What have you been working on recently? [August 28, 2021] Posted: 27 Aug 2021 09:00 PM PDT What have you been working on recently? Feel free to share updates on projects you're working on, brag about any major milestones you've hit, grouse about a challenge you've ran into recently... Any sort of "progress report" is fair game! A few requests: If possible, include a link to your source code when sharing a project update. That way, others can learn from your work! If you've shared something, try commenting on at least one other update -- ask a question, give feedback, compliment something cool... We encourage discussion! If you don't consider yourself to be a beginner, include about how many years of experience you have. This thread will remained stickied over the weekend. Link to past threads here. submitted by /u/AutoModerator [link] [comments]

I just had my first coding class and I understood nothing Posted: 27 Aug 2021 12:34 AM PDT So I had my first class yesterday, we were learning c++ and I basically understood nothing . Is this normal? submitted by /u/ThoriZeusGT [link] [comments]

Should I take the offer? Posted: 27 Aug 2021 05:56 PM PDT I was helping a customer out at work just now, and we were talking for a while I told the guy that I've been learning frontend web development for a year,and I told him that I knew the basics of css html Js and react. He told me that he has his own LLC web development company, and he said he need some more developers for "grunt work" and he said he would pay me. Should I take him up the offer? also after a year of learning I still don't fell ready to go out there. like their is still a lot to learn before I even do. I fell scared like the dude or someone else is going to call me out. Edit: sorry for the bad grammar in the original post I wasn't thinking about it while typing. Also thanks for the feedback I decided to take the guy out on his offer I couldn't find a way to share my GitHub repos to the guy so we decided to share the code through a email zip file, and a friend of mine said that I will need to make a contract to present to the guy? submitted by /u/Alert_Locksmith [link] [comments]

what is the meaning of "object" ? Posted: 27 Aug 2021 02:36 PM PDT hello everyone i read alot about everything in python is object , even the function python is the first language i try to learn so i cant understand what is meaning of object ? and is there another language that element in it is not object? can someone explain in easy language what is the meaning of "object" ? submitted by /u/MjdAlmalti [link] [comments]

Java and JavaScript (or Python) at the same time? Posted: 27 Aug 2021 07:49 PM PDT Hey everyone, I'm just starting to get into programming and currently I am learning Java as my first language. However, I am also considering learning either JavaScript or Python at the same time. But I had some questions: 1) Should I even do this? 2) If yes, which one out of the two should I do? (I'm kind of leaning towards python). submitted by /u/L4VINDER [link] [comments]

How to create an e-commerce website? Posted: 27 Aug 2021 04:07 PM PDT I read the FAQ and it stated I would need HTML5, Javascript and CSS. But I asked around and now they tell me I need SQL, JS, html/css and php for the backend. And some sort of PCI DSS compliant. For front end stuff you'll need to learn front end bootstrap, react, vue or whatever. So I guess I'm pretty lost now, I just want something that shows the product and you add to cart and checkout. I'm currently learning Javascript and maybe I'll do SQL next. I just need help, what do I exactly need? submitted by /u/Kaezumi [link] [comments]

Can a computer prove a specific function will halt or not, and find the sets of arguments that will do either? Posted: 27 Aug 2021 10:54 PM PDT Can a computer be given a specific function, and through purely syntactic/algorithmic means find a set of arguments that will cause it to halt or not? For the sake of the argument let's imagine the int range is unlimited in the following example: def subtractTwo (arg) : while arg != 0 : arg = arg - 2 It's obvious that this function will only halt if arg is a positive even integer. But this understanding, at least for me, comes from understanding the semantic content of this function, or why it does what it does. Can a computer/AI come to this conclusion and prove it without any human input? If arg is an odd number, it will decrement infinitely, and we can't compare previous states to prove it will never halt. That's the only reliable method I've found mentioned so far to prove a function won't halt. Alternatively, is it possible to write a function that's impossible for a computer to prove whether it will halt or not, but that it's possible for a human to do so? submitted by /u/Awkward_Tradition [link] [comments]

An update on my begginner developer life. Posted: 27 Aug 2021 04:55 PM PDT I had a post like maybe 10 months ago, you can check it on my profile, I am too lazy to give you a link. So I got an internship after two months since I finished the bootcamp and I'm hyped to see what's next. So this is how my first two days went as a Full Stack .Net intern. Cause I'm a dumb idiot I was almost late on my first day, but somehow I got there on time... That was stressful, fucking stupid. So I get there and they give me a laptop, the dev-ops guy comes, logs me to the server and gives me the source code. No developers are in the office so other people show me the app and the boss tells me to check out the code. I sit down and look at this overwhelming huge project and I'm bamboozled. I spent couple of hours trying to figure what the hell is going on. I ask the boss what to do next since I thought they were going to be giving me some tasks. He tells me that the devs are on a mini sprint and are preparing to deploy so I wont be receiving any tasks and to just try to understand the code. I was like ok, and did that. Second day was basically the same. I'm guessing that they had to finish by today, so I was just reading some documentation on things I never ran into during the bootcamp that were in the project. I still pretty much have no idea how the whole project works, I just hope someone will explain at least something on Monday and that I will have something to do. I want to thank everyone here, this community has given me lots of motivation to keep pushing. We just got to grind, learn and keep our heads up. Good times are coming. If I made it this far, you all will. I just hope I can turn this into a career. Wish me luck and love to all! submitted by /u/blaify [link] [comments]

access array beyond allocated space Posted: 27 Aug 2021 06:04 PM PDT I'm watching CS50x and they've shown that it's possible to print the value of something beyond the allocated space for an array, but they did so using their "custom" data type (string). I'm quite sure I suck at explaining so let me show you: #include <stdio.h> #include <cs50.h> int main(void) { string word = "Hello"; char word2[5] = "Hello"; printf("Beyond 'Hello': %i\n", word[6]); printf("Beyond 'Hello': %i\n", word2[6]); } Hopefully now you understand what I'm talking about. I thought "well, maybe 'string' allocates one more space for the null character and that's it" but I can also print what's in word[7] and every other location for that matter, whereas the program won't even compile if I try to print word2[6]. Would anyone mind explaining me why? If you want to know why I need to see past allocated space, it's because I'm trying to create an array and then print it, but the array should be 5 letters and printf is printing weird characters after it, so I figured its because declaring an array of size n doesn't automatically put the null character at array[n] (or does it?) so I wanted to check before expanding my array and manually adding the NULL character. submitted by /u/RodLema [link] [comments]

Do you think leetcode improves your problem solving abilities (NOT programming ability)? Posted: 27 Aug 2021 09:35 PM PDT I am interested in improving my general problem solving abilities, rather than programming. Do you think that leetcode is better suited for that goal rather than working on personal larger scale software projects? submitted by /u/Okmanl [link] [comments]

When should you use asserts in production code paths? Instead of throwing or returning an error. Posted: 27 Aug 2021 07:49 PM PDT Honestly never really got the point of asserts in like a normal method but I'd love to know when to use it best. For example I think they are removed during compilation submitted by /u/daldalgi [link] [comments]

Data structure courses Posted: 27 Aug 2021 11:42 AM PDT What are the best data structure courses available on the internet on websites like udemy? Thanks in advance! (C/C++ is definitely preferred) submitted by /u/Legitimate_Ability81 [link] [comments]

I'm feeling too good about myself Posted: 27 Aug 2021 03:23 PM PDT literally only my 2nd day learning programming. Only finished about 2hrs of a freecodecamp tutorial, understood almost everything, feeling really "smart". i KNOW that's not good. I have motivation, amd that's great, but i feel like i'm just being too cocky with myself. That's not a good thing, right? Am i taking things too easy? Put me back in my place, please! submitted by /u/GotYeeted [link] [comments]

[Python] Using Lambda to interact with HTTP endpoint, save response to JSON in S3 Posted: 27 Aug 2021 08:28 PM PDT I'm diving into Python and have a concept of a problem which I'd like to solve. Trouble is, I'm not advanced enough to know where to get started, or if I have all of the elements defined to accomplish what I'd like to! ​ Here's what I'm thinking: I have a series of JSON objects in an S3 bucket, and I want to write a piece of Python code to apply to each of them in a S3 Batch Operation. It will apply the code against each of the objects 1 by 1. Here's a visual outline of what I'm trying to accomplish The three main things I think I need the code to do: "Read" the JSON file from S3 Fetch the order number from the given JSON object Using that order number, and some env variables, interact with a HTTP endpoint and receive a response No parsing of the response body is needed: If error, log error If success, the responsebody should get saved as a JSON file in a new S3 location My questions: Am I missing any concepts that need built into the Lamba function/Python file to accomplish my goal? To date, I have studied with guides and templates, and staring at the blank page for code is daunting. I am trying to break this problem into smaller, solvable parts. Is the above outline (three main things) essentially also the structure of the Python document I'll be building? ie: Set variables Declare object to later store the JSON in Fetch order number from original S3 object Interact with HTTP endpoint Store response I am familiar with needing to import packages and think I'll need at least (1) JSON parser (2) HTTP (3) a package that interacts with the API and (4) AWS S3 packages. are there others I need to think about? submitted by /u/Otherwise_Ad_4517 [link] [comments]

Copying code Posted: 27 Aug 2021 09:30 AM PDT Do you guys copy code? I mean not copy and paste it but watch other code and type it out yourself? submitted by /u/thegreatone998 [link] [comments]

Need some clarification and definition on persistent messaging related to storing information Posted: 27 Aug 2021 11:20 PM PDT I'm doing an assignment and one of the requirement is to store the search results to a database asynchronously by using persistent messaging. I get what it means to run asynchronously but I'm confused on how messages can even be stored to a database asynchronously with just native languages (nodejs, express and mongoDB). I'm not even sure why the assignment is asking me to asynchronously store search results to a database because search results get queried one at a time so there isn't really a need for an asynchronous store to the DB. submitted by /u/danii956 [link] [comments]

The odin project Nodejs vs ROR path for Startup? Posted: 27 Aug 2021 11:16 PM PDT I don't want to get a job, just build projects I have in my mind? Which path would be better for me? An which one is easier? submitted by /u/aaviSTAR [link] [comments]

How do I develop problem-solving skills and logic? Posted: 27 Aug 2021 06:43 PM PDT I have been learning Python for about 10 days now and did some basic exercises like printing a pyramid, number guessing game, etc. I looked up online and saw there are other pyramid patterns that you can print such as right-aligned, symmetrical, and so on. And I am unable to think how to go about solving them. And feeling kinda stuck. (This is just an example) What can I do to go about developing logic so that I can solve problems. Eventually I want to focus on Leetcode and Hacker rank. (I have been told to focus on these websites as companies evaluate you on the profiles on these websites) Also, when I'm practicing loops and if-else statements, I make silly mistakes such as using the opposite condition. Is this a normal phenomenon in a programmer's life? submitted by /u/saultaw90 [link] [comments]

Do I need boot camp? Posted: 27 Aug 2021 06:38 PM PDT Hi guys. I have a dilemma. I have bachelor's degree in economics in my home country. Now I live in the USA and I want to change my line of work and start a career in IT. I want to become a software engineer or web developer. What is the best way? Go to college and get a master in computer science, or go to a boot camp? Is it possible to find a job without a specialized education and without a boot camp? For example, if I take courses on Udemy, freecodecamp, coursera. submitted by /u/wowtasia [link] [comments]

Why it is adding -4 in 17th and 18th line Posted: 27 Aug 2021 10:16 PM PDT I have a doubt in this part taken from Eloquent JavaScript. The code is given in this gist; Can anyone tell why there is -4 in 17th and 18th line even though it works fine without it. submitted by /u/Valoruz [link] [comments]

Using the python command in the windows command prompt Posted: 27 Aug 2021 09:19 PM PDT I'm trying to install pygame, but I need to use the python command, but instead of just letting me use the python command it sends me to the windows store. I have it installed on the P.C from the python website and use it very frequently, but it still just brings me to the Windows store. how do I make it actually use the python command? submitted by /u/crunchycappucino [link] [comments]

Trying to find the website that teaches hands-on CSS! Posted: 27 Aug 2021 03:18 PM PDT This website starts with very simple HTML and builds upon it using CSS. As you go through the steps, the site updates it's design while teaching the corresponding CSS simultaneously. So it's an embodiment of learning while doing. For the love of my life, I cannot find it. I wish I had bookmarked it. My friend needs to learn HTML/CSS and I thought that would be the best place to start. Can someone help me find it? submitted by /u/edutainment123 [link] [comments]

Typescript vs. Javascript Posted: 27 Aug 2021 05:10 PM PDT When looking at what my area wants in a front end developer, three things come up. Typescript React AWS (practioner or devops) Should I focus on doing Typescript instead of JavaScript? At this point I haven't even looked at it as I don't want to confuse myself while learning the basics. I am only about to finish my first week of learning programming. submitted by /u/ImACoolerDadThanYou [link] [comments]

Unity gamedev beginner study partner Posted: 27 Aug 2021 11:30 AM PDT Hello. Me and one other person have started learning gamedev with Unity for fun and experience.
