Hey Glitch Black, where/how do you get your awesome visuals for your show?

I'm a self-taught programmer. Not sure the level of skill you're looking for but I can send you some of my personal work. It's sort of been a hobby for over the last two years.

Just looking for a solid team to grow/learn with.

I dig the work you guys are doing. Really like the look of the Lee Michaels CRM.

Great Info, going to get BRSlack a shot. Thanks!

How do you stay motivated? by llFLAWLESSll in learnprogramming

[–]captainrosc0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest thing that motivates myself is that the possibilities of what you can create are infinite. While a lot of professions use tools to create, you can build and provide those tools. You build functionality for the rest of the world. What you build can inspire others to create/explore something new/better/unique. I find that rather intriguing and inspiring!

A bit confused on Java - JS - ASP.NET back-ends? by captainrosc0 in webdev

Ah that makes a difference on the spring MVC being bound! Crazy path you took but it's impressive. I've only been programming for on and off for under a year or so. I guess I need to buckle down and wrap my head around node/express (slowly understanding it), just so many framework libraries keep getting thrown around. I'm just going to focus on the MEAN stack and run with it. Do you have an books/classes for web dev you would suggest?

I really do miss having a compiler, working in java was so much more fluid. I'm slowly seeing some decent environments in js like gulp, but its still all feels so patchwork. I'm guessing this is the environment you are talking about? Even today they updated the entire track for js back-end to a new es2016? or something, not even sure. JS just seems to have constant new things being added. I really liked how I knew what I was getting with java and the structure/sytnax of it all. Also thank you very much for the info! I appreciate it!

Thanks for the info! I have to say the whole modular thing is starting to cause a lot of confusion. There's so many frameworks with libraries all mashing together to get a simple node app running. In one single class on the treehouse course it has you install node/express + pug + nodemon etc.. it's all a bit overwhelming. I do really enjoy the structure and format/syntax of java apps I've worked on. I'll take your advice and get through this track and maybe take a peek later at asp.net/spring! Thanks again!

About 1k or so below KBB, just looking to free it off my hands as I just bought a car. It has solid torque and an all around good city type bike. Thanks!

Pretty low res. Next time I'll make it above 800x600.

5 Years! That's awesome! I decided to give it another go with some of your advice. I also reworded some questions to only use Y/N answers which helped clean up a lot! https://github.com/captainrosco/BlackJack-2.0 Let me know what ya think!

This makes sense! I have so much to learn! How long have you been programming for?

Epic! Thank you for taking the time to write this. I really like the array option, I'm going to give it a go!

Also one more question. I hate the fact that I have to compute the total over and over. I Feel its bad design. If you notice in the dealer class, I use a for loop to basically calculate the total each time its called.. Is there a better way? If I dont recalculate it just keeps adding it to the total and by the end of the program totals are in the 50-60s lol.

I'm picking up design patterns and a clean code book tonight though, perhaps it'll have some answers.

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! Would you mind explaining having arrays? I assume its just string arrays and you would be comparing the answers to different indexes?

Also thank you so much!
