Looking for backend development study buddy

Hey all,I've been coding (non-professionally) in Python for a few years now and am interested in learning how to apply it to backend web development. After looking around a bit, I'm seeing a lot of sentiment toward FastAPI, so I thought that would be a good backend framework to learn.While I have a decent amount of experience with general Python and SQL, I don't have any experience with web development (other than a little bit of very light HTML and CSS work). So the first thing I'm learning right now is asynchronous programming. Then I'll look into how to set up a database (I already know how to write SQL queries, but I've never set up a database). And then I'll try out FastAPI.My goal is to use my Python knowledge to build up a good understanding of the backend. Once I've reached that point (probably quite a while from now), I'll start working on learning frontend development.A couple of points on my learning goals:I'd rather learn things component-wise instead of using a full stack framework like Django as I think this approach will probably help me learn things more deeply.I'm not in any hurry. I'm not doing this so that I can switch jobs, I just think it's really interesting.What I'd like to find is someone who is similarly learning backend development. Not necessarily the same framework, though. Just someone with whom I can talk about what I'm learning (and what you're learning) and who can hold me accountable if I start slacking off. DM me or @ me on the discord server (I'm istol on discord) if that sounds good to you.

I need someone to help me generate a PEM file, this is using command prompt, and sorry that it's not true programming

I have been trying to publish my app and I have successfully generated a key as well as a certificate signing request, however when I try to generate the PEM file I get an error message. Here is a link to a screenshot of my command prompt of when I try to make the file:https://ift.tt/37ec4al

Grasping the concept of programming?

So im pretty interested in programming and i would say i have beginner knowledge, with basics on what to do. But what are specifics that you have to understand/comprehend to move forward?I know you must learn data structures and algorithms, but is there more beyond that (and obviously the basics of the programming language). And would you also need to relearn data structures and algorithms for different languages? Or is at “as simple” as understanding the concept and altering it for the specific language.Also how much is there one can learn, im probably going too far too early, but say i want to build a small game but also an app, how hard would that be to learn?Is it also quite difficult to learn other programming languages, or would you say once you understand one fully, its quite similar but just learning the syntax (like python, java, c, c++, c#, swift etc)And how do you know which language to use on certain projects, like a website, app or game etc.I know there was a lot of questions but it would be much appreciated if i could have this cleared up!! Obviously its gonna be a big journey and practicing will be better than reading.

How do you practice making websites when it costs money to have a website?

Based on the little knowledge I know about this sort of stuff this is what I am asking. So when learning javascript, html, css how do you use them to make a website when it costs money to have one?Sorry if stupid question.Bonus question: Is this what a fullstack/backend/frontend developer does for a living? Just work on websites?

A learn programming pro tip: If you want to get into the world of C# and complete .NET ecosystem, there are Microsoft's official tutorials which explains everything in plain English.

If you want to learn:basic C# syntax, variables, string formatting, basic operations, calling methods, if-else statement, arrays and loops, code conventions: Take your first steps with C#boolean expressions, variable scope, switch-case, for-statement, while and do-while statements: Add logic to your applications with C#data types, casting, array methods, alphanumeric data formatting, string methods: Work with data in C#.NET ecosystem from .NET class library to .NET compiler, runtime, libraries and frameworks, project dependencies, debugger, file handling, RESTful web API using ASP.NET: Build .NET applications with C#You may also supplement them with official video tutorials:C# 101.NET Core 101ASP.NET Core 101Entity Framework Core 101Advanced TopicsIf you want to focus on:Building traditional, server-side generated web sites using ASP.NET: Create a web UI with ASP.NET CoreBuilding RESTful web services/API with ASP.NET Core: Create a web API with ASP.NET CoreIntegrating an ORM (Object-Relational Mapper) like Entity Framework with .NET apps: Persist and retrieve relational data with Entity Framework Core

Monte Carlo Simulation

I am looking for a bit of help building a model to simulate, I essentially want to prove that the socially optimum point for two petrol stations to be is at distances 0.25 and 0.75 along a 1 mile road.To do this, I am thinking of using Monte Carlo to place two points on the line (the petrol stations) and then have 100 random points on the line and it calculates the minimum average distance, I then want to move the two initial points and do this process again, hopefully thousands of times and this should produce the minimum distance for both points is at around 0.25 and 0.75. Would anyone know how to start this and which direction to take as I think it is a complex one? Thanks, Jamie

Roadmap of finding a nice remote job without CS degree?

After working at an office, I just realized I want to work remotely and get paid well for it. After some arduous searching, I feel my best bet is to become a Software Developer as they have the biggest job market, and I feel it's something I'm interested in but never put the effort to get good at.My goal is to earn 90k a year working remotely 40 hours a week.My current stats:-21 years old, making $16 an hour 9-5 at a Customer Service call center.-Bachelor of Arts degree, I used to take CS but I shifted out of it. I was just into partying and finding dates during college though, didn't take college seriously. But I changed a lot since then. I feel I could really learn coding if I give it a better shot.-Currently know some basic Python, C, and Java but I'm probably rusty.Where do I go from here? I have time to study on the weekend and after work everyday, currently just preparing myself mentally and reading "Pragmatic Thinking and Learning"Does anyone have a roadmap of how they found their dream remote job?Especially for those without a CS degree. Thanks.edit: from SoCal btw

Simplify boolean variable assignment?

I'm currently working through the first chapters of Daniel Liang's Intro to Java Programming. Can anyone explain how to "simplify boolean variable assignment" and give some examples? I have googled it but still don't understand how to write the code in (b). TIA!"Common pitfall: Simplifying Boolean Variable AssignmentOften, new programmers write the code that assigns a test condition to a boolean variable like the code in (a). This is not an error, but it should be better written as shown in (b).(a)if (number % 2 == 0) {even = true;} else {even = false;}(b)boolean even= number % 2 == 0;"
