your intelligence.

    For example, if you're reading something along the lines of...

    "Log the callback for the eventlistener function and parse the JSON.", and you don't understand what this means.. don't take it personally.

    Read the sentence carefully and you'll realise there's a concept that has been abstracted to a level that you're not up to yet. Read each word carefully.. Do you truly understand what an eventlistener is. A callback? A JSON? A function? Parsing? Work out what you don't understand and grok it until you can ELI5 it. Keep doing this and everything will become clear.

    If this is happening a lot to you then you're rushing the process. Remember, you're not saving any time by skipping over things. If you grok the core concepts you can fold them up, put them in your pocket and not have to think about them again which frees you up for the next layer of abstraction.

    Programming buddy for python?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 12:49 PM PDT

    Hey, I am a very new beginner that is looking for help and support from just about anyone, and apologize if this is not the right place to ask. I am not only new to code/programming, but I am also new to Reddit, so everything is a steep learning curve. I am 19 and know no one personally that seriously is dedicated to coding and don't know how to really meet new people. I'm in Harvard's CS50 class "Introduction to Computer Science" and am looking to learn Python to be a Python dev in the future. My main focus, for now, is CS50 because I want to get a grasp of the fundamentals of computer science before I dive into Python. What I discovered is that it is very difficult, at least for me, but I'm not giving up. I just want to see who could be a buddy of mine that also is a beginner. I'm not saying you need to be a beginner, you can even be a software dev, but it helps in the sense that we can learn together. I know I am not the fastest learner, but I want to work on my own projects one day so maybe we can do it together? Again, I apologize if this is not the right place to post this, I'm just trying to network and find new people.

    Edit: I made a bare-bones discord server and everyone is welcome to join! https://discord.gg/yrZme9bH

    What's the point of using Docker?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 10:37 PM PDT

    I am 25% into a Docker udemy course. I realize it's an environment you generate out of an image, but I still struggle with realizing Docker's utility. "docker build ." out of a docker file seems just like npm install or mvn install. It just sounds like a glorified package manager to me with some nice automation scripts.

    And in deployment as well - I already use a VM configured to my needs in AWS. Why put a box inside an existing box? If I need a different box ill just fire up a new instance.

    New programmer! Looking for a mentor!

    Posted: 04 May 2021 05:04 PM PDT

    Hi all!!

    I am fairly new programmer currently trying to improve my Python and HTML/CSS skills. I can build a basic web page and stylesheet and also have create some functional beginner Python programs( tic tac toe, ATM simulation, name guesser, calculator, grocery list maker) I would love to explore other programming languages but I don't want to bite off more than I can chew.

    I really want to expand my knowledge and network. I've been connecting with different groups on LinkedIn and following different pages on instagram but I feel like I need to find a group of people that share the same interest in programming as me. I love discussing programming and find myself making jokes about it but my friends absolutely hate it and think its boring (which I can sort of understand)

    Is there a discord for beginners programmers that anyone knows? Or will anyone be willing to meet with me like 3 times a month just to fill this void in my life :,) ?

    Before getting into programming I was very involved in the performing arts (which I still love now) so most of my friends are interested in that.

    I'd love to meet new people and maybe work on a project :)

    TLDR: New programmer looking to connect with other beginners to hopefully find a mentor, create friends, and work on beginner friendly projects.

    PHP with MVC framework?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 10:17 PM PDT

    Just getting some opinions. I primarily work in oop php. Is an MVC model still a relevant framework to use in 2021? Or should i just code without the framework? My reason for asking is, I'm building a pretty complex site, trying to implement ajax requests. But cannot seem to get them to work together properly. So should I scratch the mvc and just choose how i know, or stick with it because it's becoming standard?

    Is there something like The Odin Project for embedded systems?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 06:35 PM PDT

    I'm really interested in programming physical hardware, and have started building a few basic projects, but it'd be really nice to have something that guides me a little to make sure I'm learning everything I need to.

    Programming with Mosh Cheat Sheet

    Posted: 04 May 2021 11:47 PM PDT

    Hey guys, Programming with Mosh created a Python tutorial which was 6h long and has about 17mil views (https://youtu.be/_uQrJ0TkZlc). There is a cheat sheet he created and referenced in the description however that link doesnt work anymore... So my question is if anyone was able to get it before it stopped working? It would be great if you could share it :)

    Docstring generator in google style in Python

    Posted: 04 May 2021 11:35 PM PDT

    Hello everyone, so i have to write a function that generates a docstring in the Google type, based on the definition of the __init__ function. The function should take a set of parameters in the form of a dictionary

    {'Args': None, 'Returns': None, 'Raises': None, 'Attributes': None, 'Summary': None, 'Description': None} 

    and generate the correct docstring (in the right order).

    print (gen_doc_google ({'Args': ['a', 'b'], 'Attributes': ['a', 'b'], 'Summary': "The Pear object describes the properties of pears."})) 

    I know I am supposed to give you my code, but i kinda don't understand this one, any ideas?

    Required output is something like this:

    ''' The Pear object describes the properties of pears. Args: a: b: Attributes: a: parameter a b: parameter b ''' 

    What i want is just some tips or ideas how to even start, then I will try to solve this one. I will be so greateful for any tips!

    Have a great day!

    Where do I find information for koitin/java?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 11:21 PM PDT

    Hello I learned C++ in my object-oriented programming class and we dabbled a bit into GTKmm GUI stuff, but and I want to code my app in java/koitin ( My professor recommended koitin but I don't know which one I learn ).

    So my question is where can I find the GUI information about java/koitin?

    and second, question how long should you expect it to take to develop applications? I have a couple in mind and I want to make all of them, but I'm not sure if I can do it in a 3-month timeframe plus I want to learn Javascript and build a website as well. Is it too much on my plate?

    Thanks. Edit: I forgot too add this something like learncpp if you've heard of it.

    I tried doing a few sections of Mosh's React Mastery course and was thoroughly confused throughout.

    Does anyone have any good recommendations or advice on the best ways to learn react?

    Structs with and without a pointer. When to use one or another? [C]

    Posted: 04 May 2021 07:07 PM PDT

    I've been reading about this for a while now, but everytime i think i understood and try to implement something, i have to think twice about what i should do.

    Let's say i have a struct

    struct person{ int age; float height; char name[30]; }; 

    What's the difference between

    struct person person_1; 

    and

    struct person *person_1; 

    I know what a pointer does and i know it's used for things like linked lists, but i've seen a lot of examples like this one, even in my CS book, and in this situation it doesn't make sense to me. Can someone enlighten me on this?

    Thanks in advance!

    How to create a support app with video calls and queueing for users (React Native)

    Posted: 04 May 2021 10:44 PM PDT

    I want to build an app where a user can "get in line" for a support technician, and when it's their turn they get connected to a support video call.

    Any ideas on how to build this? How to scaffold the app and what possible modules to make us of?

    Programming help

    Posted: 04 May 2021 10:44 PM PDT

    Dont really know what is needed for this, but lets say i have a window in windows that has text in it, that text periodically change colour for a while, i want to make a program that can "see" what colour it is in the text in a given area. I know some c# and JavaScript but I've never really understood how you can get information from outside your own little sphere of programming where you set the parameters and know what to look for.

    Help me with AWS and Cloud Services

    Posted: 04 May 2021 10:38 PM PDT

    I am in this situation right now.

    to retrench our budget, I have to make my mind :(

    Currently, I have a server that has 3 services right now. (MongoDB, FastAPI, NodeJS)

    I am using a free tier server on AWS but I am done with developing my service.

    1. The servers have to be located in the USA.
    2. We have 10 million text data on MongoDB(We only use MongoDB).
    3. We don't know how big the traffic is going to be.
    4. On database solution, I am considering AWS DocumentDB or Atlas.
    5. Is it better to use AWS Lambda for my FastAPI Service?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 06:29 PM PDT

    Hey all! I recently started learning Flutter, and I would like to learn it with someone. I'am not completely new to programming. I learned a bit of Web Dev(html, css, js), Java(OOP) (Android Studio). So I'd like to meet someone with about the same background. By the way, I'm not American, I live in Kazakhstan, so if I make mistakes in words, I'm sorry 😃 (but my English is around Intermediate level).

    Just Wanted To Share My Experience

    Posted: 04 May 2021 10:07 PM PDT

    Hi, I started learning Programming about 2 years ago (alongside the rest of my studies which as a school student I was expected to give priority to), and after from language to language and platform to language today I just released my first Project, a Screen Annotation Tool made with electron. While I still have tons to learn and a long way to go, this milestone means alot to me, and for that I am extremely grateful to all the people who contributed to the tutorials I used and everyone who helped me on forums and subs like this one.

    Just a note on starting your own projects, learning new skills through books and tutorials is important but you haven't completely learnt them till you actually use them. So, even if your skill level is relatively low, if you have a good idea for a project, give it a go, and you'll gain a whole lot in the process. many people lose motivation because they can not finish a project. Before starting this one, I had stopped working on countless projects simply because they had become "boring", and there is not much wrong with that, since your time is not wasted, instead you learn new concepts and numerous skills of yours are enhanced, which would not have been possible with just tutorials, and which will help you in future projects.

    PS: If you want to check my project you can do so here (any reviews are welcome)

    Does a professional programmer still looks for codes online?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 06:20 PM PDT

    As the title says, being a professional programmer, or working in big companies, do you still look for codes online and just revise it? I am still in college but I am already fear about my future plan in life. But I can't even make a program from scratch. I just combine bunch of codes I found online. I also can't memorize all of them. How do you manage to memorize alot of codes and know how to when to use it? Do you still rely on programming sites when making a big project for your company?

    Programming with VR

    Posted: 04 May 2021 02:28 PM PDT

    I would like to start programming with VR, but I don't have any experience. Specifically, I am thinking of creating a VR game.

    For people who have experience, what is the best VR headset for programming? I do have a Gear VR which is the VR headset that uses a Samsung phone to power and run it. Can I still program a VR game with this? I think Gear VR discontinued a few years ago. I also don't have any VR hand controllers. If I end up buying controllers, will it pair with the Gear VR? Should I consider buying a new VR headset entirely?

    Google Data Analytics Course worth taking as a college student?

    Posted: 04 May 2021 06:05 PM PDT

    Hey guys I'm currently transferring from a community college to a 4 year university and was wondering if the Google data analytics course was worth taking as a college student. As an economics major my goal during the summer is to learn how to use SQL and maybe learn some basic python so that during the school year I could try and land some internships. I found out about the Google data analytics program and was wondering if it would be worth (paying for) and trying to complete. From my understanding its an 8 course program that can span up to 6 months in time to complete.

    Am I better off spending my time on shorter Udemy courses over the summer or should I try and take the Google class for certification? I'm not exactly sure I'd be able to finish all the courses for the certificate before my semester starts at school so they'd overlap with my classes (assuming I take about 6 months to complete).
