I'd love to eventually learn Python

¿Cómo aprender Inglés fácil?

 

Anyone willing to share algo for estimated download time remaining?

Mine's fluctuating a lot. Basically I just average the first 10 speeds or so and with every new speed i replace the oldest one.

I update my download time remaining message every few seconds. But that doesn't do it tbh. It goes from a minute to 10 then add or subtract 1 from then.

 

definitely looks like a red flag to me.

six months of contracting could be good experience. but I certainly wouldn't expect to actually get a full time hire unless you get some sort of commitment in legal writing.

 

Yeah my thoughts as well. Going to go through with the interview for experience, and if I get the contracting offer say I'm only interested in full salary and benefits.

 

All I can say is go for it. I worked on a Python project for a year and really enjoyed using it. Coming from a Java background I found Python relatively easy to learn and it's a cleaner language than Java. You can do a lot in very few lines of code.

Being assigned back to a Java project afterwards made me realise what a nice language Python is. Java seems clunky in comparison.

 

I can totally relate. I had a project I did in Java on my github, and a did it again in Python since a lot of jobs I am applying for want python. It's way shorter, and was way easier to write.

 

My department uses a combination of Excel Macros, VBS, and Python for reporting and automation. Currently we have a lot of reports that automatically send out emails through Outlook. We just received notice that the entire company will be switching to Office365 in the next month, does anyone know what kind of impact this may have on those scripts? Will we still be able to create Outlook objects and send emails? I know Office365 is cloud based so will it even be possible to use our Outlook application or will it be strictly web-access?

Being able to create an Outlook object has been incredibly easy to work with so we have quite a few reports with this functionality, so I'm dreading potentially having to convert all of those if it came to that.

Admittedly, I know how to code decently well (in my opinion), but I wouldn't call myself a developer by any means, so I apologize if there's any wrong terminology or anything like that.

From what I can tell, Office 365 supports macros via the desktop client, but workbooks opened in a browser window can't run macros.

 

I like Python, but manually pressing the space bar instead of indenting has caused me issues lol.

 

If you use an IDE like PyCharm this does it for you.

 

Messing around with React Native and Firebase at the moment.

Pretty fun.

 

Mimo: Learn how to code through interactive tutorials and quizzes! on the App Store

Anyone ever use this app or something like this to learn coding?

 

Installed but haven't opened it. I recommend Human Resource Machine though haha.

 

Had my first coding related interview today. Stress city.

 

Hope you get good news back! They are stressful, but it gets better once you have a few under your belt.

 

Yeah it wasn't too bad. It's an interdisciplinary position covering biology, chemistry and programming. I had to give a 30 minute presentation showcasing a lot of different things including my code, critiquing it etc, way intimidating since one of my interviewers is apparently a big deal working on Julia.

Couple questions on recursion, data structures, and some random riddle/brain teaser things.

Definitely feel more confident for the next ones if they come though.

 

first coding class in 2 years and first time using C++ in 3 and damn, I can never fully understand OOP and completely forget C++ syntax

 

Getting two weeks off from my actual work and getting paid to take a two week Java course at another one of our offices. I'm pumped. Excited to brush up on some skills I haven't used in awhile, and to learn some new things. Should be interesting having 5 8-hour classes in a week, versus 2 1-hour classes.

I want to brush up on recursion. It's been so long since I've done anything with it that I forget pretty much everything, but I remember people being shocked that I liked it more than iterations and found it easier.

 

Embarking on a project with a group of friends. We're going to develop an app for the Hololens. It's going to be a "store" of some kind (similar to amazon, ebay, etc. selling what we dont know yet) but the idea of it being a 3D Holographic store is crazy.

Super pumped.

 

GL man. Sounds cool. P

 

Had to debug a problem based on a user-end screenshot of a program in an interview today. Not what I was expecting but a lot of fun to work through either way.

 

need some homework help with C++ linked lists if someone wants to help me out in PM

 

Simple Linked List c++

 

thanks, but it didn't really help me because I have to use a predefined/given node class, but I think I figured it out/was missing a major part of the logic (and it just came to me what I think it is)

So is this logic of linked lists correct?:

the first object in the linked list is null
everything else gets added as the next object AFTER null?

 

I'm taking an HTML and CSS class right now and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I'm in my senior year though and taking more classes like this won't do anything toward my degree. My dad is trying to convince me to do a 12 week intensive course once I graduate if I'm really into it. Anyway, does anyone have any experience with taking one of these to get to where they're at and what did you think of it?
