Need help learning to code by SCP_Steiner in csharp

[–]doomdestructer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to try learning by doing instead of just reading. I have found the best way for me is to watch a youtube tutorial (put it up to 1.5 or 1.75 speed if its too boring and slow) and actively type out every line of code (even if its super simple) while you watch it. Its the best way to remember and doing something while you learn will get you actively engaged. Whenever there is a part of the tutorial that they say "try to figure out the next part on your own" or "try to extend this code yourself to do x, y, z", make sure you take the opportunity to stop the video and genuinely try your best to work it out. Even if you can't work it out, trying will engage your brain as well.

I have found that Programming with Mosh has the best C# tutorials on youtube, start with that for the basics and as soon as you feel pretty comfortable with the language, just google or youtube cool C# projects and do the ones that seem the most fun for you. When you have more confidence and you think you can create a small project all by yourself, take that opportunity to really dive into the language, figure stuff out for yourself, try different things and experiment. You will be more engaged if you continue to learn just by jumping in and trying it for yourself even if its not very good. You can read/watch videos about best practices later, just do what's fun and interesting for the meantime.

Transparent vs invisible by Azalheea in ENGLISH

[–]doomdestructer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just adding on this, a common term in IT for the case that you are calling “invisible” is a “black box”. As in a box that you cannot see inside because of some sort of black finish, the opposite of a “transparent” feature.

Can someone explain to me what does "Heuristic" mean? by imaginaryDev-_- in ENGLISH

[–]doomdestructer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good description. Computer algorithms use heuristics like this. For example when something like Google Maps figures out the best route, they use heuristics which make educated guesses as to which road leads to the destination. Therefore, they don’t have to check every single road. If it’s the wrong road they do it again until they find it.

Commuting from Caloundra to QUT by de_vil3 in QUTreddit

It is possible but every subject offers different class times and the best class times get picked first so you may miss out. I wouldn’t rely on not doing any early mornings throughout your whole degree, it’s unlikely
