    Get your CS degree for free! (USA)

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 06:30 AM PDT

    I made a comment about a way for someone to get there entire CS degree paid for 100% no catch by Walmart, and had two people PM me for more information.

    Let me preface this by saying I am no way affiliated with Walmart except that I am aware of the service and know of friends currently enrolled and completing degrees.

    If you are employed by Walmart in any way. It could be a part time cashier all the way up to a salaried member of management. They offer starting on your first day 100% covered books and tuition to a few accredited school BS programs.

    One of these programs is through Southern New Hampshire University the link to the program is below

    https://www.snhu.edu/online-degrees/bachelors/bs-in-computer-science

    This is probably one of the most amazing benefits I have come across offered to anyone in a long time. If you know of someone who isn't financially prepared for college this is perfect for them.

    There are many other degree programs you can choose from but I just wanted to highlight the CS degree here.

    Now I know SNHU isn't Harvard and it's all online, however now that online is the new norm and a CS degree is becoming more standard I just wanted to share.

    If anyone has any questions please ask!

    So I changed career path and got my first Junior job at 33, I'm freaking OUT

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 09:56 PM PDT

    As the title says, I'm 33 and always been a programmer, but I worked solo for 10 years so never had to care about good practices, code was mostly structural and not pretty at all

    My code always worked and clients were happy with the results, but I decided to drop everything and get a job at this company.

    They offered me a Junior position and I happily accepted it, but I start in a few days and I'M ALREADY FREAKING OUT...

    I never programmed in teams, never OOP nor Agile and they use languages I never used before... They know this, I never hid anything from them but still, has anyone experienced something like this before ?

    I'm worried about failure, not being able to learn or work alongside other people.

    Any tips ?

    I'm in my 1st year of CS bachelor degree and My college is not very good, and I want to get a job in a good product based company, what should I do in these 3-4 yrs of my college to prepare for it and get a job there?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 01:10 PM PDT

    So basically what the question is saying, I'm in my 1st yr of CS degree, and I want to get job at any good product based companies but my college is very low tier and those big companies don't come here for placement purposes.

    So What and How should I do to get a job in those companies?

    I have heard that having a good profile on GitHub and any competitive coding site helps a lot. Is it true?

    It would be also good if I get some type of a small Roadmap for this

    Thanks

    how do they know everything?!

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 09:03 AM PDT

    I don't understand how people remember all this stuff lol. I know practice and repetition has a lot to do with learning syntax and how to put things together but for the things that you don't do everyday how do people remember it all? Will I get shamed out of town if I use a cheat sheet or google stuff lol.

    For people in the IT industry, how important is database in your career?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 05:20 PM PDT

    I am taking a database design and SQL class this semester for my Cyber Security Bachelors degree and was actually really curious as to how important it is to learn about databases and the inner workings of them. I know I should at least know the basics of them, but should I delve deeper into the subject? or just take what I can from the class.

    Thanks!

    I'm the developer of PixePAD.io, a Python-based Game Engine designed for beginner coders, looking for feedback from beginners and experts. Example games and source provided

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 05:46 PM PDT

    This was initially designed for my students, but I feel like this could be helpful for people in this forum. It's free forever, I don't intend to monetize. Maybe if the costs get too high I'll have to reconsider ads or something.

    I designed it to have an extremely low learning curve, so it runs straight from the browser, and you could get something up in a minute or so, even if its your first time in the engine. However, that also means there's no magic functions, or any buttons to click that make it just 'work'. It's designed for learners after all, so you might need to write your own sort now and then. Not intended for everyone, so if you're looking for a triple A title game, this is probably not going to be it, but is a great tool to learn how to code.

    Games and their python source code below:

    Terraria Clone

    Water level (but done really good!)

    Are there backend bootcamps?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 11:55 PM PDT

    I am considering doing a programming bootcamp to change careers, but have more of an interest in backend development. Most camps out there seem to be more focused on front end development. I have a 4-year degree in Informatics(or as I call, diet CS) but want to dive full in on development now. I know I could do it on my own, but the structured format of a course will really help me. I'm currently thinking of Hack Reactor or a University of Washington course, but those still seem heavy on front end dev, which maybe is best. But regardless, are there bootcamps out there that focus on backend dev?

    If you would show programming for a person for the first time and you really wanted to cause a good impression. Which small project would you develop with him?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 07:45 AM PDT

    I'm trying to show some career possibilities to a young person and programming is a good pick nowadays. I was wondering how could I show a little of it in a away that makes this person at least find it really interesting.

    • I'd do it using Python.

    I'm looking for a way to connect and visualize all (or most) concepts in software development

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 04:50 PM PDT

    Does anyone have a link to a "map of software development"? I'm interested in having a panoramic view of all the topics involved in producing software (such as design patterns, dev ops, programming languages, etc.) and the connections between them, since I do not have a clear image of them in my mind; I only know rather basic and isolated concepts. Although I would like some visual explanation, it doesn't have to be an actual map, maybe a good blog post or general guide will do for me.

    The only thing that comes close is this mind map I found online, but it doesn't explain much and it's incomplete.

    Thanks!

    Some questions about web development and ASP.net

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 09:32 PM PDT

    Hello guys,

    - Which one is better (in terms employability, especially in the European market), Node.js or asp.net ?knowing that I learned the basics and OO programming through c++ from about three years but I didn't continue in that time for many reasons ...anyway

    -In case of asp.net, which should I start with, the front-end stuff or c# programming and then to learn the front-end side?

    Also do you guys have any good roadmap for both asp.net and node.js?

    And thanks in advance.

    Programming in C using VS Code on m1

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 09:25 PM PDT

    Hey, reddit

    I just downloaded Universal VS Code on the m1 mac. When I debug a code, it tells me that I need configuration. And then, it takes me to a page that is called, "launch.json". My question is, is it supposed to do that? I don't see anything that says my run was successful. The tab also told me to check out this link:

    Why Are Data Structures Important?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 08:39 PM PDT

    I contributed to an open source project a while ago and i noticed how there no data structures or algorithms in them. Are data structures important to make programs or are they largely irrelevant and only useful for niche situations? Is it worth worth it to learn data structures now or should I just learn it later at university?

    Help a beginner out

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 08:15 PM PDT

    So I started learning python and will complete the basics like dictionaries, tuples, inheritance by tomorrow. I want to do open source after this so I can learn how to use python in real world situations and actively contribute to the community. What should my first steps be? How do i get beginner projects at github?? Any advice you might have for me??

    Also I want to take part in GSoC next year. So tips for that too please.

    Thanks!!!

    As a beginner, what should be the next step if your code works how it is supposed to but "It just feels wrong" TLDR: Writing sloppy code starting. It works but I don't know how to improve

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 05:31 PM PDT

    I have not been programming for very long, so I am am still practing with pretty simple apps, when I get to a challenge day in my lesson plan that tells me what to build but not how to do it. I am able to complete it, but as Im doing it I know there is a better way to do it but for some reason I just get "writers block". What would be the next step to get past that?

    I know I could pull up an example project but I feel that defeats the purpose of the challenge day. more so how to improve and understand how to write it better after its been written

    Can any of you kind folks point me towards a good resource for website development?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 05:21 PM PDT

    I'm an electrical engineer looking to go freelance and would like to build a website to promote myself and services. As a double e, I have experience programming microcontrollers but have never done any GUIs or websites. Because of this, I will not need the basics of programming, just instructions on how to actually developed a site. Maybe a step by step guide? Also, I run Linux so a recommendation for a good coding program would be appreciated.

    Thank you for your help and advice in advance.

    Who tried Ecole 42 ? Is it worth it?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 11:09 PM PDT

    I passed the piscine in Moscow franchise of Ecole 42. It was awesome experience. The main curriculum starts in oct-november.

    But I heard that for about a year students there just learn the basics of C and C++ and its mandatory. And only after that you'll have the opportunity to choose the language on your own. Is it a truth? Honestly I don't see the reason to learn C++ if I want to be a web developer, so I kind of confused.

    Need help choosing a programming language to learn!

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 10:39 PM PDT

    Hi y'all, I am currently in Y11, doing Cambridge IGCSE. I have taken computer science, and I already know python, a little bit of C++ and HTML. Now im Indian, and in a middle class family, so College options are kind of limited. I need to build up an outstanding resume, and for that I though I would pursue programming for my career. Now, I know that C++ is great for competitive programming, and that is something im interested in doing now, but my question is, which language is best if I want to go and work in companies like Google, Microsoft etc. Please advise.

    I need a coding project for school

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 10:12 PM PDT

    I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for something I could do for a school project. I have already tried to make a game, but my teacher said to try to explore something else rather than do something everyone has already tried before. I have looked up some ideas but they seems a little too complicated for my coding level like: voice AI, Cryptocurrency wallet, etc. I'm having a tough time finding a project that is my level and won't take only 1 week to finish as my class is given around 6 weeks to finish a project.

    What is wrong with BASIC

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 09:59 PM PDT

    I have seen some stuff saying how BASIC teaches awful habits and does not adhere to conventions but I just don't see it. I started my programming journey a couple months ago with this emulator

    https://www.calormen.com/jsbasic/

    and I thought that it struck a good balance between being somewhat flexible while not getting bogged down in syntax rules. Of course it's not really suited for industrial use or anything but for an absolute beginner who wants something more advanced then Scratch but is not ready for C or Python, it seems a good choice.

    When I switched to Python after around 3-4 months I didn't have too much trouble other then coping with the loss of the GOTO command as I already understood fundamentals like variables and if statements. Of course I still had growing pain learning Python but I think I did better then I would have if I just jumped right into Python.

    Of course BASIC is not the best language and is quite limited but for being a "basic" language it does it's job and I don't see what these "bad habits" BASIC supposedly creates, spaghetti code is a problem in ANY language not just BASIC. IDK can someone clue me in?

    (P.S when I say "BASIC" I mean the ones that went like

    10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"

    20 GOTO 10

    Not VBA)
