Software Development and Programming Careers (Official Discussion Thread)

[Cynic]

on the flip side anyone who got experience in AI and MAchine learning will be able to eat off the hype which is another reason why i recently got back in python.

Where would you start with python ? If you had no programming knowledge.

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

Thought i'd share this for my brehs in tech. They have a black man as a senior software engineer at Stripe.

They have a study group here: Learn Python in 100 days thread

i mentioned a while ago how i was about to start working on my capstone project to graduate.

I decided to go with a social platform site cater to those who love movies. People can sign up/login and
rate movies, add movies to a watchlist , or make list of whatever they want (like favorite nicolas cage movies). I dont know if ill be able to implement all of those features but those are just ideas.

I used spring boot for the back-end which i finished late last month , and now im working on the front-end with angular.

I feel like the back-end was the hardest part since i had to learn spring security (or at least enough of it) , mySQL and JWT.

hopefully ill be done with the bare-requirements by the end of this month , and then i can do whatever final touches/features it requires like users being able to add each other, and post comments under movies.

A big corp threw me bone and wants me to come for a technical interview for a Senior Software Engineer position for their cloud computing team

Im in shambles right now trying to find excuses to chicken out cause I dont wanna go make a fool out of myself .
But at the same time I realize if I hit this lick, It aint gon ever be the same

Just got the news

At least they had the decency not to ghost me

This is good stuff here

I'm working with python and learning it really as I work with it. You python dudes were playing on easy mode. I knew it a little bit before but never really done real programming with it.

I'm a c/c++ dude so handling my own memory and hard data types is how I roll. This forces you to have to get more creative for certain data structures or hope that an external library like boost has some similar template for more complex implementations similar to python.

When I came across nested dictionaries I admit I was jealous. Making a multi dimensional map in c++ is clunky as fukk and you have to predefine the depth before adding shyt and you have to predefine the type unless you do some (void*) casting. . With python you can just do it on the fly and don't have to care about types or depths.

Update on my project :





I still have to style it but ill probably do that once im done with all the logic. I also want to have the movie poster to be clickable ...and once you click on it...it will take you to the specific page for that movie where the user can comment ,rate and find more information about the movie like plot and trailers.

Is this using an Imdb api? How are you retrieving the information for each movie?

 

[Sonny Bonds]

What do y’all spend your professional development budgets on? I need to spend before years end.

I'm using themovieDatabase api. It also gives you other info such as plot which I'm saving for the movie's specific page.

You're doing good work. Make sure this is on your GitHub, LinkedIn, and resume.
