    Two years since I started coding by my own (learned while pandemic was heavy). Today I got promoted to mid level.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 03:37 PM PST

    Since I saw so many people wanting to get into coding, I hope this motivates you.

    I will be 30 in March, I started self-learning by my 28th birthday, march 2020. I got my first IT job by November 2020 as Java Junior Developer, underpaid and working heavy schedules on a legacy system that has no back/front end, things were coded in a weird way, but I learned a lot there. In 6 months I changed to a remote company, home office, I worked there for 5 months, still legacy system in JavaEE, (some weird strings that append javascript inside java), for those 5 months I thought programming was not for me, I worked almost all weekends because my stuff was always failing tests/wrong approach. Now I am on my third job for about 3 or 4 months, I joined to help with a Spring project (back end), they are letting me learn react and unit testing with free company courses, I was assigned to do code review for juniors of the PHP project (in Laravel) and never coded PHP in my life, but in a week i got it (at least for simple endpoints code review, some CRUDs and get by ID stuff, etc). This is the first job I was able to keep the schedule, "easy" system, tests are OK, I don't rely on people anymore, I can find anything by my own, either on stack overflow or inside the system. I don't work on weekends anymore, and in fact I barely work 6h/day (and half of that are meetings, pair programming, help me with this bug, etc...).

    Today I got promoted to mid level, finally some good pay, will not see all my wage up in rent, bills and food. It has been around 14 months from my first job. I also started computer science in my local university (currently starting 3/8 semester) and things are going really well :-), I will be 30 in 45days and my life completely changed from before pandemic. Everyone can do this at any age, don't give up people.

    Realistic goal for a 29 year-old with no experience?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 07:58 PM PST

    Hey all, so after a life of bartending and working restaurants full-time I am finally starting my programming journey. I've been looking at resources that people say to use and I've made an Odin project account, freecode camp account and enrolled in some free Udemy python courses.
    I have a degree in Economics but I have absolutely no programming experience whatsoever. I'm still not sure what exactly I want to do in this field- data science does sound interesting to me- but I do know that my ultimate goal is to kind of freelance and work for myself.

    My main question is, assuming I put a few hours in each day learning these things, is it a realistic goal to be able to get a high paying (80+) job in the span of two years? I know that people's mileage will vary, but I just don't know if that's a realistic goal to have or if I'm just having pie-in-the-sky aspirations. I really am starting from nothing but am very excited to start this journey.

    Anyone out there need a personalized learning curriculum for coding? I would love to write you one!

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 11:16 AM PST

    I'm a full stack software engineer working at a mid-sized edtech startup. I've experienced basically every type of CS education: as I was mainly self-taught in CS, worked for a year, then went back to school to finish my degree in computer science.

    I would love to try to pay it forward, by trying to help anyone who wants a personalized curriculum for them! (list of projects / courses to work on, or links to good bootcamps or universities or whatever!)

    I felt it was always a huge pain in the a** to figure out what to work on next when I was self-teaching, so maybe this will be helpful to people :).

    This is my first time trying this but I wanted to give this a stab to see if it could work. If you wouldn't mind leaving your basic learning background / inclinations + goals with programming, which would be helpful for me.

    • background on you examples: do you like learning through in person courses? are you good at self-learning? do you like math? are you drawn to physics?
    • do you want to learn game dev? get a job in tech? prep for university?

    Who are the best teachers for coding?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 04:57 PM PST

    Some people are very good programmers but not actually good teachers. I just wanted to ask if you've ever encountered someone who was able to translate learning how to code in simple, understandable, or easily digestible form. Or maybe a website?

    React Circular Dependency Help

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 09:47 PM PST

    I'm trying to implement breadcrumbs in my react project but I've run into an issue with circular dependency.

    I'm trying to implement the Breadcrumbs like so:

    • Routes are stored as an array of objects such as

    ​

    { path: basePath, Component: CustomerPage, title: `Customer Page`, exact: true, }

    ​

    But with this I get a circular dependency as

    CustomerPage > CustomerFactory > Customerrouter > CustomerPage

    In my mind I can't avoid the CustomerRouter > CustomerPage because it needs to store it in the array. And beyond that i'm lost.

    ​

    How would I resolve this? I'm refactoring old code so there's already existing hardcoded breadcrumbs, i'm just trying to make them dynamic by feeding in the list of crumbs.

    Super new to this. Day 3 lol

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 08:10 PM PST

    So, I decided to begin learning more about technology in general and decided to give a simple CS class a try.

    Within 1 hour, I was hooked (seeing the universe for the first time feels) began looking up career paths, languages and their uses, and probably very basic lingo that I never knew (lol)… so I, of course, decided to look for ways to just dabble in it and found an app called Mimo. Decided to just attempt the python side of things…( keep in mind, I'm only on day 3)… I find my mind obsessing about learning more….

    So I have a question for advice from professionals and addicts alike:

    I am someone who wants to always find the most efficient way so I ask many questions -

    1. Is that Mimo app a good start and intro to programming? (I'm smart enough to know I will need at least 3 other sources to get better and retain skills..which leads me to..)

    2. What other sources, programs, classes, advices do you recommend for someone like me; so that I KNOW I will develop my development ( 🤪) skills without fading away. (I.e. how long should I practice, where to practice, what other computer basics to learn and master …ect)

    3. I know this is a touchy topic already lol but… what kind of starter set up (laptop, computer) should I have for the first year of learning and just getting the basics fast af.. (I'm pretty serious about this lol) Apple or PC?

    4. Languages to learn that will be hireable asap (yes I know it takes time to get fully skilled up)

    5. Mindset and environment of a professional programmer (list your profession if you want :) anyone?)

    6. Pros and cons of getting into this and going far?

    7. Is this really this addicting? Lol

    8. Anything outside of programming that is helpful. (I do meditation, calisthenics and Qi Gong… health is vital for me)

    Eager for advice and responses.

    Answer any # topic you wish to answer :)

    Thanks for reading

    Trying to learn web development with no prior experience

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 06:15 PM PST

    I recently graduated with a BA in health science but I now realized that it is not what I want to do. I decided to delve into the world of programming and my current plan is to take Angela Yu's udemy course and then take AppAcademy's boot camp. My end goal is to just get a decent paying job. What are your thoughts? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    What separates a great programmer from a good programmer?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 02:17 PM PST

    Does the title basically say it all but I want to learn what is it that they put in their code? Is it functionality or aesthetics or efficiency or experience? How can a person build such a skill set?

    300 days of learning to code

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 09:28 PM PST

    So this will be my very first reddit post ever and I thought about why not make it something motivational for myself and others out there

    INTRODUCTION

    So to give you guys a brief introduction I am currently a 19 year old college student in Canada. I migrated to Canada a few years ago and currently I am pursuing a diploma in computer programming.

    Overview

    So my plans for the 300 days of coding is that I am currently going to take these days to learn web development. I am taking Angela Yu's web development course as well as I am going to make an attempt at The Odin Project as it is highly recommended. As I go along I will eventually create a Github and post it here for feedback and I will also try my best to provide weekly updates.

    I know it's hard to start something especially since I myself procrastinate a lot and am barely motivated to do things. But this is me making the effort!!! :) so for anyone out there wanting to start go for it!!!! And please leave some encouragement below for me!!!!

    Why can’t I update the input based on previous state?[React]

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 09:22 PM PST

    in the code, i have to use "this" keyword with the current state to update the value and it works. However, the same is not true when i do the change using previous state like this: this.seState(prevState=>({ submit: prevState.input }))

    why isn't it working? is'nt it better to use the previous state rather than using the current because of the async nature of react?

    ​

    class MyForm extends React.Component { constructor(props) { super(props); this.state = { input: '', submit: '' }; this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this); this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this); } handleChange(event) { this.setState({ input: event.target.value }); } handleSubmit(event) { event.preventDefault() this.setState({ submit: this.state.input }); } render() { return ( <div> <form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}> <input value={this.state.input} onChange={this.handleChange} /> <button type='submit'>Submit!</button> </form> <h1>{this.state.submit}</h1> </div> ); } };

    What are some of the math formula that are useful in programming?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 09:13 PM PST

    I spend almost the entire day trying to solve this, only to realize it was more math than some other logic. This seems to be my weak point as I have struggled to solve problems involving math in the past. I'm open to suggestion on how I can improve on this.

    What is the point of Void in C#?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 09:07 PM PST

    I'm learning my first programming language with C#, by following someone coding a Visual Novel and reverse engineering the code, and researching every term I don't understand yet. It's intense but I'm learning tons from it.

    Something I don't understand is, what is the point of the Void keyword? I know the guy on the tutorial uses it a lot, but I still don't get why would you use a piece of code that can't do anything. Obviously, I'm just not getting something.

    Can someone explain me what is the use of Void? I've read the definition, I just don't understand the practical use of it.

    Anyone used The Odin Project to learn web development who already had programming experience?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 03:31 PM PST

    I work for a company and do a job that requires me to be adding the portion of our application that is open to our end users. The language is decently straightforward and arithmetic in nature but requires the creation of functions, logical evaluation and loops, among others. My role also requires me to learn how to meet our customers' needs with creative solution. As such, I have written many VBA reports in excel.

    I am now getting started with The Odin Project to expand my career opportunities and I see web development (front and back end) as the future.

    My main ask here is: Is The Odin Project something that I should continue to purse if I really would like to change career paths, in the context that I'm not 100% new to programming? I understand that I will need a portfolio of relevant projects and that the curriculum will not immediate equate to job opportunities.

    Any advice, thoughts or commentary on the matter is much appreciated; I want to ensure I'm not wasting my time. Thanks all!!

    What's the point of learning programming languages with alot of syntax, like C++, if there's going to be languages that will be easier to learn in the future?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 05:58 PM PST

    Just a showerthought I was thinking about. Isn't it highly likely that these "old-school" languages will become outshined in the near future?

    School makes me learn 2 languages at once

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 11:52 PM PST

    I'm wanting to start an Associates degree program in software development and in the first year they make me take 2 generic programming courses and I think some database courses which seems fine but when I get into the second year They have you take Java and C at the same time for 2 semesters as well as some basic web dev stuff. That just seems like a lot to me all at once granted maybe I'll feel different in a year but is that normal or will it make it very difficult to learn them both being pretty new to the material?

    If I wanted to take java 1 and 2 and then C 1 and 2 that's obviously adding 2 more semesters to my completion time which would be lame.

    Unhappy with my first job as a junior dev

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 11:07 AM PST

    I graduated from a full stack Bootcamp in April 2021 and decided to quit my full time teaching job that summer in July so that I could focus on coding full time. I had a great time in the Bootcamp and learned a lot, but there were still plenty of concepts that I hadn't quite understood so I wanted to take time to revisit them in order to feel more confident in my job search.

    The next few months were spent polishing up my resume, revisiting Bootcamp projects to add to my portfolio, practicing interview questions/algorithms, and applying for tons of jobs every day. Among the many rejection emails and failed interviews, I managed to land a few freelance gigs via upwork to help pay for my share of the mortgage (which I was very grateful for), one of which was a sweet 12hr/week IT gig that paid well for what it was. It wasn't technical but I was glad to get my foot into some sort of tech job door.

    In October I was able to land another part time job of working as a TA for the exact Bootcamp I had graduated from. This felt like the perfect opportunity to solidify some of the concepts I hadn't quite grasped during my time in the Bootcamp, while also helping others and bringing in some extra income.

    Fast forward a month or so, I continued applying for jobs and one day I finally had a couple rounds of interviews that felt promising with this small tech company. It was a remote position and I'd be able to work with non-profits which sounded awesome. I aced the next round of interviews (which were technical but nowhere near the amount of difficulty as other interviews so I felt lucky) and was offered the job. I was ecstatic, but also bummed that I would have to at least leave my part time IT gig which ended up being a refreshing way to break away from code for a bit.

    So now present day, I accepted the job at the end of 2021, left the IT gig, and have been in the role for a couple months as a full stack dev while still TA'ing for the Bootcamp. However, now that I'm in the role, I'm seeing that the systems we use are outdated, there isn't any documentation for the code as it is all an internal Perl-based template language created by one of the founders, and I'm not getting to use any of the cool tech I learned in the Bootcamp. It's all pretty confusing for me, as I am a visual learner who relies heavily on documentation and internet searches.

    I know it's only been a couple months, but I'm feeling stressed from feeling like I'm still not understanding what I'm doing most every day. The other devs I work with are great and seem to know what they're doing. They've been helpful, but I feel like I have a question with almost every ticket I'm given and should know better by now.

    I really enjoy JavaScript and would like to pursue that and React as primary tech focuses of mine - things I spent a lot of time understanding throughout the Bootcamp. And it feels like now that I have this job, I'm not able to commit as much time to reviewing material for the Bootcamp resulting in me not feeling like I can help better educate the students I work with.

    I've heard that you should accept the first offer you get as a junior dev then go from there, but I'm wondering if I made the right decision. I should also mention that I have a wife and 3 kids (wife recently quit her job too because we are moving) so the pressure of obtaining a full time job with benefits for them really impacted my decision to go for this job.

    Is it wrong of me to consider quitting this job and focus on the last 3 months of the Bootcamp, while applying for a job that uses the tech I'd actually enjoy working with?

    This is a really long post and perhaps just a rant, but I guess I'm looking for some advice or words of encouragement. Happy to clarify on anything. Thanks for reading this far

    Is mypy widely used?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 11:37 PM PST

    I'm a student and wanted to learn more about OOP in python beyond the basics. I'm reading a programing book and they start off with type hinting and mypy early on. I was wondering if it's useful to learn in terms of popularity in the workplace and in general because it's the first I'm seeing it since learning.

    need help finding list off offensive phrases.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 11:33 PM PST

    I am making an app which will input some letters and output a list of offensive phrases which can be spelled with said letters, for rearranging signs and others. The problem is i don't have a list of phrases. I found a list of potentially offensive words, but it wasn't accurate and didn't have sentences. Is there a list like I described? Or can I use a tool to determine how offensive a phrase is?

    If no one can help ill probably ask 4chan for a list.

    Where do you see Java in 5-10 years?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2022 07:35 PM PST

    No worries, this isn't one of the "is X language dead?!" posts. I am a Java developer and know it is a widely used and popular language. I just want to poke my head out into the wild and see what the community things about:

    • Where will Java be in 5-10 years?
    • What language may overtake it in popularity?
    • Is there job security as a Java developer, or should devs pivot to something else? If so, what?

    Google moved from Java to Kotlin (I get Kotlin is compiled into Java bytecode and runs on a JVM same as Java but it is a different language). Oracle is bungling the ELA and companies are moving from Oracle's JDK to Amazon Coretto and OpenJDK. We have Go, Rust, Swift - will those overtake it? Where do you see things heading for this hot brew of a language?
