I find it hard to trust code school's courses when they use green as the color for error.

1) Stop going to univershity
2) Started python coding at home from online courses.
3) Got the best paid job among batchmates.

Education courses nowadays be like,

- Website Development Course @ $49.99
- Security in website Development @ $45.99

Combo offer @ $60.99
=> Hurry up, LIMITED PERIOD OFFER!!!!!

// Like for real??? Why don't you include Security in website Dev course, it's a part of it.

This weekend I took a break from programming and online courses. 2 days of pure video gaming. Haven't done that in months.

I regret nothing.

My wife. She's also my best friend.

Back then, when we were just flirting, I helped her and her friends(they were all medicine students) with their programming courses which included sql and html. I guess that help led us the way we're here now.

Biggest distraction is other non-programming required courses to get your degree

Buying courses in Udemy (or similar), is like paying for a gym membership.

Sure there are some who actually use it. But the vast majority is like: "Now that I paid for this, I'm sure I'll get around to using it..."

Is it only me or is everyone watching on-line coding courses and tutorials at 2x speed?

God damn it udemy, you have courses on the fundamentals of ass wiping but I can't find a good quality c++ from scratch course

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Kill me

How did I learn to program?
It's the funniest story actually.
I studied Computer Engineering where I took programming courses.

Just appreciating my boss for creating an Udemy account and buying courses for us.

Life of a junior self-taught dev with a sysadmin job:

1)At work, desperately try to script and automate every task, even when it isn't nessecary.

2)Learn dev skills from tutorials and web courses at every minute of your free time.

3)When returning home get self-guilt because you're procrastinating instead of doing an all-night development like your dev friends

4)The only productive thing you do is more tutorials and courses because you feel your dev skills aren't high enough for a self project

Frustrated.

Udemy strikes again with their amazing courses..

So many things wrong in this image that I don't even want to start..

Seriously, who teaches people to write code like that?

for me it's 70% design and architecture,
10% Googling, 10% stackoverflow, 10% college courses.

"Start Learning Programming with NodeJS" courses' lecturers be like

We had a guest lecture about computer science and gender equality, and it was exciting to see my male classmates so supportive of drawing more women into our field...They are so tired of taking biology courses just so they can look at pretty girls 😂

Went to buy one course on udemy. Ended up buying 5!!!

Udemy has really nice courses 😁

**Me completing data science courses**
ACCURATE.

Me: Alright, lets hammer out some Udemy courses...

*Opens course*

Instructer: So we are going to go ahead and download Code::Blocks

Me: *Audible sigh*

When scrolling through free Udemy courses for fun, my gf says:
"Whaaaat? Data analysis with Panda and Python? Isn't that shit dangerous? Like they go in the jungle and stuff?"
Me:"oh..."

(Disclaimer: She has no background in CS)

I graduated last weekend. Walked in the commencement ceremony, took pictures, posted a !rant here, the whole 9 yards. Then what happens? I get an email from the dean of the engineering college at my university stating that my degree check was done incorrectly and that I am 3 credit-hours short of graduating, it is too late to sign up for an intersession course, and there are now 3 credit-hour courses offered as 8-weel courses. So here I am, with two Job interviews coming up, without my degree, wondering why the hell I found all this out A WEEK AFTER I "Graduated"! DA FUCK!!!!!

I'm a paid IT professional and I buy courses from udemy. It's because I suck.

Universities: our courses are up-to-date so you will be learning the latest technologies

Their lecture slides in 2021

Most Computer Science courses at my University begin at 7:30 am. I live an hour and a half away. Having to get up around 5 am sleeping less than 4 hours a day. Help

!rant
Be me, reading the slides of the courses I missed for my semester abroad, when I hit this slide :
"Always code as if the person maintaining your code was a serial killer who knows where you live"
I think I'm going to enjoy my semester in Mérida, México 😀

Udemy is like tutorial porn.

I feel like there are more and more people who only THINK they can program, but in reality they barely can make the “Hello, world” program. Many of them come from all of these “online courses”, I’m not saying that from there come only the bad ones, but many of them are bad programmers, who just think that one or two courses is good enough.
You have to gain experience by doing actual work, not by doing pre-baked exercises. In real life most of things you have to solve with your imagination - Stackoverflow will only provide you some raw draw!

Our university labs still use computers with 512mb ram, celeron processor for programming and networking courses. Even worse some of the mouse/keyboards/monitors not working and we occasionally have to do exam on those machines ...

rant init....

I feel like the programming courses in college don't ready you enough for the outside world 😧 - computer science student.

rant complete....

Why is C++ the first language taught in schools when Ruby is a much simpler and fun language?

History says because the courses didn't get updated.

Conspiracy theory says it's to keep out people who can't deal with complexity.

My plan to become rich:

1. Create a library / framework that's really just an easy wrapper for other libraries.

2. Write a bunch of books / courses online teaching this "new" library

3. Market it to overpowered but impressionable PM's who'd fall for anything with the word "inovative" in it

How many of you learned your programming languages from courses/study and how many of you from just grabbing a project and bullshitting your way through until it stuck

Most of our university courses are stuck in the early 2000. Feels like it's mostly due to lazy professors who just use the same material year after year.

What do you think?

It feels like I'm not learning anything useful anymore. Should get out of here ASAP.

Our teachers definitely need some courses to teach them how to use their computers

Guys

What would you recommend?

Shall i go to college or take courses in programming?

Is the college worth it?

Sitting at Starbucks cause my train is delayed and it's the only place with freaking free wifi.

I found the stereotype hipster :D

A guy having Beats Headphones on with a MBP, iPhone X obviously next to his MBP, searching for Elon Musk Audiobooks and Courses for Smalltalk and Management on Audible 🤣

I feel like my Uni is setting me up more for failure then success.

One of my courses needed for graduation is only offered in the spring of even years. Can't wait for 2020!

My company makes us take "courses" such as 'Maintaining a positive attitude towards your company' and 'the downer'(my personal super low budget skit)

FMDL

Why is it that all University sites are full of broken links, despite the fact that some claim to offer the best software engineering courses out there.

I can't stop the urge to buy Udemy courses. Help!! If I don't stop, I go broke cause I'm still aiming for a job.

There are not enough words in the English language to describe how much I fucking hate general education courses and math.

I don't even want a CS degree anymore just to escape the hell that is called required general education courses.

Like why do I need two fucking lab based science classes? Sure, if you were doing the Computer Science with a focus in Chemistry, that makes sense. But I wasn't doing that.

Why do I even need a lab science of CS to begin with, let alone two.

why do i feel like sOfTwArE cErTifiCaTiOnS are the biggest scam in the world

literally zero prediction of the quality of work you will produce, cuz you could float through them anyway

i guess even more 🤡 is companies that request certain "certifications"

correct me if i'm wrong; are there certifications of the equivalent rigor like the fundamentals of engineering (fe) exam? in this sense, our industry is far behind... though to be fair 90% of software is non life / operational critical like building a freaking bridge is

New Year resolution 2018:

Actually read / pass at least 2-3 of the 100+ books/courses on professional topics that I bought in 2017.
And stop buying stuff I don't use.

My middle school teacher showed me Scratch, I really loved it, then I jumped on AppInventor and SmallBasic.

I'm really glad I attended his courses.
Now I'm in college babyyyy

Tooo many courses & projects in wishlist, too little time.

I was thinking about masters in computational neuroscience, so I revisited the lecture notes I took as an undergraduate during intro courses. This shit fucks you so hard it deserves its own porn category somewhere between fisting and DP.

This summer was my first internship and the developers at the company weren't using any version control.

It was literally painful to see the engineer (my mentor) make backups of each file before changing anything in it.

I really do feel, version control should be included in our courses as well.

hey

if my udemy course is too complicated for you

no reason to give it a shitty rating

you're just an idiot

Why are all (or at least 90%) the programming courses so booooring?

So our HoD just sent us this image for doing some courses
And after seeing that superscript ++ I am not even gonna think about it

One time in college we had an android project for one of our courses. Then this one member of my team didn't want to install Android studio because he didn't want to install any unnecessary software and libraries to his machine. We wanted to do his part editing directly in github.

I haven't created anything.

I follow(ed) many courses about programming (CodeCademy, Khan Academy, Udacity, Coursera...), but haven't created anything really personal (excluding robotics) and I feel sad.

I have lots of ideas but many of them require me to learn something new (iOS dev, Fluttr, ElectronJS etc.), and I'm scared of falling in the loop of just following courses and then never finishing projects.

Spent 2+ months this year building two new software courses. They've netted me a total of... $17.00

That's 5 cents per hour at 40/hours a week, not bad!!!!

also please fucking tell me how a $49.99 course with 92 enrollments this month earns me a grand total of $93 (even rounding up here for generosity)

creator: $93
udemy: $4506

udemy: "instructor gets 37% of comissions"

yeah okay then where is my fucking $1000+

I mean what in the literal FUCK is going on here

better put: i average a single fucking dollar for each $50 course I sell?

Please kill me and end it all in this mindless race to the bottom

taking a deep dive on this revenue share and then i'm going to fucking get the money i deserve

I was passing through a street where I found a sign board that said "Linux installation certified course"

What has the world come to these days?

I remember the days when you'd struggle to find a free course online. Now there are too many and you can't complete them all. Can't there be the enough amount of free courses, no more no less?

Was delaying learning a course for quite a long time (felt boring). The finally got the stuff by reading the documentations !

Tell me I am not the only one who thinks reading documentations is way better than taking course (in case of proper documentation ofcourse)

Mom and Dad were proud, when I said I will develop Apps.They helped me to found my own company and arranged some new clients.

My brother is happy with it and is taking CS courses at school.
I've never met people who treated me as a nerd or did not accept my choice

Question?

Did you or anyone you know take a nano degree from Udacity? Is it worth the money ? Do companies or academic bodies recognize it?

Some of their nanodegree courses look very interesting!!

Bad: i got told that i need to stop playing overwatch @ work
Good: so they gave me a bunch of udemy courses

I'm hoarding free courses on Udemy which I probably won't even watch. I even enrolled in stuff not related to dev, things like meditation and etc...

Talking about bad error messages

I missed the regular enrollment period for courses starting in 2 weeks, but I did have late enrollment days, which I remembered.
When wanting to late enroll, I was greeted with th error message in the picture. Bad news first, good news later I guess

As you can imagine, my heart skipped a beat. Nonetheless, it was all good in the end, because I was already enrolled for the compulsory courses I wanted to take

After procrastinating 3 whole months of my vacations, I realise now that vacations about to end and I see that 3 online courses that I didn't even bother to start, are about to close in a week.

*Cracks knuckles*
We'll see about that

My employer forced me to do video courses and pass quizzes/tests. Questions were vague, not directly related to the video and it took me over a week to get past them.

I think i should mention, there was a month for this, but I missed the email and learned about this courses by being warned that deadline is near.

On the second day I made a userscript that stores given answers and mark the correct ones in the next attempts, so that brute-forcing would require less copy/paste.

Topics covered by the courses are a nice subject for another rant.

Thousands of books, tutorial and tons of resourcew which are to guide us, make us feel more lost.

Being a noobie dev is not easy.

I knew I had to become a dev when I started learning PHP instead of sleeping or playing while skipping my high school courses.

When the company my mother worked for was arranging computer courses and could not leave the computers in the borrowed classrooms.

They brought them home and I got to play with them :)

Sinclair ZX80 with 512 bytes of RAM (no hard drive, diskette or CD).

This was 38 years ago ;)

Udemy is full of crap.

I got some course that had been "discounted" from $200 (I already mentioned it is an ugly trick) and it was over in like 20 minutes. The fuck?!

All the info they gave was either common sense or something you could find on the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article on the given topic (it was a soft skills course, not a technical one).

Just junk.

Maybe there are some gems out there, but I'm not sure I would risk it again.

Udemy feels like the Booking.com of courses in terms of deceitful UX, but it's not nearly as useful.

Maybe you guys have found something good there that you could say is a bargain? If so, please let me know.

My university provides advanced education courses and you'll get certified if you pass them. I'm really interested but I don't have so much time, so which one should I pick?
List of courses I'm interested in:

SQL
IT-Security
Project Management
PHP

I'm curious about your suggestions ;)

Beginning of semester in courses with group projects.
It's that time of the year again where you look around in the lecture and try to find the person that least likely makes your whole semester a misery.

My boss keeps pushing me to do „any“ courses..
I’d say I’m doing my job exceptionally well. In fact he even told me before he promoted me.

I had to tell him what I wanna learn in the next 2-3 years. I told him I wanna be decent in C++ because i love the language and in my opinion every dev can improve by learning a low level language.

Have some MITx courses and stuff I wanna do (I actually want to do them) but he keeps pushing me to send him the courses so he can push me and (I think) Monitor my progress..

C/Cpp and asm have always been my love, I wanna improve and learn. But I wanna do it for myself, not for my boss. The company doesn’t have any use for it anyway..

And those courses are 4 weeks to 12 months with scheduled assessments.

I shouldn’t have mentioned it. Now it’s an expectation they have.

Now I have to force myself into doing those courses in time.. on a schedule..?

90% of then will bore the shit out of me cause I already know it and the remaining 10% are stuff I wanna look at when I feel like it. But I don’t have a paper that says I know those 90% so yeah..

Why can’t he just be happy with the work I do during working hours and leave my free time up to me???

This is going to sound stupid to some.. I recently finished sololearns JavaScript course and I loved it but I want to learn more but I have no idea where to start.. I've been browsing tutorials on YouTube but it doesn't help too much.. does anyone have any suggestions?

when your math teacher says she have took c++ courses but you already making app and you know better than your teacher 😎

Getting to know Vim Editor for university. Do you think switching from visual studio code to Vim is a good method for learning? Do you know any good Vim courses?

Friends/Seniors : "Hey, you should take these courses. They are easy and you can get easily an A!"

Who the fuck decide what optional courses to take based on if it's easy or not?!
Students take them because :
a. They are interested in the subjects
b. Knowledge/skills after attending the courses will be beneficial for future career.

I put my money more on option b though, i.e I'd rather get C's in courses that I found it useful, than getting A's in useless courses.
(Btw, my avg grade is just a little above Cs)
If my sole purpose was just to get straight A's, I would enroll in liberal art courses instead of this stressing half-CS course we're in.
You're a joke to yourself, that's why I don't hang out with you.

Do online courses/certificates actually mean something to companies/universities?

Coursera courses? OpenClassrooms? Stuff like that.

My parents have a very good grasp of what I do.

The first computer I got to try was one of the educational computers used for courses arranged by the company my mother worked for and my father studied programming before me ;)

With the upcoming black friday I wanted to ask: is there any actual good sites offering quality paid tutorials/courses (doesn't have to be just programming) just like for example laracasts? I have quickly scrolled through lynda and skillshare and they seem to be rather investing into quantity rather than quality? I am sure somebody here uses some site and can give either good or bad feedback.

Nice tag suggestion by the way lol

When in the screening phone call the HR guy tells you will be using AngularJS. So, you brain like .. ok this is a good reason for you to learn it.

Now I can’t wait to do all the courses online to learn AngularJS lol

I will major in AI. No, I will major in Big data, wait, I want to major in cloud too. I think I should first complete the courses I enrolled on cloud academy or the tens of courses in enrolled on Udemy on all the domains possible first! So many technologies, so many dreams!

// RANT

STUDENTS NEED MORE HANDS ON COURSES !

I'm doing a year abroad for the fourth year of my masters. I come from a school that really pushes projects, pitches and research forward while leaving in some theory.

Now that I'm at another uni in a different country I can't help but note how UNPREPARED students are for a professional setting ! And they are one year away from finishing their masters in Software Engineering...

Students should use version control tools, they should test their software, they should apply their knowledge to a concrete project ! A 3 hour course on software testing is only as good as its practical counterpart.

Resolution for April : I should get started with the Udemy courses I have already paid for.

*** goes to Udemy site, sees new courses for $10 **

Ok, I guess I'll buy these two courses - they seem to be highly rated, i can always catch up on studies later. 🎓

Sometimes just I hate school.

While my gf had to take 2 "Leistungskurse" ("advanced courses"), I have to take 3.
Also, our little-country-side school doesn't offer IT-class as a Leistungskurs. So besides Math, I need 2 extra courses I am super-not interested in. I chose English since it's okay (but I'm not really good either) and ( ._.) chemistry. I had a good teacher in 10th grade but now I have this teacher who
- uses 1980 material
- explains not/bad most times
- is childish as fuck (we are 17-18 y/o)
- expects too much (we need to learn everything by heart)
- throws ugly, unorganized prints at us w/o context & explaination
and I could name more. My A-levels are going to be so fucking bad. Tuesday is my chemistry exam. Kill me, please......

Personally, I prefer learning from examples, trial-and-error and official user manuals over teachers or online courses.

Presents: Udemy Unity & Blender courses

Holiday Reading: A Book Of Lenses

Status: Reenergised, pumped to program once again

I always make the mistake of choosing the wrong courses thinking that I might learn something. I learn nothing and I drop out of the course as a result.

I always forget that my university is not a place to learn anything. It's just for a fucking piece of paper no more, no less so I should take the easiest courses to just pass by.

Do you devs spend on learning ? Like paid courses etc. Or not at all ?

Here in Spain instead of calling it CS we use the term "Informática", which is closer to the broader IT. Which means that hyped me enrolled in all the "Informática" courses since high school, only to be shot in the face by yet another "Let's learn PowerPoint" course. I honestly hate that.

I've been giving small courses (one week long) to kids at age 12-16 about real programming, starting from scratch to real-world arduino or Java, because that is what I hoped I would have found at their age.

Decided to jump into the machine learning bandwagon and picked up a few books and some online courses. I already feel way out of my depth.

Hey, all you shitty devs who give my Udemy courses 1 or 2 stars with no comment or feedback

FUCK YOU!!!!

I will learn java, c#, python and swift in udemy in 6months... purchase the courses, started , only did hello world for each course, never came back

Does anybody know of any good kotlin tutorials/courses?

for now i'm fueled by rage

started building a new SaaS app

similar to my other one, in the fintech space

literally all i need is 50-60 subs and i can do this, as well as courses and educational content full time!

we'll see...

Self taught JavaScript developer here

Is there any exams or online courses or certification I can take to make my resume more fancier ~

Udemy courses are a fucking trap.

Bought one course on MERN stack by a youtuber I like, 10 minutes later I have 2019 filled with everything from web development to machine learning with sprinkles of flutter and react native in their as well

Side note - their 'sales' tactic is extremely slimy practice

Udemy is having a sale. Offering lots of courses for 10$ only. Thought it'd be okay to share with fellow developers eager to learn new stuff.

I expect you to have data before advertising data analytics courses to me Udemy ... You don't even have my %lastname% for god's sake

Just realised I had been gifted a tonne of Udemy courses covering Unity 2D and 3D, Unreal Engine, android studio etc...

Well... Know what I'll be doing over a few weeks!

What's wrong with this symfony course's thumbnail.

Some Udemy courses are super cringe.

Can tell this guy isn't formally educated nor a professional programmer.

His code is so badly formatted and his naming conventions reeks of inexperience.

Spaghetti everywhere.

First day of job. Im doing jack shit. They just make me watch udemy courses of Azure and linux shell and bash scripting all for devops purposes so they can pay a microsoft certificate for me to pass and get certified and they pay for udemy courses. Im basically getting paid to watch courses on the job

Udemy, Skillshare, Coursera, Pluralsight, and FreeCodeCamp are all kinda garbage.

Has anyone tried Team Treehouse?

I have a strong feeling that Udacity is the best thing that I've ever discovered in my learning life.

Can you share other online courses I haven't mentioned? Thanks.

I study both mathematics and computer science at Delft university. There's a difference between the approaches these two studies have.
Mathematics is usually about going to lectures, learning complicated stuff there and then using the obtained knowledge in a exam at the end of the course.
The CS courses are kore about engineering. They have practicals way more often than the math courses and the exams usually are of les importance.

It feels as if the "academic level" of the CS courses is lower. In math, we learn the real deep, abstract matter, while CS is more about "tinker up something nice in the practicals and you'll be fine."

I'm not sure if either approach is better, but I'm sure I like the maths version more. The CS approach is more HBO-like (HBO being the lower-level universities)
It is even that, generally speaking, the people who study maths seem more serious about studying than the cs people.
Not all of them, and no offense meant, just an observation.

Well, that was not really a rant. If you read up to here, I'm curious what you think about this.

Mining-Noob-Exp. #2

Didn't found a simple mutpli currency read only wallet viewer to just quickly have a glance the current courses and your balances, so I wrote it quickly (and dirty) by my own 😋

Planning to write a stable Sail application of this idea

I've been wanting to get into circuit design and general electronics for a while now. PCBs seem interesting.
What can you people recommend me to start learning it? I've only found some random courses by people with thick accent I cant understand.

Hey

Anyone looking into how A.I. can improve language learning courses (and obviously, speech recognition) and such?

I know, A.I. buzzword, but I think it's applicable here..

Who is actually coding A.I. right now anyway? anyone?

Stupid useless humanities courses, because, really, who cares about humans? Besides that, silly Excel questions at work, my boss talking of his non-work projects and devrant (because it is not a #wk51 rant without saying it)

I'm going through my Udemy courses for the hell of it and see if I might even learn some things, started a course I knew would start of way too basic but Jesus Christ, 7 lectures for doing basic player movement and animation... Strap in boys, it's going to be a long ride

When the team lead has no idea what the problem is but took too many public speaking courses so he’s really well-versed at feeding people bullshit…

Programing courses in my country
Translation:
Learn PHP in only 2 hours and half without any prior knowledge

After office time. That time really works. Learn from online courses. And apply it. No one will be there. Silence!

Wasting time on certain worthless, outdated uni courses

Taking college summer courses for the first time ever. I hope I can handle the load; at least they don't overlap.

Studying multimedia developer course Class year one learning HTML.
Build this with tables and inline styles....

Assignment was clearly written and you where able to copy past most of it.
I was like fuuu. I build it in CSS and external style sheet.

Time set for assignment 4 days, time used: 3 hours.

This was in 2008......

I hope now for you students out there that it has changed and you are learning proper coding and are correctly challenged

Hey, unity devs out here!

Any Udemy unity courses suggestions?

During my undergrad I had 2 courses which taught how to code in assembly. Nobody, nobody uses it😢

Requirements for achieving omniscience!
Complete courses without registering for them!

When they change the ethics,health&safety,anti corruption etc. online courses so that the next links are disabled until the audio is completed.

thenewboston on YouTube; Google, Stack Overflow, and University courses

Just like there are many programming courses, bootcamps etc. there should also include documentation bootcamps and courses

Me: Ok lets focus on my games dev kit, just got the hang of UI using GML and things are going well...

Also me: Oh look, Udemy have some decent courses goig for $18 AUD... Guess im learning Xamarin and more of unity!

Anybody have any great tutorials about web scraping with python? The data science courses I took only covered maipulauting and visualizing data not getting it.

I want to be able to learn how to program as of now but there's no good courses online that I can actually interact with and my programming elective starts next semester in school. So unless one of you Devs can give a good suggestion, I'm basically sitting here playing with the commands I do know in my Linux terminal.

god remind me to never work with an education software company again

first, they didn't even know my course has been done for months, like, does anyone look at what your company produces?

then, they completely change the intro page and wording, have to reado that, its anyway a wall of text which they probably smugly think is good for SEO, *WRONG*, if every page is formatted nearly the same with some words swapped out you for sure are PENALIZED, not rewarded... clueless clowns

and NOW, I need exactly to-the-pixel dimensional images????? wtffffffffff

all for a course that *MIGHT* bring in something like $500... *MIGHT*

I mean for these courses it's more important about giving back and helping the community, but asking this much paper pushing busy work bullshit that you know won't even amount to an hourly wage north of something like $2... it's just not worth it anymore

never again

Do companies actually think these weeky 3 hours/session scrum courses actually help?

Hey guys.
So, got tired of trying to learn on top of the knee (Portuguese expression) and decided to do some courses to get the basics.
Where do you recommend I go?
1. Course must be free
2. Not over 100 hours per course (I'll have 1 to 2 hours a day if I really focus on it)

What I need:
Language (lvl of knowledge)
- Python (know the basics) + kivy (basics)
- Html (good) + css (basics) + javascript (basics)
- node.js (0)
- Jquery ( 0 ) + Django (0)

I know there's lots of good courses out there and lots of dumb stupid ones, care to give your opinion? Thank you

the struggle when you start a bunch of coursera courses at the start of vacations and in the end you are at the introduction of the course video.

interviewer: “i see you have taken some machine learning courses”

me: “yep”

also me: *googles the normal equations*

Listening to Kavinsky and having the urge to do some coding in 80's atmosphere , then remembering semester starts in two days and I really gotta pass those courses. *sigh*

So does React Fiber mean all my Udemy courses i was 'getting to' are now useless? Either way, Redux should still be relevant

Usually my home internet download speed is around 800-900 KB/s

Then I purchased Academind and codewithmosh courses then tried to download the courses but the download speed became 63-90 KB/s wow nice 👺

Maybe because of the holiday. Hopefully the download speed will be ok tonight.

(I like watching downloaded tutorial videos)

So I get it is a trying time right now as most people continue to adapt to a physical distancing world. But it is so frustrating that some teachers can't figure out how to start a video meeting 😑

Makes it really hard to be tested on lectures you can't watch.

Also WebEx sucks!

Anyone know any good JS ES6 courses? Don't mind the price. It's great if it encourages practical learning :)

(Got a new developer on the team, junior AF)

What books or courses would you recommend to further my knowledge in C/C++?

I have 4 development courses for this term... so help me get stickers pls

Since MIT is giving free access to their courses online, I shall study Computer science web programming with Python and Java
as I thought it would be so cool to have a large snake round my neck as I drink coffee.

Love going to out-of-state programming courses on the company dollar!! Went to Germany, Denver, and Rochester, NY for Codesys training. Hate PLC programming but it's fun traveling and learning new things.

I get bouts of motivation and when I do I pick up 100s(clearly exaggerating) of things to learn which includes taking up new courses everywhere(literally), trying to be an open-source contributor, the most recent one is I've purchased a Ukulele (it's going good so far, well thanks for my $1 Masterclass subscription that I took last year!).
The sad part is that I have many unfinished courses everywhere. I'm learning to handle one thig at a time.

Half of the courses in my Bachelor of Engineering in IT course was about electronics. They even had chemistry and drafting.

What did they think I'll get a job in? Making silicon chips or writing CAD software?

And they didn't put in Algorithms. And combined Java and web development into one course.

WTF

Make CS introductory courses introduce more. Last year I took one in my uni to check out how was formal education in programming. They took an entire semester to teach what I learnt in about a week (about 2 hours a day of dedicated learning). They only taught python, a language you can pick up in about 6 hours of learning. To give you a sense of how slow this course was, they took TWO weeks to teach how lists work. This are university level courses in an institution that pretends to be the best in the country. Fuck that shit, they are incompetent as fuck and treat their kids as 5yo boys.

Many higher-level courses preach about importance of HCI, UX, etc., but not a single class in the program I went through actually touched front-end development.

I've been contacted by tutorialspoint 3 different times by 3 different people

I already have courses on tutorialspoint

I’m a homebody anyway and never want to leave the house. Now I have a valid excuse for not leaving the house. Feeding toxic and unhealthy behaviors? Yes. Is right now the time to care? Probably not. Queue bingeing 12 hours a day of Udemy courses.

There is a deal on udemy for black Friday, all courses are 9.99€ in case anyone cares, I know it's really popular among devs.
I got one for unreal engine and one for python machine learning - they are well taught so far.

Is there any good machine learning / unity3d online courses that you guys recommend?

I watch pirated movies but is it just me who feels really weird that people even pirate udemy courses? I'm not saying pirating movies is a good thing but pirating study materials... Man it's a weird feeling 😅

The training courses I am currently writing for work. I just love learning stuff, and sharing that knowledge. It's a lot of work though.

It's actually really strange. I am a real introvert, and hate every human, but I love to stand in front of a dozen people and train them...

Pluralsight or lynda or udemy or udacity or treehouse or tutsplus or edx or coursera or codeacademy or codeschool or video2brain

Which one is the best for JS related courses?
Currently I use pluralsight, udemy and udacity

So much to learn so little time :|

As I have a break between uni courses, and I’m bored of C# I thought I’d try learning C++.
I’m working my way through Bjorne Stroustrup’s book at the moment and also have the C++ Primer in my kindle library.

Can anyone recommend any other good sources to learn the language?

Super funny front end developer which has great courses. I learned a lot from him and his humor is great and make his courses interesting and funny to watch.

I feel like I have a creativity blackout.
I want to develop a self-toy project but I have no idea what to do.

I just spend my free time on web courses. I guess that's better than nothing.

So i made an account on this education videos android app for checking their ui. Used the name "Han solo" and... they contacted me for buying their courses!
Geek reference vs marketing logics:
Tech people: 1
Marketing dept : 🤦🏻‍♂️

I learned at IT school, because I didn't want to learn bad practices. And I don't regret that choice, teachers and courses were great !

Free python courses/study material? (online)
Thinking of learning python bcuz of how popular it is. Any websites/apps for beginners (that also extends to advanced without IAP or other form of payments)?
Thanks in advance.

So radio ads for federation training keep touting having available courses in IT... Check the website and IT isn't even fucking listed... Thanks guys -.-

Bored and want something to do? Learn MongoDB. There’s SO many great resources out there! I have legit enjoyed these first three courses in Mongo University (+1 on Udemy).

Does any one know any good bash script courses?

I wanna start getting into the programming of android apps.
Any suggestion where to start from? Any good online courses you can recommend?

Anyone else take online classes in college for programming and find several of your courses not having lectures and completely relying off a book, even for assignments?

Week X:
Read chapter x
Do end chapter assignments x x, and x

Curiosity as a kid with Visual Basic. Then university courses with Java and learning C++ on the side. And started the self learning journey from there. I never touch those 3 first languages anymore.

4 years in high school (turbo Pascal, Java, c++, didn't learn much more than basics), summer course with Macromedia director, a few college courses/internship with html/css/flash.

But most of all, just working and learning as I go.

Where can I find video courses of top-notch universities?

Any idea when i can get free certificate courses in programming?

What do you guys think of udemy dev courses?

Are there any online courses / University Certifications / Books or similar things that talk about Software Architecture?

I am reading Clean Architecture from Robert C. Martin but I'd appreciate other suggestions.

My dev goal for the new year will be teaching others, and I could use some help!

For quite some time I have been thinking about setting up some kind of community project in my area teaching people who are having a hard time finding a job in their field how to program, specifically web development, in order to advance their job prospects. There is a lot of demand here in Holland and as we all know it doesn't take much more than dedication, disambiguation skills and an almost fanatical fondness for solving puzzles to lead a very happy life as a developer. I'm hoping 2019 will be the year.

What complete courses can you recommend to teach someone how to code, that are fun/inspiring enough to keep someone motivated (and able to go to school and/or make a living in the meantime) until they can use their built up skills and portfolio to get a first job (perhaps 1-2 years)?

I plan on tutoring once or twice a week for a few hours and being available for chat the rest of the week when not working. I have enough experience (and curiosity) to help with any assignment but I do not have that much spare time, which is why I need this resource to be as good as possible, and to need as little extra explanation as possible.

My benchmark is the excellent freecodecamp, but I'm wondering if anything else is available. Bonus points for anything in Dutch, or anything that stands out by explaining things in the clearest way possible, and with great assignments of course.

Also I'd be very interested in any stories about similar (not-for-profit) initiatives, especially from a learner's point of view.

Thanks!

Of all the browsers required to complete mandatory classes online for the USMC you would think they would support a modern browser and no IE6 or flash heavy courses only...

What courses do i need to take to be a cyber security engineer?

All these online coding courses, and I have to wonder... Are they as good as they seem to advertise?

Functional programming course starts today. I'm really looking forward to it, but it is so early compared to my other courses

Be humble. Nobody knows everything.

Keep learning: read books, take Pluralsight courses, go to meetups.

Write unit tests for your code. No really! Write unit tests for your code!

Learn what the SOLID principles are.

Your job does not define who you are, you define who you are.

Anyone else using Enki has had most of his bookmarked insights and some of his courses unsubscribed?

unfortunately i had to learn the hard way how to pick online courses ( yes, i am not very smart), udemy has disappointed me.

Are there any good course providers with completion certificates?

!rant very happy to see a development at my uni towards having programming(+related courses) being more and more examined throughout the course through assignments and seminars where you have to explain what you did and why. I think this is a much more suitable solution for some courses best done with practise than having a paper based exam.

I wish to learn embedded systems and programming . Are there any online courses and mobile apps,? I'm a beginner.

Anyone know any good free courses to learn programming for a total beginner?

The guy who needs it is looking to work with JavaScript and Node eventually.

PHP devs and enthusiasts, any online courses that you can recommend to someone who never touched PHP

There is a study budget here for €500. I check for vue courses but they are all €1500+. Great

So I just failed my maths exam.

Nothing more to say except all other courses have way way better grades than my course.

So my teach's got two courses and both of them massively fucked up, course average (both) 4.5-5.6 (d- - f).

All other courses are just Soo way better that I just can't believe that fault is only on the student side here.
And to top it off, this scenario is not new at all.

Had the same shit with our courses failing unlike the others anothet time too.

FUCK YOU FR. NIELEN

This summer I have a goal to master web development(nice joke, I know, but you get my point...). Html, CSS, Javacript, Python-Django etc and a website that is getting better all the time. But I have a big problem, something that really bothers me. I lack in understanding. I set up servers following tutorials and God help me if something doesn't work, I use patterns and libraries I barely know what they're made of, technologies that are totally strange to me. Right now, I'm totally confused of whether I need to have my database on a different server, or a dbaas, what the hell do I do if static files pile up etc. What can I do to get myself out of this path? Any books, courses, whatever, that teach not only the how but also the why? Thank you

What is your opinion about courses?

I got into the world of development from the world of Sysadmining and security with 10 month long Java course and now doing web courses in my free time.
I feel this really helped me, as before I tried to learn completely by myself but failed. Now I feel much more confident learning by myself(albeit I still feel Noobish as fuck)

How did you learn? Did you take courses? Completely by yourself? Through work?

2017: This year I am going to learn a lot of stuff. *Buys 10 courses*
2018: I am going to finish all the courses I bought, *Buys like 10 other course*
2019: This is the year I am going to do it. *Ignore courses goes to Youtube*
2020: This year is the charm. Hopefully. 😬🙃

Does wanting to leave a company simply because of legacy code with no documentation and too much work a bit reason? I guess it probably is as anywhere could have the same thing :) Maybe management would be better suited for me, time to take courses

There were no tools that would of been a great help during my college courses. So I decided to make my own. After a long time of hammering Google and watching YouTube videos it clicked, I fell in love with programming and I built the tools to make my life easier.

How do you learn new tech things---large things like framework, language, etc? Books, online courses, instructor-led course, blogs, randomly poking around?

I buy way too many tech books and spend way too many weekends reading them.
