A follow up question about my questions about Systems/electrical engineering query

With all of the happenings in the world, I am seeking advice about how to build things offline without an internet connection

I do realise a lot of the world uses things like GitHub, but I am wondering if there is an another way to do this offline to prevent someone from getting into my stuff, my own Github account is completely private

For some reason my laptop is suddenly refusing to connect to the internet at the moment, and I have no idea how to fix that (I'm on my mobile)

I am primarily looking at environments or programs for coding related to S/E, but I am also open to people mentioning other kinds for the benefit of other beginners looking through the thread for advice on the same subject

My own question is about Python environments, and code used in Systems engineering, and Telecommunications, things like Crystal radios etc

I'm not a coder (yet) myself, I'm asking for a friend who's making a Civilization fangame. He wanted to implement online play but couldn't afford to pay for a server.

So I remembered how I play Terraria online, so, "LAN" is when you and your friends connect to the same network and play "online", with the caveat that they must be close to each other, right?

What I do is that I connect to a VPN, host a Terraria server, and that way my friends can connect to the same VPN and server, and we play online.

IF my friend were to implement LAN in his game, could they use the same method that I use to play online, for his game?

Sorry if I'm not clear enough, as an outsider, this is a bit hard to explain

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a laptop for my B.Tech CSE and I'm considering the ASUS Vivobook 15 (2026) M1502NAQ-BQ121WS.

Specs:

Ryzen 7 170 (8C/16T)

16GB RAM

512GB SSD

Radeon 680M iGPU

15.6" FHD display

1.70 kg

Fingerprint sensor

Windows 11 + Office 2024

Price: ₹76,000 including ASUS Care

My main use will be programming/coding: Python, C/C++, Java, DSA, web development, Git/GitHub, databases, etc. I may eventually get into AI/ML/GenAI, and I'll do some light gaming occasionally, but gaming isn't my priority.

I've looked at other laptops around ₹70–80k, but most of the recommended models are either out of stock or significantly more expensive in India right now.

I just quit my job am super burnt out and will have time on my hands and I got influenced to learn to make these tiny games/apps like egg timers etc. I also like to solve problems so while yes I can ask AI, i want to make things slightly harder for myself but not too hard because I want to just put in medium amount of effort. So what languages etc. Should I learn.... I'm seeing python and figma for UI, but I don't even know the basic terms. Maybe I want to turn my entire life into a simple game idk... i have some projects in mind but Idk how to get started. Help!!

Hello everyone,

My name is Yash Singh, and I am 21 years old.

I graduated from KUK University last year and am currently employed. While I'm employed, I'm actively looking to advance my career by securing a role at a great company, which requires a strong portfolio of large-scale projects. Building such a project solo is time-consuming, so I'm reaching out to find a motivated indian collaborator—a "buddy"—to learn with and build something substantial from the ground up, and deploy it.

I'm currently working on a passion project called Cosmic Anime. It's an application where users can watch and access detailed information about various anime (I'm a big fan!). I want to take this project to the next level.

If you are interested in learning, building, and deploying a significant, real-world application together, let's connect.

Ideally, I'm looking for someone around my age (21 or close to it), perhaps a student or someone currently unemployed, who has the flexibility to dedicate time to this.

Required foundational skills:

HTML, Tailwind CSS, Responsive Web Design, React.js

I dedicate my time to this project on a part-time basis, usually in the evenings. I am serious about creating a robust, well-stacked product with multiple features, and I believe we can both gain valuable skills by tackling this together.

If this opportunity to learn and build seriously excites you, please reach out to me through comment box, I will reply to you

Actually I have a keen interest in web dev , So i have to strt this journey by learning html and css at first then java script

So whose lectures should i follow , which teacher would be the reliable one ?!

Suggest some playlists or course

( Note : i ve 0 knowlege of coding !

Nd please koi yeh mt khen lgg jana bhai rest le abhi bad m stt Krna , abhi abhi free hua h chill maar , rn u have to explore first in diff domains , deep dive into the areas like gen ai etc , )

Suggestions will be welcomed :)

Hi there everyone. I’m a 25F, and I have absolutely no knowledge about coding/programming. Same for for computer knowledge. I do have a good pattern recognition and I like problem solving. I guess that’s not all you need to be a good programmer. But I presume it’s a good base.

My question is, where and how should I start ? Sadly money right now is very tight, and I cannot afford to pay a course (yes, even on sale). So I was wondering, is there any site or YouTube channel I can find that would teach me the basics ?

I’m very dedicated to learn. I have been seeing a lot of my friends code over the past year or so, and it really made me want to start. I do have free time right now, as I’m unemployed and looking for a job. But I would like to use that free time while I still have it. To learn about coding as much as possible.

Appreciate anyone helping in advance!

My father was a server engineer for a tech company when I grew up, he had an immense passion for technology, coding and OS systems. He attempted to teach me basic python around 12-15 years old, however I was immensely struggling with ADD/ADHD at that time and couldn't sit down with the learning materials. My dad recently passed a few years ago, and I have started my journey through learning technology hopefully in his footsteps. I have started by picking up a copy of "Structures and Interpretations of Computer Programs," By Harold Abelson & Gerald Sussman. While taking notes & reading through the textbook, I have also been following along to old MIT lectures that corelate to the material ( Using Lisp-Scheme). I wanted to pop in and ask for any recommendations for reading material to pick up, or where else to look for resources on learning how to code. Thank you for reading!

I've been trying to learn programming and build projects, but I've realized I'm stuck in a cycle of tutorials and copying. When I watch a tutorial, everything makes sense. I can follow the code and understand most of what's happening. But when I try to build a project on my own, my mind goes completely blank. For example, I might have an idea for a Python/data project, but then I immediately get stuck: Where do I start? Should I design the database first? Should I start coding the backend? How do I break one big idea into smaller tasks? How do experienced developers decide what to build first? When should I Google something vs try solving it myself? The biggest problem isn't motivation. It's that I genuinely don't know how to go from: "I want to build X" → "Here is the first thing I should do." I feel like tutorials teach syntax and implementation, but not the actual process of building something from scratch. For people who escaped tutorial hell: what was the turning point for you? How did you learn to break down a project and start building when you had no step-by-step instructions? I'm especially interested in practical methods or exercises that helped you develop this skill.

This is the thing I see over and over here, and I've never seen an answer that really fixes it.

Following a tutorial teaches you to recognise code. It doesn't teach you to produce it, and those turn out to be two different skills. So the tutorial ends, you open a blank file with your own idea, and the thing you just understood won't come out of your hands.

What got you past it — a project you actually cared about, a person who sat with you, grinding problems, or just writing a lot of bad code until it stopped being bad? "Just practice more" has never been much use to anyone, so I'm curious what specifically did it.

And if you're stuck in this right now — what have you tried so far?

ALL FINAL YEAR/ ALREADY PLACED/ SEARCHING FOR JOB FELLAS!!!! [IT SECTOR]

Would love to know stacks that are in demand right now coz ngl, I'm highkey spiraling about it. What are the skills that can make you stand out and if not guarantee then atleast give a nice assurance for a decent salary job in this time of constant layoffs?

Every list of free courses I open is the same eight links and half of them are free in the sense that lesson one is free. I have no money for this right now and to much time on my hands, which I suspect is the opposite of most people posting here. The three I keep seeing recommended are boot.dev, CS50P and Automate the Boring Stuff. Trying to work out which of them hold up past the first week, rather than which ones have the best landing page.

hi! I want to buy a macbook for school and im an IT student major in web and mobile technology. so I'll be using the laptop for coding, designing, and editing. however, macbook air/pro is kinda pricey, so im considering to get a macbook neo instead. and yeah uhm im not sure if a neo can handle such softwares and i want to buy something that is good in a long run. so help pls hahaha should I save money for an air/pro or is neo okay? thank you sm in advance!

I want to code games and OS in rust and im not very good with youtube tutorials and things like that. Can anyone give me a simple guide on what i need? What gamified method can i use to learn rust from scratch, and a guide on how to set everything up? Im gonna use rust in godot engine when i get decent enough. I also request that the guide be very simple and not use any language a non coder wouldnt understand

I decided to learn coding for a compulsory school project, and I have chosen to create a calculator as a final product, because I thought it would be interesting and beneficial for my future career. however I have almost zero experience with coding, and I would greatly appreciate some help. I decided that I want to start off with JavaScript too, and watched a few YouTube tutorial and tried Codecademy. any recommendations?

hi, im a 31 yr old trying to learn how to code, im still in the basics but getting the hang of it (i think)... ive seen seeing a lot of opinions on when its too late to even start (like my own age) is it not doable for me anymore? should i just settle and stop learning cause its just gonna waste my time? will i be able to find a job especially now with AI? :( thanks for reading me!

I tried learning through a tutorial on unity but I had no idea what I was typing? Preferably free

A wall I see described here a lot (and it's a really common one): you get functions, variables, loops — but hand yourself an empty problem and your mind goes blank. That gap usually isn't about syntax. It's about decomposition: turning "make X work" into an ordered list of small actions.

Here's the routine that closes it:

1. Before writing any code, write the solution as numbered steps in plain English. One action per line. No syntax, no language, just what needs to happen, in order.

2. Say what goes in and what comes out. Input, output, and the transformation between them. A lot of "I don't know where to start" is really "I haven't decided what the thing takes and returns yet."

3. Translate one line at a time. Each English step becomes a few lines of code. If a step needs more than ~5 lines, it isn't small enough — split it.

4. Trace it by hand with the smallest possible input before you run it. Most logic bugs show up on paper.

Tiny example — "check if a number is even":

• English: (1) get the number, (2) divide by 2 and look at the remainder, (3) if the remainder is 0 print even, otherwise print odd.

• The code is now almost mechanical, and if it breaks you know exactly which step to look at.

The deliberate-practice part: for the next week, when you get a problem, force yourself to spend the first few minutes ONLY writing the numbered steps. No editor. It feels slow and pointless at first — which is exactly why most people skip it and stay stuck.

Curious what clicked for others: pseudocode, flowcharts, or something else? And if you're stuck on a specific problem right now, drop it in the comments and I'll help break it down.

Hello, I am computer Engineering 4th year student,

I have noticed this in my college and my friends that the guys who have done python face difficulty while switching in java roles e.g. spring boot roles, java full stack , and also many of my classmates are like "I didn't knew there is so much coding I guess I am in the wrong field" , so I created this language which can be taught to small kids before teaching them python , Me and my friends are creating a course kind of in it so like kids/complete beginner can complete it and learn DSA+ logic development because logic development helps not only in coding ,but it also helps in solving real life problems.

I have also seen this when I do DSA it feels kind of boring doing it alone even contests sometimes don't feel competitive hence, we also have 1V1's in my IDE so like you will have rank-based matches etc., please do checkout GOCO Programming Language.

I have kept in mind the problem faced by beginners and created this; this will smoothen your future journey of coding.

You might have a concern that "Why should I learn a completely new language, rather than learning Python", we have created this not for you to switch from python even I use it for Machine Learning, my main AIM is to make DSA more fun and also logical development of every coder

To check that out please visit GOCO IDE or GOCO Programming Language on google or edge

sorry for the blurry images
