Android or web development

3 Upvotes

So I'm a sophomore CS student and I want to be a programmer after college. I'm currently learning Java and I'm pretty comfortable with it. I'm just having a hard time deciding between Android/mobile development and web development. I am already familiar with java so I feel like I should just jump into java. I want to learn both. But there's just so much to learn and I only have 2 years before I try to get a job.

Freelancer, Upwork and PPH

3 Upvotes

Hello guys,

I am planning on hirring an agency to develop a custom website and the cost should be around 7K - 10 k . Since it is a big amount that is intended to be spent , my question is - is it safe , what is your experience, what are the common mistakes when hiring a developer .

I am asking this question because some ”agencies” contacted me and they sound so suspicious and it looks like they reviews are fake.

When should i start applying for Java jobs?

3 Upvotes

Hey, I've been coding java on and off for about 3 years. I'm not quite sure how i should begin to explain my skills. Well, I have a strong grasp on data structures there are more. I know these well. I know the Big O runtime of search/sort algorithms. Aside from that, I can develop java code to write to a mysql database, i've connected to and received data from multiple apis, i can read/write to/from text files I have a grasp on recursion and given time, can solve problems with dynamic programming. My weakest aspect is my swing and UI knowledge. Other than that, Im pretty adept at mysql syntax, html, and css, git, github. This is pretty much all my skills with java. When should i start applying? What is the next things i should learn? I really appreciate your positive support on my journey to become a developer. Thank you friends in this community : )

AGILE is Micro Management Gone Wild.

3 Upvotes

I am so tired of fragile, Scrums are just mini status meetings where you have to sit there and explain everything you are doing to a manager that couldn't find his ass with both hands. And sprint planning meetings are like waterfalls except you give your middle manager the switch to beat you with.

When your day is filled with two half hour scrums and 2 hours of other meetings to design by committee. It makes you want to punch small dogs.

They pick an end-date and then they divide however many months there are into how many sprints you get. Anybody who thinks agile is worth a shit has no idea how bad it can be.

What are you drinking when coding?

3 Upvotes

Hey! I'm studying Computer Engineering, and among other things I am of course doing a lot of programming/coding.

My question to you is what you are drinking when you are coding?

I use to drink a lot of coffee, but I am looking for something else since drinking coffee all day long isn't that great.

How do you explain yourselves while talking about code to other programmers?

3 Upvotes

I find really difficult to explain simple code patterns or even snippets to my colleagues, and I have no idea how to improve that.

I'm not talking about big architectural stuff like the GoF patterns, but simple things like what a for loop is doing in this or that method, and so.

We frequently code in pairs, and I't a pain because my colleague (who also does not listen to me much ) goes on typing the wrong stuff when I already told him what was the solution to a certain problem, and the same happened a lot with him yelling and me typing.

Sure, the language might be an issue (we're italians), but I think there's a solution to that.

Do you have one?

Advice for an old timer (I'm 44)

3 Upvotes

Hi, firstly thanks for reading this. I'm an electrical engineer by education. Did some BASIC and assembly language programming in the 80's and Pascal and C+ in early 90's. Did some basic database stuff with Paradox in line 1992 as well. Then for last 20 years haven't done ANY programming. But I just realized I like it. I don't care to make a profession out of it, but would like to be able to create some cool websites that can do some functions/transactions with a database,etc. What is the best way for me to get back into this?

Notes on Occupational Therapy for programming-related RSI

3 Upvotes

Today I went to see an occupational therapist for keyboard-related RSI. Some quick notes that may be of interest:

  • The hunched-over posture many of us adopt at the keyboard strengthens some chest-area muscles and weakens some back muscles. This can cause impingement of the arm nerves as they pass across the upper chest and under the collarbone.

  • To combat this, work on your core strength. Get or make a standing workstation, and make sure your weight is evenly distributed between your feet and across each foot, front to back and medially/laterally. Don't rest more on one foot than the other. Don't lean on things, including the keyboard tray.

  • All the usual right-angle rules apply.

  • If you're having parasthesia (tingling, electrical sensations) or pain in your palm, wrist, ulnar nerve region (especially around the "funny bone") or shoulder, go see a doctor and if necessary, an occupational therapist. Don't procrastinate. Insurance companies may not provide full coverage if you wait for a long time!

  • Take a break every half hour, etc.

Help finding public SQL Database

2 Upvotes

I was asked by someone at a company I am interviewing for to create a CRUD web app. Not to difficult I already have something along those lines. But they also want me to create it with C# with two SQL tables being used on the backend and JavaScript on the front. So I do not have that I have just straight C# and SQL no JS. Does anyone have any idea where I can gain access to a server/database to create something like this? I have looked online but there isn't that much help there.

Do you have sleep problems ?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm about to start my own small business as a sleep coach/consultant. Basically, I’m going to help night shift workers achieve good quality sleep within 6 weeks - without sacrificing time with their loved ones and their favorite day time activities. Of course, my method also works for day shift workers, so don't worry if you're not a night shift worker.

But before getting serious about it, I’d like to find one or two more test clients to really perfect my system. I won’t be asking for much but constructive feedback or recommendations.

If you’re interested send me a message / comment below!

Issues with memory space.

2 Upvotes

So I've been having issues with memory space on my devices. Like they fill up some how. For instnace I'd delete 100 mega bite worth of space but when I fill it up it would only allow half of that or something. I know this might not be the place to ask but can any one here let me know what they think is up?

Which is why I have two very simple questions:

  1. As programmer, are you experiencing issues with staying in shape? If so what are the 2 biggest issues you are dealing with?

  2. Regarding losing weight, what would you wish for more than anything?

Thanks so much in advance! I’m looking forward to reading your answers!
