    After spending months, I'm accepted for an internship! Any advice, tips for the first couple of weeks?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 03:37 AM PST

    Hi. I'm actually a mechanical engineer but in June, I made a radical decision and decided to become a software developer. Since then, I've been learning Java and SQL. I applied for an internship in the beginning of this month. We, first, had an interview and then they sent me a task to complete which I did and I'm accepted for the internship! I will start next week as a back-end intern developer. I just wanted to ask, is there anything I should pay attention in the beginning of this new career? Things I should do, things I should avoid doing? Because this is going to be my first experience in this field, I'm a bit stressed and thinking what if I can't meet the expectations, etc. Any advice and tips are appreciated. Thank you!

    If you’d start from scratch, which language would you start as self-learning ?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 12:03 PM PST

    I(28) have been always keen to start learning programming since my childhood. I really want to start now and change my career. I'm thinking to start with some Pyhton udemy courses and bootcamps but I can't be sure. What's your advice to beginners? Which language I can find a job as self-taught entry level jobs and join the adventure?

    Can anyone recommend a programming book for an 8 year old? Maybe a language too?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 11:04 AM PST

    AFAIK he has no coding experience.

    He's keen and has a chromebook (I'm aware this isn't ideal for some programming). I'm unlikely to get much more info regarding what he wants and why. I think he just wants to know how to code. His Mum (my sister in law) just asked me to buy one. I appreciate this is a little vague.

    I've been looking at https://codepen.io/ and replit.com. Both of which look great.

    Replit has some Python and I've heard of that so it must be pretty popular. Would it be good to buy him a book on Python?

    What entry level jobs can help a future programmer?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 11:40 AM PST

    Hi guys!

    Two years ago I started playing around with Python and Swift, just learning the basics and having fun with it. I decided to dedicate my time to learn about programming properly and took the long road of getting my degree, while still working full time on a completely unrelated field. Now on my second year, after finishing my work and uni stuff, I feel like I don't have free time for my own "explorations". Going to work also feels like a huge waste of time, because I don't learn nothing new from it and its forcing me to study part-time, but I have to pay my bills.

    I am thinking about making my career change, but I am not ready to be a developer yet. What do you think would be a good entry level job where I can be learning skills that will help me down the road? I am ready to take a pay cut if the job is giving me more than just money every week. Are internships a risky idea? I don't want to be unemployed after an internship ends.

    Any advice would be much appreciated!!

    Can someone please explain what a bash and shell are?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2021 09:45 PM PST

    I think of them as terminals for interacting with X. It appears so many things have a bash or a shell — to me they just seem like GUIs or terminals but not sure how they are different.

    For instance, I've come across these: - terminal prompt on windows called power shell, what is this? - Linux terminal, which I think is a shell or bash? - MacOs has a shell/bash terminal. - python IDLE shell - MySQL terminal - Anaconda has the conda shell

    Are these are the same thing? Just having trouble understanding what these actually are.

    Thanks

    Is The Odin Project for me?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 12:41 PM PST

    I am one year out of college (finance major) and started working in business ops a few months ago with SQL and excel being the primary tools I use. Programming and tech in general has always been interesting to me but I have minimal experience with it. Recently I stumbled across The Odin Project and it seems like a great relatively structured way to start building the skills of a programmer with tons of community support. My only hold up is that I'm not necessarily planning on making the career change to web dev and as far as i can tell the languages most often used by more technical business ops professionals are python, java and R. Do you wonderful people of Reddit think TOP is useful in helping aspiring programmers who aren't necessarily interested in web dev or would people like myself be better off using different resources to learn the art of programming?

    How did you guys learn pseudo code for algorithms?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 03:31 AM PST

    Hello everyone, I recently started a new course in uni called "algorithms and data structure". Up to start of this course I already had some experience in using algorithms in c, c++ and Java. But then came pseudo code. For the first time I feel like I am hitting a dead end and don't know what to do anymore. Every time I try to make some pseudo code work it doesn't run for shit and I am honestly getting very frustrated and upset with it So here I am asking for your help. Is anyone here who can help me get this stuff into my brain because I currently feel so stupid for not being able to get it done

    Thanks in advance

    Looking for an open source usable audio library for streaming audio data

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 12:28 PM PST

    I need it for my game engine.

    What I need:

    • Written in C or C++.
    • I can stream audio data to it, either through callbacks, or periodically calling a function from a thread.
    • Multi platform.
    • Fixed (and known) buffer size.
    • Uses some usable format (floating point is ideal, but I probably can live with converting to integer first).

    What I don't need:

    • A DLL (or any other dynamic library), that plays WAV, MP3, etc from disk.
    • Anything written in languages I cannot interface with D.
    • Suggestions for game engines.

    Libraries I've already tried:

    • SDL2 (callbacks don't work, streaming through SDL_QueueAudio is a pain, also planning on deprecating it altogether from my engine)
    • libsoundio (buffer size is within a range and is not adjustable easily, also data is passed by calling a function N-times - not ideal)

    ZIP AND UNZIP AND SORT

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 10:30 AM PST

    # Using zip & \, sort the list 'books_borrowed' alphabetically while ensuring*

    # that reference to the respective 'isbn' value remains the same

    new_value= list(zip(books_borrowed,isbn))

    book_sorted, isbn_sorted = list(zip(*new_value))

    book_sorted = sorted(book_sorted, key=lambda isbn: isbn[0])

    print(book_sorted, isbn)

    ####I WANT THE VALUE TO STICK W THE SORTED BOOK NUMBER>

    ##WHAT SHOULD I DO

    I'm new to python and have been completing a project at the university , which has raised some thoughts about sorting zipped lists.

    The objective is to join two lists together, books_borrowed & isbn, and then unzip sort the unzipped list by isbn. My confusion arises on how best to sort an unzipped list. I created a solution using sorted() but this does not seem to work if I wish to now sort by 'isbn'. I have attempted to research a best solution and many people recommend sorted() with a key argument. However, I'm unsure how if I had 3 lists zipped together, how would I select which list I wish to sort by with sorted()? I have tried to use sorted(book_sorted, key=lambda isbn: isbn[0]) but I receive a key argument error.

    Where should I start with Lua?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 09:55 AM PST

    I've been trying to learn Lua for a while now, but I can't seem to find much of anything on the basics. All I know right now is based on me examining scripts that others have wrote and trying to understand what does what. Is there any particular place where I could learn Lua?

    Do people do group study?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 04:20 AM PST

    Hi everyone! I'm very interested in learning some programming languages. Since I'm new to this sub Reddit, I was wondering if anyone worked together and learned different languages together?

    Personally, I feel as if I learn better in a group setting because I can always ask someone if I get stuck on something.

    Overall, If any of you do a group study, I would love to join! Take care!

    Updating my company's inherited mobile app - no source code access

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 10:15 AM PST

    Hello!

    I have been assigned a new project - oversee the overhaul of our company's mobile app that the company killed 3 years ago. Our developer asked me for the source code - no one at my company knows where this is saved. This is not really my realm and I'm really hoping for guidance.

    Would this be "saved" in the App Store Connect (Apple Developer) account associated with my team? Or is the code pushed from elsewhere and not actually saved in order to be retrieved for modification at a later point? Other than local copies that may be saved by developers past, where does the source code "live" that I may be able to hand it off for development?

    My capabilities :(

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 01:26 PM PST

    Hello, I'm a second year in college. Recently I feel like I have been out of it when it comes to my cognitive capabilities. What I mean by this is I feel as if I cannot think critically and problem solve. I call learning my passion and am typically able to pick up on concepts and skills with ease. However, I am a computer science major and have never coded prior to college. As a result, it was hard for me to pick up concepts and write my own code without referring to other resources. I am aware something like programming is not easy and requires a lot of effort, but to be frankly honest, I have been lacking as a result of me not being able to grasp programming. I love programming and want to stick with it, however it caused me to be constantly doubting my capabilities and thus creates "mental blocks" that keep me from focusing on anything. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Which programming path for my 14 yrs old son ?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 05:45 AM PST

    I have been working in IT since 25 yrs, more or less. I have been a web developer, sql developer, c# developer and many other things related.

    I have also tried to approach my son to programming a few years ago with Scratch, however he didn't like very much at the time and didn't went through any course.

    This year he started high-school with a IT specialization and, after asking himself, I would like to help him in approaching programming again.

    Now the question, what could be 1 or 2 programming languages/IDE to start from with a good amount of tutorial and (mostly important) that will supposedly be the most requested in 5/6 years ?

    Bonus: he loves video games too so a programming language related could be cool too !

    Thanks :)

    Machine Learning Tutorials

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 01:11 PM PST

    I'm trying to get into Machine Learning. Im already proficient at Python and I'm looking into the Scikit-learn library. I've found a few tutorials but they are mostly bad. They just jump into "you should do this" And don't explain the mechanisms behind it. "If you make this and that operation youll get the result". Are there any good tutorials for free or with a not so exorbitant cost? In which they actually teach the math, the operations and all else behind the code.

    Not sure if The Odin Project is for me, but can video-learning resources really get me job-ready?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2021 01:09 PM PST

    Hi everyone. I'm about two weeks into my journey of learning front end web development. I know that I'm still early in my journey, but I'm not sure if TOP is working for me and I'm afraid of wasting my time trying to force my brain to learn from it.

    When I started learning I was watching videos and taking notes which was going well. I've always enjoyed listening/watching lectures and taking notes to learn anything, even back in high school and college. I learned a lot of basics from the videos (like Mosh) before starting TOP.

    Once I started TOP I flew through everything until the landing page project in the fundamentals. I have no issues with HTML and only got stuck when it came to implementing flexbox, which took me hours. Then same thing when it came to the fundamentals JavaScript projects. I'm reading the information, but it isn't sticking and I feel like what I'm being asked to do in projects is wayyyyy higher level than any of the content I've been reading.

    I have no issue with struggling, trying a bunch of things, etc. but I feel like the TOP model of reading and then creating something more in depth isn't working for me. I prefer learning from videos than reading (especially with code), but I also don't want to just do code-along projects.

    I hear such great things about TOP but I just don't feel like it's a good fit. But I'm afraid of doing an Udemy course and finding it isn't actually preparing me. Can I get sufficiently prepared for a job by doing a quality Udemy course? I'm willing to circle back to TOP (at minimum just for the projects) but I feel like starting there isn't good for me.
