| Can you learn to code at the age of 90? Posted: 23 Jan 2022 01:10 PM PST Yes this seems bizarre but my grandfather wants to learn how to program a computer. He is really fascinated with tech and wanted to learn a programming language but is unsure of where to start. What can he do? What do you guys think? [link] [comments] |
| The magic to actually learning a programming language. Posted: 23 Jan 2022 01:10 PM PST Learning a programming language doesn't require any super-human abilities that the average human doesn't have, the nicest computer, or any other unordinary thing. It truly requires nothing more than consistently trying (and failing) over and over until you work the language into your brain. The first language is the hardest by far. However, after your first language, you can cruise through any other language like learning a dependency. TLDR; Be consistent with programming, and if you fail or create an error use that as an opportunity to learn. And remember: errors are what make programming rewarding. [link] [comments] |
| How do I get better at understanding other people’s code? Posted: 23 Jan 2022 10:29 AM PST I'm a recent grad with an Associate's in computer software development. I don't have any professional coding experience. I find it extremely difficult to understand code that I didn't write. I can understand little chunks of it in sequence, i.e. I know what the code does on a mechanical level, but I'm utterly lost when it comes to seeing the big picture. For example, I could read an if statement with a database query, but I wouldn't know just from reading the code that it's used to login a user. That's a bad example, but hopefully it gets the idea across. Another way to say it is that, if you asked me what a piece of code does, I would take you through it step-by-step on a low level. I wouldn't be able to give a high-level explanation that a non-technical person would understand. How do I develop the ability to grok code at all, let alone quickly? The fact that I struggle with this makes me really worried about performing well in a programming job :( [link] [comments] |
| How do you handle working and learning to code Posted: 23 Jan 2022 01:15 PM PST Hey all, I've been learning to code alongside college which has been relatively okay to handle, I can easily give one more attention when needed. I do however come from a struggling family and an opportunity for a job has come up (not in tech though). Definitely need the money for a new laptop etc etc but it's a 7 to 5 which in of itself is going to make college studies intense. Now I have to consider working 7 to 5 studying for college and working on personal projects for a portfolio. This all really scares me and I kinda feel like I'm just making things harder for myself. How do you handle working a full on job and/or studying while learning to code? [link] [comments] |
| HackerRank Alternative to Test Myself on a Topic Posted: 23 Jan 2022 02:50 PM PST I am using Hackerrank to test myself on stuff that I have learned to see if I have really learned and it's working great so far but it does feel limited. I also like how Hackerrank can get my connected with potential job opportunities after I reach a certain level. Is there anything else like Hackerrank but better? or is Hackerrank the best thing we got so far? Also, my current learning strategy is the following protocol Read a book or watch a video tutorial ---> Take notes and make flashcards. ---> Review notes and flashcards on a daily basis. ---> Work on a project that uses the technology you are trying to learn ---> Go to Hackerrank and test yourself on topics you have learned for example Python or JavaScript. ---> If you score low on Hackerrank assessments then go back and study the material again. What do you guys think of my strategy so far it has helped me learn things like Linux, Bash, intermediate SQL, and basic HTML. EDIT: Did some Google Fu and found another website called Code Wars. Seems pretty good. [link] [comments] |
| (Ruby) Why isn't this code to add user input to an array working? Posted: 24 Jan 2022 12:24 AM PST Hi, here's my (extremely crappy) code: It results in a "no implicit conversion of Array into String (TypeError)" error. I wanted to at least check if I could at least add a single item to an array before I made it a loop or something, but it's not working :( Any tips? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 23 Jan 2022 10:13 PM PST Firs off I'll say I'm a beginner to C so I'm not clear on everything. The way I'd interpret printing someVariable[0][0] is that you want to start at the first character of the first row and print everything up until a null terminator. The way I'd interpret printing someVariable[0] is that you want to print some part of the first row of characters (or all of it), but you don't want to start at a specific index. I'm just confused how [0][0] results in a type of character while [0] results on the whole string. Is that simply just how the syntax is or is there a better reasoning for this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2022 07:40 PM PST Hi all! I am new to reddit as well to the programming world. I started to learn python basics but don't know how python can work for me as a developer. I looked how python is useful but couldn't find a roadmap. Can anyone help me with it please? [link] [comments] |
| What is the roadmap for the blockchain? Posted: 23 Jan 2022 09:28 PM PST Hi, im a noobie in programming i started learning html and css a while ago and i stopped for some reasons.

| Please recommend C++ course / material Posted: 23 Jan 2022 08:04 PM PST I am a freshman student currently doing beginner C++ course at uni. I feel that the material so far is not enough. I always run into problems on how to perform some algorithm that is not currently covered by textbook. Any recommendation on online courses or material on C++? Prefer something with structure and not too pricey. Any other tips are most welcome. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2022 10:46 PM PST For some reason I have a bit of a desire to help newbies get unstuck. I remember when I was working on projects early on, something might take me a month that an experienced developer could finish in an hour. I'm a polyglot but the JS ecosystem is where I'm most competent right now. Is anyone stuck on a project? If so, what has you stuck? When I have some free time I'm going to see if I could help a few people out. I can't guarantee that it's going to be immediate, but I'll see what I can do. Does anyone need some help?

| Am I seriously lacking some study skills? Posted: 24 Jan 2022 12:51 AM PST My current skill level is successfully using javascript and frameworks such as express and socket.io to build a multiplayer retro 2D tank game (something like BattleCity in the 1980s). This is the only project that I have done. Currently, I am following Colt Steele's beginner web development course. My problem is after learning 2 months of programming, I still cannot understand what the documents are saying. I struggle to read most of the sentences as if I am reading some alien language. Also, I feel I am bad at understanding the concepts. When I programming I merely know the steps, but I may not be able to clearly explain concepts. I am not sure what kind of study skill I am missing. It seems that many people are better at understanding concepts because they answer my questions so effortlessly. I seriously doubt if I can be a competent programmer. It hurts my motivation and gives me pain. I want a consultant to check if I am missing some critical study skills or attitudes. But I don't even know where to find it, please help. [link] [comments] |
| It finally happened. I had a nightmare about programming. Posted: 23 Jan 2022 05:36 PM PST I'm only about a month in to this programming journey (in the capable hands of Automate the Boring Stuff) and finally had a nightmare about coding last night. In my nightmare, my code was stuck in a for loop in a way I couldn't understand. The people around me needed me to fix the code or nukes were about to launch. I'm sorry, people of Dreamland. It didn't work out. I should probably go back and review and play around with loops though. Apparently my subconscious is tortured by them. (And maybe stop listening to Vice's Cyber podcast because of the opening audio clip from WarGames). Is this a normal part of the learning process? Or a sign I should eventually give Codewars a shot?

| Looking for a learning buddy/study partner Posted: 24 Jan 2022 12:14 AM PST Hi. I like to upskill myself. I did 3 associate AWS certifications a couple of years ago but I didn't get good oppurtunities at my work to apply those skills and I don't remember most of it now. I want to learn about AWS (professional, if possible) and ML parallely. My Python skills are intermediate. I motivate myself and start to learn but I lose interest and stop it everytime. If someone who feels the same way and want to learn together with me, we can motivate and learn from each other as well. I want to learn and make use of skillset this time. Most importantly, I wanna learn it in the right way this time, since last time it was mostly to pass the exam and get the certificates. I am not very smart, I'm a very slow-learner but I am willing to the put the effort. I will be posting this in other reddit communities. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2022 08:15 PM PST I'm almost 25yrs old. And I decided to learn how to code. But... do you think I can make it considering I need to work everyday for my family and got nothing in my head about programming. Yes, I had no idea what programming is. Right now, what I did since I got no desktop/laptop to work with (it'spretty hard), I'm just watching youtube videos of Coding Train. Thank you Mr. Daniel. May I know your systematical insights or do you have any suggestions for what should I do as a neophyte? I started last month. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2022 06:14 PM PST Hi programmers, Bit of a short backstory. During my teenage years I was an introvert and loved studying. I used to do extracurricular activities, join coding clubs, go to afterhours study sessions and all that stuff. I scored a 3.6/4.0 GPA and had a WAM of 90+ in my first couple years. I was never the best programmer but I had my OOP fundamentals in check. I landed my first web dev job straight out of university but quit after a few weeks to pursue a life of wrongdoings, mainly because I lacked the vision of ever being able to progress in the field. Things went downhill from there as I went down the wrong path for a long time. Now many years later, I am starting from scratch (both financially and educationally) and I'm looking to get back into web development. Web development always stood out to me, and now with the introduction of React Native, there's a possibility of crossing over into mobile development for side-gigs or even full-time opportunities. I'm so out of the loop when it comes to web development and programming in general since it's been nearly a decade since I've touched programming. I've signed up to Maximilian Schwarzmüller's React Udemy course and plan on taking my time on that, while doing some website from scratch codealongs on YouTube from guys like Traversy Media and a few other reputable guys, and also borrowing some books at the library and doing mobile app quizzes to keep my mind active. I'm not ready to dive into a project right now without having the fundamentals in place. It feels as if a lot has changed since 5-10 years ago. I had never heard of all these frameworks and other stuff. I just learned about VSCode today. I've been watching Fireship on YT to get a brief idea of the new technologies coming out. My main question is: does anyone have any tips or advice that will help me get back onto the right path? I think my plan is solid, but are there any new websites or techniques that will help accelerate my progress as a web developer? I heard FreeCodeCamp is still around, and that there are some other similar websites too. Can anyone recommend these? I've browsed these this subreddit and a few others and picked up some great tips and advice, but any more would be really beneficial. Sorry for the long post, I'm just a bit lost but extremely motivated to make this work. [link] [comments] |
| Trying to make a barcode that when scanned auto filled the data on it into a PDF. Posted: 23 Jan 2022 08:43 PM PST Trying to make a barcode that when scanned auto filled the data on it into a PDF. For example if someone had the barcode on a ID and it contained their name, the barcode could be scanned and the name would be put into the PDF file in the correct field. Does anyone know how this could be done or any tips as to where to start? [link] [comments] |

| Best paid resources/courses for Data Analytics? Crypto trading Posted: 23 Jan 2022 10:08 PM PST I work in crypto trading and want to enhance my skillset. Mainly for data analytics and eventually automated trading. I want to start with Python for data automation. My work is willing to pay for courses and resources, but there are so many out there I don't know which ones are generally the best bang for buck. Any tips/recommendations? [link] [comments] |
| Code only compiles and runs in Practice mode on Moodle, but doesn’t work in the Evaluation section. Posted: 23 Jan 2022 07:53 PM PST Title: When running code in practice mode, it works fine. No issues there. When I input it into Evaluation mode, it states that the "compilation or execution has failed", why? My code compiles in Visual Studio and Sublime just fine, but in Moodle it doesn't, unless in "Practice mode", If anyone has any experience in this otherwise poor program used by schools, please enlighten me on why this may be happening.

| Software dev or eng apprenticeship Posted: 23 Jan 2022 09:49 PM PST I've successfully done two apprenticeships, construction electrical and automotive. I'm a well rounded tradesperson and pick up skills very quickly. I'm 35. I live in Canada. I've done a few months of Java MOOC.fi and a few weeks of TOP. I don't have much trouble quickly getting the basics, really enjoy solving the problems, thinking hyper logically, and learning the languages. I'm just not very good at self learning or studying in a classroom. I can't imagine tackling a project for a portfolio to land a job. I don't have the personal drive. I know that I would smash it out of the park if I could find some sort of dev apprenticeship. I would even volunteer like 12-16 hours per week with a real team to do simple repetitive tasks just to get hands on experience, ask questions, and get direction (do simple repetitive tasks exist for devs? Don't they just automate them??). When I did my electrical apprenticeship, I spent around $2k to take a 24 week pre apprenticeship course and then got a job offer at a basement rate. I proceeded to learn the ropes on the job. Is a bootcamp the equivalent here? Will a mentor fill my need? Have I not looked hard enough to find a similarly tailored approach? [link] [comments] |
