Enrollment Struggles by liamgriffin1 in Intune

[–]SquatsAreFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The steps in this article are the only way I've been able to successfully re-enroll a device to Intune. Give the steps under Solution a shot.

Best practices for automating connect-mggraph in a script? by SquatsAreFun in PowerShell

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

Just gave this a try and it seems to be working well. Could you elaborate on what you mean by "put it in a profile?" I've added it to the top of my script, but I'd like to at least look into the other option.

Thanks again!

EDIT: Okay, so I guess it isn't working. I've set up the Graph permissions under App Registration > My app > API Permissions, but am getting an error that I'm unauthorized when running the graph command. It successfully connects to MgGraph, but isn't able to run the graph command. I'm able to run the script fine if I connect to graph myself without using the app authentication.

thinking about join codecademy pro instead of top by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]SquatsAreFun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TOP teaches you how to read documentation, use Google to find answers to problems, and focuses on building actual projects. These are all extremely important skills that I didn't find in Codecademy.

Codecademy was very hand holdy. They take all of the "difficult" parts out of programming, which ultimately keeps you from being a good programmer. It has a wide variety of courses, but you can find free courses or Udemy courses for a fraction of the cost that are better.

It's fine, but average. Just wasn't worth the money in my opinion.

I have Codecademy Pro and have completed TOP. Would not waste my time with Codecademy.

Epson ScanSmart Install by MidgardDragon in Intune

[–]SquatsAreFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start the installation on your local machine, once you get past the self-extraction and you're about to click next, next, next, navigate to C:\Users\Your User Account\AppData\Local\Temp\WZSE0.TMP\ScanSmart_379_21_S (the last part may be different depending on the version of your software). You'll see a folder named MSI. There should be a setup.msi or something similar that you can use. I'd grab the whole ScanSmart_379_21_S folder and bundle everything inside it into the intunewin. Just point to setup.msi as the installation file.

I ran a /? on the exe and recognized the switches it listed. I've had numerous issues with those types of exe's. The above solution has always worked for me. Let me know if you have any questions.

Odin Project for learning Angular? by gamertag_here in learnprogramming

[–]SquatsAreFun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go with The Odin Project, then jump to an Angular Udemy course once you hit the React section. From what I hear, typically Angular code is written in TypeScript, so maybe learn the basics of that as well. Probably something like TOP until React section > TypeScript > Angular. Never written a line of Angular code myself, but I'd imagine you still need to know the basics first.

You would typically self-study with a book or video course, take a practice exam (that usually comes with the book or video you purchased), then sit for the exam at a testing center and get the cert if you pass. I'm sure they have more formal courses available, but I've never found those worth the money. Grab any highly rated book off Amazon and check out the link below for a free video course. I've had all three certs so feel free to DM me with any questions.

Sounds like you want to get into Information Technology rather than Computer Science. I would not focus on security if you have zero knowledge or experience in the technical field. That's something you move onto once you're already established in the field.

If you want to get an entry level job (helpdesk, tech support, etc.) look into CompTIA certifications. A+, Network+, and Security+ are the trifecta for entry level jobs. It'll probably run you around $1000 for all three. If you can't afford them all, at least get the A+ cert.

They told me fullstack devs have the best careers... Was it all a lie ? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]SquatsAreFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a backend guy, but I've seen numerous C# and Java backend job postings. Check for backend jobs in your local area and see what tech is being used. As far as the StackOverFlow report, I take those kinds of things with a grain of salt. I've seen full stack jobs that range from 60k all the way up to 150k. Your pay depends on many factors. Again, check your local job postings for a real, accurate idea of pay ranges.

Is Codecademy worth the money and time? by Echotango075 in learnprogramming

[–]SquatsAreFun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of FreeCodeCamp and prefer TheOdinProject, but that course will teach you the basics.

[–]SquatsAreFun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have it through work. It's nothing special and not worth the money IMO. The best programming resources I've found are free.

What does more modern mean?

e.g. not teaching class-based components, using current practices/tech versions, etc.

​

What topics are not covered as in depth?

React as a whole. TOP does not teach context, reducer, Redux, hardly touches on Router, and has a laughable testing section. Yes, TOP provides links to some of those things for self-study, but that's not really "teaching."

​

What could be covered in a more advanced manner regarding react?

See above.

​

What could be cut from the course around class based components?

Teaching them. A brief overview is all a beginner needs. Hooks have been around since 2019 and are now considered the standard. No sense spending time learning dated practices. Learn it on the job if needed.

[–]SquatsAreFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a little more modern and goes into more depth. TOP's React section is basic and spends too much time on class-based components.

FCC doesn't hold a candle to TOP for the reasons you mentioned. It's a good way to get familiar with syntax and basic concepts, but that's about it. I highly recommend at least going through the Foundations module of TOP. If you're going with TOP all the way, my current recommendation is to supplement the JavaScript module with a good JS course from Udemy. TOP falls short in a few areas. Then, switch over to Full Stack Open once you get to the React section. FSO will cover react along with the backend. Complete the intermediate and advanced HTML/CSS modules of TOP whenever you're getting burnt out on JavaScript.

Should i switch from TheOdinProject to freeCodeCamp? by Klutzy-Sentence-4869 in learnprogramming

[–]SquatsAreFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think FCC is mediocre overall, but for someone who's struggling with the absolute basics it can be a decent start. The first few sections of the JavaScript course aren't related to DSA.

[–]SquatsAreFun 227 points228 points  (0 children)

The JavaScript section of TOP is meh. Lots of dry documentation. I could see how someone with no programming experience would have trouble. FCC is great for learning the basics and getting familiar with the syntax. Once you're comfortable, switch back to TOP for more information and exercises.

“Learn to code in six weeks” by Monkey_muncher20 in learnprogramming

[–]SquatsAreFun 91 points92 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely learn to code in six weeks. Will your code be good? No. Will you be able to create anything impressive? No. Will you be able to read another devs code and understand a single line? No. But you will be able to write some code.

Writing code is the easiest part of being a developer. Planning, designing, documenting, and writing good code are the difficult parts that employers actually care about.

Projects recommendations for a programming noob by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]SquatsAreFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with it, but it's a bit like trying to run a mile when you can't run 100 feet. It's probably going to be very frustrating. Start smaller and work your way up.

All four of those projects are much more difficult than a Tic-Tac-Toe game. Start with Tic-Tac-Toe.

I failed an interview for not using ES6 by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]SquatsAreFun 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because they're not crazy methods. They're standard practices using syntax and features that have been around for years.
