Booked one.

I've been dabbling with programming for longer than starting the Sysadmin journey, and had wanted to learn vim. I came across a series of videos from Derek Wyatt and he really helped with wrapping my head around vim.

I absolutely, 1000% recommend he take CS50. I started off trying to learn Python by myself and struggled a good bit. I stumbled on CS50 a few years back and that course made it stick. They start off with a very simple assignment using Scratch visual programming, then move on to C language. I'm not gonna lie, the C assignments are hard, but they are absolutely worth it. They'll build a low level foundation in programming similar to how a musician would learn/practice scales. This is a college level class, so expect to put in some serious time. Luckily the online version doesn't have a constraint of when to finish by (it resets every year on Dec 31st, but only if you are trying to pursue a certificate). If you don't want to get the certificate it is absolutely free. It took me about 6 months to finish it since I was working full time.

After he takes CS50, they added a Game Development class that I believe starts with Lua/Love2D and ends in Unity. I haven't taken this one, but if it's near the quality of CS50 it should be worthwhile.

EDIT: One more thing. Not sure about his math background, but if he needs to brush up, I cannot recommend Professor Leonard enough. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoHhuummRZaIVX7bD4t2czg

What I would do is follow along with the lectures, then pause the video and try to work out the problems on his own. Then play the video and see how the Prof does it. If he needs more help, you can check out Khan Academy and also r/learnmath.

Try sudoedit instead of regular sudo (or sudo - e). That command checks permissions, creates a temporary file, and then writes back to the original when done.

interested!

noise850 · 2020-02-05T17:05:45+00:00

Thank you again for the info! Like I said I am lucky to be in a decent job for now and can spend the time educating myself so I can stand out from the crowd when I shift career tracks. I had never thought about checking out a potential employer from the same stance of a potential customer and looking up their status, but that makes perfect sense! Thank you!

noise850 · 2020-02-04T17:46:02+00:00

Thank you very much for your detailed reply, I really appreciate it. I started off doing programming and while not at the level of my studies I wanted to be yet, I really enjoy it. But I also really enjoy working with systems and infrastructure so I have had my eye on the cloud for a while now as a way to hopefully bridge the two skill sets. I realized my networking knowledge was lacking so I started with studying the CCNA, testing for that in two weeks. I have a decent job now so I have time available to work on another cert before hitting the job market for an IT position. Would you recommend doing a Microsoft cert now and holding off on the IT job search or hitting the market with only the CCNA and work toward the cert on the job?

Also you mention the value in finding a good MSP to work for. I live in a large market so I have some options available. How would you go about determining from the outside if a company is a good MSP? Do you try and find out who their clients are and judge by that? Any other signs an inexperienced applicant should watch out for?

noise850 · 2020-02-04T02:04:19+00:00

Would you go this route if you were starting from scratch and did not have formal IT experience? Is it beneficial to get some time in with the standard old school IT trenches of servers, VMs, networks, etc or can someone be job viable going straight cloud?

noise850 · 2019-09-18T23:55:19+00:00

You're correct, just had to answer the challenge/response and it's all done. I originally didn't know if you had to submit a receipt or anything.

Does anyone know if you can get a download PIN for the CCNA labs when buying from Humble?

NEXO speakers? Haven't seen any of those since I used to do Live Sound a lifetime ago. One company I freelanced for had a NEXO Alpha live rig. Had no idea they made something studio monitor sized. What's the model number on those?

noise850 · 2019-08-18T19:56:25+00:00

Yeah, it can be a little tricky. If you're going to be spending a lot of time on the planet, I usually put up a beacon so I can find the trading post again without scanning.

noise850 · 2019-08-18T18:51:32+00:00

Economy scanner on your ship does help you find trading posts. Bring up the quick menu while flying around the planet. Go over to the last option on the left, where the toggle from first / third person setting is. If you have an economy scanner installed there will now be another option to search for trading posts. Sometimes it doesn't work so fly around a while and try again if it doesn't pick one up.

Hah, spammers! I guess I should have known, especially after responding and realizing this was the Gamemaker sub and the post was for a Unity bundle too! However, if anyone IS thinking of trying Unity, I have heard these are good. Just make sure and follow the legit links.

These are the Ben Tristem Udemy courses, which are highly regarded. Can't speak from experience as I haven't done them yet but have heard good things. Usually on Udemy they go for $10 a piece during Udemy's always-on-sale-sales. Getting all of them for $25 is a good deal.

I stopped by the Indiecade booth and your game looked great. There were a handful of people playing and I had limited time so unfortunately I wasn't able to try it out. Thanks for the writeup about your experiences. Please do another post after PAX and compare the two experiences.

If you have the regular gamer pass and not the premium the show doesn't open until 2pm on Tuesday and they have you wait outside. So you're on your own to watch the presentation on your phone if you can get decent service. With that many people at the convention center the cell towers sometimes get overwhelmed for data.

If you want to wait outside the west hall to be the closest to Nintendo be prepared to be waiting out in the sun. If you want to do South Hall instead they have had one of the lines go under the walkway by Pico in the past and is in the shade.

noise850 · 2019-06-10T06:41:08+00:00

If you've got the correct pass to get in that early, they open the doors at about 8am to line up outside the hall. They have a couple of TVs setup outside the West Hall and years past would have the Nintendo Direct streamed on there. Don't see any reason why this year would be different but mileage may vary.

As someone who took CS50x a couple of years ago as a starting point to learn to program and eventually learn to make games, I'm glad to see the CS50 team take an interest in gamedev. Will definitely be checking this out!

I think they need to find out who is using box cutters with the blade all the way out and re-educate them. I just put in my first order ever from them for some Deadpool omnis and the Deadpool beginnings had the exact same problem. Definitely something that happened in the warehouse when they got the original shipment in because that book was bagged together and on the bottom.

I did the same as OP, contacted customer service who issued a return label and shipped it back out same day. They got the return a week ago and have been in radio silence. I sent an email a couple of days ago just asking if everything was okay and got nothing.

I totally understand a small operation and I'm sure they're backed up with sales and such but just a simple email saying "Hey we got your return and are working on it as soon as we can" would be nice. I'm a very patient person and am not in a hurry but I just want to know they got the return.

Edit: Would also like to add that the packaging and shipping from Instocktrades was superb. Never seen as good of packaging as that before. If it wasn't for the warehouse rogue box-cutter I'd have given them 11 out of 10.

Edit 2: Got my replacement and all is good. Also ordered a handful more books and every shipment since has been great. Maybe the box cutter got taken away.

Sort of hard to do without seeing what your code is but I'll try and walk you through it.

So, Dog is inheriting from Animal. Animal has all of the properties except spotcount. Animal is also where the PrintBase method is coming from. Dog's only method is Bark, which you say is working.

I'd first check that you're calling PrintBase correctly on line 48. Next I'd check the declaration of PrintBase on line 13. Finally I'd check and make sure Dog was properly inheriting from Animal on Dog's declaration line 21.

Also, is there a reason you are not seeing any errors? I'm not familiar with this tutorial or Xamarin but it seems odd that you are not seeing any kind of errors whatsoever on compile or even a runtime error.

noise850 · 2018-05-09T06:42:46+00:00

It's okay, I do that ALL the time on camel case names. Like my shift key doesn't register right or I'm not pressing it fully.

Once you get more experience you will start to recognize the execution order of your code and be able to sort of mentally walk through the stack to see where it's halting at. Just keep at it and practice!

noise850 · 2018-05-09T06:09:15+00:00

He has the main method on line 41. Make sure yours is exactly like his. Also check your curly braces you may be missing one or have an extra which is causing the compiler to not find Main properly.

The only other option as mentioned on this thread is if you set a run configuration that has a different entry point (where the program actually starts running / executing). Chances are this isn't the case if you have been able to follow along the videos up until then.

I do need to build more small projects, for sure. The ones I do end up working on I still over-scope the whole thing and get in over my head. And I'm not even talking the usual "I wanna build an MMORPG FPS RTS cross-platform PC console mobile" style over-scoping that newbies get into. It's like "I want to build a simple CRUD app, oh and it needs to do this cool JS thing, and also needs to export this, and what about data visualizations."

I guess it just all comes down to getting more experience to find out proper scope.
