Finished my first project after a month learning python!! Posted: 05 Oct 2021 08:38 PM PDT Im just super excited and proud of myself for my accomplishment. It might be a silly project but i managed to scrape some crypto data on an hourly loop from a website and insert it into a database in mysql adding hourly and daily variations to it. :))) thanks r/learnprogramming [link] [comments] |
Felt on top of the world but feel like I’m back at square one Posted: 05 Oct 2021 02:10 AM PDT I've been teaching myself how to code for the better part of 8 months now and have tried to stay as consistent as possible. I felt unstoppable.. until I participated in a hackathon this past weekend. My group built a fullstack website and I struggled to even keep up to the point where I wouldn't even consider myself as part of the group. Since it's been over the imposter syndrome has been kicking my ass. Any advice to help me get back on my feet? [link] [comments] |
I feel like a total noob at my internship Posted: 05 Oct 2021 08:27 AM PDT I got to intern with a startup as a full stack developer ,and I know nothing. React ,Cloudflare ,Typescript.... I feel overwhelmed as this is my first time working on web development .Is this normal? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 05 Oct 2021 01:35 PM PDT A little background, I live in San Francisco yet my family is extremely low income (undgrad student, parents make under 40k combined). I cannot afford tutoring like most of my peers. I was not able to go to UC Berkeley or any other UC because of costs. This semester is so much harder because my professor at my local community college is way better than my old professors... (He is actually one of the creators of Rust! What's he doing teaching at CC?) Instead of suffering poor grades, I am actually literally tutoring classmates who need help. The reason is because I have the amazing resource of the r/learn programming/java communities! I can't count the number of times someone has pointed out something I could change, something I could learn, etc. Which has made me a really strong student in my class. I think part of the reason is I ask all my dumb questions here so I feel very well versed when we have class. I even met someone here who works as a SWE yet invited me to a replit where he pointed stuff out to me! Thanks Ben, captainAwesomePants, lightcloud5, desertfx, and everyone else who say my string of posts and patiently helped me through every. singly. time! [link] [comments] |
Rant. Noob. Simple solutions are pissing me off Posted: 05 Oct 2021 03:46 PM PDT Just got a job in front end development. My first tech job I have spent so many fucking hours reinstalling and uninstalling software that works in one place and not another ONLY to discover that if I would simple reboot my computer or simple close the VS code window and reopen it again everything would work perfectly. I will spend hours researching solutions on stack overflow and any where for that matter to get a solution to my problem, and it so frustrating to me that the solution many times, not just with installing software, but even coding itself, and ANY PROBLEM can basically be boiled down to flipping a switch on and off?!?! Is it because Im new that I over think things?? I guess so. Im so upset at the simplicity of solving some basic issues and i KNOW I shouldn't be. At this point im just screaming into the void. Feel free to leave any advice on how I can stop over thinking things. [link] [comments] |
My experience in trying to understand this quote given in a "how to think like a programmer" article Posted: 05 Oct 2021 08:08 PM PDT I began writing everything below this line as a post asking for help to understand what the below quote meant. I was disappointed in myself for not understanding the quote, even though I thought I thoroughly understood the article. It was quickly becoming fuel for my new-to-programming-fears-of-inadequacy! Then a thing happened. While trying to write out the question as clearly as possible so that internet haters didn't get mad, I inadvertently used the method of "programmer problem solving" described in the article. The method I was so sure I understood, but I obviously hadn't actually been using. This is all very "me" focused, but I think the little scrap of wisdom I learned here that maybe some other new learners might appreciate is that we're ultimately learning how to problem solve. Every time we feel like idiots we should remember that we're likely feeling that way because we're trying to take shortcuts or jump to easy answers. We're working to become methodical problem solvers, so when we get stuck, let's step back and break things down, step by tedious step. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I'm reading How To Think Like a Programmer by Richard Reis on FreeCodeCamp, and there is a simple sounding quote which I'm struggling to understand. I mean, truly understand so that I might be able to explain it to someone else (which is after all the point of this article).
I don't actually understand the better solution provided in this quote. Here is where I'm at;

Posted: 05 Oct 2021 08:37 PM PDT Did you guys apply to positions asking for a CS degree without having one? Also, Did you guys apply to positions that required experience but didn't have any? If so, how did it go? Did you get a position somewhere? [link] [comments] |
What made you want to master the programming language that you mostly use? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 04:49 PM PDT Hi I am a student and only about 8 months from graduation and just to decide some thing about what direction I want me career to go. So I'm wondering what made everyone else choose what they did. [link] [comments] |
Don't Encapsulation and Inheritance Directly Contradict One Another??? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 07:30 PM PDT I never really thought about it last year when I was taking my introductory OOP & Data Structures course in college (still a college student) but these are two of the "principles of OOP" and they seem to be at odds. I mean if encapsulation means that you "hide"/privatize local data within a class such that other classes and outside methods cannot access them, then the concept of inheritance, which lets a class inherit methods and attributes from another class, would seemingly break that concept, no? They can and do exist simultaneously I suppose, but it feels like a bit of a questionable co-existence [link] [comments] |
How do I possibly spark love for programming/making with teenagers (14 & 16) Posted: 05 Oct 2021 10:56 AM PDT I teach Scratch & micro-bit (also with Python) for a CoderDojo in Belgium, mostly kids between 8 and 12. Last Sunday I got the request from a woman that volunteers to helps refugees in Belgium if we can get 2 teenagers (14 and 16) interested in coding/technology. These teenagers are refugees and currently feel unwanted, mainly since everything that they have to learn (such as the Dutch language), they learn with a lot of small children, which makes them feel dumb/unmotivated to learn, which I can understand. The father of the boys of course want a good future for his kids, and I would love to see them pick an interest in something so they can get a decent job, live a happy life, instead of "playing on their phone constantly". The issue is that I basically have 2 hours to show them why programming or making stuff (eg. with arduino) is interesting, but I have little knowledge on how to do this with teenagers, and this is where I can use some assistance. My thought was to start with showing a bunch of branches that programming can lead to, such as game dev, robotics, app dev, ... to hopefully show them what is possible. Other then that I would like to know they are interested in, and go from there the next time. I know that the oldest son loves cars, but I don't know anything about the youngest. [link] [comments] |
I've been learning C from the classic K&B book but i just can't get this example program working! Posted: 05 Oct 2021 04:57 PM PDT I'm at chapter 1.5.4 Word Counting and there's this program that's supposed to count and print lines, words and characters in the input: For some reason i'm not getting any output. And yes, i have tried copying from the pdf and that one didn't work either.. Can you tell me what is wrong? [link] [comments] |
Looking for Java Course on Coursera -- CS Related Posted: 05 Oct 2021 11:48 PM PDT I'm looking for a java course (preferably in Coursera or Udemy) to help me prepare for my next semester in university. My university course will be an OOP course / intro to programming (2nd course in sequence) using Java (First one was in Python). I realize, this might be a frequently asked question, but I'm specifically looking for the CS related courses and not just the intro to programming ones. Would appreciate all feedback. Thank you very much. Side note: Courses where I get to do alot of projects are the best [link] [comments] |
How can many different crons be stored and executed efficiently? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 11:13 PM PDT I'd like to write an app for a niche area I'm involved in that allows people to schedule recurring emails. However, I'm not sure how to build the backend for such a thing. Can crontab be used in production? Is it recommended? Would I need to maintain machines with puppet or ansible or something like that?

What Kind of Programmer Do I Want To Be? (Field of Study or Work Title) Posted: 05 Oct 2021 07:10 PM PDT I'm learning C# for Unity. I've always wanted to make video games but I also want to make general software. I'm not sure of what fields of study I should look into. "C# Programming" and "Computer Programmer" are pretty broad in their own right. There's a thing with Uber Drive and ASU for a free Associates degree that I want to try for to change my career path. Among the things I want to make are: · Augmented Reality motion capture/photogrammetry with figures · Virtual HID that uses and combines input from 2 or more physical HID · A custom physical controller (XInput, likely?) Based on the things I want to eventually make, what should I study? I already have an Associates in Art that covers my maths up to Pre-Calc, if that helps any. [link] [comments] |
Thing like a webservice with an API but on the PC? What should I be googling? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 10:53 PM PDT I think I just need to know what terms to look up. I know how to run a thing as a process in Windows and I can pass information to and from it by saving a file which it looks at, and then it saves a file which the main program looks at (and I'm pretty sure that's not how the professionals do it anyway, can someone tell me about that?) And then it takes time to shut the thing down and restart it every time the main program wants it done. And this is going to get worse if I want the program providing the service to have state. What I'd like is some way for a main program to start up an instance of a subsidiary program and then say, and stay awake and pay attention on this channel for my further instructions as to how to update your state, or to give me back some data, or, when I'm actually done with you, turn yourself off. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
Simple Python Problem: How to stop the loop using user's input? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 07:06 PM PDT Hello! How can I make the program stop asking for the numbers when the user entered the number 0 (zero?) Here's my code so far, but it's wrong because when I entered 0 on the fourth line, it still keeps asking for number to enter. I know the placement of my if userInput == 0: break is wrong, but I am lost where to put them in order to make the program correct. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 05 Oct 2021 07:05 PM PDT There are many materials online when it comes to concepts or coding but I can't seem to find a guide or courses that would actually help me design project. Sometimes I find myself designing and then coding only to redo it again because I have no idea how to start. I have been mainly learning Web Development for now but whenever I looked at public repositories of projects written in Python (I learned oop python), I don't understand the way they structured the files. As for now, the only way I'm learning is by reading public repo's codes even though I don't understand half of them. Anyone knows a better way of doing things? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
Posted: 05 Oct 2021 11:21 AM PDT I'm self taught, do PHP mainly. I'm looking to get start employment as a PHP dev but don't have any experience working on larger scale projects in a team. How, in a practical sense, is developing in a team different to working on your own and is there anything I can learn to help myself adapt quicker? [link] [comments] |
How long did it take you to get a programming related job after you began learning? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 10:34 PM PDT Just out of curiosity. I've been learning for the last 7 months now and I'm wondering if my pace is too slow. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 05 Oct 2021 06:00 AM PDT I am looking at expanding into app development in my spare time atm i am a Junior Software dev specialising in C# & .NET with some knowledge of web tools ( HTML,CSS,JS,PHP) I know a small amount of JS but not loads so with either one I'd have to learn Javascript / Dart. if im looking at creating apps, do i go for Flutter or React-Native. EDIT: This is for my personal knowledge and not for the company i work for ATM [link] [comments] |
Having difficulty learning JavaScript Posted: 05 Oct 2021 03:32 PM PDT Hi, just started on a bachelor's degree in artificial intelligence and I'm finding it quite difficult to wrap my head around subjects like JavaScript and MySQL. Do you guys have any tips or something related? I know consistency is key, but I just can't seem to figure it out. It doesn't click in my head. Appreciate all the help I can get! [link] [comments] |
[C] need help with Midterm Practice questions Posted: 05 Oct 2021 09:03 PM PDT
Q1). What is value of super->myInt at checkpoint B? My Answer: 2 Q2). What is the value ofsuper->myDouble at Checkpoint B? My Answer : 4.0 Q3). What is the value ofsuper->myChar at Checkpoint B? My Answer: 'A' Q4). What is the value ofsuper->myInt at Checkpoint A? Ans: 1 Q5). Do the functions modifySuperVar and modifySuperPtr do the same thing? Why or why not? No they dont do the same thing, modifySuperVar changes the value of the variable. modifySuperPtr changes the /increases the pointer everytime by moving it that many bytes. Does it seem right? please help! thank you! [link] [comments] |
