The courses are pretty easy to follow and I like how they don't hold your hand the entire time and have assignments that require you to think and use problem solving skills. My only prior experience was html and css coding and in the few weeks Ive been doing this class I feel confident in the new skills and little useful tools Ive been able to create with python. Id advise you to actually enroll ($50 a month) so you can do the quizzes and assignments but you can always audit the course for free and have access to all the lectures.

What IDE should i use (beginner level)

IDE? For java use IntelliJ

Otherwise VS Code for JavaScript, which is just a code editor but has a lot of plugins

Im using Visual Studio Code on Mac and I like it because it has a built in terminal and I can just run code within it without having to open the actual Mac terminal to run code

why would you learn openGL in the year 2019? Pick up Vulkan and web assembly.

any advice on learning sql? was planning on taking a short udemy course then start practicing afterwards

playing around with p5.js is helping me learn JS

sqlzoo.net

much of learning how to use sql will be done on the job though since it's largely just querying. but focus more on learning the syntax at first.

Is there a MDN type of alternative for looking up methods in Swift? Or just docs.swift.org ?

flutter VS react native?

I haven't used flutter, but react native is really good if you have JavaScript ES6 background.

Native is also more popular so if you run into any issues/errors might have an easier time googling for them compared to flutter.

Native also has more third party packages to use, but I think that Flutter has more out of the box tools than Native so you might not even need 3rd party stuff for native.

Job market wise I think native is more widely used.

I think flutter is more efficient so if you're making a game or doing something intensive where performance matters flutter is the better choice.

That's just my two cents from using native for the past two months and my quick research I did before deciding on which one to go with.

thanks for showing me ur side overall i feel like flutter IS growing very very quickly so i can see it becoming huge in a few years at this point flutter seems like a slightly riskier pick than native

Yeah that's the thing.

When doing my research I felt that flutter was better overall, but I was unsure if it would take off. You don't want to spend time learning something then all of sudden people are no longer using it. I was already doing react for web development so it was easier to with native.

i feel like google is kinda iffy with these types of things, they seem to randomly drop projects out of nowhere. lets see where this goes
might have a go with flutter and see how it goes tbh

been stuck on js for awhile. trying to learn everything and now that i have a mac, i want to mess with ios dev. i really need to stick to one thing for now

watch this video and go do ios

Quines

Just starting my first kaggle comp, titanic ML to predict who survived

I can send you the book from my uni( an ebook) that i use to study c and c++ from.

Its a big book,but if your patient enough to go through it im sure that you will see results.

Edit: Its the "how to program in c deitel 7th edition

god damn, stuck at state and lifecycles with react.

how do yall come up with app projects to make? rn I just try and look at other people portfolios and gather inspiration for what they made.

I know a good idea of one of my first major projects would actually be creating the portfolio itself to hold all of my creations.

Just got into coding back in april and know basic python and js up to OOP and most of ES6. rn I'm just trying to learn react and on my downtime of learning I'm just playing around with p5.js to still code with my brain off to just play around.

Hey guys I need help with some career deciding decision about college that I have to make soon so I figured you could help me with it, it's a long post so please bear with me

In Egypt, in 12th Grade I had to choose between Science (Biology, Geology) and Maths (Calculus integration and differentiation Algebra, Mechanics statics and dynamics and solid geometry )

I leaned towards science and picked it and now I have the option to go to college branch called Bioinformatics which deals with DNA, Enzymes, Proteins and Programming of genome and I read about it so it turned out to be Computer Science with some Biology sprinkled on top since i chose science in high school. I like that college because it opens up many job opportunities for me so I can either work as a researcher in labs and microbiology and a programmer or I can simply work as an IT manager in any company and deal with programming in a business or freelance just as any regular computer science graduate

In grade 11 I was good at Maths tbh I had very good grades in it but I absolutely hated Calculus to the point I had to just memorize how a question looks so I can solve it instead of understanding where the rule came from so that's why I chose science. I am not sure tho that my level in Mathematics would be as good as it was in grade 11 now that I totally quit it in grade 12 except for basic rules and equations used in physics

In the 4 or 5 years of Computer Science will I need to use Calculus and will I need to be almost perfect in it or can I do well and learn everything in programming without being top level at calculus? will I have to use it in everything I do in college and also when I graduate or will it be a year or two of 4 or 5 where I need to learn calculus to be able to code and stuff like that in order to pass? I don't wanna have a hard time in college because I may have other options but this one is just requested in the job market that's why I am interested in it

Thank you
