good stuff man :)

Been learning some web dev stuff, I’mma pull an S and work on these ideas

Pluralsight still free till next week. Get your education up

Nice. Making KTT3, I see

Ngl, Kotlin is pretty sick. Default arguments to prevent writing different function signatures and preventing overloads is nice. Typescript also has this with optional arguments, but still sick

Everyday I wish I did CS and not electrical engineering. I’m probably gonna do a masters in CS or Data science. I can code but never used it at work

What’s the difference?

LMFAOOOOOOOOO WHAT

lots of peeps in my school who do that do coding courses too. depending on electives, maybe its not too different.

Not a lot of coding in electrical. You only learn java and c. And you probably will just use C & MATLABuntil you graduate. It’s more hardware, like breadboard, oscilloscope, voltmeter. Honestly, CS is the way. I’m really interested in Data Science rn

yes and no. i self taught myself to the point of getting accepted to a masters, but i haven't learned all that much about programming on it, mostly helpful for low level cs stuff like compilers and hardware

TBH for the first time I have no fckn idea what this subject is doing there

But the concept is that we're using Newton laws, midpoint formulas and s*** in that field to predict for example the speed of a ball at the end of a ramp, the way the ball on a string is going to swing etc.

NGL I'm kinda f***ed, bc if I was acing everything we've been doing so far, with this I don't even know what were actually doing and exams are next months...

Someone here f***s with Mobile Dev?

tl'dr: Flutter or Kotlin for an app project and future in mind?

I'm a 4th semester CS so there's a lot in front of me

But I was thinking about having a lil project with my friend during summer to create a chatting app with features similar to SnapChat.

My first thought was. Dope! Imma learn Flutter and we will make an app for that. (Since Flutter is everywhere on youtube)

But now that I'm reading about Android programming (we both have Androids so that would be our main platform) It looks like Kotlin is the only way to go.

So now let's say I'd want my app to be very P2P, with most of the computing being done on the clients phone.

I'm starting to feel like Flutter might not let me do the things I want to do. And also I don't want to spend a lot of time now learning something that only handful of companies need

So...

Should I learn Flutter and is it possible to make a complex app with it?

Or should I stick to Kotlin (I'm already pretty solid in Java so it'd probably be a clean transition) and learn to write pro Android Apps?

My knowledge on Flutter and Kotlin are limited, but I think it'll be better to use Kotlin for proper access to Android APIs. You may run into more complications or hurdles with Flutter than Android for the purposes of your app.

Also, as you stated, learning Kotlin will be better for you in the long term due to companies still prefer native development rather than something cross platform that still needs some work

css is aids

Media queries bane of my existence

Has anyone here taken CS50: Introduction to Computer Science?

yep that's my major, what's up?

I work in a think tank but on the business side. Man, what I’d give to become a dev. Wish I studied comp sci fully post secondary

I really hate math lol

I'm finishing my second year of CS and realized I need to start looking for internships soon

Problem is I don't really know where to put my focus on

I know java, python, a bit of C++ and started C# with .NET Core WEB API this semester. On the side I started a full-stack JS course and It was pretty fun being able to control everything from database to how the app responds to requests.

I love building stuff, creating things people can use and that are useful. I don't want to end up as a developer for a bank where no one can actually see the work but they expect everything to work.

Where should I put my focus now to be set for life?

Thought about learning JS since it's like English of programming languages but I'm afraid it is connected to Front-End too much.

Thought about going into mobile Android development but I don't know if it's actually a good and wanted job? And then - Java or Kotlin?

Or maybe I should learn Python to perfection and learn some frameworks like Django? But is it a good place to start?

I think I have a lot of programming knowledge. I'm at the point where I can learn languages fast. But the "software engineer" term is so broad I don't know how to bite it

Any help fam?

what types of problems you want to solve? i know that its like "duh no s***" but that's really .. what it boils down to

I love creating 'things'

I want to solve 'real life' problems. It might be a broad answer. But what I mean by that Is that I'd rather be on a team that has to build an improved way to categorize taks in Google Tasks than to work as a back end for a bank where my job would be to 'make it work'

The main point is I like to see the results.
I'd love to be able to be one of those guys that just have an idea and they sit for two days straight and build a website/app

I'm doing some heavy searching last couple days and I think it all boils down to Mobile dev or Web dev

or maybe give it my 100% and try both

problem is I don't know what to pick
Android and Kotlin? Web and JS or Python?

Being able to do PROJECTS is the goal

solve your real life problems. also dont get hung up too much on languages, just go build something now if that's what you want to do.
