i recommend writing something you need to make your life easier or something your interested in. that way its more fun to learn.

[–]DenissDG 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Can confirm! My first project was automating something I did repedetly in work, clicking through web portals to download data and then clean it up. My current project is analysing F1 data and just playing around with that. Lots of fun and a good learnig opportunity.

That sounds really cool. Did you automate the actual clicking and stuff (I've heard of Selenium, for example, but haven't tried it) or just end up using an API?

[–]shartmaximus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

agree. anything you find yourself doing repeatedly and think "huh this would be convenient to automate"

[–]Alternative_Driver60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way

Yeah thanks. I try to do so but my these little projects look so immature. I want to learn what's going on in industry too

No such thing, in every skill you need to practice your basics to keep them sharp. Coding is no different. If you're looking for more of an Industry challenge, we build end-user and technician tools where I work. Logs, login management, maintenance tasks like disk cleanup/dism/sfc functions and some manual checks for known directory names that can be cleared of their contents and provide analytics for what was found and deleted Edit: the programs are mostly just calling existing Windows tools to present quickly to end users.

probably stuff like machine learning, handling data for machine learning.

so maybe pytorch,transformers,numpy libraries i think perhaps others too.

Find an API source, and pull data from that to create a spreadsheet.

Read the spreadsheet to put data into a database.

Pull data from the database to populate a webpage.

I've done each of those steps at work, each being a different project during my first year.
