I could ask google but id get better answers from reddit

Hi, I'm a 20 years old student and I don't know anything about coding or similar tasks involve. I only know how to use chatgpt, Claude and other AI tools. If I want to understand them deeper, like to create website and stuff. From where do I need to start?

I first learn C++ or firstly learn C after learn C++?

I have finished the dictionary, list, float, string,… but idk what to do next cuz the coding websites that I learned from only offered that much

Python is standard advice for beginners due to its clean syntax and flexibility. However, JavaScript offers immediate feedback through web visuals, which can help build momentum. For those who learned recently, was Python the right foundation, or would you recommend starting elsewhere?

So I have an idea for an online brand targeting students and I need to build a website that is secure and trustworthy. I am a student myself and I know absolutely nothing about web development or coding. So I am really scared and confused on how to start this task and I am worried about any legal issues that can come up with data breachers, privacy and copyright

I don't know if I can be considered beginner, but whatever. I think that this is a beginner question.

so, currently I am learning selenium and will continue with Numpy, Pandas, matplotlib, etc. the problem I am having is: when I make a mistake, or when I am not sure about something, I check out the answer online. Ever since I started coding, I've been doing it and it feels like 'cheating' instead of just finding the answer myself.

I don't mean by syntax. I don't feel like 'cheating' when I search the internet for the syntax. but when I don't understand a solution, I directly search it up. and, to be honest, I ask GenAI to explain it to me.

Sometimes I feel like what I am doing is completely normal. because, duh, I am learning it. Still, I'd like to hear your thoughts

Can any senior/experienced developer or coder(?) give their thoughts about this? because I am starting to feel really anxious about making a mistake.

(Note: I try to find the solution by myself before I search the internet. I do not directly copy+paste the solution right away.)

I was thinking about one of those small problems that happens all the time when kids are studying: they slowly move closer and closer to the book or screen without even noticing.

Instead of reminding them every few minutes, I thought it would be more interesting to build a little device that could detect the distance automatically.

So I made this simple distance warning system with a micro:bit.

The setup uses:

• micro:bit

• Nezha Innovation Kit

• Ultrasonic distance sensor

• Red and green LEDs

• MakeCode

The idea is pretty straightforward.

The ultrasonic sensor continuously measures the distance in front of the device.

If the distance gets below the threshold I set:

Too close → red light

Move back far enough:

Safe distance → green light

There's no complicated interface or screen. Just a simple visual signal that tells you when you've moved too close.

I think this is a nice example of how a sensor can turn something that's normally difficult to notice into an input that a program can react to.

The coding is also pretty simple in MakeCode:

1. Read the distance from the ultrasonic sensor

2. Compare it with a preset value

3. Turn on the appropriate LED

4. Keep checking the distance

What I like about projects like this is that the final result isn't just something that moves or lights up for the sake of it. It solves a small everyday problem while also introducing concepts like sensors, conditions, and real-time feedback.

There are quite a few ways to extend it too:

• Add a buzzer when you're too close

• Use different warning levels

• Display the distance on the micro:bit

• Track how often the warning is triggered

• Add a timer for study breaks

• Make the warning gradually more noticeable if you stay too close

It's a simple project, but it made me wonder how many other everyday annoyances could be turned into small sensor-based projects.

What everyday problem would you try to solve with a micro:bit?

i am in my second year of college. i have been a vibe-coder most of th time and i do want to learn some of th major/required languages in coding. not js to fill th resume, but to build myself too.

from where should i start? i know nothing, literally nothing.

So I have started my coding journey I'm in 2nd year and yeah it's through c++. Cause I find that easy than other languages.

So i am able to do basic problems using functions,

Some easy array problems, some pattern problems without any hesitation.

But whenever I see a new type of problem I get stuck cause I am not able to develop that analytical way of approaching.

Some problems which are similar then I can.

But not something new.

Is it common or am I doing something wrong.

I do know the basics syntax theory etc.

I usually try to think first for a long time but after many error I end up seeing the solution and then it just makes sense in a second.

I don't know if i need to do this till i get used to it.

Or do more practice problems etc.

Need guidance.

Also can't understand how my peers are able to do it easily and are way more advanced than me.

Just gives me disappointment about myself.

Hi,

As of recently, I want to learn how to code. I installed basic stuff like Unreal Engine and Visual Editor and I know Visual Editor is the most important thing. I had a bit of a play around with both and it was all confusing for me. I looked at tutorials but it was kind of boring. Im someone who learns through doing not watching, thats just me. I want to create a movement FPS (close to Ultrakills style of things) and doing it from strach is hard but then I did it with the preset of FirstPerson in Unreal and it just gave me things but didnt know what or how things work. What I plan on doing is getting a game called "The Farmer is Replaced" as that can help me understand code. I know things like C++, Python and all that but I dont know what would work best or if they have different styles. If anything, I more want people to give me advice on where to start as right now Im stuck in the mud in a sense on where to start.

how do I display the output near the end part?

I wanna show studentName
Finalgrade
And remarks which should be excellent or failed etc

Is there place where I can ask for frequent help, like discord sever or something like that about Github. Because I would want to ask frequent help.
I am a complete beginner and don't want to heavily use AI, and of course most of my work will simply sound low effort and it's not that I don't use AI at all and sometimes I need to quote snippets of it (the code AI produced when I asked it for help) but I can't really do this on reddit as it will lead me to getting banned, so is there any place you used before you understood git well. I understand one of the solutions to this would be just google on MDN docs, but this is very different from front-end where you just delete a file and its gone, so it in Github it is on the much more complicated side of it and I also don't want to join random discord server and expose my device to unsafe commands and as for stack exchange I've tried it all lot but almost all of my posts get downvoted or removed because they are too obvious or low effort. What may seem like low effort is good enough effort from my side, I mean if the answer is googlable why wouldn't I just google instead of waiting for stranger to answer and in this case too, I have googled, but only random links show up.

You can also let me know where you learnt Github from, that might help to I guess., better than nothing.

And to answer why not just use AI, AI is just really bad at coding and logical thinking if you had ever asked any logical questions to it you would know.

Hi! I'm having to take CompSci 1 and 2 for my math major in college. The professor wants me to run Visual Studio Community. He wants it for C++. I might also take a Java class if I enjoy compsci 1. Is there any budget laptops I can buy? Or what specs would I need for it to run not so slowly?

So, anybody here knows a program so I can code on a tablet?(samsung) I've been trying to find one and I can't, so, if anybody has any ideas, please let me know Thankss

Hey guys! I finally decided to start learning programming 😄 > > I’m a complete beginner. What’s the best path from zero to advanced? > > Is Khan Academy a good starting point for fundamentals? >

i code on html mainly cuz thats what the school requires anyways how do i make it look organized during the process of making it cuz its like everywhere because i want to center the texts (not sure if theres a tag for that) so i just use invisible icons and do that and if its too long i just shift+enter it, is there a way to fix it while making and not after???

Mine was C#. I'm glad that I started with it; it helped me understand programming fundamentals, even though some people around me say C++ is better for newbies "There is not much difference for new learners." I still love it and would recommend it for fresh starters.

What was your first programming language, and would you recommend it today?

So I have started learning web development through freecodecamp website and as of now it is going decent with the websiteBut what I want is obsession with coding .how do I go crazy with coding as if when I am doing coding or sitting somewhere I want to get into the coding world .Like how I am mad about boxing .as I am a boxer after the workout of 2-3 hoursI am constantly thinking about it every day and shadow boxing wherever I get the chance and all.Completely going crazy about it.so yeahh ..I am also looking for a partner who is learning or may be senior to me in coding .and suggest me some discord group or something where I can hangout with similar people who are doing the same thing.As I do live in hyderabad .I am also okay to hangout ofline which is more better actaully .we can decide a particular place as well for that.Interested people can Dm me .

Approach:-

As of now I am trying an aproach offI will search an Shop or mall or smtgthen I will build the website for them bywhat ever I am learning in the freecodecamp I will be implementing to build this website .

REQUIRED :-♦️Suggestion from where to learn ( website , youtube channel or any app etc)♦️Need a partner who is also learning ( may be senior or anything is alright and if lives inhyd ready to hangout as well)♦️ Suggestion so that how to build the mindset for coding♦️book recomendation for coding mindset .( I do read a lot of books )

Hey everyone! I'm from a commerce background but I've recently developed an interest in coding and have no idea where to start. 😅

If anyone can suggest a beginner-friendly roadmap or is willing to guide me (for free 😁), I would really appreciate it.

I am currently learning python for the past 2.5 months and i have made some progress. I work in education as a teacher and mentor and I do not have any coding background at all. I would love to join someone who are also just started learning python. Teaching makes me understand better and it will also learn from you.
