    Worried that current career won't last. Looking for a backup.

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 04:59 PM PDT

    I'm not sure how futureproof the job I currently have is. Along with other concerns, I have started looking to make sure I have a backup.

    I've always loved computers and liked my programming courses in high school. That was a long time ago. Anyways, I was wondering if there were any free online courses that I could take to see if I would enjoy this as a career. If I like it and could see myself moving forward with it I would take a legit class and go from there.

    Are there any free courses that someone could actually put on a resume? Or that employers or a school would take sersiously?

    Thanks

    Keeps Taking My Chair

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 09:54 PM PDT

    No joke, my boss/part-owner-of-the-company keeps booting me out of my chair to use my machine, only to Google something to find the answer.

    I'm a .NET junior dev that knows enough of the full stack to develop and deploy. That includes DB design, create, integrate. I've proven this. But every time I tell my boss/part-proprietor that I'm trying to figure something out he does exactly what I mentioned above. I feel embarrassed every time. It's right in front of the rest of the dev team.

    Is this common? Has this happened to anyone? Am I taking it too personal?

    Most common load balancing algorithm(s) used

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 09:02 PM PDT

    I was wondering for all the load balancing algorithms (round robin, least connections, weighting of some sorts, etc), what is the most widely used? Simple google search says round robin, but is it really good enough to operate at scale server performance may vary. Thoughts?

    What's the link (for wget or smth) of "Download this day as csv" on this page: https://www.cboe.com/us/options/market_statistics/?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 09:54 PM PDT

    Inspecting the element leads to a javascript event handler, a language I'm quite rusty on. I can't find a link.

    More generally, how would I find a link?

    If learn to code, what could I do with it as a hobbyist?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 09:09 PM PDT

    I'm going to self teach but already have a part time job career I enjoy so I wouldn't be able to do it full time as a career. But the fact that there is so much material out there for me to self learn, I feel like I should take advantage of the opportunity since I find it interesting. Would it be a complete waste of time if I couldn't do the job full time? How could I utilize the skills otherwise. I'm really interested but don't want to spend the time and energy if I couldn't channel it into something.

    [GIT?] Partially share App

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 08:58 PM PDT

    I have a monolithic App (written in Rails in case it matters) that contains some confidential code that cannot be shared with other parties.

    I would like to share a modified version of the App with another party (which doesn't contain the confidential code). The other party should then be able to further develop the App, and I would like to be able to merge their updates into the original Apps codebase, and vice versa.

    How would a professional software developer do this? Is Git even the right way?

    How do you handle naming conventions for entities that overlap with reserved words or software concepts?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 11:33 AM PDT

    Hey, r/AskProgramming, I've been doing fullstack development for a while, but I just wanted to reach out to see how you guys handle naming conventions for business objects that conflict with either keywords or common nouns in programming.

    In my case, I'm writing an app for a customer who wants to use the term "Client" to describe some of the visitors to his business, but the term "Client" has a different meaning and is used by other things in my code (namely HttpClients, CLIENT_ID/CLIENT_SECRET environment variables, etc). I'm thinking of just using the term "Customer" or "Visitor" in the code, and only using "Client" in the markup/frontend, but I want to avoid confusion if I come back to the project later.

    How do you suggest handling scenarios like these? I don't want to push back against the customer because "Client" is a very common business term and makes perfect sense for this user story, but at the same time I don't want to make things confusing or more difficult for myself or other devs on the project when we have to go back and fix bugs or add features.

    Seeking aid for the programming of my blogging site

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 12:01 PM PDT

    Good morning. I'm creating a blog, and wondering which is the best way to store the content of a post in a database (MySQL, if it can be useful to know). I thought about storing all the HTML code of the page in a table column and display it in PHP (without using htmlspecialchars). The disadvantage of this strategy is that when writing a new post the author has to use the various <br>, <h1>, <p>... and it's not so clear if you're adjusting a newly released article. What do you advice? I also thought about keeping an ArticleParagraphs table with each column having a paragraph name, text... but this doesn't look efficient neither. All help is appreciated.

    I feel bad with my first job, what do I do?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 09:01 AM PDT

    Three weeks ago I got an offerd as "Junior Backend Developer with NodeJS", I couldn't be more happy, I was so glad to find my first job and excited to all the things I was going to learn. Before signing the contract I spoke with some persons of the team and they told that the whole system was made in wordpress, I worried a little about this because I have no experience in Wordpress or PHP and the offer job didn't say anything about this. Before singing the contract I spoke with the team "leader" and I said to him that I didn't have any knoweldge in Wordpress or PHP, he told me not to worry about it because I was to work in other microservices using Node or Ruby, then I accepted.

    The first week they told me that I have to develop an add-on for Google Sheets, using Apps Script (I hadn't idea of this), they just gave me the Google documentation to guide me, and I also had to do the deploy. The other two weeks they gave me the entire Wordpress code (plugins, theme, etc) and want me fix some bugs, I felt smashed because there was a lot of code and nobody to guide me,I did it as I could.

    I imagined that as a junior I wold have some guide. (I don't want them to do my work for me but I believed they would teach me how to do it). And also the guy who is the "leader" has no knowledge in the tecnologies that are using, and the other part of the team, they only work on their part and then they put everything together, there is no one monitoring the work (is remote work).

    I don't know if my concept of a junior developer is wrong that's because I'm writing this, I would love your help, I don't know what to do, I have thought to quit but I don't know if it's a good idea. I feel lost and bad. I don't think that in the future they will decide to use other technologies.

    PS: Sorry for my english is not my main lenguague and I know it's a lot of text if you are here thanks for reading.

    TLDR: I was hired as junior backend developer using nodejs, but it turned out to be a Wordpress job, now I feel lost and bad.

    Job search

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 05:44 PM PDT

    Any advice on applying for a job in web development in my current situation.

    I have an associates degree in electrical engineering and have a little bit of knowledge of c++ and html. Very basic skills.

    I want to get into a bootcamp and become a full stack developer. But the job I have currently "as a cable guy :(" is preventing me from getting work done (even as part time).

    Should I still apply for jobs relating to web development or should I try to self teach myself. Any advice would be helpful.

    Is It Possible To Encrypt Something So That You Never Have Access To It?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 07:01 AM PDT

    Lets suppose user A has some data, that I've promised them I wouldn't look at. I take their data and send it to user B, who is expecting the data.

    Is it possible to encrypt the data so that userA can send it (via me) to userB, even if they've never met prior?

    Some advice needed for Software Automation Rookies

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 08:49 AM PDT

    Greetings,

    I am a graduate engineer who just got myself a Software Engineer job in the industrial automation field one month ago. Due to project requirements and the nature of my department, the majority of the time I will be involving in PLC-based programming (Currently working on Cx-programmer & Logix 5000). Not really have much chance to involve in things other than PLC.

    I do have the intention to further enhance myself and polish my resume toward Software development in the automation field. Is there anything I can do to achieve my target? I did some homework regarding this, here is a summary of the stuff that I can work on to achieve my objective which includes:

    1. Programming certificate
    2. Open Source Contribution
    3. Programming Freelancer
    4. Personal project

    The languages I aimed to pick up:

    1. C#
    2. Java
    3. Ruby
    4. Python

    Kindly advise what should I do or prevent, why? Was the languages selection good enough? Or I should rather focus on learning other stuff rather than PC based programming, etc. Open to all kinds of suggestions.
    FYI, I do have C, C++, C#, Python, ROS experiences during my study. Not so worried about repicking them up. Also, I am new to Reddit here, so please kinda point me out if my post violent any of the rules, or maybe the question suit well in other community. I will delete it immediately if needed.

    Thanks in advance.

    How do help-desk tools store the email password?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 12:01 PM PDT

    Hello,

    We are trying to build a help-desk systems that allows user's to connect to their email from their browser. We then want to show the current emails of the user in a web app and also allow the user to send emails. So it's something similar to Zendesk.

    When I connect my email account Zendesk they mention that my account information is encrypted and not shared with 3rd parties. Does that mean they are storing an encrypted version of my email password? They have to be able to decrypt it so that they can reconnect to the SMTP server, don't they? This doesn't sound secure.

    We could ask our customers to connect to their email account every time they sign into their account and then sync the emails every time, but that sounds pretty slow.

    What is the best practice to implement such a web based help desk system for emails?

    Thanks

    VUE code for RPG Character Generator

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 02:17 PM PDT

    Hello, I am trying to build a character generator like you see on skyrim or any other number of RPG / 3P shooters. I'd like to be able to pick attriubutes, draw them out, and then have the user be able to select different heads, arms, weapons, etc. Are there any prebuilt programs out there to get started on that? I have looked for tutorials and am not finding much.

    It doesn't have to be VUE but I have been learning that and JS so I'd like it to be familiar so I can tweak it.

    Thanks!

    What do you guys think of this course and path?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 02:13 PM PDT

    Hi all. Recently got into learning about some IT and then got into a program that is helping me learn to get work as a Java developer or etc. However I need to find my sources to learn myself. I found this course and thought it looked genuine and well thought out.

    https://www.udemy.com/course/java-programming-tutorial-for-beginners/

    Then supplementing this with SoloLearn.

    I also plan to get my Comptia A+ as well at some point unless it becomes unnecessary for my career path

    What are some good resources on automated API testing?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 01:55 PM PDT

    I developed my first API that other people use, and I have learned a lot in the process, e.g. OpenAPI3 specs and the importance of good documentation. A topic that I still struggle with are tests: My code is often coupled with other code (e.g. I need a company to exist to create a user) and I have been stumbling over questions such as "Do I use my production code to create a company to be able to test users? Or do I rewrite production logic in the test? Or do I mock everything (loads of work)?".

    What are some resources where I can learn about best practices for software testing in general or specific to APIs? I am looking for online resources prefereably, but a book would also be ok. Not looking for courses or certifications.

    How do I go about learning basic Machine Learning for my final year project?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 04:23 AM PDT

    Hey, So I got maybe a month before I need to start my final year project or whatnot. I figure I should get to learning machine learning on some level as that's what my project will try to focus on. I have some experience with coding in C++, matlab and so forth. However I wouldn't say I'm very confident. My degree is aerospace engineering so I'm thinking I could allocate bout 6 hrs a week or so in learning. How do I go about this. Any websites or so that would help speed up the process of learning?

    Need suggestion creating a Form with file upload feature

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 10:29 AM PDT

    Hey,

    I am rookie in programming. I only have basic programming skill, so looking for some suggestions on how to go about it.

    I want to create a custom form with text data and file upload. The user will fill in the data and upload the file. User will enter data for multiple people. Now the text data and file will be saved in a database. Later the user should be able to search the database for the person, see the old entered data/file and edit the form again , also resubmit it with additional data.

    Now as i understand I need to do the following: Form (HTML / PHP) database (MySql)

    Would this be sufficient or am I missing anything?

    Appreciate all the help !! Thanks!!
