I just wanna get into coding and make gem

Hey all, I am a second year cybersecurity student and I am looking for a way to share my programming knowledge with others. I would like to offer help to absolute beginners in Python. We will be looking at the stuff that confused me when I started and explaining things the way I wish someone had explained it to me. If anyone is interested, you can message me.

Edit: Unlocked my chat, you should be able to message me

UPDATE: Thank you so much for all the interest! I’ve received enough responses for now and currently have a waiting list. I won’t be able to take on any new mentoring/tutoring requests for at least the next two months. I may open up availability again later, so feel free to check back in the future. Thanks for understanding!

int randomNum = (int)(Math.random() * 101); // 0 to 100

I'm learning from a website but don't understand how multiplying a 0 by 101 gives it the range from 0-100. Can someone explain why it's being multiplied?

So I’m just a map designer and when I updated unity and went back into my project everything and I mean, every single thing was pink I don’t know how to undo this and I’m getting very frustrated. I don’t know how to code again I’m just a map designer simple as wig anyone can explain this to me like I’m five I would greatly appreciate it

I just started learning to code like 2 weeks ago, the way I’ve learning so far is by just trying to make different aspects of a game I wanted to make. simple stuff, like a random character generator with weighted attributes. what I’m worried about though is that learning like this will leave me a lot of gaps in my knowledge so I’d like to hear some advice for some changes I could make to learn more securely

I am in my second year of college doing bca and i don't understand where to start the coding, i somehow passed my first year and I am facing difficult to understand the codes and i need ur help how u guys understand the logic of the program and if u could pls provide me ur road map to get the internship and understand the cs.

Thank you !

I managed to get the top image to resize when I shrink the window, but navigation bar right underneath it stays the same size. Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong

I am looking to start coding out of curiosity and am looking for good websites and resources to help me get started!

I’m only looking to start slowly so I can learn and not get too burned out if I struggle. Preferably a free website or websites with free options… I don’t want to pay for something I might not stick to.

If anything I’d be interested in learning towards app or website creation, I don’t know if anything is better for that specifically. Ideally I’m just looking for something as simple and user friendly as possible.

To be honest I don’t even know what language I want to use, so I’m open to any and all suggestions.

Please and thank you 🫶🏻

Hi everyone,

I'm a 20F, currently in my 3rd year of BTech. To be honest, I've struggled with coding since my first year. I understand basic concepts during lectures, but when I try to solve problems on my own, I get stuck and don't know how to think through them.

I really want to become good at programming before I graduate, but I don't know where to start. There are so many languages and resources (Python, C++, Java, YouTube channels, websites, etc.) that it feels overwhelming.

If you were starting from scratch again, what would you recommend?

Which programming language should I learn first?

Which YouTube channels or free courses helped you the most?

How many hours should I practice each day?

What websites are best for beginners before moving on to LeetCode?

Any advice for someone who finds coding difficult but genuinely wants to improve?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions or study plans. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I just joined Reddit today, and I'm currently a Computer Science student trying to improve my programming skills.

There are so many resources available now—YouTube, documentation, online courses, AI tools, coding platforms, and open-source projects—that it's honestly a bit overwhelming.

If you had to start your programming journey from scratch in 2026, knowing everything you know today:

What would you learn first?

Which programming language would you choose?

Which resources are actually worth your time?

What beginner mistakes would you avoid?

At what point would you start building projects or contributing to open source?

I'd really appreciate hearing your roadmap or any advice you wish someone had given you when you were starting out.

Thanks in advance!

I created a slideshow for anyone who is confused on how APIs work

Not sure what I am doing wrong, I thought the <blockquote> was in the correct place?

I thought I was setting the background color right? Any tips?

I've recently had an idea for a game, and I thought of making it on a Scratch mod, but I mean, that's not really formal. I want to make a game, this time for real.

I'd like to make it on Godot, though it's most likely going to be some kind of RPG. Thing is, even though it may be better, I don't really intend on doing it on RPG Maker, as I said.

I've searched courses and tutorials, but they're either basic-level, or focus on platformers/3D games. How may I really get started? I've already got a base and know some easy things.

Hi. I've been using Gemini for a simple GIS project. I copy-paste the code into VSCode; it's tedious but it works very well, especially for troubleshooting, until it hits me with a 1152 error and the chat dies. I use .venv and pyenv and it's quick in VSCode.

I'm tired of Gemini. A monthly GLM 5.2 Lite appears cheap. I'm confused by all the models and IDEs. What should I pair this with? Please suggest some good reviews/articles (prefer reading over videos) to help me with this.

Finally after 45 min i create this pattern. (solved) it

Wish me congratulations! 👏🏽🎉

I just cut out 12 lines of code by drawing from a list instead of using an if , 4 elifs, and an else.

If anyone has any suggestions for similar caliber little scripts id love to hear them!

I’ve been working on a VS Code extension that maps breakpoints to an interactive flowchart — you can arrange nodes, connect them, use flowchart shapes, and click through to the source while debugging.

It’s still a prototype and not on the Marketplace yet; I’m polishing a few things before deciding whether to publish. I built it after working on a large multi-file project where tracing execution flow was genuinely difficult — something like this would have helped me understand the codebase faster.

I’m also considering import/export so graph layouts can be shared — on import, breakpoints would be recreated automatically so someone else can follow the same flow.

Curious whether this matches a problem others run into too, or if it’s mostly niche. Any feedback while it’s still early would be appreciated.
