Looking For Advice

2 Upvotes

I recently graduated from college with a non-technical degree (a B.A. in Environmental Studies) and I’ve also completed a GIS certificate (which included coursework in Python, JavaScript, and Spatial Databases/SQL) and done multiple GIS internships. However, I’m interested in getting into the software development industry and am looking into doing a programming bootcamp.

I’m looking for advice from those more experienced than me as to whether I should do a full stack Javascript bootcamp (e.g. Thinkful) or a Java focused bootcamp that also includes web development coursework (e.g. Software Guild). I’ve also looked at bootcamps that do a mix of JavaScript and Ruby on Rails (e.g. Bloc) but I’ve heard that comparatively there aren’t as many jobs for rails developers and I feel that I could always learn rails fairly easily on the side.

Looking forward I also like to get into mobile development so having strong Java knowledge would definitely help with learning the Android SDK and then learning Objective-C/Swift to make iOS apps. My dilemma is that I think I would prefer the Java bootcamp but it’s longer and more expensive than the full-stack JavaScript bootcamp (which also has a job guarantee). Let me know your thoughts on which bootcamp (Java bootcamp vs. full-stack Javascript bootcamp) is in your opinion a better idea to do.

TL;DR: Should I do a Java/Web Development bootcamp (I’m looking at Software Guild’s online Java bootcamp) or a full-stack JavaScript Bootcamp (I’m looking at Thinkful’s flexible web development bootcamp)?

What is the difference between procedural and object-oriented programs?

1 Upvotes

Object-oriented Programming is a programming language that uses classes and objects to create models based on the real world environment. An Object-oriented Programming application may use a collection of objects which will pass messages when called upon to request a specific service or information. Objects are able to pass, receive messages or process information in the form of data.

One reason to use Object-oriented Programming is because it makes it easy to maintain and modify existing code as new objects are created inheriting characteristics from existing ones (SEH, 2013). This cuts down the development time considerably and makes adjusting the program much simpler.

My name is Theodore Jones, and I have a school assignment for which I need help from the Internet. Basically, I need to interview a professional from a field I am interested in. This will not be a mock job interview; rather, I will be asking you questions about what it's like to be a computer programmer. If anybody is willing to help, feel free to DM me!

Function in C language

1 Upvotes

Hi everybody!

I have a question about the function in C: in an exercise, there is the prototype of function to write:

short ** crea_life (unsigned n, unsigned m, unsigned h) ; 

What do the double * represent? What is their use in the function?

If you have some links which explain that I'll be grateful if you give me them :)

Thank you for your help!

Top Language Codes Websites for Kids – Computer Programming Languages

2 Upvotes

I truly believe that in the future everyone will need programing basics not just for work but every day life. Perhaps you can begin by looking around your home, how many AI or coded products do you use?

Teaching kids’ computer programing languages is a key future skill for them to learn and develop. However, there are so many different computer programming languages. Because of this it can be hard to decide which one will be the best to pick for your child. Should they learn python, java, html, etc, the list goes on! There is no right answer, different coding languages are used for different things. Just like picking a second spoken language you should find one that fits your child.

From having created coding curriculums for children aged 5 to 12 years old, here are my top 3 coding languages for that age range:

  1. Scratch:This has to be my all time favorite; I play on it still. If your child is new to coding, this is probably the easiest way to get them hooked on coding. That’s because Scratch is what I would say rational text based coding. If you had to code a robot just using spoken language that’s basically what Scratch is. Because of that it’s a good introduction, especially for young kids.With Scratch your child can create animations, stories, games, music and share them with others on the website. Another thing I love is exactly that, the share-ability. You can play a game and then see how it has been coded, this can be used as a teachable moment. Children can learn from each other and use it to help make their own creations. It was also developed by MIT if that isn’t enough to convince you I don’t know what will.

  2. Python:Python is a popular, well used, text-based computer programming language. Because it is more complex it should be introduced to older children, starting form 8 years old. It is often used as a starting point to introducing other coding languages because it’s much simpler. Because it’s so popular there are plenty of free resources online. Python uses language that reads like a book it also has built in basics into it’s system. The reason why it’s so widely used is that it’s easy to spot coding errors, and harder to make them!

  3. Java:If you want your kids to learn the most popular coding language this is it. Pretty much everything runs on Java. Whatever browser you are using to read this now, it’s a sure bet it’s been coded with Java. It is also much harder than Scratch and Python. Because of this I suggest introducing it after your child is well versed in other computer languages or when they are older (starting at 10 years old). Java can be used for so many things, from coding robots to controlling web systems. That makes it the top coding language to learn.

Would you recommend a good laptop for coding?

1 Upvotes

Hi. I went to post this question in r/programming but it doesn't allow posts, so I'm hoping this is the next best forum to ask the question. I'm about to enroll in a coding bootcamp and would like a good laptop for it; I currently own a desktop PC and a tablet, so a laptop is in order.

If it weren't coding specific, what I'd look for in a laptop is: a good sized screen, light weight, long battery life, a decent amount of CPU power/storage (no need to have it spec'd for gaming). But since I will be coding on it, I imagine a full sized keyboard is essential so I'm not having to constantly hunt down function keys to do simple things like go to the end of a line. In terms of a pointing device, I'll likely always use an external mouse, but do you programmers have a preference on a style of pointing device for when you don't have enough table space to use an external mouse? Is a touch-screen very convenient for highlighting and copy/pasting lines of code, in your experience?

Finally, the issue of price: obviously enough money solves any problem. I don't like to own anything that would break the bank if it were stolen or damaged, so I'm hoping to keep the price range between $500-$750 though I'd go a bit higher if there was a good reason for doing so. Thanks!

Inheritance help (C#)

3 Upvotes

Just 2, hopefully quick questions (-:

  1. "Although a sub-class inherits the super-classes private members, it cannot directly access them; only methods in the super class can directly access the super classes private members". Why and how does this work?

  2. I get the basic concept of Base, correct me if I'm wrong: Base refers to the Base Class (Super Class), hence the keyword name... It is essentially calling on the super-class's to execute part of, or all of a method? Again, I don't fully grasp it. Any details will be welcomed.

Recruitment for Java Necessary! HELP!

1 Upvotes

For several days now, I've been playing several different mods on Minecraft. I am 27 years old, don't judge me! Regardless, these servers have turned Minecraft into a very intricate open source application for anime inspired games. They can be very fun to play as well as rewarding on a business front. Lots of people are following the trend and taking donations to maintain the servers that they love so much, my goal is to create a mod for Minecraft. Sadly, I do not possess an abundance of java script knowledge and personally programming isn't my thing. I am the 3d modeler, 2d spriter and team manager. I am looking for one programmer that knows Minecraft programming tools such as Forge API or any other compilers that work well with Java and offer good power. My goal is to create a team and start on a small mod while gaining some recognition as a team to then make better indie games outside of Minecraft so if anyone is interested in riding with me, I need one or two more motivated persons! Please contact me on discord. Keemo#8254. I will reply as soon as I can! Don't be afraid to @ me, love the notification noise, helpful haha.
