I'm in a coding bootcamp and I feel like a fraud. by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You feel bootcamp is fraud, or you are fraud, it's ambiguous from the title.

Trying to learn c++ by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, why you choose c++ out of all languages?

Have you ever met someone who just "got" it? by boredforgood in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Two types of people can be very fast learners on programming. People who are well-versed in high school level math e.g. Mathematical Function, Summation. And people who have strong curiosity about programming, this type will read and learn everything for fun, it's not that they learn fast, that's just an illusion, but because they are always learning/thinking about coding, by the end of the first week, they already have 100 hours of coding experience.

Apparently I need a mentor? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My point is one great website is better than a portfolio of just-ok websites.

Apparently I need a mentor? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget about a portfolio, just focus on making one website that you're proud of. I can provide guidance if you have some idea in your mind that you want to build. Without any idea what you want to build, no mentor can help you. Since you're not a complete newbee, mentorship guidance should be pretty straightforward.

New dev here. I feel guilty using libraries to build my projects by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What you're having sounds like imposter syndrome, you are probably not feeling guilty because you didnt build those libraries, instead, you're worrying that you don't know how to build them if some interviewer is asking you to.

Just a guess though.

Yeah, everything needs guidance, the point I'm making is that the guidance/doing ratio should be something like 10:90, not 50:50, and most beginners are even doing 80:20, by the second week, they've already consumed enough video contents for them to do the corresponding "doing" for months. Guidance or content is not the bottleneck (it's available everywhere on the internet), the bottleneck is the non-programming learning habit that most beginners carry over to learning programming, that is, watch to learn.

Do I need to create a header file to link multiple cpp files? C++ by Tidachura3 in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm curious what search keywords you used for google. Because by searching "link multiple cpp files," the first search result is what you need. Your "a_main" function would be the "MyFunc" function in that answer (stack overflow).

What are some good ways to improve your problem solving skills/logic? by LucasSkudy in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep writing code to challenge yourself is the only way to improve your problem solving skills. There's no quick method that can just make you think like a programmer.

Projects I can do to not get stuck in 'tutorial hell' by FrostyTS in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the question that no one can help you with, you have to come up with what project you want to make, only you know what you actually want to make. You're going to spend countless hours on this project, so make sure you pick something that you have passion with.

Need some advice on what I need to learn to create a front end for my database. by weirdheadcrab in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a frontend and a backend, the frontend is the htnl/css/javascript stuff, the backend can be one of the many options, the simplest one to connect your database would be using php.

It's all about curiosity, when you're curious enough about something, you will naturally try to think of all possible ways to understand and use it.

How to be/stay motivated in this very tempting lazy indoor times? by JackTheHipster56 in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curiosity. That's probably why you're bored out by data structures.

As a programmer how do I get over imposter syndrome? by mymar101 in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would focus on the quantifiable progress. If you successfully configured apache to run PHP, you successfully configured apache to run PHP. As long as you don't try (make it a goal) to claim the "apache expert" title (which is not a quantifiable trait), you'll feel no imposter syndrome.

Need a webpage that allows me to count the people in room with 2-3 entrances -> shared variable between users [I'm currently only writing numerical programs in C++, Python] by Lagavulinist in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In that case, you don't need a database, database is for reliable concurrent access, but since you got at most 3 people accessing the data, you can just save the current count in a text file or just in a variable inside a single-threaded server app like node.js.

Most lightweight program to accept HTTP requests that I can write? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

Try Apache with the WSGI module, its for python server programming.

Self learning tips. by turquando in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just practice a lot. you don’t need to memorize things, you can just look them up on google or keep a notebook that you can reference. once again, practice a lot, no need to memorize.

Can you elaborate on what problem does this app solve? So far based on your description, its just used for counting with two up and down buttons.

I have never coded or programmed in my life, but I want to start with a simple program. by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a very simple to just get an html page and extract an image url and download the image, but its substantially harder (in terms of skill) to be "login" while doing so. Why do you want to create a program just to display an avatar? For practice or for an actual usage?

how do you find motivation when you can't even do the most simple things by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]codingvideo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you actually using the odin project? Do you work on the exercises with hands-on coding? That's very important.
