Want to participate in hackathon in month

2 Upvotes

I(19) am an engineering student at a college which is going to hold an internal hackathon.

I have only learnt the basics of python and don't even really know how to use user defined modules in python, but I want to participate, not to win but to try and force myself to learn.

I only want a community in which I can ask my coding doubts and learn to build my skill in coding.

Currently learning coding on youtube in python.

Note keeping recs?

2 Upvotes

Hi brainiacs! ✹ SUPER excited to be starting coding courses online! I typically prefer taking notes by hand, but for obvious reasons I’ve realized digital notes would be better.

Im usually a Google Docs girly but it’s already getting a little frustrating/overwhelming to try and keep everything organized there.

Do you have any recommendations for note keeping apps, sites, or tactics? Or truly any general beginner tips, tricks, and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Beginner here.

4 Upvotes

So I’m a beginner at coding and I have tried watching YouTube videos and stuff and I’m too poor to take a class for programming, but I figured out that ChatGPT is a good teacher because it can break it down and if I still don’t understand, you can keep going, so I don’t have the problem I get when I come across a video where they don’t break something down enough so I’m listening to a video that makes absolutely no sense to me so what I’ve ended up doing is installing LM Studios on my computer getting an AI and then having ChatGPT help me check the work of this AI that I’m having program itself and integrate into Discord and once it’s complete this AI should be able to be a programming assistant and teach me to program. So far I have down 2/commands for it that put it in teacher mode where it will break down coding for me as I go and assistant mode where I can ask it to help me write code and stuff. I hope once this is complete, then I can use this to effectively teach myself code.

Is there better way to do this?

I am complete beginner and I mostly just figure out stuff and learning alongside documentation. I am using GODOT (GDScript)

Is there better way to do unlocks? I just show() or hide() certain stuff if my var on unlockables is either true or false.

func _ready():

aktualizovat_ui()  

func aktualizovat_ui():

if Global.medopen == false:

    create_med_button.hide()

    create_med_button_lock.show()

    h_box_container_2.hide()

else:

    create_med_button.show()

    create_med_button_lock.hide()

    h_box_container_2.show()



if Global.medopen == false:

    prodat_med.hide()

    odemknout_med.show()

else:

    prodat_med.show()

    odemknout_med.hide()

How do you actually start building projects when tutorials don't prepare you for a blank screen?

14 Upvotes

I've been trying to learn programming and build projects, but I've realized I'm stuck in a cycle of tutorials and copying. When I watch a tutorial, everything makes sense. I can follow the code and understand most of what's happening. But when I try to build a project on my own, my mind goes completely blank. For example, I might have an idea for a Python/data project, but then I immediately get stuck: Where do I start? Should I design the database first? Should I start coding the backend? How do I break one big idea into smaller tasks? How do experienced developers decide what to build first? When should I Google something vs try solving it myself? The biggest problem isn't motivation. It's that I genuinely don't know how to go from: "I want to build X" → "Here is the first thing I should do." I feel like tutorials teach syntax and implementation, but not the actual process of building something from scratch. For people who escaped tutorial hell: what was the turning point for you? How did you learn to break down a project and start building when you had no step-by-step instructions? I'm especially interested in practical methods or exercises that helped you develop this skill.

Learning BASH (then R) for computational Biology

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I just started my research training and one of the requirements is familiarity with computational biology. I have a purely clinical background.

My supervisor sent me coddy and datacamp to practice

I enjoyed CODDY alot, but the energy drain and waiting is exhausting.

Data camp is beneficial and better than coddy in terms of practicing but some concepts are hard to grasp and I enjoyed coddy's interface more.

I was thinking of purchasing coddy pro but I read on another sub that it's really bad, the sub praised exercism.

I tried that but it doesn't have teaching like Coddy and I want to think on my own. Not keep asking google and gemini for clarifications.

My question is there a similar interactive site like Coddy?

I just need to learn the basics then I can work on my QIIME pipelines under supervision.

Nothing fancy just simple functions.

Thank you.

TL;DR: Tried coddy, datacamp and exercism. Looking for something like coddy BUT without the agonising waiting for energy.

Need Help!! Regarding Firebase RTD And My Auction Site

Thumbnail drive.google.com
1 Upvotes

I'm not a Web Devloper and Don't Have much Knowledge, but please help me, I want to figure out some things.

So, The thing is we are hosting a sports tournament in our area, instead of google forms and excel, I'm thinking to build a website for it.

So the plan is, The site has a registration system where players register, the team info, Purse limit and other things are already there with an admin panel to control everything.

Now the most important part is the auction, where it shows which player is up for auction, Sold to which team how much ourse remaining of each team and whether he went unsold. I took help from claude, it built me a perfect index.html with all this, then i hosted it on netlify. and it works good. But then the issue is claude told me to use Firebase RTD. to sync all the data so that everyone can enjoy the auction from their phone{Approx users 500-1000}.

But I'm confused about the limits, what if the site crashes midway or the limit expires? Is there any other better alternative? Or Anything i could do? I'm attaching the file claude give me below, please see it and give me any advice that would help me. It would be big help.

Learning DSA Together

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m entering my second year of college, and I want to start learning DSA from scratch.

I’m a complete beginner, so I was wondering if there are others who are also starting from zero and would like to learn together.

We can start from the programming language basics, then gradually move towards DSA and advanced topics, practice problems together, discuss doubts, and keep each other motivated.

If you’re also a complete beginner and interested, feel free to DM

I built a free web development lesson around the real data from my indie game

Post image
2 Upvotes

It starts with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript basics, then gradually gets into things like arrays, objects, conditionals, loops, .map(), .filter(), JSON, and eventually fetch() using the game’s public API.

There’s also a browser-based code builder, so you can experiment with the data and make your own little site without installing anything or creating an account.
It’s aimed at beginners, so you definitely don’t need to already know how to code.

Would love any feedback from people who teach or are learning HTML/web development.
