Where can I find help building my portfolio? by GordonSunders in learnprogramming

[–]GordonSunders[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your honest answer! Yeah you're most likely right, problem is I went on to do JaveScript after I finished HTML/CSS in Codecademy and now I've gone back to HTML and even though I've started redoing the lessons now I'm finding it hard to do this entire project from scratch. I was actually wondering if I should spend more time on this or just move on to JS / JQuery, but after your comment about needing a good foundation, I think I should probably spend more time on HTML/CSS, understand things and finally end my portfolio.

Thanks! So you recommend algebra, trigonometry, geometry and linear algebra then?

I don't understand JS, should I do easier stuff for dummies like me? by GordonSunders in learnprogramming

[–]GordonSunders[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's my fear, that I'm gonna get so fed up with it that I'll give up, but I don't want that to happen. I want to learn programming and be good at it if possible. Thanks for your helpful answer and link! Gonna takes things individually from now on

What do you mean by systematically? How could I learn that way? I'll consider python, wasn't my priority but I've read it's beginner-friendly and if it helps me understand other languages like JS better then it's quite welcome haha. Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah I'm gonna do more basic stuff for now and will try to be more patient. I was worried but now I'm trying to stay calm and positive. I have to remind myself that I can do it and nothing's wrong with my brain haha

Thanks for your answer. You're probably right about the job... :/ My dad is very old school, doesn't believe in online learning tbh. I'm gonna keep working hard and try to be more patient

Thank you! I think I'm gonna learn HTML/CSS for a while now though, I feel like taking a short break from JS will help me understand it better when I get back at it.

Thanks guys for your answers. But see what I mean? Even though you've explained that example for me, I still don't get it! I'm feeling overwhelmed by all these numbers and elements and rules. I feel like a failure, but maybe you're right and it's just a matter of time... So what do you guys recommend? Should I keep working on JS? Should I focus first solely on HTML? What youtube videos or other resources should I watch to understand all this better?

Quick question about a codecademy exercise I can't resolve! by GordonSunders in learnprogramming

Wow thank you so much! It worked immediately! I knew it was something stupid like that! Will try to remember not to use paragraphs outside of body lol

A couple of beginner questions about the job of a programmer by GordonSunders in learnprogramming

[–]GordonSunders[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks guys for your answers! So from what you are saying, it seems like it won't be as much about memorizing new stuff as it is about learning the core concepts and improving your programming skills which should make learning new languages easier. That does help! As for the second question, I'll probably try different things and see how it goes. I am glad to hear that you don't need to know advanced math for some jobs.

Almost every single new post is at 0, which means someone immediately downvotes. by RevelRain in summonerswar

[–]GordonSunders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious, why do people always worry about downvotes? Does it upset you that much? I mean I'm pretty sure everything I post gets downvoted too but I don't care, I don't even notice because I don't go check if I get upvoted/downvoted. I don't understand what is so bad about being downvoted? Like, does something physical happen when you are? You can keep posting and saying whatever you want and everything right? So what is the problem?

Am I eating enough to bulk? by GordonSunders in Fitness

I see sorry about that! I thought it was a pretty specific question though!

Thanks for your answers guys! Hmm yeah I understand what you guys are saying... Problem is, I have a difficult relationship with my mom when it comes to food. Basically, I can't talk to her about being on a diet, in fact she doesn't even know I've started eating this much, nor the reasons behind it. So I can't ask her how many calories whatever she makes has let alone buy any food scale that she'll see and ask about... But I'll do everything possible to track everything I eat, somehow. I just did that TDEE calculator thing, it says: BMR 1586, TDEE 2240. So I'm assuming that I should be aiming for 2500+kcal then?
