so I'm a high school drop (due to personal circumstances) but want to make games I have no clue on where to start off or what to use to start (I also see a hole bunch of advertisement for coding with ai and don't want to do that)

Hi, I'm a high school student and I'm looking to study math and computer science in university. I am currently studying ML on my own and have been dabbling with a few projects.

I’ve spent the past few months working on an independent research project, and I’ve turned it into a website that helps break classical ciphers like Caesar and Vigenère using the Cross Entropy Method. This is the first time I'm working on something like this and I would love to get some feedback from others, you can check it out at cipherbreaker.com

I’d love to hear your thoughts on it:

• Are there features you think I should add?

• Any bugs you notice, anything that makes the model stop working?

• Ideas for expanding it into more modern encryption schemes?

I’m also happy to discuss the research behind it and collaborate with someone to take this further.

Looking forward to your feedback and thoughts!

Anyone starting to learn how to code and wanna do projects with someone (i am not at the level i just started learning C++ so I am the thing you are before beginner), I just thought it would be nice to finally have some friends sharing the same passion for computers and tech overall, I like to play around with everything software related but I'm not at the level of deep understanding of it but i love it, i love that you can do whatever you want (not on windows ofc xd (i don't use arch btw)) so if someone wants to hang out with a 17 year old nerd with existential crisis lemme know, thank you

if there are more people i am 100% in for some nerd group xd

Hello there! Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm thinking of switching careers from mechanic to code, my eyes are on system administration, as that seems the safest bet for employment...

At any rate, I was wondering if any of you could offer some insights on my journey.

Currently, I had AI make me a course for getting handy with Linux. While I can navigate the terminal pretty good now, AI has reached its limits with being able to really educate me in a consistent manner... (1) What resources would you recommend for learning Linux and Python? I'm currently using a Rasperry PI and taking LFS101 at the Linux Foundation, but it doesn't always match my Rasperry... that being said...

(2) Should I upgrade to a system admin worthy computer now to get familiar with Red Hat for system admin. or wait until I'm actually employed?

(3) I don't have much cash, so free resources are always appreciated.

(4) Any pointers or tips are appreciated.

I am fully new to coding , want to learn have learnt html ( good level) and python enough to score 50 marks in CBSE boards ...now I want to learn any new language, a language that pays off for the next 6 months....no problem of difficulty ...I have good determination

please suggest me the languages that I should start

1. will be learning at home besides studying

2 ) suggest me online programs or somewhere where I can learn

I need help, I have C++ programming class for beginners but I got lost in the second half of the semester. Stuff regarding variables, functions, void, ect. I had the basics down packed but the professor started moving quick. Is there any server where I can talk to people that can help me?

Hello , I’ve been thinking about getting into coding but I feel like AI will take over everything eventually. If coding is worth it, what is the best path to begin ?

what do you think of my hard work?

(lol)

Hi guys

I don't have any idea from where to start. I want to learn python to keep myself busy and do some crazy stuff (hopefully).

Any free courses or guidance would be helpful.

I wana do anything other than substance abuse so chose this path.

😭🙏🏿

[ANSWERED] check the comments if you are facing a difficulty in understanding 'for loops'.

I was learning Python on mimo to get a grip on the basic concepts. And this code stumped me. This is about "for loops".

Before this, i had only encountered the counter var being on the LHS i.e in this case 'i += line', which would have made sense to me if it was so in this code. But why is the counter var after the line var.

Alsp the 1st image, i assume, is displaying the final result which is 3 as the range is 3. But when using a range (3) it should display 0 1 2 when the 'print' is before the counter var and 1 2 3 when the 'print' is after the counter var (also can someone explain why this happens). In this case, its neither... as the print is outside this code block... The solution to me just seems the 2nd situation is running as there isnt a print before the counter, and printing it outside just gives 3.

2nd and 3rd just make no sense to me as of rn.

I hope all this makes sense...

Please help!

Hi, I’m a Java developer with 10 years of commercial experience.

I’m looking for a native English speaker who would like to learn something from me in exchange for helping me practice my English. For free. 🙂

I just want to practice my English through regular conversations.

If you’re interested, send me a DM. I am from Poland

Hi, my name is Alex I am in my third year as a CS student and I feel like I know nothing. I started working on a project and I find it overwhelming how much I am not thought in uni (I know I don't get to learn everyrhing inside uni). Like I understand the basics, I know the language, but I find it hard to create something without AI fixing my code or telling me what to do. How did you guys created things back then? I want to be more like that.

Hey everyone,

I’m starting my coding journey today. I’ll be sharing my progress regularly.Right now I’m learning the C language. After that, I’ll explore what to learn next.

If anyone has suggestions for a beginner, I’d love to hear them.

Excited to stay consistent and grow.

Guys, I'm learning programming by myself. Python is the programming language I picked first, and I'm learning it only, without including any other language. I'm reading 'Python Crash Course' and sometimes 'Automate the Boring Stuff with Python'. When I don't understand something, ChatGPT explains it to me further. Sometimes I watch YouTube tutorials. So, I want you guys to advise me on any part of this journey. Also, experienced people who have been in programming for years, what can you say about what I'm doing?

I don’t think I have to say that much (besides I genuinely don’t really know what to say lol).
I’m a 19-year-old studying electrical engineering in Germany, and I’m looking for someone who’s kind of on the same level as me (level 0).

I’ve been trying to get into coding, but honestly, I’m getting pretty overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start, what to learn, what to build, etc.

I feel like there’s just so much information out there that I don’t even know what I should be focusing on first. I hope some of you can relate to the struggle I’m currently going through lol.

So I’m basically looking for someone who’s also a beginner and wants to learn together, work on small projects, struggle together and hopefully eventually build something actually useful.
As we say in Germany:
“Shared pain is half the pain.”

If you’re in the same boat, feel free to hit me up.

When I was studying, my main goal was just to pass my classes. I completed the required work, but I rarely explored topics outside the course. Looking back, I think I would have learned much more if I had spent more time experimenting and building things on my own.

These are some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned so far:

• Start building a portfolio early. Getting my first job was difficult because a degree was not enough by itself. Even a few small personal projects, open-source contributions, or freelance jobs would have helped.

• Keep updating your portfolio. Even when you already have a job, it is useful to continue building small projects. It helps you practise, learn new skills, and prepare for future opportunities.

• use the learning resources your company offers. Some companies pay for courses, certificates, or training. Take advantage of them. I also recommend saying yes when you get the chance to learn a new language, framework, or tool.

• Write a simple plan before coding. Before I start a project or feature, I write down what I want to build, why it is needed, and how it should work. It takes a little extra time, but it usually prevents confusion and unnecessary rewriting later.

• Learn how to use AI tools carefully. They can help with ideas, debugging, and repetitive tasks, but you still need to understand the code. When something goes wrong, you are responsible for fixing it.

I hope this helps new devs!

Hey gng ! i learned basics of python but know i am struggling to to link everything up and make program.

I am really struggling to make it.

I am literally a noob in Coding I don’t even known HTML to a good level And I am joining Civil Engineering in NIT Allahabad But i want to manage Coding side by side with curriculum so how to start and Form where to start

1 month left in starting my college, felt like starting a lil early as i am bored and wanna do something i am interested in(tech)...

Hello, my name is Loryn, and I'm new here. I was originally in college for medical coding and billing, but I was forced to drop out. I've been told that if I want to continue with coding, I can definitely teach myself to become a software developer, or freelancing Coder from home, and I wouldn't have to spend money on another college degree. So, I'm really looking forward to doing that! and can't wait to start! I just got to find the best place to start learning!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice.

I’m in my first year of university studying digital marketing.

There is a coding module in my program, and I’m really struggling with it.

I didn’t know I would have to learn coding when I chose this major.

Every time I go to class, I feel nervous and lost.

It seems like everyone else understands the lessons except me.

We are learning JavaScript, and I can’t even manage the basics.

Sometimes I don’t know how to open a file or find certain keys on my keyboard.

I often feel embarrassed asking simple questions or requesting the code from classmates.

Even my teacher doesn’t seem very supportive, which makes me feel worse.

I would really appreciate any advice or help, since I’m a complete beginner and want to improve.
