1.3k Upvotes

Hi all, my boyfriend is a Senior Software Engineer... I just found out that we are expecting, and I'd love to break the news to him with a block of code! Trouble is, I don't code... Would you all help me write a small block of code to let him know he's going to be a daddy? TIA!

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.

I was helping my grandma sort through her stuff and we found something that was from her dad. I am not a programmer in any way but to my untrained eyes this looks at least code adjacent. so does anyone actually know what it is?

Blog Day 2 learning to code

Post image
154 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m on day 2 of learning how to code (starting from absolutely zero knowledge — not even “hello world”). Today I battled JavaScript variables… and let’s just say the variables won. 😅

But here’s my tiny victory: I managed to squeeze in a review session while sitting on the beach. The concepts are slowly starting to make sense — and honestly, I’m just happy I showed up today.

Not much to show yet, but here’s my first tiny project: a button that counts clicks. Still figuring out how to make it actually update the text — but hey, it’s progress.

Any tips for internalizing JS basics without frying my brain? 😵‍💫 Appreciate any encouragement or begginer-friendly resources 🙏

Blog Oddity on netflix

Post image
63 Upvotes

On Netflix where I found this code which I've circled in red. I'm currently learning c++ as my first language so I can't even id what language this is nor what it means. What doe sany one know? This was under the Apollo 13 movie, where you click the "more like this" button. Does it mean it has labeled 1917 "most liked" or is it adding weight to the movie 1917 for the algorithm?

I do not belong to this subreddit, so if I have erred let me know where I should I go. Thinking about the primeagen aubreddit too. Heard he worked at Netflix.

Guide For gods sake, no this is not the subreddit to post codes you want decoded. This is for programming

JavaScript is allowed. Hex is not.

C# is allowed, Binary is not.

And in the name of all that is holy, Python is allowed, and Hash isn’t!

You’re looking for r/codes if you want something deciphered

Github: https://github.com/JohnMega/3DConsoleGame/tree/master

The engine itself consists of a map editor (wc) and the game itself, which can run these maps.

There is also multiplayer. That is, you can test the maps with your friends.

Help Please What is this?

Post image
57 Upvotes

What is this? Other than code.. I was on my computer and decided to clean up my desktop. When I opened a folder I haven’t touched in a while (it was a folder I used to save info when I was attempting to grow pot) this was in it. With a ton of other things. Some things that were no longer accessible. A bunch of pictures of random people. This might be dumb, but does this indicate that my computer (Mac, if that matters) has a virus or I’ve been hacked? Would I be okay to delete it and forget about it? I don’t know anything about code. It was SUPER long btw.
