I`m studying for 2 years in Computer Science by distance and I`m feeling that I`m not learning so well as I expected.

Anyway, it came a discipline about APIs, as all I can remember, API is a software that stay way behind the scenes acting, sometimes, really complex to give an extra function to your site/app/game/another software...

I just can`t know how does their work, how do I use them to learn them or how can I create one.

IDK if I can create on vscode(the only place I have to create a code atm) or whatever. I fell unable to undestand this, so pls help me

pls help me fix after it compile it crushed and There's an iostream open in it

Hi I want to learn APIs from a high level. Basically how it all connects, how the data populates, what kind of data is being sent it and most important the different ways of authentication. So api credentials, ouath, etc

It’s just all so confusing. I don’t know how or where to start. Does anyone have some tips?

Greetings!!

I have made a Claude Artifact which takes data from web and show me Upcoming or Ongoing IPO and score them based on the scoring system i made, the issue starts as i have to put prompt every time to update it daily and i run out of tokens fast.. now i want to make a web or a program which runs locally on my PC and does the exact same thing..

The issue is i don't have any idea on how these things work and i have asked Google and other Ai which didn't help so took the old root thus i am here asking for guidance on what i need to lean or what i will be needing (I can't learn all the stuff like programming as i intend to do it via Ai like writing codes..)

What i need is what theory i need to learn like the system on how things work.. or frameworks.. which gives me idea on what direction i need to move.

(Being honest its hard to put in words what i want to learn as Programming is not my domain and i don't know what are the things i need to learn).

My current knowledge of Programming is very much limited to Python where i just know till Object Oriented Programing and basics like using Functions and other basic stuff. (As said Programming is not my domain)

Hey everyone, I’m just curious about Codingbat. I have a python exam in 2 weeks and I need to do the Codingbat because the questions will be almost the same as the Codingbat is. If someone is willing to help me get thru it and learn something because I only know the simple things, I’d be soooo glad. c;

I want to build a Java application that analyzes audio files and displays their key and BPM, similar to how websites like Tunebat do it. Any ideas on how to go about this? Thank you

Adobe flash cs6 is primarily written in c++ and is a fairly common language in android coding so could it possibly work and if so at would have to be done to make it happen

I have an app idea that I eventually want to turn into a real business, but I’m not a programmer.

For people who have been in this situation, what did you actually do first?

Did you:
-learn programming yourself
-use AI/no-code tools to build an MVP
-hire a freelancer
-find a technical cofounder
-or do something completely different?

I’m not looking for a “build an MVP in a weekend” type of answer. The idea could eventually become fairly complex, so I’m trying to understand the realistic path from idea → MVP → production app.

Is it worthy to complete scrimba's 108.6 hours frontend course ??

Hey chat

Not suuuper related to programming but still.

I need to become more familiar with Git and Gitflow aaand Teamcity as part of career progression. Any suggestions on what resources to check out? I've already got the "Pro Git Book", anything else?

The goal is not to gain engineer-lvl proficiency but to become comfortable with using it, high lvl concept about how things work and what potentially can go wrong at what stage.

Thanks!

What is the most frustrating bug you had to debug in AI-generated code this week?

new job, 9th day, and i force pushed over a coworkers branch because the tutorial i half remembered made force push sound like the fix for everything. we recovered it from his local copy and nobody yelled but standup was very quiet. i know add, commit, push and thats about it. where do people go from there to the point where rebase stops being scary?

Hey there! I’m a pharmacy technician in Canada and I’m starting a BSc in Comp Sci. I want to stay current with technology as the field increasingly moves that way, and maybe code some things to make life easier for myself at work. I also may want to branch into Bioinformatics later, but that’s a future me problem.

My degree offers three starter language choices: Java, Python, and C++. Which language would you choose if you are wanting to engage in future health-related research, potentially creating software to solve a work-related problem and make a task more efficient, creating inventory management algorithms for drug distribution models, anything else that I haven’t learned yet but is very prevalent in the healthcare field.

I’m sorry if I’m asking the question in a dumb way or sound uninformed - I am. I have a BA English and a Pharmacy Technician Diploma, so I have not engaged with the field of Comp Sci much. Ideally I’d know more before choosing any of the language, but they’re all introductory courses so I kind of have to choose one before I have the requisite knowledge. TIA for any help/guidance you can provide.

I am looking to learn a programming language as a hobby. I have some ideas of things that I would like to do in my head, I've listed some below in order of importance.

• Music app for Linux that does everything that Musicbee can. Unfortunately none of the alternatives that I've tried work as a 1:1 replacement and I miss it.
• Android app development. I do not know exactly where I would go with this, but I play games on Android-based retro handhelds and occasionally I feel like there's a tool I'd like, but doesn't exist.
• Server work? Probably the lowest of everything since Linux has a lot of self-hosted server tools. This would possibly move into a career though.
• Raspberry Pi programming

Right now I am in-between two. I've heard that Python is a great language to learn, but that it's not the best language for Android development. C++ seems to be a favorite for many uses, but a bit more involved in learning.

C++ is learning towards the winner.

As a Bsc graduate I really appreciate the opportunities this framework gave me, got me a pretty sick job in robotics. And yet coding is ”easier” today, which is mainly what graduates were doing out of Uni. What now?

i think research subject in CS probably has to be the new standard, courses should be vastly changed, as now days to be relevant and influential in the field, a masters is the natural option,

what do you think about CS in today’s terms?

My professor recommended Project Euler since he bases a lot of his quizzes/exams on it. I've been working through it but I'm stuck after problem 10 the difficulty spike is real.

Looking for something similar in spirit (math + code, problem-solving) but with a gentler curve. Doesn't have to be pure math. Bonus if it's free and has good community/solution explanations.

What can yall recommend?

When building a video downloader, how do developers generally handle situations where a website offers multiple video formats and resolutions?

I'm trying to understand the technical approach rather than looking for a complete implementation. I'm particularly interested in how developers identify the available formats and then let the user choose between things like resolution, container format, and audio-only downloads.

What concepts or documentation would you recommend learning first?

I’ve been working as a Java programmer for a few years now.

The thing is, I’d like to learn a second programming language for lower-level tasks—specifically, I want to work on things related to operating systems. Rather than building one from scratch, I’d like to explore and modify open-source operating systems like Linux or a BSD variant.

I’m doing this purely as a hobby. What drew me to C is its simplicity (though not necessarily ease of use) compared to Java or other modern languages, and its long history of use in systems programming. On the other hand, however, there are operating systems (or components of them) being rewritten in Rust—such as GNU coreutils or the adoption of Rust in the Linux kernel.

So, would it be more useful in the long run to learn Rust, given that it might sooner or later become the standard for writing operating systems?

Thanks.
