    Am I going through freecodecamp too fast?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:02 PM PDT

    I just started freecodecamp a few days ago and it feels like I'm breezing by the lessons. I've finished approximately 38% of the Responsive Web Design section in, I would estimate, 5 hours or so. According to the website this section is supposed to take 300 hours to complete. Am I going too fast? Is there additional work I should be doing on the side to slow things down? Or does this section get much more difficult and take more time the further along I get?

    I made a Youtube channel teaching coding through memes. If you are new to coding and don't have a technical background, hopefully these make programming more approachable.

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 04:31 PM PDT

    I've been doing a lot of best practices document writing at work lately, and thought it might be a fun endeavor to try and teach programming via memes and more grounded examples than a CS class might do. So I've started putting together a channel in the hopes to do just that. So far I've done the 101's of coding, but hopefully I can keep working on this and get more people into programming. I know coding can be a terrifying endeavor, especially from a non-technical background. I made this series with that in mind, trying to get the basics out into the world in a more humorous format that tries to teach "How would you use X" vs "X works because of..."

    So far I cover all the intro topics from Hello World to methods and classes, then start touching on more advanced topics like OO. It's a work in progress in the sense that there are a million things to teach, but I've laid out enough groundwork that you can hopefully teach yourself from where I left off. Or if its 3 years from now and you stumble on this post, and im still making these videos, then you can
    teach yourself everything about coding and pass interviews and be successful.

    For my background qualifications, I have an undergraduate degree in Comp Sci, I am about to earn my Master's in Computer Science, and I've worked at a few major companies from Amazon to Salesforce and have learned a lot about what to do and what not to do from that time. I have a passion for teaching, so I am really hoping that I can help even just one person find a love of programming through this series. To me, that would be mission accomplished.

    How does your task workflow look like from start to finish?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 11:24 PM PDT

    In my job its looks like this:

    1. take the task
    2. implement
    3. code review (task gets returned because of poor design choices / back to step 2)

    I think it's wrong. Our tasks are getting returned from code review sometimes after few days of work and the reviewer senior dev is asking us often to redo the whole design.

    In my opinion, the end result of the code review shouldn't be a complete rewrite. It's a total waste of time. The implementation should be discussed before we even write a single line of code.

    I'm curious how are you approaching this in your job. I think the senior devs should discuss with us the implementation (high level at least) after we come up with one but before we start to write the code. I presented this to my leads and they said they have no time for that. But they have however time for asking us why the task took so long.

    Question for those who use: DENO, GraphQL, Next.JS, React, or Apache Kafka

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 09:11 PM PDT

    What are some nuisances you encounter day-to-day that you would want to have a tool developed for?

    I am part of a student team that is in the ideation phase of a project in which we need to create a dev tool that would "solve a dev problem." However, it's a bit hard to come up with solutions for problems we don't even know exist, since we haven't used some of these technologies. Past projects have included things like visualization tools, metrics collection methods, and development of libraries.

    Would any developers out there be kind enough to share some real life problems they have with the tools currently available? Little things that would make your day better if there was a better way? Or please advise if there's a more appropriate place to post this.

    Thank you, and let the rants begin!

    Any late beginner to intermediate Computer Science puzzle books or websites?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:36 PM PDT

    I'm looking for something I can work on preferably with pen and paper at work. Something that involves solving computer science puzzles where I can write down an answer and check it in the book. Or even a book that would involve an entire project where each chapter is a small portion of an ongoing project.

    Ideally questions would have a wide range of topics from loops and array problems, to generics, to encapsulation and Big-O notation.

    Ex: Something that would help me preapre for upcoming university CS classes. With some sort of ramping difficulty. Much like a typical CS textbook, except good and with answers and explanations.

    I have taken a few CS classes already. So not looking for total beginner stuff. More refresher and preperation stuff.

    I am willing to spend money on a book.

    I work 3rd shift and have alot of time on my hands at work. So I can not use the internet or my phone. I could print out material at home though and bring it in.

    I made a game you can use to learn JavaScript in an entertaining way

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 12:26 AM PDT

    Hi! I made a real-time strategy game where you control everything by writing JavaScript code.

    Thought it could be a fun way to learn the language for beginners, as most of the important things in the game can be done by simple object reference and if statements, but at the same time it allows for more complexity to develop over time.

    You can play it for free at https://yare.io

    The first step

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 12:10 AM PDT

    I need approaches to programming. I don't know what language I need to learn. The goal is to update a web page every 5-10 seconds and book an appointment. To book an appointment there are several steps. There is a calendar available.

    On blue highlighted and underlined days there are still appointments available.

    On red underlined days all appointments are fully booked.

    On white underlined days there are no appointments available for booking.

    When an appointment is available, I need to click on the blue box in the calendar. A new page appears where I can select the location and time with one click, then another new page appears where I have to enter first name, last name, email and terms of use and confirm with Add appointment.

    List of lists, is turning out a list of strings

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 09:37 PM PDT

    The contents of a csv file.

    [['a', 25, 69, 'Apple'], [5, 'doll', 854, 41.2], [8, 6, 'car', True]] 

    I open it in my python program with this.

    with open('product_asset_empty_template.csv') as f: product_asset_empty = f.readlines() print(product_asset_empty) print(type(product_asset_empty)) print(product_asset_empty[0]) print(type(product_asset_empty[0])) print(product_asset_empty[0][0]) print(product_asset_empty[0][1]) 

    So I'm just trying to start with an empty version of a list of lists, that my program will fill with information then save to another file.

    ["[['a', 25, 69, 'Apple'],\n", "[5, 'doll', 854, 41.2],\n", "[8, 6, 'car', True]]"] <class 'list'> [['a', 25, 69, 'Apple'], <class 'str'> [ [ 

    So I was hoping the class on both would be list

    and the last two would be

    ['a', 25, 69, 'Apple'] [5, 'doll', 854, 41.2] 

    I can see that it's adding unnecessary square brackets at the start and end, I assume its because of the way it's read the files contents, I tried f.read() but that just turned it into a string.

    How to make an interactive decision tree?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:42 PM PDT

    I would like to learn a simple way to make a clickable decision tree where the user clicks a series of options and gets different final answers depending on the combination of options. I already made one using Excel by following these instructions: https://chandoo.org/wp/interactive-decision-tree-chart/

    I would like to make one that can open in a web browser or something similar. I know there are programs that you can pay for and get it done but I would prefer to do it myself or get a free or very cheap program.

    I have very little coding knowledge so I would like a solution with detailed explanations if possible.

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:32 PM PDT

    Hey Im a programmer that is getting back into things and picking up python. With this I have been perusing reddit and r/learnprogramming to find as much information as possible to help me get a good start. With that i learn really well with others. I am curious if there is a Discord out there that we can get on and do some discussions or ask questions? I know we have this reddit and many others but i really want to be able to speak with someone and discuss things on the fly at times.

    Edit: so being a noob I forgot to search the FAQ for this and after found it so thank yall for seeing this and if you read it and don't know check out the FAQ for the discord invite link.

    How can I check if my project can go through the school firewall

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 07:55 PM PDT

    I am a CS undergraduate student who was assigned to make a project that bypasses the school firewall system. We were asked to bring movie info from YTS. The way projects will be checked is, if I create a Heroku app out of my NodeJS + React Project, and share the URL, the professor will go into the URL from school. However, the thing is, since we are doing online classes, I don't have my school network access. After I create the project, how can I tell if it can bypass the school firewall system? Is there a website or a way to check(I am developing from my home local network)?

    Why are people here so eager to learn how to program in order to get a job?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 11:56 AM PDT

    Alright maybe I'm just priviliged, but I'm from Germany and while you can study computer science at college, they pretty much don't teach you programming. It's mostly mathematics. (Source: Friend who studies it)

    However, you can do an apprenticeship and become a software developer. You apply at some company and work there for a month, then you have one month of school, then a month of work again etc. You don't earn a lot of money (~1300 to 1500$ + government support ~500$) but hey, that's pretty good I guess since you're still learning.

    You do this for 3 years (or 2 if you're good), you learn how to program and usually the company that you've already spent your time with offers you a job. If not or if you simply don't want to spend your time at this company anymore you can quit too, because you now have a degree and usually it's easy for software developers to find a job here.

    Now what I don't understand is that many people here seem to want to learn programming first in order to find a job. Do other countries not offer similar careers?

    Pre med student thinking of switching to computer science

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 12:11 AM PDT

    I am(or was) a 19 pre med student who has studied biology for most of his life from O levels to A levels. As time went on, I became less and less interested in the subject but since I had made up my mind about it, I continued. Then came the medical exam for universities, I... couldn't clear the test mostly because I could not manage the stress of the constant delays of exam due to the pandemic but also because I couldn't find any of what I was studying interesting

    I then took a gap year to think about this stuff since stress management is the most integral part of med school and maybe I was not cut for it. I looked for other options particularly biotech and computer science since I liked tech. Biotech seemed very risky to me due to the lack of jobs in my country and that I have do masters for a decent chance at employment. I looked at CS and started an online course, cs50x, I completed week 0 and 1 but quit at week 2 since I was stuck on the problems and couldn't, for the life of me, do it. I switched to the Odin project since I heard its more beginner friendly. I started the foundation and completed it till the front end where I had to recreate google homepage(I didn't complete the entire course since I had to prepare for university exam)

    I liked researching about this stuff and thought I should persue CS. I looked up universities and started preparing for the entrance exam. A lot of people have encouraged me but lately some have discouraged me, saying how saturated the market has become and how in four years(when I graduate) it will be even more difficult to find a job and how for a pre med student who doesn't have a strong grasp on math wouldn't make it far in the industry. Now I am back to phase 1 and while I am still preparing for the exam, I can't get this thing out of my head

    Thanks for listening to my ted talk and I would appreciate some help :)

    what language should I learn for software programming

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 12:02 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I would like to learn a programming language to make personal software, because right now I need something to remind me of what work do I need to do, and since my school's platform sucks (half of the teachers dont use it) I would like to make some for myself, even if I have to write what work do I have to do myself. It would be efficient for me to also learn a language that could be useful to manage servers, since I'm planning to either make one or use a nas. I'm am confused as to choose between python or java

    How much STL in CPP is required for cracking technical interviews?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 11:53 PM PDT

    Which STL topics are required for solving technical interviews mostly? I will for sure practice them better and will try to learn about all of them mostly but which ones should I be well versed with and are most likely handy.

    Also some resources will be helpful. Thanks.

    how would I go about making each array element in a array in js react clickable?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 08:03 PM PDT

    hello I'm working on a memory card game project, you have to click on a different card to gain a point, and if you click the same card again it will reset your score, and each time you click a card it shuffles the cards. In my demonsCards.js component I've put all my cards in a array, and I've found an algorithm that will shuffles my array, but I can't figure out a way to make each image element clicked that will run the shuffle function to shuffle my array. I feel like you I am suppose to use react hooks like use state and use effect, but I don't know what to exactly to do.

    Can anyone guide me through this?

    Also I am if I pass class graphconvlayer to class GCN, do I have to now separately pass each of it's parameters also to the object ä of class GCN?

    If I change method forward to say forwardtwo in both the classes would that have an effect? I am asking to know if forward is an inbuilt method of pytorch. I did check the documentation and they do have forward class.

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 06:57 PM PDT

    Just to supplement the title, I tried to enroll in linear algebra at my local community college but they have some bs prerequisite requirement of calc 2 even though I want to take it without credit. I mainly want to get into some making some 2d sketching programs so I figured learning linear algebra would help with that.

    Any advise would be helpful. Thanks!
