I have noticed over the past couple of months that moderators totally ignore posts sometimes on here. Anyone else notice that as well?

HyperSkill Dont tell us during solving project. that which design pattern will use in solving this project.

Ok, I know what your thinking...total clickbait! But let me explain...

I was always an A student growing up but as I got into high school, I slowly became consumed in getting girls to like me and being popular. Not sure if I accomplished either of those things but this distracted me year after year and my grades slowly dropped. I still managed to get into a fairly decent college for Electrical Engineering. Why EE...well because I grew up with a dad who was an electrician and as a young brown boy...well there's only 3 options haha.

My first year was tough! Was not motivated AT ALL, met a girl that ended up leaving me for a "friend" and got really sick one weekend and tried to make some salmon that ended up sticking up the whole floor of my residence...yea, you could say I was embarrassed. I ended up barely passing all my classes and went into my 2nd year on probation....met another girl which distracted me again and ended up not getting the grades I needed that semester and the school withdrew me from the program.

So here I am, an embarrassment to my family, a looser with no friends and more than anything a disappointment to myself. So I picked myself off the ground and did everything I could, talked to anyone I could and found out how to get back into the program. It was a tough year. To give perspective, just imagine standing outside the admissions office the night before course registration in the middle of winter just so you could be one of the first in line to register for courses you needed to take and ace to get back in(it was first come basis with limited spots and courses to take). We are talking from 10pm to 8 am the next morning.

I got back in after a year and funny enough, during that year I had also worked an internship at a small company that didn't know I got kicked out. When I got back I was a man on a mission! I did well and did a lot extra curriculars as well. Robotics where I coded in C and a Google Startup Competition. I found my love for entrepreneurship here after being one of the qualifying teams.

I am now in my last year of EE where I also added a minor in Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship. I have just come off a 1.5 year internship in Hydro/Telecom and won another international competition to create tech solutions for COVID….and well...I realized that I had a lot of ideas and they usually were all software ideas. So I decided I would learn to code to solve my problem.

I started with Java, why? Well Java is used in mobile dev, web dev and is a great beginner language to learn OOP. Also, the limited time free courses I found had also taught Data Struct and Algorithms in Java. Around that same time I also found Jetbrains Academy and I genuinely believe that it is exactly what was missing for self taught developers. The fact that you can do real projects and link it to your github is great! I knew that even though I came on during their promotion, I would 100% return as a paying customer because Jetbrains not only teaches you the concepts but helps to show you how it is actually applied! Also, mentors always told me to build projects but for a beginner, its tough to find what and where to start.

I know this is long but I'll end it here. Coding has never been so much fun and I owe it all to Jetbrains for showing me that. I am graduating this year and I have planned to change career paths and transition into software engineering because I realized that this is my passion. Moral of this story is that you never know where life will take you but you just have to remember to pick yourself up when you fall, work hard and learn from your mistakes. If you were lost like me, don't worry, eventually you will find your passion even if its 5 years, 2.5 years of internships and a whole Bachelors later!

Thanks for reading and goodluck to all my fellow Jetbrains friends on this journey! Cheers!

#JetbrainsAcademy #HourofCode

Hello readers and the Hyperskill team, I am glad that you are reading this article, because in fact here I will tell my story about my way in programming and how I met with the hyperskill platform. I have divided my story into introductory questions to make it easier to navigate the text. So let's go!

Questions:

1. What language did you choose to study first and why?

2. What inspired you to begin your studies, and what keeps you motivated to continue?

3. What JetBrains Academy project do you like best, and why?

4. How has learning to program helped you in your life outside of programming?

5. What advice do you have for people who want to start learning to program?

What language did you choose to study first and why?

The programming language is perhaps one of the most important points in the beginning. As for me, the best option for a beginner is Python, because it is easy to learn, and you can learn to make simple applications on it in order to improve your practical coding skills, as well as just master one of the most accessible languages ​​in the world. When I started (and this was 1.5 years ago), like everyone else, it was hard for me, at first you don't even understand such basic things as a loop, conditions, etc., but then after taking a stepik course in python (hello and thanks for a good course Timofey and Pavel :D) you begin to understand basic things not only in python but also in programming in general. After a course and a few practical exercises, I was thinking about how to develop further, and I don't remember how, but I definitely stumbled upon a hyperskill by chance. It was a time when there were not so many projects as now, and instead of the name “Challenging” projects there was “Nightmare” and for 800 gems you could buy code review, eh ... sorry, just nostalgia arose for that time, especially when you are just learning programming and you can't even imagine that you will be able to make a project of this level (spoiler: at the moment there are 3 projects of the Challenging level, so I am very happy with my progress ;) ). I went through topic after topic, did projects, and was just glad that there was and is such a platform, and to be honest, I was very much surprised that in the learning process you do not just read the topic, but you fix it with at least 3 tasks and then with a recent function repeat you can repeat the passed material. Also, a bonus for every day is the so-called “problem of the day”, which sometimes made you think about one problem for a couple of hours, or even days, well, in general, it was never boring!) I understand, my text looks like a semi-advertising platform, but in fact, I just want to show that there is such a platform that allows you to learn in a reasonable time the languages ​​and technologies that are in demand, which will then be useful not only for those who want to connect their lives with programming, but also just in everyday life - and you know, it's cool when the platform unites like-minded people and, for example, in the comments under the task you can ask a question, and you are not only moderators (thank you very much, Igor, I hope you’re reading this), but also people like you can help with solving your problems.

What inspired you to begin your studies, and what keeps you motivated to continue?

For the most part, I was inspired to create something from the beginning. I had never really thought about programming before, namely before going to college. But when I saw how others are doing something new and sometimes innovative, I also wanted to try and I began to study this area. I started from scratch, and after 1.5 y. I started writing my projects and I didn't just like it, I immediately realized that I wanted to do this in the future and began to study new technologies even more, as I already saw a clear goal. Now I am actively engaged in programming, for me, it has long gone beyond the scope of a hobby and I try to become as competent as possible in my field. And the only thing that encourages me to constantly get up in the morning and do what I love is to become as good and strong as possible in programming. Yes, it may sound trite, but this motivation has been driving me since the moment I decided to develop in a new craft. At the moment, I am studying Android and I want to become an Android developer, a considerable part of my path has already been passed, but I do not want to stop there, so in addition to the technologies already studied (Java, basics of Android, XML, etc.) I need to try and develop skills in the Kotlin language, which has already become the official android language, and I want to learn it thanks to your platform, where there are already 14 projects, where I want to start training my skills in this language and become as competent as possible.

What JetBrains Academy project do you like best, and why?

My favorite project is Flashcards, which was my first project from the Hard level. I still clearly remember how I worked on it for a long time, how I studied how arrays work(or rather lists), how to transfer data through methods to another place, and most importantly, how to correctly think about solving the problem, because at that moment I for the first time I did my difficult project and realized one simple, but a very necessary thing for me - everything is learned in practice. In fact, all the projects that I have done, and at the moment there are 26 of them, I did with maximum dedication and perseverance because I really wanted and now also want to become the best in my field, namely in programming. I do not know what will happen in 1 or 2 years, who I will be and what results I will achieve, but I know for sure that I will make every effort to achieve my goals, and therefore I am writing this story like an ordinary college student from Kazakhstan who wants to study in such a platform with many projects and tasks to go through.

How has learning to program helped you in your life outside of programming?

To be honest, no dramatic changes have happened, but there are a couple of points that I noticed while learning to program.

1. I started to focus more and do the important things first. No, I was not and am not lazy, but programming made me understand that the correct arrangement of my tasks is the key to success.

2. Broadened and broaden my horizons. Yes, it's obvious, but it's true. Programming develops in me the spirit of exploration that every programmer should have and that's cool!

3. Automation of routine tasks. I didn't really think this would happen, but it did. I began to think more and implement how to optimize my tasks in reality, not only with the help of the brain, but also thanks to technologies :D. For example, I will soon finish my pet-project, which works like a regular ToDoList, but with its own mini chips ;). And of course, my first app tester will be my mom!

What advice do you have for people who want to start learning to program?

To be honest, I do not have direct exact advice for beginners in programming, but there are a couple of recommendations that are based on a small but personal experience and can be useful not only for beginners but also for advanced ones. Here's what I think is important:

1. Never give up. It sounds corny, but believe me, these thoughts get in the way of all people, and not just programmers, so just focus on acquiring and improving your skills and try not to overexert yourself.

2. Be in the flow. By flow, I mean full concentration and focus on learning and myself as a specialist. I advise you to pump this state and try to stay in it as long as possible.

3. Don't be afraid to ask a question. And you know, I mean here not only to ask a question to a person who understands more than you in the area in which you are growing up, but just a banal development of the Google skill, because nowadays it is a very useful life hack for beginners, yes, most likely at first you will not only be unable to correctly formulate the question, as I for example, but also will not understand what these answers are and what is happening in general (:?), but over time you will reach the point that you can easily use this technique and become not just better, but more effective, though not always of course, but through constant practice and perseverance - you will achieve your goal.

4. Be curious. I think this is my last recommendation, but no less important, because without banal curiosity you will never be able to achieve your goals, and this applies not only to programming but, for example, studying at school/college/university, etc., so be curious, as children and try your best. I think you will succeed!

Wishes and gratitude

I want to express my deep gratitude to the entire hyperskill team for their work done, honestly, if it were not for your platform and your approach to training, then I do not know at what stage of development as a specialist would be. Thanks to you, in our time, not only me, but others can achieve their goals in the field of programming by studying here, so this not only gives more motivation to move on but also makes it clear that there is room to grow and in which direction you want to develop.

Thank you for reading to the end, and I would also like to wish all readers good luck and, most importantly, perseverance in achieving their goals, so all the best!

#JetBrainsAcademy #HourOfCode

Hi everyone, I just want to found a workaround to continue my student path. I opened the new project Tip Calculator and I wanted to do my daily challenge code problem, but I couldn't do it because it requires Android Studio. When I opened, installed edutool plugin, and try to open the "Solve in Ide" it didn't open the task. Did anyone found a workaround for this? Thanks community

EDIT: Got a workaround

Go to Project View - Select the folder with the new task/code challenge - Add a new folder called src -> Right Click and select "Source Root" -> Right-click again over the folder src and select New > Directory and select "main/kotlin"

With this, I was able to run and debug the task as well as Check the exercise in the task tab.

Hope to be helpful to someone else.

I've always been interested in learning how to program. While I am not a gamer, I always enjoy reading about the technology that goes into making complex video games. Additionally, I have a couple of WordPress websites that aren't tech related content-wise, but I often find myself tinkering with the theme's code (often breaking things by accident), so I thought it was high time that I actually learn how to code.

I didn't really know which language to start out with, but I've read that Python and Java are both popular choices. Before I discovered Hyperskill's online course, I started out by watching a few YouTube videos (Marcus Biel's Java YouTube Channel) and listening to Java Podcasts on Spotify. These were initially a great way for me become familiar with some of the terminology, but lacking in giving me an organized road map, or testing my comprehension of the material being discussed.

Once I delved into the Java coursework on Hyperskill (I still have a loooong way to go), I became instantly hooked. Each of the exercises feel like solving fun little puzzles. Oftentimes, they are challenging and I find myself stepping away from the problem in order to think about it for a while. When I come back with fresh eyes and solve the task, I feel an immense sense of satisfaction. What's even cooler -- is when you've successfully solved the problem, you are allowed to view how other students solved the same task. I really love this aspect of the course, as I often find myself reading over the different variations of code used to complete the assignment successfully. It's in this solution area that I find myself learning a lot of new ways to approach a problem. For me, this is probably one of the best features within the Hyperskill course.

Another excellent aspect of Hyperskill is that it allows me to learn and work at my own pace without the pressure of having to complete any assignment by a certain date. Since I'm not your average aged full-time student and have a full-time job, I can tackle the coursework when I am free from other obligations. However, I do find myself constantly daydreaming about when & how I can get back to my Java coursework. Thank you Hyperskill for putting this excellent on-line course together for all of us. I have no idea where this journey will take me, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the ride.

PS - I'm learning in Thailand!

Where is it? I paid for one service but got another one! I do not like this!

Hello.

My free-trial is over this day, just wanted to subscribe to keep my track, but its unavailable now as you know. Is there anything I can do?

I got email month ago, that all subscriptions should be continuted due this situation, but it did'nt.

Could you help me please?

Lmao so people were asking for full web version of hyperskill and they give this only 1 option task to solve daily problems and thats it????

Oh... wait...

I totally forgot.... it also recommends you to go on web-version which DOESNT PROPERLY WORKS ON MOBILE

Yeah but idea is good just bad implemented or maybe this is just beta thingie we dont know...

Hi 👋🏼 Where are the Git tutorials?

It's really annoying to have my code quality reduced from "incorrect" indentation.

This is my first real post on Reddit, so pardon me if I don't follow all the rules and posting conventions.

I have always had an interest in coding, but I did not make any real attempts at learning until about four years ago when I was faced with a particular challenge at work. My country Nigeria, was going through an economic recession at the time and our company, a family large format printing business was feeling it seriously, so, we needed to find ways to reduce our overhead costs, I came up with the idea of replacing all receipts we generate with heat printer receipts, typically we spend thousands of Naira producing batches of receipts to issue to customers and replacing those with much smaller and cost-effective heat printer receipts seemed a very good idea, the only problem was those machines do not come with any software to run them. So, for a few weeks after we bought it, we could not use it, so I thought to myself why can't I build software to run the machine (LOL), I really thought I could quickly grab all the knowledge I will need to build one and resolve that issue in a jiffy, boy was I wrong! Anyway, I realized quickly I could not learn any programming language within a short period of time to achieve my aim, so I fell back to an old trusted ally of mine, Microsoft Excel to run a rudimentary program for my heat receipt printer and it works, at least to an extent, but that was not what I want and so, I did a little research into available programming languages and which one will best serve my purpose, and I settled for Java because of versatility. The only problem was I have no time and no real lasting motivation to pursue that dream, after all, things picked up a bit later with the economy and we were back to work, and my "excel program" was doing its job until 2020 came in like a wrecking ball!

On March 21, 2020, my daughter Makayla was born, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic and a shut down of the economy a new motivation was given to me, I needed to pursue learning programming as a means of getting a better paying job to provide for my family and I realize that my abandoned project could be the launch that I need in the dev world and I was prepared to do all it takes to get there but the only problem was I couldn't find the right place to learn Java, I did start learning with an application called Sololearn and they are great but I understand that they only teach the basics in a snapshot sort of a way and yes, I got a lot of the basics down from following their program and I earned a certificate there but I could not write any meaningful code of my own so I went back to searching for a place to get in-depth knowledge of the language and I stumbled accros the #JetBrainsAcademy offering a free access to their website so I checked it out and loved it there, the lessons are a lot more detailed and the excersises forces me to understand the think deeply about the problem and I could honestly say that I was really learning and so I completed my first project there, the chatty bot project, it was great I learned a great deal from it but it also showed my how much I still did not know and how far away I am from achieving my goals but I am determined to get there, I am not giving up. I have now written a part of my own programming project, however rough it still is at the moment :( I know with the help of #JetBrainsAcademy it will get better. I am currently a 26% Java developer and 3/4 done with the Contacts project, this project has given me so much insight into Java and has shown me that I really can do this.
