    Coding is only fun when I understand it. learn programming


    Coding is only fun when I understand it.

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 03:26 PM PDT

    I'm exhausted. I know this is probably a universal feeling but I'm so tired of understanding coding and then not understanding it. I am having such a hard time with C# / Java and I absolutely dread it. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I'm falling apart.

    Edit: Thank you all so much for the wonderful replies! You have all helped me relax a little more tonight. When I posted this, I was in the middle of a severe panic attack. I feel a little more grounded now and I will continue to look back at this thread for support when I need it. I am responding to everyone as fast as I can. Thank you again and have a wonderful day tomorrow!

    Starting a job in 3 days that requires JavaScript. I know zero JavaScript. How should I make the most of the next 3+ days?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 01:20 AM PDT

    The title sounds silly but here's the situation.

    I've been hired in a QA position. I have experience in QA and manual testing, zero in automation. The job is automation focused. The main tools I have zero experience in are JavaScript, Node.js, Cucumber, Selenium, Selenoid.

    I know basic, beginner level Python. I need a good month or two and some larger projects under my belt before I'd say I'm adequate in Python. I also know basic HTML.

    I have never worked with JavaScript. The hiring managers know this and I was open about my lack of skills in this area; they hired me for other skills with the expectation that I get up to speed quickly.

    The current plan is a beginner's crash course in JavaScript from Udemy that can be pumped out in a day or two (all syntax, no real projects or advanced features). Other than that, I expect to just look at a few tutorials in the other programs and hope for the best.

    Any advice for what I can do in the next 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months to not crash and burn?

    Edit: Day one. I can now do a basic FizzBuzz for all integers up to a given number. Syntax all makes sense. Except for truthy and falsy, what the fuck is that?

    Plan to introduce myself to Selenium soon.

    What else is there besides Front/Back End Dev?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 10:15 PM PDT

    I'm sorry if my question doesn't make a lot of sense, English is not my first language but I'm trying to understand more about what's out there.

    I'm currently taking an online course for web development because a friend of mind offered me the opportunity to help him in his company (web dev) since I'm interested in learning programming.

    I've only been studying for 2 weeks so I don't really understand a lot, from what I'm seeing right now front-end is about what the user sees on his browser with the help of languages like HTML, CSS, Javascript and Ruby(I think??). For back-end I haven't seen anything yet but I think it has to do with managing data like user's input and a lot more things and sure (I think they can use Python and SQL)

    But what else is there? Like what does exactly does someone who is not on web dev, what is a software engineer? What does someone who works on Waze for example does? What languages do they use? What about video games? How does the mechanics of a game are created, do they use this same languages?

    Sorry if this isn't the place I'm just interested in learning what else I can learn.

    Are tutorials intentionally vague or what? Can't get past setting up an environment too often.

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 05:24 AM PDT

    I'm trying to learn full stack JS, hit a similar bump with PHP so I switched.

    What is with the vagueness of these tutorials?

    Differences between pushing projects via git and upload files to Github

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 11:59 PM PDT

    I can't seem to find a lot of answers on the differences between these two. All I know is that one lets you track the changes but the other one does so as well. I've been using the latter because it is convenient, and once I made changes to the code, I can just edit the code of that file on GitHub and commit it. In other words, I don't have to pull out Git Bash and do all that when GitHub already provided that feature, plus, I can conveniently write external descriptions. May I know what exactly are the differences between the two?

    Tips for learning PHP?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 09:04 PM PDT

    My company wants to update a few aspects of one of our less-trafficked sites that uses PHP/MySQL. Problem is, there are no longer any PHP devs left on my team. I volunteered for the work because I've done some MySQL work in the past and think I could pick up PHP quickly - my primary languages are JavaScript and C#. Any PHP vets out there have any tips for starting with the language and the Laravel framework? Thanks!

    To the people who went from Python and learned C++, what are some things I should expect to come across?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 05:39 AM PDT

    Currently my college chose to teach us Python and I have decided to stick to it until I have "mastered" the use of the language mainly because I don't think it would be a smart decision to try and learn both Python and C++ simultaneously, but the summer prior to college I have seen that C++ is something that I would want to learn. Other comments in the subreddit seem to agree that learning C++ first would've been better but now I'm curious to hear from the people that have done Python first before C++. What are the "hurdles" of coming from what seems to be thought of as an easier language to learn when going on to C++? Are there things you wish that you would've known beforehand? If it wasn't apparent this is my first experience with programming, sorry in advance if this seems a bit out there.

    Developer career second degree worth it?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 04:54 PM PDT

    I am planning a change of careers to web development but don't know if I need to study another degree first? I have an BSc in Landscape Architecture which is obviously design related and covered quite a lot of Adobe and other graphic programs.

    I plan to teach myself programming (HTML/CSS etc etc) but do I need to study a CS degree to be able to get a junior job? I was looking at the distance learning degree from the OU ( Q62 | BSc (Hons) Computing and IT | Open University )but at 4-6 years long and around £16,000 it seems like maybe it's not worth that much investment in time and money compared to say learning myself and then making lots of projects to show?

    I'm excited

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 10:02 AM PDT

    Just as my title says I'm pretty excited.

    I've been a long-time lurker, but have only recently started actually using Reddit. After struggling for a few years with mental health, and feeling lost after graduating with a degree in a field I thought I was passionate about but became burnt-out and disinterested in, I just wanted to share how I'm feeling.

    I say I'm excited because I think I may have found something that I both enjoy as a hobby, while also having the opportunity to turn into a fulfilling and pretty lucrative career. I'm excited because I get to live in an age where all the information I need to be successful is literally at the tips of my fingers thanks to probably one of the greatest inventions of humanity, the internet. I'm there is a community like this aspiring folk such as myself can turn to when we are feeling lost, looking for motivation or inspiration. I've only been messing with actually trying to mess with programming for about a month or two, but I already feel encouraged by the number of new things I've learned to do with a pc. Not to mention how enjoyable it feels to actually solve some sort of problem, be it with software, code, or otherwise.

    Maybe I'm just in some sort of honeymoon phase and I'll eventually tire of this, or get frustrated and disappointed and move on to something else. I hope I'm wrong and I can actually make something out of this, but we'll see.

    What's the difference between returning a reference and returning an iterator?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 09:01 PM PDT

    I was doing some reading about C and talking about some vector functions when I came across a function that returns a reference to the first element and another that returns an iterator to the first element. What's the difference between the two?

    Still struggling with C++

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 05:44 PM PDT

    So to sum it up.. I've already done C++ for 3 years now. I did two years in college alongside maybe 2-3 months of C# and a little bit of Javascript and HTML. I also just finished my first year at University and we did only C++.

    But, all my grades were mid and I feel like I know nothing. Students who were doing C++ for the first time in University understood better than me and were able to code better games, get better grades. I feel like i'll never really learn coding enough to get a secure job in it like I wanted.

    I don't want to quit Univeristy even if my heart has changed, i will finish and get my degree regardless. But, is there anyway to make the next two years more enjoyable by understanding better etc etc. I don't want to continue feeling like a bottom student and lost cause for two more years. You know?

    Thank you for reading if you finished<3

    Need Help I've been struggling with this for months!

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 11:32 PM PDT

    I'm developing a chat app where two users can talk to one another and I'm doing this with flask-socketio and React.

    I've been struggling with trying to figure out this issue I'm getting with socket.io. Here's the error connection I keep getting once in a while on the browser console:

    WebSocket connection to 'ws://127.0.0.1:5000/socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=websocket&sid=s8DKBembmWoxgGAsAAqX' failed: Insufficient resources

    I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out what's causing this error. The way I solved this was to refresh the page and the connection is then re-established. I want to find a solution to this where I don't keep being disconnected from the socket and getting the same error message. Any idea on how to do this?

    What could cause this div element get displaced when the dropdown is triggered?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 11:20 PM PDT

    There's a phone input field with a dropdown list to choose the state - and when the phone gets entered correctly a tick appears. But after you open the dropdown list the tick gets displaced.

    What could cause this and how can it be fixed? I'm guessing with some css styling but I cant figure out what

    The tick is just a div with a certain class name.

    Bootcamps? Worth it?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 07:34 PM PDT

    Im not a professional programmer but i know enough to get started, I'm torn betweeb choosing a BS in CS or going to bootcamps. I don't wanna go to school because first, its tooooo expensive, its too political now (especially the school i chose), and i dont wanna take some of those classes i wont use. Bootcamps however teach the main stuff (front end) in my case. I really feel like i can expand my web dev knowledge and hopefully land a good job. I already thinker with websites so that's a plus for me. What do y'all think? Is bootcamp worth it? And if you've been to one please, which one, which subject and what job did you land afterwards

    Thanks

    Are there any interactive textbooks anywhere from programming languages?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 11:17 PM PDT

    So I currently attend Southern New Hampshire University as a first-year Computer Science student. My first class was a Python course that used an interactive textbook via ZyBooks. After all these years of attempting to learn how to code using other methods, these interactive textbooks where I am learning while also coding what I just learned within the textbook and it being instantaneously graded. This was easily the best way I have learned how to learn any language and Python was a breeze to learn because of the interactive textbook.

    Basically what I'm asking; do any of you know a website or service where I can learn a programming language using an interactive textbook? And yes, I know of websites like Codecademy but I want an ACTUAL textbook as used in my course. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    What if I have a "class instance" how do you go about creating an instance and giving it a value?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 10:14 PM PDT

    For example,

    public static void main()

    {

    Player enemy = new Player();

    enemy.health = 30; // I get this!

    enemy.name = "Dragon"; //I get this too!

    enemy.Deck = ????? // how do I create an instance of another class instance? I am so confused.

    }

    class Player {

    public int health {get; set;};

    public string name {get; set;};

    public Deck Cards {get; set;};

    }

    class Deck {

    List<string> Cards {get; set;} = new List<string>();

    }

    New at c++ and what IDE I should use

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 06:12 PM PDT

    My professor was so bad at explaining in installing this software. I have a Samsung PC laptop and it's Windows 10 Home. I heard visual studio is good but my professor said it's not good. He recommended to install Windows MinWG and did not even show how to do it. Tomorrow, we are going to start installing the stuff that's needed and hope the professor helps. He said we could use visual studio but he doesn't recommend it. He also mentioned about using Ubuntu or Fedora which I have no idea what it's for.

    These are the best Python courses according to my data analysis (using Python)

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 08:18 AM PDT

    I used Ahrefs, a search engine optimization (SEO) analytics software, to analyze the popularity of Python courses based on traffic and links.

    This is all using Python itself to perform the analysis, which is included as a tutorial in the article. If you're interested in just see the results, there are several interesting graphs throughout that compare different offerings from the top platforms.

    https://www.learndatasci.com/best-python-courses/

    I'd be interested to know if anyone has taken one or more of the top 10 to see if the ordering actually corresponds to reality.

    Let me know what you think! If you're getting starting in Python and/or data analysis, feel free to ask questions about the code. If you find inaccuracies or believe changes, additions, etc. should be addressed, please let me know.

    The partition part of quicksort makes no sense to me.

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 09:16 PM PDT

    function swap(items, leftIndex, rightIndex){ var temp = items[leftIndex]; items[leftIndex] = items[rightIndex]; items[rightIndex] = temp; } function partition(items, left, right) { var pivot = items[Math.floor((right + left) / 2)], //middle element i = left, //left pointer j = right; //right pointer while (i <= j) { while (items[i] < pivot) { i++; } while (items[j] > pivot) { j--; } if (i <= j) { swap(items, i, j); //sawpping two elements i++; j--; } } return i; } function quickSort(items, left, right) { var index; if (items.length > 1) { index = partition(items, left, right); //index returned from partition if (left < index - 1) { //more elements on the left side of the pivot quickSort(items, left, index - 1); } if (index < right) { //more elements on the right side of the pivot quickSort(items, index, right); } } return items; }
