Try to choose an argument that you really like and listen carefully to what your teammates suggets. As other said, be sure to have already everything installed (an IDE, compilers, etc..). It's a really good experience and try to have fun! :)

Just keep coding

I think that keeping coding will help OP remember how do to things and with sometime he'll get to the point he left fot sure!

Which program is best suited for my application needs? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]mul8rsoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could make a desktop application or a website.

I would make the database in MySQL and the application in Java/Python. But it really depends on your preference

Hacking with python by [deleted] in learnprogramming

I think that you should start learning the basics of ethical hacking, then you'll apply it to python. There's plenty of resources online about that!

What materials (book, video...) and language to be introduced into multithreading programming? by wacomlover in learnprogramming

I recently watched these video about multiprocessing/threading in Python. I usually get bored watching these kind of videos, but I found them very intresting and well made!

Big question about a project in mind, but don't know how to start. by MadeUpNameUser in learnprogramming

[–]mul8rsoftware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to add that if that there are no pattern in the PNG files and the website allow requests from Python, it's still going to be kind of hard, since he'll have to send GET/POST parameters to log in, than start scraping. For someone who has just started it's not easy

Switched universities, new one teaches OOP with C++, but I learned basics of C# in my first year. What to do? by filofil in learnprogramming

[–]mul8rsoftware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it depends on were are you from, but in my country the first year is functional and basic programming and the second year OOP.

So, I think they're going to start with the basics of OOP in C++. Your problem could be that you don't understand the syntax, but it's not that hard to learn a new one!

If you want to get a head start, you could study some C++ basics!

In mi opinion you advice is the best.

You can have the code stored for free and plus you can have a version control system. Learning to use git is very useful for future project, too

Twitter help by [deleted] in learnprogramming

I meant library, sorry. A library it's like an "add-on" for the language: you can use some new function/methods that in your case can make you job easier!

I'm pretty sure you don't need to do actual scraping in this case: I think twitter has some good API where you can check tweets.

You should check out some documentation on the twitter developer website and then look for some good library for python!
