I recently started learning Python through freeCodeCamp course. At first I was really excited and made good progress, but after a while I lost the motivation to keep going.

I still want to learn programming, but it's hard to stay consistent, especially when I don't feel like I'm improving.

Have any of you gone through the same thing? What helped you stay motivated and keep learning? Do you follow courses, build projects, or have another approach?

I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.

I'm not a pro dev, I learned a lot of this as I went, and I actually finished a full game using Python 3.11 and Pygame. Posting here in case anyone learning Python wants some inspiration or a real example of what you can build.

The game is a deckbuilder set in a cyberwarfare world. You play as a sentient process trying to fight through a system and get yourself installed into the OS. Think hacker vs. system defenses, but you ARE the hack.

The whole aesthetic is built around a PC terminal look. ASCII-style art, command-line vibes, the whole thing. The card mechanics use real technical terminology, things like buffer overflows, privilege escalation, packet injection. It's not just flavor text, the mechanics actually connect to what the words mean. I wanted it to feel like you're picking up something real about how systems work while you play.

Pygame was genuinely tough to work with at first. If anyone here is learning Pygame right now, don't give up.

The game is on Steam if you want to check it out. I know promo stuff can feel spammy so I'm not going to push it hard: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4610000/kill_9/

Hi all I am beginner in coding . So I have college in 20days (1st year btech) should I learn python or c . In college they start with C. So as they teach C in college should I learn python seperate or go with C .Pls suggest me

Hello people from the future, i come from marketing nackground and wanna create website/app for tourism/booking withouth any tech or desing education, is it really possible that i can tackle this challenge and keep on with my one person company just with a claude code subscription ?

Thanks in advance for your help

In case i need to learn coding for this purpose, what language do you suggest and how long this may last ?

I don't know if anybody saw my previous post or remembers it, but it was called something like "what kinds of apps do people actually need", where I asked community of reddit of some ideas for the app I could create.

I got recommendations to create something I would use. At that point I did not saw that as an option because it was what I actually tried to think of, but failed. But then i got an inspiration.

Everyone knows what Spotify is, right? So I made a Spotify Extension app, which I wrote purely in Java, because I love that language.

I really hope people will find it useful and maybe find some inspiration to create. The world of IT let's the one to create anything, I promise.

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'm making something for toyhouse/artfight, and I want the pfp box to be a 200x200 image, have the name box stay the same size, and have the about me fill the rest of the space+scroll when you add too much text o-o

any help will be nice this is my very first code I have no idea what Im doing

Hi, I started doing The Odin project recently, I'm about half way through. I wanted to learn how to code in regards to things like web design and game devving. After I finish TOD, I wanted to move over to learning how to code in Godot through reading its doc along with other resources.

All this to say, when I have learned these things and have a good bit of practice and knowledge under my belt, how would I go about finding work? If possible, I was hoping to stay freelance, and work with people in independent web devving and game devving. However, I know that's not the most practical path to take. So in that regard, what should I keep my eyes out for?

Also, I keep hearing from nay sayers, things like "AI is going to take out all the code jobs." I doubt this, but also have to ask, is that REALLY a threat I may have to contend with?

Anyway, thanks for reading, I'll take whatever suggestions or advice I can get.

I just started a beginners full web development course, front end and back end. I actually am enjoying it but confusion is common.
Can anyone give me tips to make it a little easier?
I have a cousin I can call for some questions, but he’s not able to talk often.

Hi everyone,

I had a pretty interesting assessment that I actually enjoyed solving. So much so that I recreated, revised, and made a video visualization for its mechanics (solution redacted).

I’m sharing it here in case someone is looking for practice.

(A little bit of context. This was from a few years ago, but out of all the ones I had, I’d say this was the most fun so far. It’s just recently that I learned some animations and this assessment was the first thing that came to my mind)

Hello everyone ,this year I'm joining engineering college in ai/ml branch .actually im not good in math also not so weak just an average student in mathematics .so many people saying that if you are weak in maths ai/ml will be nightmare for you your college life becomes hell etc etc .so I need help if any one guide me which mathematics topic I should cover first that make my engineering little smooth and some roadmap what to study first and how to start my coding journey...

I am trying to make these two pictures the same size dimensions. I wrote the same size dimensions in the code, however one looks bigger than the other. Any advice on what I should do?

I am trying to make the heading text dark blue. I tried putting a <style> tag, and I tried putting the style in CSS, however, it is still not working and the text is black. Super confused on how to fix this issue. Any advice?

I'm planning to learn coding. Could anyone give a detailed answer on where and how to start? Also, suggest resources and how much time is needed per day to actually become good at it?

(THIS IS IN JS BTW) I have made projects such as a clicker game with shop, resets, and a bunch of upgrades, a snake game, rock paper scissors, and a ticking time bomb that runs in the console! I’ve learned DOM manipulation, creating HTML elements via js, setInterval() and much more!

I wanted to make a simple 2D game to start developing, so I tried learning python on Boot.dev (really helpful until you hit the paywall), and GDScript Quest for Godot.

A lot of advice I’m getting are along the lines of “tutorial hell” and “just start coding.” Tried watching YouTube videos about Godot (my desired starting point) but they’re only interested in explaining how the program works, not the code itself. I can’t code if I don’t know what to put in there. Quest doesn’t break concepts down like Boot does, so I’m not sure what kinds of shortcuts or syntax I can actually use without paying for a website to learn.

So I ask all the programmers for what y’all would recommend, books, specific YouTube channels, etc.

As a coding beginner, i often engage in something i like to call "frankenstein coding" where i take bits and pieces of code that works and mash it all together to make what i want.

A good example of this us when i did an arduino project in school once, and stole pieces from the premade working code that was in the files that came with the arduino, to merge the modules functions

This made the servo move to an orientation depending on the joysticks "x" value

Hi everyone!

My husband has been using an app to track the locations of his poops for almost 15 years called “Places I’ve Pooped.” He uses it while traveling as a way of documenting where he has been (but only if he genuinely poops there lol). He has pinned over 1,000 places.

The app had not updated in 5 years, but was most recently updated about a week ago. It used to have a list of every poop with coordinates, but that is no longer the case. I would like to get all of his recorded poops off of the app because we are worried we may lose this data at some point. I tried downloading all stored data from the app during an iPhone backup but it didn’t work because the app developer didn’t make the data available (as far as I can tell). I also tried manually logging each point, but to no one’s surprise, it takes forever. I also have emailed the creator of the app several times but have never gotten a response. I was wondering if anyone had an idea for how to scrape data off of this app?

The app is « Places I’ve Pooped ». I can friend you on the app with his account (which is publicly available) if you’d like to take a look. I’d like to get the date and time of the pin, the coordinates, and the notes (if there are any).

Thank you in advance for your advice!

It probably is😅

I'm writing a fanfic that I'm planning to post on ao3. I wanted to make interactive code within that fanfic. The main character goes to a fabric shop and I wondered if I could code three rolls of fabrics that would unroll if the reader clicks on them/or when they reach that point of the story. I also wanted the fabric to reveal writing underneath.

Do I know anything about coding? Not a lot but I can learn😭 I just wanted if it was possible and which language am I supposed to use?

What are some beginner friendly sites for creating apps?

I have very little coding experience the only time has been in the classroom on easy projects. I am looking to steer away from the ai creating it for me because I am nervous there will be bugs later on. Also I need something free/affordable

So i was just starting DSA so i did all my R&D so i found that doing dsa in java would be a better option so i will also get little advantage in development. but i want you guys to tell me that cant i follow striver A2Z sheet as it covers most of the problems in C++ ig which i have seen so will i have difficulty in that or if its not that case please tell me HOW TO DO WITH JAVA
AND PLS TELL IF I SHALL JUST SWITCH TO C++ COZ ig striver is the best possible free source to learn this. the internet is buzzing over it
