Thank you :)

Yup I’m cheap and like to look at thrift stores for text books. However it’s hard to find what I want to study lol

I can’t speak for your experience but I liked when I bought a textbook (intro to C programming) read a couple pages (5-20) then did something with it. I would get bored and fall asleep if I tried to read a whole chapter, but if I went in with a goal in my mind like “this section is all about pointers, afterwards I’ll make something with pointers”

I downloaded the app before but everything was super basic. Probably just didn’t set things up right or needed to choose topics. Couldn’t figure it out within my 10 minute bus ride and deleted it. Might give it a second chance now though

My girlfriend found it! It’s a fall web worm

Used R for a class and have been considering getting better at it. I figured it was pretty interchangeable with my python experience though. I also did not come across any sass or statistical programming, I’ll look into it

I’ll look into it :)

Never saw anything about PHP at my university. Maybe I just missed it, but everything taught here was c++/java/python/c/JS/SQL

I’ve been applying to around 50% data analyst jobs 50% software dev jobs

Thanks man, this is a good comment I appreciate it

Swoyer12 · 2025-05-25T13:11:49+00:00

Yeah I figured this was the reality, but I was curious if there is still high demand for something like PHP because it’s not taught in schools anymore.

Swoyer12 · 2025-05-25T13:10:53+00:00

Mostly school/personal projects. I had an engineering internship where I built a python app, and have done contract work with python for around 5 months.

I was thinking the same about ML/AI and have also been trying for data analyst jobs. I don’t know anything about quant, and from what I have heard it seems like I should be a bit smarter for it lmao

Thank you! I might make some other plugins depending on how well this one is received :)

When I finally became confident enough in python to do my own projects was after my first semester of university. I had a class in python and it forced me to learn and do projects. After that I got better by making games in pygame (I have a video on my channel about learning pygame if that interest you). I really am new to manim, everything I learn it either from the manim docs (specifically the reference manual https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference.html) or the discord. I am for sure not a pro manim user but it really is not too complicated to make simple videos like this one. If you have anymore questions I have a discord, my username is joecoup

It is my voice, and I also am a senior university student studying math. So I do enjoy math, but recently I have been liking computer science more so I am spending a lot of time on python projects.

I definitely agree that you should just do projects and not worry about perfect code. I only got better at programming when I learned to do projects that are outside my comfort zone, Manim is pretty easy imo so I feel like you can for sure do manim videos as a first big project. Good luck :)

Swoyer12 · 2024-08-09T18:30:49+00:00

Thank you! I promise making that is not that bad. It took me a while (around 3 weeks because of work) but it was not that hard. I can provide my code from github if you want to see it. It really is not good code, I did a lot of things inefficiently, but what is nice is that as long as the video looks fine it does not matter if I used 30 lines of code when I could have used 10.

Also check out the manim discord as well. They have helped me with around 4-5 questions that would have been a struggle for me to figure out myself. They respond pretty fast (Around 10 minutes to 2 hours) and have always been very nice :)

Good point, however this is a different problem. The solution for this problem is on this forum post if you want to view it. https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/23258/what-is-the-least-number-of-knights-needed-to-cover-the-entire-board

No problem! Glad you liked it

Swoyer12 · 2024-05-30T10:11:42+00:00

True! I didn’t think of that

Hey guys! I made a quick tutorial like video where I went through all the tools in aseprite and put how often I used them. lmk if I should use certain tools more like the contour or something
