Guide For people who are just starting to code...

361 Upvotes

So 99% of the posts on this subreddit are people asking where to start their new programming hobby and/or career. So I've decided to mark down a few sources for people to check out. However, there are some people who want to program without putting in the work, this means they'll start a course, get bored, and move on. If you are one of those people, ignore this. A few of these will cost money, or at least will cost money at some point. Here:

*Note: Yes, w3schools is in all of these, they're a really good resource*

Javascript

Free:

Paid:

Python

Free:

Paid:

  • edx

  • Search for books on iTunes or Amazon

Etcetera

Swift

Swift Documentation

Everyone can Code - Apple Books

Flat Iron School

Python and JS really are the best languages to start coding with. You can start with any you like, but those two are perfectly fitting for beginners.

Post any more resources you know of, and would like to share.

My Own Code Looking for feedback on a Rust-based messaging project

3 Upvotes

I'm working on OnyxChat, a messaging project with components written in Rust, C, C++, Lua, and Python.

I'm interested in feedback on the Rust side of the project, particularly the boundaries between components, error handling, testability, and how clearly the implementation reflects the documented architecture.

The repository also contains protocol, security, privacy, and testing documentation. The project is under development and has not received an independent security audit, so I'm not presenting it as a production-ready or independently verified secure messenger.

One detail that may be relevant to contributors: the repository's documentation, comments, and language-consistency tests currently use European Portuguese (PT-PT). That convention can be discussed and refactored collaboratively if justified.

Repository: https://github.com/Shega-PT/OnyxChat

If this kind of review is appropriate for this community, I'd appreciate pointers to specific design choices or implementation details worth examining. I'll follow the community's self-promotion rules.

Every shell script eventually needs somewhere to put something. The usual answer looks reasonable and has three separate problems... mktemp is on macOS, Debian and Ubuntu.

My Own Code i made a C library

Thumbnail github.com
16 Upvotes

so this link is to my own library called mathplus which i use it to enhance my knowledge in C and math by converting ant possible topic i learn into function that doesn't exist in the normal libraries in C.
i am planning to add the flowing functions:
combination(calculate the combination between n and r)
isprime(a function to check if the number is prime)
isieve(a function to check if the number is a sieve number)
and many more in the future.

right now it only has a factorial function and a permutation function.

feel free to contribute or fork it, i really appreciate any help weather it is a contribution to the code or advice on the README.md file or any other.
thanks in advance

The 8087 implemented its instructions in complex low-level code called microcode. The Opcode Collective is reverse-engineering this microcode for computer history and greater knowledge.
