    My career change journey at 30 learn programming

    My career change journey at 30 learn programming


    My career change journey at 30

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 06:58 AM PDT

    I am a 30 years old Asian, married, and a father with one child from a poor/developing country.

    I worked as a Senior Manager in the Business Management role in the IT sector for over 7 years.

    And then one day my country has this shitty military coup/political conflict and businesses are closing down, all the prices are sky high and almost everyone has to give up with their business.

    I have to deal with anxiety disorder followed up by the political conflict within the country.

    I researched about midlife crisis and career-changing at 30 and decided to rebuild myself as a developer and I found about "The Odin Project" as I found massive positive reviews about this project.

    So.....cut to the chase....this is my "Day 1" of midlife career-changing process and I will keep it updated within this thread. So that if someone is in the same situation as me or someone who is trying to start a programming career at 30, he (or) she can have a picture to imagine what's the career-changing process looks like at 30.

    I want to say this to all who have hard times in their career journey and feel like it is the end, "NOTHING IS TOO LATE AND WE ALWAYS HAVE TIME TO CHANGE"

    I hope my article may be helpful to those who are needed.

    Learning alone can be isolating - Discord communities?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 04:23 PM PDT

    I'm self-teaching and, while I'm having tons of fun building out projects and following tutorials, it would be really cool if there was a collective of like-minded people.

    Does anyone know of a solid discord or slack community I could become a contributing member of?

    I'm thinking of a place where I could ask questions, or collaborate with other similarly-skilled beginners on projects.

    Cheers!

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 11:46 PM PDT

    I am so nervous! 😬😬😬

    It's only my second interview ever since I'm started looking for jobs.

    I have no experience.

    Edit: I know React.js very well, I've done a couple of projects with it.

    Are clones of websites perfectly fine for portfolio and/or github projects to show off to potential employers?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 10:24 PM PDT

    Hi guys,

    Are clones of websites perfectly fine for portfolio and/or github projects to show off to potential employers? (Front end development specifically)

    I have a really solid understanding of HTML and CSS and can pretty much replicate any website/design given to me (can add necessary javascript for interactivity as well). There are quite a few really aesthetically pleasing websites that i would love to recreate and post on github to show to future employers but just wondering if clones of websites would be looked down upon since they arent my own unique designs and ideas. All code would be mine however.

    What do you guys think? Are clones 'worthy' enough for github and/or portfolio projects or does it really have to be your own unique website/design. Again, all code would be mine (so no tutorials, just eyeballing the site and recreating it by myself) which should show competency in HTML and CSS

    Thanks for any advice I can get, greatly appreciated!

    Can anyone help me understand arrays like this? I’ve been staring and poking at this problem for an hour!

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 08:44 PM PDT

    List - [6, 3, 4, 8, 3, 3,] given a array of nums, write a function to move all the 3's to the front of the list while maintains the relative order of the rest of the numbers

    I've had different suggestions give out to me but so far I have tried to do it difference ways one way being

    List [6, 3, 4, 8, 3, 3] i = [ ] for i in range [0:-1]

    But I'm stuck on where to move forward!

    For those of you with a chromebook interested in MOOC's Java course:

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 06:25 PM PDT

    If you tried to install TMCBeans using the instructions for Linux listed on their site, I'm sure you would've ran into some trouble like myself. After scouring around the internet and running into problem after problem, I managed to gather a list of commands to get TMCBeans up and running on your device.

    First enable the Linux environment, and then use the following commands:

    sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

    sudo apt install -y libsquashfuse0 squashfuse fuse snapd

    sudo snap install --classic tmcbeans

    sudo chmod 755 /

    sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk

    And finally, the command you'll use to open TMCBeans each time:

    snap run tmcbeans

    I'm not used to Linux, so I'm unsure if there's a way to create a desktop icon for TMCBeans, but nevertheless, these instructions should get you ready for the course, especially if you're on a Pixelbook.

    Happy trails!

    [Webdev] Background image jumps and stretches when adress bar and bottom bar disappears/reappears. (Mobile device only)

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 09:57 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I'm working on my first website and so far I could Google everything I needed when I ran into a problem but I'm at a loss here.

    I'm using only html and css so far, hope this can be fixed with css but if there is only a JS solution I will try it.

    After making the index page on desktop I realised its going to look bad on portrait mode so I found a quick fix (used only on first picture so far until I fix this issue) and surely enough I ran into this.

    If the issue is not clear: when you scroll down any page on mobile browser, the adress bar and bottom nav bar (if your browser has it) disappears as to not get in the view. This makes the image stretch and jump everytime the bars reappear as well because I used height: 100vh; to fill the whole screen with the photo.

    Any help appreciated.

    What does it mean to "Know AWS"?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 09:29 PM PDT

    So I've been looking around for internships, and I've seen some companies put AWS as one of their requirements. So what exactly does that mean? Cause as far as I know AWS has so many features.

    I made a super simple fraction calculator in Java. I am having trouble with objects.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 08:57 PM PDT

    Everything I did was a part of my assignment. However, I want to go above and beyond because I feel like it will genuinely be something I should be able to do in the near future but I don't know how right now.

    We are currently doing a Java refresher assignment as you can see. The instructions say do not turn in a main method, the professor already has one. Just make a temp main method for testing. So yeah technically I am done and don't need to even be here but I am curious to ask...

    If I let the user start creating fractions instead of me manually giving the constructor values, how would I best do this? I return RationalNumber objects whenever a fraction operation is complete, but what do I do with them in a program where the user has a menu and can choose options and such?

    Sorry if it's unclear, if so I will try to reword what I am saying.

    How would I create a grid using only structures and pointers (C language).

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 06:44 PM PDT

    Hello, I am pretty new to C programming (taught myself it a few weeks ago). I have been pretty confused about pointers for whatever reason. I get the basics of pointers but when it starts getting advanced I get lost. Anyways I do not want to get into too much detail, as this is for a school project. Say I have a struct defined as the following:

    Struct grid{ char data; struct grid *up; struct grid *down; //rest doesn't really matter just different directions }

    I need to make a grid of what I assume is of (name.data) where name is the name of my struct grid variable. I can only use pointers and the struct. I assume I need to use malloc, but the pointers for the directions are just so confusing for me, and the nested structures are just as confusing. The point of the directions is that a user can input what direction they want to go in the grid and how many spaces etc. Also the grid is a set 6x6.

    I guess my point is, how should I use malloc to go about making this grid. All I need is just one statement I don't want too much info as I really want to learn.

    Fastest way to learn everything I need to know to start applying for jobs?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 03:55 PM PDT

    I've just completed cs50 which was difficult and I learnt a lot, but I noticed there weren't many practical skills, it was mostly teaching how to problem solve / "The Art Of Coding" etc.

    I'm currently unemployed after losing my job (covid) in the charity sector, and have decided to retrain as a Backend Developer. I really want to get employed ASAP!!

    What do you think is the fastest way to learn enough in Backend (or full-stack, idc) engineering to start applying for junior developer positions?

    What is the general consensus on the Backend Career Path from Codecademy Pro?

    Class Hierarchies in C++ Using Dynamically-Sized Array

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 11:48 PM PDT

    Hi everyone, I just started my class on Data Structures. We are using C++ as our language. I am very new to this language, started learning it a week ago.

    My first task is this: Construct a class hierarchy for people on a college campus. Include faculty, staff, and students.

    The objective is: To use dynamically-sized array and OOP concepts to create class hierarchies in C++

    How do I start with this? What do I exactly need to do when they said create class hierarchy then apply dynamically-sized array?

    Sorry for being so much noob.

    Python tkinter: make Entry widget lose focus after I click off of it?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 07:59 PM PDT

    I feel like it's a very basic and taken-for-granted thing but currently no matter where I click inside the root window that little Entry widget always has focus. If you take any good software like Chrome for example; if you click off of the url bar it loses focus.

    Programing for Project Management

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 07:46 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I know you have read and give opinion in thousands of posts regarding "which program to learn", so sorry in advance for bringing a new one.

    Im a civil engineer with construction management experience. At the beginning I was a Owner's Project management; and I can tell you that job was awesome I represented the owners in the project and dealt with the GC's, banks, engineers, the city, etc. Now, I moved to another country and I do management for a subcontractor, which means I basically coordinate with the GC PM and with my team my small scope on the project and its boring as hell.

    I always wanted to manage others type of projects that might be more challenging, like software projects, but as you can Imagine its not an easy sell when all my experience is with construction; thats why Im trying to learn the basic of programming like algorithm, data structure, etc. and, of course, some programming.

    So which language you guys recommend I could learn? Remember I dont want to be a programmer for a living, I just want to learn enough programming so I can be competent and that I can show in an interview and in technical meetings that I understand what the heck they are talking about.

    Thank you in advance guys!

    List states only if a certain country is selected

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 07:17 PM PDT

    In a profile page where I'm collecting name, phone, address, I want to make the user select the country first. If for example, they pick the US, the state drop down menu will appear (normally hidden). If they pick Canada, then the provinces will appear.

    I have two tables, countries and stateprovinces. The stateprovinces has the countryID, stateID, and name.

    I'm using Bootstrap 5 but I'm not familiar with Javascript/Ajax to handle the dynamic part of it.

    Below is my HTML / PHP code. I'm able to populate the list of countries so far, but not sure how to:

    1. If US or CA is selected, show the state/province drop down
    2. Populate the state/province drop down, filtered on the country chosen

    Anyone able to help with this?

    <div class="mb-3"> <label class="form-label mb-0 fw-bold" for="country"><small>Country/Region</small></label> <select class="form-select" id="country" name="country"> <option value=""></option> <?php try { $stmt = $dbc->prepare("SELECT short_name, long_name FROM countries"); $stmt->execute(); $rows = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); foreach ($rows as $row) { print("<option value=\"" . $row["short_name"] . "\">" . $row["long_name"] . "</option>"); } } catch (PDOException $e) { } ?> </select> </div> <!-- State drop down is hidden by default until a country is selected --> <div class="d-none mb-3"> <label class="form-label mb-0 fw-bold" for="stateprovince"><small>State/Province</small></label> <select class="form-select" id="stateprovince" name="stateprovince"> <?php try { $stmt = $dbc->prepare("SELECT name FROM stateprovince WHERE countryID=?"); // I'll need to get the country ID from the value field (short_name) $stmt->bindValue(); } catch () } ?> </select>
