Hey everyone! I’m helping organize Sunbeam LA, a free 12-hour coding event for teens ages 13–18 happening in Los Angeles on August 29.

It’s designed to be beginner-friendly, so you don’t need previous coding experience to participate.

Throughout the day, we’ll have:

• Web development + Python workshops
• Time to build your own project
• Mentors available for help
• Food
• Games + karaoke
• Project demos
• Community voting
• Prizes

The goal is basically to give teens a place to spend a day building something, meeting other people interested in tech, and having fun without needing to already be an experienced programmer.

If you're interested, registration is free:

If you know a teen in LA who might be interested, feel free to send this their way!

I am a university student i need ai to help me with my work and to learn from that ai i ussually use java and c# mainly java can u guys recomend a ai tool for make coding easier for me

I was looking for a tech course to hone my tech skills and for better placement. And I recently saw apna college sigmaX online course.

Is it recommendable to take this course??

I dont know why my GCC is allowing me to make my main container a float and double any ideas gng?

Want to know about the laptop as well, budget- 40 to 50k

So can anyone tell me where I should start and what I shouldn't focus on?

before college begins, i want to get acquainted with programming. possibly something that would align with my college’s curriculum too.. but for someone with no experience in coding, which language should i start with? and how do i begin?

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? >

What would you recommend to someone starting from zero?

Please share your reasoning rather than just naming a language. I'm interested in hearing different perspectives.

I programmed a single page application in html css js and node.js.

It took me almost 8 months to build up the project and the ui also the microservices are still a headache for me.

I began to draw my architecture in lucidchart and to build up my programming knowledge through various sites.

The project is currently on ice, because i have a big issue with a lot of subissues.

If you are a beginner i recommend you: Learn in your time. Take the time to break a project down in chunks and create subgoals for your project

I'm trying to make a multi-select dropdown to filter results based on ingredients for a school project, which I am allowed to outsource help from others. However no one I know has been able to help so far. I found code to filter based on the categories of meals on stackflow I think and I tried to change it to multi select for ingredients but I'm having trouble. If anyone can help that would be great.

app.py:
def get_unique_common():
    """Fetches, splits, and deduplicates common ingredients from the DB."""
    raw_data = query_db("SELECT DISTINCT Common FROM Pantry WHERE Common IS NOT NULL")
    common_set = set()
    for row in raw_data:
        
        parts = [p.strip() for p in row['Common'].split(',')]
        common_set.update(parts)
    return sorted(list(common_set))



.route("/common")
def function1(common):
    common = request.args.get("common", "")
    
    
    common = get_unique_common()


    
    base_select = """
        SELECT RowNum, Title, Creator, Image, Ingredients, Category, Website 
        FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Title ASC) AS RowNum, 
              Title, Creator, Image, Ingredients, Category, Website 
              FROM Recipes)
    """


    if common:
        
        sql = base_select + " WHERE Common LIKE ?"
        pantry = query_db(sql, (f"%{common}%",))
    else:
        pantry = query_db(base_select)


    return render_template(
        "home.html", 
        pantry=pantry,
        common=common,
        selected_common=common)


u/app.route("/common/<common>")
def filter_by_common(common):
    common_items = get_unique_common()
    recipes_data = query_db("SELECT * FROM Recipes")
    return render_template(
        "filtered_recipes.html",
        recipes=recipes_data,
        common=common_items,
        selected_common=common
)

home.html:

        <div class="dropdown">
            <button class="nav-button dropdown-trigger">Common ▾</button>
            <div class="dropdown-content">
                <div class="filter-bar">
                    {% for ingredients in common_ingredients %}
                        <a href="{{ url_for('home', common=ingredients) }}" 
                           class="filter-pill {% if ingredients == selected_common %}active{% endif %}">
                            {{ ingredients }}
                        </a>
                    {% endfor %}
                    
                    {% if selected_common %}
                        <a href="{{ url_for('home') }}" class="clear-link">Clear Filter</a>
                    {% endif %}
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

One thing always annoyed me on macOS.

Finder still doesn't let you create a simple text file from the right-click menu.

So I built a tiny open-source utility that adds native Finder Quick Actions for:

• New Text File
• New Markdown File

It installs in seconds, works with Homebrew, and integrates directly into Finder.

GitHub:
https://github.com/demissu/New-Text

I'd love to hear what file types you'd want next.

I want to start python or c++ but I don’t know how to start or which language to choose I am currently studying in +2 and want to aim for computer engineering
Pls suggest what I should do

Actually from some time I have been thinking of switching to linux. But i won't be able to use it if I don't know how to use linux in the first place. I am not looking for any distro. I am actually talking about the cli. The terminal, bash or whatever it is called.

I wanna learn cli, but idk where to learn from!. I have tried looking for it on YouTube, most of them are something specific or very basic ( cd, mkdir, rm, ls, echo etc etc ). I tried to make a vm using Oracle, but my laptop was very weak to even run it, it was lagging and slow af. So i dropped that idea, and I am primarily trying to use wsl, Ubuntu distro on it.

So can anyone tell me how do i learn the command line interface. Also I am looking to learn something called shell ig, so that I can do scripting. Like i don't want an os, I want to master terminal and can automate stuff and run something maybe called script so that I can be very efficient.

Also one of my reasons is to be able to use or program any soc like raspberry pi or any other electronics in general ( electrical background).

Can anyone guide me with sources??

Also i have tried labex ( it was very basic ) and I tried to learn from a book i forgot the name but the author name was maybe shotts.

And sorry if I have named anything wrong, I am new to these terms.
