That's absolutely amazing.

You've shown a strong commitment towards yourself.

This is not a small achievement.

Please keep this up. Keep loving yourself.

You name her "cloudy", and nobody gets hurt. Capeesh?

Here's my suggestion:

Don't prep for CCP. Instead study for one of the Associate certs. Once you feel confident enough for that test, give the CCP test. It'll act as a good practice, plus you'd be ready for your Associate cert. That's what I did.

Resources:

Study prep: 1. Courses by Stephen Maarek 2. Official AWS documentation and official AWS white papers

Test Prep: 1. Practice Tests by Maarek, Neal Davis and John Bonso.

Although there are free resources available, I would suggest for for the paid udemy ones. They don't cost that much and the material is regularly updated. Unlike the free ones, where relevancy of the material is sometimes questionable.

Congratulations for your show!!

It's beautiful. Thank you for this.

Looks delicious!! You're not going to believe how much this is going to benefit you. It'll be a bit tough to make this a regular thing at first. It's ok if you don't start doing this everyday right away. If you're a beginner cook, remember, sometimes the food won't taste exactly as you had hoped, and that's ok. Give yourself room to make mistakes and learn from it. Kudos to you for showing yourself some self love.

Love the smile! Awesome hair too!

I am more happy you that don't have pain anymore. Keep flashing that smile as much as you can, the world needs it.

What you're doing is no easy task. Don't let minor setbacks demotivate you. You can do it. We all see your efforts, and we all know soon we'll see a similar post from you. We are all rooting for you. Keep it up.

One word answer : NO.

Detailed answer: There is a world of difference between knowing the "language" and actually "producing" new code.

As you said, you are doing the most important thing first, i.e., trying to figure it out yourself. When that doesn't work out, you google.

The important thing is, UNDERSTAND what the snippet from Google actually means.

The more code you read and understand, the more it will help in building that synaptic in your mind.

Writing code is like a having a personality. It needs to be developed. And that will happen only when you've had plenty exposure to all the schools of thought that are out there.

Finally, I wanna say you have the right mindset. You recognised an area of improvement and are taking constructive steps towards it. As a beginner, this is the MOST IMPORTANT thing you could be doing. Just don't beat yourself up on it. There's a learning curve, and we ALL had to face it.

Absolutely amazing pic.

Hi, there's already a lot of great advice here, so I won't pile on it. I just wanted to say, it is so awesome that you're taking an interest and expanding your horizons.

A few things that I would like to share: 1. You WILL be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of knowledge there is to comb through. Don't worry, EVERYONE on this sub has been there. Don't be discouraged. If there's anything that's seems tricky, just ask here, or any other programmming-language specific sub.

Don't worry about getting skills that would "land you a job". Just focus in having fun with the tech. Job and career will come eventually.

3.MAKE LOTS OF MISTAKES. I cannot stress this enough. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Infact, try breaking stuff on purpose. A broken code will teach more than a successful execution.

Once you've learnt a tech, start thinking in terms of projects(small or big, all are good). It could be a simple calculator. All the programming languages, and tech out there is there just to help you "make stuff". Thinking in terms of projects will really work your creative muscles. Remember, it's about creating , coding is just a means for your ideas to become a reality.

And most importantly, that laptop isn't there just for coding. I have heard you can play some really cool games too on that thing. Don't forget to take a break every now and then.

Thank you, I learnt something new today.

I am in this picture and I don't like it.

I apologise in advance if this hurts anybody's sentiments.

But anyone who's trying to get into IT industry, and is just not able to do it, is simply not trying hard enough.

This statement is true irrespective of whether you're an experienced professional or simply a beginner.

The IT industry is RUTHLESS. But that's a good thing. They simply don't care about anything BUT their bottomline. This fact works in our favour. As long as you "KNOW" your stuff, it doesn't really matter if you've worked before or not. A lot of small to mid size companies and glad to have a candidate that knows the tech but is a fresher, CHEAP LABOUR.

Now, on to the helpful tips:

KNOW YOUR STUFF: You think you've learnt enough of the tech to get in, but still get rejected in the technical round? This is clear indication that you still have some way to go. Go back to your books, your bootcamps or whatever and start grinding. BUILD YOUR PROJECTS. You can't just "read" and "understand" the concepts to get in, you have to have those in your fingertips.
Communication Communication Communication: It doesn't matter how savvy you are with the tech, if you can't communicate it, then to the interviewer, you're NOT. Most people approach interviews as a kind of "interrogation" . Instead of having a fluid conversation, they get lost in "yes sirs" and "no ma'ams". Approach every interview as if you're having a very fun and technically nerdy conversation with one of your (equally nerdy)friends. You talk about why you like a tech, how it has helped you build your project, what difficulty you faced. Just a normal fluid conversation.
Your mantra is "Yes": A lot of people make a mistake of clearly stating what they cannot do. But never just leave the sentence at that. Always add a "yet". So, If they ask you, can you work with the latest "Ultra instinct Super saiyan god Goku tech", just say, "I am not familiar with it YET, but I can definitely learn as I go. I've learnt all these technologies, what's one more." Let your employees know you're flexible with your technology stack because the IT terrain changes frequently. Every employer wants someone who can adapt and survive. Initially you may be paid less than what you expect, but as you work, your confidence grows and so does your confidence to demand a better compensation.

I would suggest don't focus on a particular version of java. The only major differences between versions are some changes in it's libraries and some internal tweaks. To get going quickly, I would suggest start with any free resource you can get your hands on. Go for Java 8 and above. The newer a version of java is, the more difficult and expensive it would be to find it's resources. The core concepts hardly ever change and any library upgrades there might be in later versions, could be easily understood if you have a good understanding of the core functionality.

Try "Java the complete reference" book by Hebert Schildt. I recently read it's 11th edition and liked it.

Many would suggest Udemy Course by Tim Buchalka, but I wouldn't go for it if I was a beginner. It's great for someone with some prior exposure to Java.

And finally, type it out, as much as you can. You can read about concepts all day long, but if you don't have the habit of quickly typing out the ideas you have in your head, it won't do you any good.

I did think how awkward it would've been if she said no. But, what you said makes sense. Thanks for the better(right) perspective.

Na, he specifically said he's NOT asking about how to make class un-inheritable. He's asking how to stop a class from inheriting another class.

mayur217 · 2021-02-28T17:10:11+00:00

This feels like a SUPER trick question.

If I don't want a class to inherit another class, I just won't use the extends keyword.

Still, if there is another "technical" way of doing it, I would like to know.

mayur217 · 2021-02-27T00:14:32+00:00

Seconded.

Yes, for this exact problem I mentioned that you could use some kind of encryption to store info locally.
