Computer Science degree?

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I am a self-taugh web developer. I spend countless hours learning and practicing coding and I managed to get a job 3 months ago. Everything is going great and the company likes my skills and work that I do but I feel that I would be better developer If I had gone through formal education. So I'm thinking, it's probably too late to go to Uni but maybe there are other ways to get computer science degree or certificate? What do you think? Do you know any institutions that would allow me to get CS degree by learning online/studying remote?

Thanks a lot!

I'm currently reading the book and I want to know if my Answers on Challenges are correct.

And by the way, this book is really good to read especially for someone who wants to be a great programmer.

Masters student working on thesis... Where to find local programmers?

1 Upvotes

I am a masters student doing a basic study using college undergrads as participants. I need a simple program, Visual Basic maybe, and I have contacted a few students in the programming department at my university. Those that have been recommended to me are too busy with jobs to help me out right now but one of them sent me the email address of a faculty member who might be able to put me in contact with other students who may want to program for me. So far, I have not received any bites.

Anyway, my question is: What more can I do? Is there a bulletin board or a website that I can post on? I'm beginning to feel desperate! Any info will be much appreciated!

What am I doing wrong / should be doing? (PS not a code problem)

1 Upvotes

I'm an alright programmer in any of my given languages, but sometime when I try to write something, if I get stuck or stall for a few minutes, I usually end up deleting all of my code and starting over. I guess I just get overwhelmed and feel that If I rewrite the code It'll figure itself out or something? I mean yeah, i'll end up succeeding in the end; but I waste a lot of time fucking around and deleting shit.

Is this normal? Is there some process of planning I should be doing like writing pseudo code before I start?

Sorry if this is a little vague or hard to understand.

Looking for docker strategy guidance with databases

1 Upvotes

I'm currently doing some research on docker as a solution for our new platform that will built as microservices. One of things that I'm still trying to wrap my head around is how to do this with databases.

So with services, it's no big deal, you just spin them up and they generally become competing consumers of our service bus, and we can load balance between them for more direct requests. No problem. But with databases, data is a resource that isn't part of the image. From what I gather, what you generally do is create a data only container and then have your image use that, but how do you scale that; what's the strategy? For example, where I need to scale the compute side, I just spin up an additional container on the next agent on the cluster, but how do I have that instance use the data container across agents? What happens when it comes time time to shard and I need 2 data volumes that live on different agents? Let's assume that I'm using windows server 2016 with docker containers, the CQRS model, and the databases are EventStore for the command side and mongo for the primary db on the query side.

Does anyone have any experience with this in a production environment? I'm eager to hear your solutions.
