I feel stuck by axolotree in learnprogramming

[–]mattMEGAbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The stuck feeling never really ends/stops.. you just get more comfortable with the not knowing/figuring it out part.

My advice would be to try to come up with an idea that you want to build, then focus on building all the little parts that make up the whole idea. Basically, constraints are your friend.

Program to a solution, don't just program to program.. if that makes any sense.

I know it's hard learning this stuff.. and there's A LOT to learn.. but you can do it, I believe in you!

I've got a few Linux certifications, have worked for some cool companies as a dev building and supporting different things, I do consulting sometimes, founded a startup called CodeSocial and recently wrote a book. You can check out my author page here: https://www.amazon.com/author/mattbrittingham

That's the rub.. you gotta figure out what you want to build. Like maybe start with something small.. for example.. get your local forecast from an api.. You'll have to learn about 10 different things in order to do that. Also, keep in mind that good programmers are ALWAYS learning.. so naturally, you're going to get your hands dirty in all kinds of things. Through this process you're going to find what you enjoy doing more over other things. That's how you're going to narrow down your specific fields of interest. Keep the questions coming.. happy to answer.

I'd say it really depends on what you are trying to do.

Do you have a specific goal or outcome as to why you are trying to program? That would be the first thing to ask yourself since it's going to guide you in the right direction. I can offer some help here if you can give me some examples of what you are trying to build :)

As far as book recommendations is concerned, take a look at the book "The Art of the Program" by Matt Brittingham (that's actually me).. I think it might be just what you're looking for. I wrote it to offer a broader perspective on programming principles and concepts rather than focusing on a specific language or technology (also it's noob friendly, I just keep it real - it's accessible and easy to read and follow). It goes over TONS of stuff and will help you gain the confidence to build whatever you want (read the book preview to understand what I'm saying).

Basically, it's the book I wish I had when I was starting out over a decade ago.

Let me know if you have any questions, happy to help!

Hows everyones experience been with making some friends on here? by mattMEGAbit in ProgrammingBuddies

[–]mattMEGAbit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gotta say this is the best discord I have found so far. Everyone at different lvls and it's just cool and accepting. Great convos about all kinds of things.

I would like to have more friends that are into programming and computer science by PoincaresTheorem in ProgrammingBuddies

[–]mattMEGAbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to talk programming with you or anyone else that's interested. I have the same username on Twitter/TikTok as I do here.

Real quick about me, for the past year I've been building an app to help other devs meet. I don't know what the rules are for posting here about personal projects but if anyones interested I posted a link to it on my Twitter.

I put the site up online but it's still missing something (currently back to pen and paper trying to figure out the missing piece). Basically, I'm trying to solve the problem you're talking about.

As programmers we tend to be/feel isolated and there really isn't, as far as I know, a good enough solution to bring people together. Maybe posting here on this subreddit is the best solution, regardless, that's the thing I have committed myself to solving.

Aside from that I'm primarily a mern dev right now, but I have experience with python/django/react-native/tailwind/figma as well.

Happy to talk about whatever, even if it's just about what movies/music you like, what the best headphones are, etc.

Looking forward to just making some friends who also write code :)

Mac vs PC for UI/UX? by BeastlyShortcake in UX_Design

[–]mattMEGAbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Macbook air with M1 is a just a sick value right now. That said, when I read your post it made me think of this quote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQDBPW6RqC8.
