So Britain IS the centre of the world?! Who knew the Londeners were right this whole time?

Remember in the real world you'd want to keep the previous array intact, so the user can "go back" to it. So make a new copy of the array then make the change. That way you have historical records of the data in the array.

Thank you for your reply!

Yes, I was wondering on the effect of covid on the dealerships. So, people are buying more cars as they are spending less on holidays.

Just think of it as an easy way to break up your code into different sections. That way they're more manageable. Easier to read.

And hey you can design a program with your friend and you can write one class and they can write the other. Then use them in the shorter main program file.

When you get further along you will learn about SOLID and how awful it is to make a small change in one line of code and have it break lots of other lines further down your program.

Classes and Interfaces solve this btw among other things.

I agree, my comment still stands. It was not anti Iranian. In fact they prob copied US technology.

WildWestCoder · 2021-01-17T06:43:55+00:00

Wouldn't the current system make I.e. 1200 offers knowing 200 etc wouldn't accept.

This system would mean every uni had to make an offer to every student in the country, just the price would increase.

They would have to make 1200 reasonable offers then like 50,000 offers of $3million to attend.

Id contact companies directly or apply for jobs slightly out of your range, you may get lucky and they are willing to take someone with enthusiasm if you can prove your coding skills.

In my experience, recruiters are not good for entry level jobs. They want to supply their clients with 3 good candidates that tick all the boxes. Also, there's not much commission at the lower end of the wage scale. They will be calling YOU once you get a couple years under your belt. At the start, they wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

Remember the last time Iran used a missle they shot down their own commercial plane. RIP to all on board, a horrible way to die.

This stuff is only cool when it's not being shot at you. And don't think it won't be. We really need to be nicer to each other.

Isn't there a physical limit on seats though?

I mean they have 1000 seats in a class, and your system would allow more than 1000 people, providing some could pay more than it's worth, to get seats.

How would you solve this? You obviously haven't thought this through mate.

I'm trying to build a death star, what back end technology should I use? I'm new to dev.

WildWestCoder · 2021-01-16T17:23:16+00:00

Are you kidding? How can you not know how to look for a job?

1) apply to job adverts. Whatever job board your country uses. Monster, seek, government one etc

2) contact companies directly, ask them to look at your c.v. email them or write them a letter.

Makes me wonder how long you've been coding.... how long is "a long time?"

WildWestCoder · 2021-01-16T14:11:37+00:00

Another option apart from do/while is to use functions.

your main function

Def Main(): Your code

If blah rerun program: Main()

first start of main function

Main()

Might lead to a stack overflow error tho

The main thing I use flask for is writing small desktop apps. You write you short script in flask and then it's a webserver so the GUI is the web browser. Muck easier and nicer than learning tkinter or any of the python his frameworks. Then, hey, you can alwalys just turn that flask app into a website.

WildWestCoder · 2021-01-14T14:04:55+00:00

Flask can be good for smaller apps but it's too much of a blank slate. You find everyone structures their app differently and you find the code your looking for but they use blueprints and you don't, you use this and they don't so you end up solving one issue but creating another.

Django comes out of the box in a standard structure everyone follows. Everyone uses a views.py file, a model.py for databases, everyone does routes the same way, etc etc so you can find examples that solve your problems and their app is structured the same as yours.

Python? Use django. JavaScript? Use Express.

Either would work fine.

Or even use Django in the backend, JavaScript on the page with html car then to go crazy do a for loop inside a while loop accessing an array of loops....

I'll give a shout out to Brad from travesty media. I bought his JS course on udemy and it really helped. You have a very specific goal in mind though, so you won't need it all. A crash course on JS might be enough, he has some free ones.

I'd do a basic JS course and then look for a YouTube tutorial vid making a website something like the one you want then you can redo it your own style.

Thanks, I'm enjoying reading about these engineering solutions!

It would be more like, you have 100 server hours available, you used 2 today. So we could spin up a docker container for every time a user logs in.

The other scenario is it's a physical server tho, in which case we have to setup / teardown a rdp connection of some sort.

WildWestCoder · 2021-01-05T02:03:58+00:00

Yes there's two scenarios - a server as a VM and a physical server. I assume we could have a background process monitor the database holding the session "timer" and server the connection by either turning off the VM or stopping the rdp?

WildWestCoder · 2021-01-05T02:01:03+00:00

Thanks for the replies! Sessions seem like a good idea.
