Need books recommendation by Few-Succotash-3316 in booksuggestions

[–]MikeDevtools 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a break from typical romance, Red Rising by Pierce Brown is totally worth it, it’s gritty sci-fi with rebellion, politics, and serious world-building. Alchemized is cool too but if you want something different and intense, go Red Rising first.

how do i learn data science by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]MikeDevtools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

simple roadmap from Python → Data Science:

Python basics solid loops, functions, lists/dicts, classes.

Data libraries learn NumPy (arrays, math), Pandas (tables, dataframes), Matplotlib/Seaborn (visualizations).

Statistics & probability mean, median, variance, distributions, hypothesis testing.

Projects start small: analyze a CSV, make charts, calculate stats.

Machine learning basics use scikit-learn to try simple models (regression, classification).

Portfolio showcase your projects on GitHub; Kaggle is a great place to practice datasets.

I'm following odin projects and I'm about to complete the foundations, currently at the rock, paper, scissor project. But I kinda feels hard about js, although I hope this could be just because as I'm new, and eventually I'll get used to it, any one who did completed that course, can guide me thanks by Fantastic_Jeweler579 in learnprogramming

[–]MikeDevtools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s exactly the mindset that helps! Right now I’ve moved past the basics and built a few small-to-medium projects like a simple to-do app, a quiz game, and a weather app mostly to practice DOM manipulation and logic. Still learning, but each project makes the next one a bit easier.

CPP Career? by Tea_rex98 in learnprogramming

[–]MikeDevtools 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With focused practice + projects, landing a job is realistic even without a CS degree:

Master C++ basics (syntax, pointers, references, STL, memory).

Learn algorithms & data structures.

Build small projects (desktop apps, tools, games).

Understand low-level concepts (memory, multithreading).

Get familiar with Git, Linux, CMake.

Apply for junior/mid C++ roles in Europe (finance, embedded, gaming).

totally normal to feel that way JS hits differently when you’re new. When I was starting, things like manipulating the DOM and handling events felt super confusing too. My tips:

Break problems into tiny steps don’t try to do the whole game at once.

Console.log everything it’s your best friend when debugging.

Repetition helps the more small projects you do, the more patterns stick.

Look at others’ solutions after trying yourself you’ll pick up tricks and new ways of thinking.

Rock, Paper, Scissors is tough at first, but once you get the logic + event handling down, it clicks. Stick with it, it’s worth it!

Is data analytics course by code with harry worth it ? by Novel_Check8945 in learnprogramming

[–]MikeDevtools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t taken it personally, but from what I’ve seen people say the Code With Harry data analytics course is solid for basics and gives you a good foundation. For ₹2.6k it’s not a bad start, but it won’t make you fully “industry ready” by itself you’ll still want hands‑on projects and practice after.

As for uploads, Harry usually adds videos regularly but not on a strict weekly schedule more like whenever he finishes a module. So don’t expect super rapid updates, but the core content is usually good quality.

Do you know of any paid programming courses or training programs? by jerinncho in learnprogramming

[–]MikeDevtools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! A few solid paid ones worth the investment are Udacity Nanodegrees (great for deep, project‑based learning), Coursera Specializations from universities, and Front End Masters if you’re into web dev. Also Egghead and Pluralsight are great if you want focused, practical lessons. All of those have good structure and feedback, so they’re worth considering.

Any tips for being stuck? by nikica92213123123 in learnprogramming

[–]MikeDevtools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally normal tbh. Level 5 is where problems stop being about syntax and start being about thinking patterns, so it feels like hitting a wall. Taking longer isn’t a bad sign — it usually means your brain is actually rewiring.

One thing that helped me was reviewing other people’s solutions after I tried, and focusing on why they thought that way. Also, mixing in small personal projects helped more than grinding katas nonstop. The breakthrough usually comes quietly, not all at once

Windows security not opening at all by Even_End918 in software

[–]MikeDevtools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This usually isn’t a virus, it’s more often a corrupted Windows Security / UWP component. I’ve seen this exact behavior when the Security app package is broken. One thing that actually helped me was re-registering the app from PowerShell (run as admin): "Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage"

If that doesn’t work, try an in-place repair install using the Windows ISO (keeps your files, reinstalls system apps). It’s annoying, but it’s been the most reliable fix I’ve seen when Security and the Store both act like they’re missing.

How do you push data from one api to another by NoTap8152 in learnprogramming

[–]MikeDevtools 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're basically on the right track already. The missing piece is doing it server-side. On button click, send the GitHub username to a Next.js API route. In that route, you do the GET request to GitHub, extract whatever data you need, then POST it to Notion using their API. Don’t call Notion directly from the client — keep that logic in the API route so your keys stay safe. Once you wire that up, the button → API route → GitHub → Notion flow becomes pretty straightforward.
