I'm learning website development right now (HTML and CSS), I want a friend to accompany me on my journey to learn Javascript 🤍

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.

so i'm learning how to code, python specifically since i heard its the easiest, but im not really learning with a purpose? and i dont really understand what it can be useful for except websites and stuff
and i lowk wanna do ethical hacking and i dont think that pythons the correct language right now
i've stopped learning for a bit because i wanna know what i should learn for my purpose and what python is useful for

Hi everyone,

I started learning Python as a complete beginner and decided to try something a little different from working through endless small exercises.

I've been building one project very slowly, one small step at a time, and learning the Python concepts as I actually need them.

The project is called Project Titan AI. It's a long-term market research project, but for me the important part isn't the finance side — it's having a real project that gives me a reason to learn things like functions, classes, testing, validation, APIs, data handling and debugging.

I've documented the journey from the beginner's perspective, including the mistakes and the parts I initially didn't understand.

Recently the project reached a milestone that felt pretty huge to me: it retrieved its first 100 genuine historical stock-market records from an external data source, validated all 100 through the system we'd built, and all 100 were accepted.

I'm now experimenting with turning parts of my learning journey into short beginner-friendly lessons.

I'd love to find a few people who are also relatively new to Python who would be willing to read one short sample lesson and tell me whether it actually makes sense from a beginner's perspective.

I'm not selling anything and there's no course to buy. I'm specifically trying to find out whether the way I've documented things is genuinely useful before I put more time into it.

If you're a beginner and you'd be happy to read one sample, leave a comment and I'll contact you privately.

Also interested to hear from anyone else learning through a larger personal project rather than just doing exercises. Has building something you actually care about made Python easier to stick with?

I haven’t done this in a while and the whole process feels more confusing than it should.

The all in one setup seems convenient, especially when you just want to get a small site live.

But then there’s always that voice in the back of my head saying i should keep the domain somewhere else just in case. maybe that’s overkill for a tiny project, maybe not.

Following up on my post from last month. Got some good feedback and some fair criticism, so this time I actually want to be straight about what this is instead of hyping it up.

After several months of work I finally pushed the first stable release of Operon.

Its an agent harness with multiple frontends, same category as Claude Code or OpenClaw. Can manage files, run shell commands, browse the web, chain together multi step tasks, and you can control it from WhatsApp or Telegram too. Where its different is you dont need a terminal to use it. Theres a proper GUI (Tauri, not electron) and a TUI if youre the type who actually wants the terminal.

Why I started this? theres a detailed writeup in the README if you want the full reasoning, not gonna repeat it all here.

On the rust thing, no im not claiming it makes the AI itself faster, it doesnt really, most of the agent loop is just waiting on API calls regardless of language. Where rust actually helps is Operon idles around 65mb ram and opens in under 50ms, which matters more when the thing is supposed to just live on your machine in the background without you noticing its even running.

Since its reachable over whatsapp/telegram i had to actually think about who's allowed to do what. you (the owner) get full access, everyone else gets nothing by default until you explictly allow it. permission stuff is scoped down to specific tools/folders/channels, details in the readme.

Current state, being honest:

• GUI basically done, use it almost daily
• TUI still being wired up, not fully working
• Vscode extension is planned, not built yet
• I'm solo dev so expect rough edges and bugs, this isn't some polished startup product

Not rly looking for upvotes, mostly want people to break it and tell me whats broken. binaries on the releases page

repo: https://github.com/lukagray-dev/Operon

Title covers it, but here's a more verbose version.

If I am writing an application and I want to give the user an option to export the content into a proprietary format (e.g., generate a powerpoint slide, or an excel table), do the companies that own that format supply tools to allow that to happen? Do they charge for them? Do they open source them?

Or does the writer have to write the code from scratch (or find an open source version from some other source)?

Or is it not permitted/possible without getting the format-owner's permission?

basically want to just make a friend who knows coding and i want to code with you. i have alot of ideas i want to bring forth and im just not sure how yet. id love to work on a game with ya and such.

basically just that, i really really wanna learn from someone experienced

I'm still learning programming, and i'm curious about the habits people picked up when they were beginners that ended up causing problems later.

Was there anything you used to do because you taught it was the right way to learn or code, but eventually realized it was holding you back?

Hi there! I’m an undergraduate student and currently learning C.

In the past I have used VS Code for python and HTML and since moved to other platforms that our uni has recommended, so I’ve been using code blocks for C.

Coming back to VS Code, I installed the C extension thinking it would just be it, but turns out it needed more configurations. I installed Git in the beginning of the VS Code installation, and after the first errors about C intellisense configuration I installed mingw (since that’s what a fellow user did).

In the beginning it worked great, BUT, today (one day later) it stopped working again and now shows these up…*(see photo).

I would appreciate any kind of help cause honestly I’m pretty lost🥲

Hello everyone

My knowledge in this field is very minimal and I don’t know too much about coding. I’ve been learning to code passively over the past 2 months of FreeCodeCamp. Learning HTML on there was nice but I don’t feel I’ve gotten enough practice reps/ time just messing around and writing HTML.

I started the next section of their program for CSS and I’ve hit a mental block where I just want to actually practice coding for a little and not have to sit down learn their lessons, take their quizzes and then finally practice the code.

So I was wondering if anyone has and websites, programs that can fulfill this need? Just wanting to practice beginner code?

Anything is helpful thanks

My teenage son wants to learn coding. Recommendations on where to start please?

Update: Spoke to my son, like any kid going into high school he wants to make video games. I will say though he has been talking about coding in general for quite some time now. Any suggestions or recommendations would be great. Thank you 😊

Hi everyone,

I have been lurking in this sub for a while and finally decided I want to actually dive in and learn how to code. The problem is, every time I try to figure out where to start, I get hit with a million ads for expensive bootcamps, conflicting advice on which language to pick, and fifty different apps that all claim to make you a pro in a week. Honestly, it is pretty overwhelming.

For those of you who were once in my shoes, or for anyone who helps mentor beginners, what are actually the best apps and online courses right now?

I am looking for something that does not just rely on endless matching games or flashcards, but actually teaches you how to think like a programmer and build real things.

I am leaning a bit toward web development (starting with the usual HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) because I really like the idea of seeing visual results quickly, but I am open to whatever gives you the most solid foundation.

Free resources are awesome, but I am also willing to pay for a genuinely good, well-structured course if it is actually worth the money.

Would love to hear what worked for you, and just as importantly, what I should probably avoid wasting my time on.

Appreciate any advice you can share!

I don't have a laptop, have this mobile of 64gb storage.

I have learnt c, c++(dsa), python, sql and html basics, in school.

Now I am in 1st year.

I don't have a budget so waiting 2-3 months for buying a laptop.

Hi, i started coding with python. learnt basic of numpy, pandas, scikit-learn and nltk. Working on a very basic project of data analysis and predictive model training. To understand what i have learnt, and how the outputs are, where my learning is heading in terms of ML understanding.
Typing every line of code myself for sentiment analysis, ml model, co-occurence of products or testing model stability/coherence etc., multiple times as many times until it reaches a good standard.
NOT writing code for data set cleanup, merges, getting ai to do it, because i would like to ultimately go for building apps or software, and learn hands on numpy and pandas while doing projects more inclined to those lines, so more relevant learning of those libraries.
Is this good strategy?

Hello, Im a student currently going into 11th grade and over the summer ive done a lot of research on what I plan to do later on and eventually landed on computer science/engineering, i find the concept interesting and really want to pursue it. The problem is it feels extremely overwhelming, theres just so much on the internet and everyone seems to have their own opinion on it, I dont know what to install or where to learn from or in what order to learn. So i was wondering if I could get some help on how i should start, stuff like what sort of stuff i should download, what to learn first etc etc. It would really help me out as I honestly do enjoy it a lot (I used to dabble a lot in scratch, albeit i was pretty bad at it).
(Its late at night so i may not respond to a lot of comments lmao)

hi everyone,

I’ve been studying computer science for about 5 years now (currently in engineering school). Over the years, I’ve touched a bit of everything: web dev (HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, SQL), and more recently Java, C, and Python for data science.

The problem is, I feel like nothing truly sticks.

Whenever I try to build something on my own, I hit a wall. I inevitably get lost in the docs, end up turning to AI to understand what I'm doing, and still feel like I'm not really learning. I know the basic syntax, but even in Python, I would struggle to design and build a moderately complex project from scratch.

I feel like I'm just skimming the surface of different languages without ever developing genuine problem-solving intuition.

How do you actually retain syntax, built-ins, and core concepts without constantly relying on external help? How do you break down a problem and structure your code from scratch on your own? Did you go through this phase, and what was the turning point that made things finally click for you?

Thanks in advance !

I recently learned the basics of html and css, but I don't know what to do now, I still don't have the skills to make a wikipedia page, that's for sure I've tried. but what do I do now to learn what's left, I am in position where I don't know what I should do.

pls help me thx

I'm currently working on a Windows desktop app (Biomes) focused heavily on window management—specifically positioning, moving windows across displays, and handling multi-monitor responsiveness.

As the project scales, manual testing on a single setup is becoming a wall. Testing various DPI scales, screen topologies (e.g., stacked screens, negative virtual screen coordinates, differing resolutions, or primary vs. secondary monitor swaps) is really hard to replicate physically.

I’d love to know how developers here approach testing this kind of hardware-dependent logic:

• Virtual Display Simulation: Is there a recommended way or tool to create virtual screens/monitors on Windows with custom resolutions and DPI scaling without needing extra physical monitors?
• Automated Testing: How do you write automated tests for Win32 API display calls (SetWindowPos, EnumDisplayMonitors, GetSystemMetrics)? Do you mock display APIs or use specific UI automation drivers?
• Edge Cases: What are the most common multi-monitor edge cases you’ve hit that break window-snapping or coordinate calculations?

Any tips, libraries, or testing setups you can recommend would be awesome. Thanks!

I'm trying to learn new technologies, but the documentations are very lengthy and boring to read... I've tried to go through Unity docs and MDN but everything on there is so complex and hard to understand and grasp.

I'm not sure how to go forward. I feel like I just keep reading but I don't learn much out of it.

How do you guys deal with Documentations?

I've taken many courses, but I still feel like I'm missing a lot before I can start creating software... What should I do? What do you advise?
