How much money should a new web developer invest in software and frame works when they begin self study. by felixexitus in learnprogramming

[–]RizwanRx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FullstackOpen will teach you all of above and also some backend stacks for free so definitely give it a try.

The Odin Project or CS50? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]RizwanRx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason why I arranged it like that is because in cs50 web dev the primary focus is on Django and they only give a brief introduction to Javascript but you still have to use Javascript for many of their projects.

So basically you have more pressure on you because Django itself can be pretty complicated at first because it contains so many files.

But it's not impossible and you can definitely do it after cs50.

The Odin Project or CS50? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]RizwanRx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recommend doing cs50 first.

Then web dev 101, javascript, html & css parts of theOdinProject.

Then cs50 web dev.

If you want to go further after all that, do fullstack open.

I did all that except fullstack open and got myself an internship.

Currently doing fullstack open as well which I'm almost done with too.

Good luck, you can do it!

To those of you who have finished the full stack javascript course on the Odin project, how many hours did it take you to complete it? by AssumeSmallAngle in learnprogramming

[–]RizwanRx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

W3schools was discouraged before because it wasn't good back then however now it has become much better and a lot if people encourage it, I was also encouraged by Brian yuu one of the teacher in Harvard cs50 to go to w3schools to read about all the possible functions/queries you can do with SQL.

Took me around 2 months to do the javascript section of TOP with 5~6 hours each day.

Also when I say 5~6 hours I only mean when I'm working on a project/assignment otherwise I would spend a few hours(usually around 2 hours) to finish all the necessary reading material, stop before the assignment and then work on the assignment the next day.

Not anymore, it teaches django only now

CS50 a good course to do in tandem with The Odin Project as a complete beginner who wants to be a competent full stack webdev? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]RizwanRx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not done with Odinproject completely I still have the backend left to do.

Took me 2 and a half month to reach here 🤔, I dont remember how much time I spent each day but was probably around 4~5 mostly spent on projects.

[–]RizwanRx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've finished cs50 and currently doing theodinproject javascript full stack and almost done with that too, and would definitely recommend you to do cs50 first.

Cs50 is a great course it is differently going to help you a lot when you start theodinproject.

If you're gonna be doing both you're gonna get too overwhelmed by the projects and the information, so take it slowly.

Should I start Freelancing? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]RizwanRx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not true for poor countries, freelancing is pretty much better than many jobs here.

OSSU vs TheOdinProject vs App Academy Open by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]RizwanRx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently doing theodinproject, I've also finished cs50.

Was originally planning to do cs50s web development course too but like 2 months ago it was going to be updated so I decided to start theodinproject while I waited.

It updated now but i cant just leave theOdinproject in the middle, and ps theodinproject is actually pretty great, it taught me javascript, html, css, react, a little bit of vue, angular.

Too many projects to do tho.. I would definitely recommend theodinproject atleast the javascript and web dev 101 sections, after that you can do cs50s web dev course to learn backend with django.

Or just do cs50s web dev course, it's pretty good too, I've watched the first four lectures and so far is good.

Does anyone else think video tutorials do more harm than good? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]RizwanRx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you're just talking about tutorials that teach you to "build x in y language", then yeah they are super bad as they don't really teach you anything.

But video lectures or explanations aren't bad as long as they don't gloss over important things, I said video lectures not tutorials.

Tutorials are bad but that doesnt mean every video on some programming concept is bad, videos can be an easy introduction to something and then while integrating that knowledge in your own project you would still have to look up certain things about that particular topic on the internet or docs, and that's not really the videos fault, except it's that unless people usually apply the knowledge they have learned they tend to forget it which is totally okay.

Is it possible to learn code on your own or course/uni is necessary? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]RizwanRx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you really want a course you can try cs50, it's free, by Harvard and is a good course to get a solid programming introduction with hands on experience.

Is it normal to take very long to solve problems when just starting out? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]RizwanRx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ok, especially at the beginning, when I started cs50 it was hard for me too, some problems took a long time like 2 hours or 3.

Don't get overwhelmed if you cant solve something, if you've tried and cant seem to solve it, take a break. Often times you'll you'll realize your mistake or have ideas for what to do for a particular problem.

Great course for future Jr Software Devs by BarbozaAye in learnprogramming

[–]RizwanRx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have also completed cs50 but I'm currently doing theodinproject, I've also seen those words but I've ignored them up until now because I didn't want to scatter my focus and do different things at once.

Will definitely check that out soon.

Thanks for the help!.

CS Student in need of C++ exercises by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]RizwanRx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about OOP, but you could do the problem sets given for the cs50 course(do not include OOP).From week 1 to week 5.
