    Am I the only one who thinks that Free Code Camp is great at teaching raw skills, but lacks on actually teaching how to create a website itself?

    Free code academy is really code at teaching the raw skills, but you need supplementary education/ lessons on how to actually code a website.

    What do you guys think?

    Just got rejected again...

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 08:37 AM PDT

    Never thought I'd be at this point, don't really want to make this post but just want to get this out of my head.

    So about February last year I had a massive 180 on career and went all in on learning web dev, then cue coronavirus.... makes sense since I left school in 2008 and well that was a great time for the jobs market too...

    So I stuck it out, discovered I love it, then had a little break whilst I thought about a startup and my laptop broke. Then I jumped back in hard. Around February I thought I was about job ready, had a decent understanding of Javascript and could make a few react apps and started on the node trail.

    Job searching went great to start, got 2 interviews quite quickly, then nothing for like 100 applications... Kept progressing, started making a full stack site, made a decent personal site, dived into learning graphql, things start picking up and I got 5 interviews in a month! Aaaand they all led no where...

    Just got the rejection today from my favourite one I've came close to, seemed like a perfect job for me and they gave a coding challenge which I thought was a bit much but I wanted it so I put a lot of effort into it and definitely feel quite proud of what I made, still couldn't get the elusive second interview.

    Really dunno what to do at this point, I'm fucking miserable working 65 hours a week in a job I hate being a slave to the money. I know I'm not the most experienced, but I work 65 hours a week and I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone more driven, do you want an employees for the next 6 months or 6 years and what applicant is actively looking to more than half their current salary?!?

    So yea, 150 applications, 7 interviews, 0 2nd interviews, 0 offers

    And there's my story, guess I'm going to have to keep moving forward since there isn't a plan b, here's hoping I can make the "I did it" post sometime soon...

    Edit since people have been asking my personal site is www.king-of.tech

    Cyber Security - Career Path

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 12:00 AM PDT

    As I expect a lot of you do, I find myself on this subreddit reading into posts for hours and recently I've seen a lot of mentions about Cyber/IT Security as possible career paths.

    Really just looking for some advice or even recommendations as to how you would go about being ready to apply for a job in this line of work.

    What languages would you recommend?

    What online courses have/would you take?

    Any textbooks etcs that you think would help?

    Really just looking for some solid advice as to where to start and what you recommend learning along the way to being able to apply for this kind of work!

    Sorry if things above seem a bit repetitive it's early in the morning! If this post shouldn't be here please let me know and I'll remove it.

    Thanks again

    I don't like doing tutorials

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 07:32 AM PDT

    I have been learning to program for around months now and I like making projects. However, I get bored while doing a tutorial. Are their any ways to avoid this?

    Two days ago I downloaded Python and Pycharm and have begun following along on YouTube tutorials but I feel I learn best if I had some real world projects to mess around with. Where can I find such a thing?

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 06:34 PM PDT

    Following a tutorial and coding along with the instructor doesn't help me to retain anything I learn. I learn by being given a project and Google the answer after every part I get stuck in. And just keep doing that project after project.

    I don't really know how else to learn. So tomorrow I'm going to code a basic Tic Tac Toe game. But what are some actual projects that I could try to do? I know I'm just beginning with just two days in but like I said the only method of learning that I'm even aware of is just jump in and do trial and error over and over

    PS - I have zero experience with coding and fundamentals in general. Never did a CS degree or anything even close.

    Inheritance and Private variables

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 12:00 AM PDT

    So I read that if you declare a variable as private in a base class, the inherited class can't access it.

    For example let's make a base class called Vehicle. Vehicle has a private int called numofWheels.

    Now let's define another class called Car which inherits from vehicle. As we know irl Cars also have wheels but it can't inherit the numofWheels variable from Vehicle.

    So how do we go about giving the Car class some wheels. Do we just define another numofWheels variable within the Car class? Would we pass the number of wheels we want to the constructor of the Car class and then have that pass the number to the super class constructor so that the base class initializes it?

    Concepts necessary to develop algorithms visualizations

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 02:56 AM PDT

    Hey yall, I want to develop some algorithms visualizations with java for now, as a project to develop some coding skills.

    What are some of the basic skills necessary to develop such visualizations? It's the first time I develop a project this big (even though it isn't that big..) so I want to mostly focus on the sort algorithms.

    I probably need to learn JavaFX right? Any tips will help.

    [Angular] Leaflet Popup won't show my Chart

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 11:04 PM PDT

    Hey, I'm trying to show a chart on my leaflet popup. I have created a ChartComponent in which I generate a chart with ng2-charts. Here is the template:

    <div class="chart"> <canvas baseChart [datasets]="chartData" [labels]="chartLabels" [chartType]="chartType" [colors]="chartColors"></canvas> </div> 

    In my MapComponent I have this line:

    component = this.resolver.resolveComponentFactory(ChartComponent).create(this.injector); 

    which I then assign to the popup:

    mouseover: (e) => (this.highlightFeature(e, feature), layer.bindPopup(this.component.location.nativeElement).openPopup()), 

    This works fine if in the ChartComponent, I put for example <p>test<p>. Then it correctly shows me test in the popup. However when I try it with the chart it shows me an empty popup like this:

    https://gyazo.com/5224a9a109b3cac252d1a92d7a4364d4

    Below you can see the chart which should be showing in the popup. You can tell that the size of the popup adjusts properly to the size of the chart, but it doesnt actually show the chart. If anyone would know why that would be awesome.

    Java program to accept string from user and count and print the number of vowels is not working.

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 08:47 PM PDT

    So I have to write a java program that would accept a string from the user and count and print the number of vowels in the string, I have to use for loop and methods of class String, I can't use arrays. I have written a program but it's not working properly.

    it's not even printing the message "enter a sentence" and also not counting and printing the number of vowels.

    /*write a program to count the number of vowels in a string*/ import java.util.Scanner; class CountingVowels { public static void main(String[]args) { Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); int count = 0; String str; System.out.println("Enter a sentence"); str = sc.nextLine(); int a = str.length(); for (int i=0 ; i<=a; i++){ char ch = str.charAt(i); if(ch == 'a'|| ch == 'e'|| ch == 'i' ||ch == 'o' ||ch == 'u') { count ++; } } System.out.println("Number of vowels in the given sentence is "+count); } } 

    I'm new so please don't attack me.

    Multithreading and function occasionally returning errors

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 02:08 AM PDT

    In my logs here you can see that the RFQ function sometimes the response is correct and other times it returns an error (-1), see dpaste.org/FBPc.

    If this is caused by multithreading, I would want the RFQ request to sit there hanging until it can access the orderbook, not return an error.

    Here is the function where the logging is done, dpaste.org/SywW

    Here is the wider project, https://github.com/Diffeomorph/RFQ-Market

    Cipher Converter in C?

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 02:04 AM PDT

    First and foremost, I don't have any experience with C and just started learning it. Only experience I have is in python which is still at most intermediate level So for my project work. I have decided to make a simple encryption /decryption app . But I don't know if that's possible in C or C++. I have tried out a few programs about encryption but I m clueless about whether it is possible to make a gui based application in C.(Basically my question)

    P. S - I have created the same convertor in python. Just no knowledge whether it's viable in C

    Types of software developers- choose based on job prevalence or interest?

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 06:54 AM PDT

    I've been studying Python for 4 months now. I plan on doing a few more months studying data structures and algorithms, after which I will move to a new language.

    While learning, I've been casually looking into the job market to aid my decision. I've been interested in mobile development, but these jobs seem less prevalent. It appears that front end is the way to go in terms of raw volume of jobs. Is it harder to get a job in mobile development?

    In addition, I tend to be more of a thinker than a builder- I think I would like back end more because I have a background in chemical engineering and prefer the more complex computer science concepts over the aesthetic ones. Once again, these jobs seem less prevalent. Should I just plan on doing front end for a while? Seems like it could be the best way to get into the industry.

    I could be totally wrong in my assumptions of the types of software development jobs. If so, please let me know. I would love to hear your thoughts on both the types of jobs and what might be best for entering the market.

    Coding challenges in interviews

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 01:54 AM PDT

    Hello there!

    As I'm pretty new to programming I'd like to know if there are any general guidelines for coding challenges when job hunting.

    So I made a code challenge test for a job which was similar to Codewars. I completed all the tests in less than half the time allowed and they passed all the test runs (including my own). My code were generally short and logical following (I don't have access to the solutions for copy paste) and I think the code made an efficient job.

    To my suprise, I just got denied because I had "too little points" so that made me interested as I'm still waiting for more feeeback, are there any general guidelines you know employers use when evaluating the challenges?

    Thanks!

    What are some interesting and easy projects to make?

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 01:48 AM PDT

    I've recently started scripting and by recently I mean as in today in roblox workspace (yes I know not the most impressive thing ever) but I've heard it's based off of lua and I want to challenge myself by creating something with what I've learned so far, is there anything lua based I could create or maybe another language I could start learning along with Lua that would allow me to make a small project ?(doesn't need to be anything to complex, just a way of testing myself)
