I'm not sure if it's common knowledge and I'm the last one knowing about it BUT. Today I found a site where there are a bunch of courses for FREE, NO REGISTRATION from MIT. Like, you can just go there, choose a course (or more) click on download course and you have a folder with HTML pages where you can download lecture notes, assignments, videos. Ofc they won't give you any certificate/degree but there are real things from MIT for free.

Anyway here there's the link: https://ocw.mit.edu/search/

hi there, i'm trying to get into the coding community so to speak. what sites can i join to discuss/do coding related stuff? I know about stack overflow, github and leetcode but i'm sure there are more, do you have any advice on which spaces are worth joining? thanks!

Communities To Join For Coding/Programming

Yeah I can help! In terms of "which spaces are worth joining" would depend on you. What I see as a place worth joining is a place where I can teach others - I like giving knowledge back on what I learnt so some places that I listed don't work well for me to do that and some others I prefer the most like the discord servers I'll mention. So, you'll have to skim through these and see if they're something you like!

Anyhoo, here are some places I found:

Reddit: There are many subreddits dedicated to coding, such as r/learnprogramming, r/coding, and r/programming. You can also find subreddits dedicated to specific programming languages or technologies so you can get specific help or provide the help to those languages etc.

Codecademy Forum: They have a forum and a discord server where you can talk about the courses and get buddies to do projects together who are at the same level as you!

FreeCodeCamp Forum: This website offers free coding lessons and projects, and also has a community forum where you can ask for help and connect with other learners. I met 2 developers from there who helped me a lot.

Dev.to and Medium: Both a community where developers come to share their knowledge and experiences through blog posts and discussions. Developers sometimes gain good writing experience by writing these posts (great way to move towards being a technical writer). I've made a Dev.to account and I'm slowly adding my programming posts from here to there and I want to start using Medium too 🤔

Discord: There are many Discord servers dedicated to coding, where you can join discussions and get help with coding problems. I made a whole post with a list of discord servers I'm part of and would recommend it if you want to get into it! I made lots of developer friends from the discord servers. Intimidating at first but slowing you'll like it I think! I'm mostly there to help people with HTML and CSS problems and you can help people the same with whatever. you're strong in!

In the end, the websites and communities you choose to join will depend on your interests and goals. I recommend exploring a few different options and finding the ones that work best for you - I did that and I preferred the discord servers over the subreddits 😅

Good luck with your coding journey! 😸👍🏾💗

I’d like to redo this film, Jumpin’ Jack Flash (1986), as a queer stem film.

For now it will just be inspo.

Hiya! Just found your blog, and first of all it’s awesome that you’re learning so many things!! and there’s so much progress good job :000

My best friend started a course on c# coding but they’ve been feeling so stressed out that they have been avoiding it for the longest time, that i decided that i’ll learn as well and help them cause i want them to succeed, understand and be confident!!

But uhhhh… obviously i don’t have access to the course that they are doing, and they don’t have notes for me, cause they haven’t been doing it….

Can you please point me to good starting out c# resources? And uhh probably a question for the future, would it be okay if i would pop in here from time to time with questions about code? thank you in advance for answering and please have a wonderful day, don’t forget to take breaks and drink water!

Hallo Hallo! ≧◉◡◉≦

I’m sorry your friend is struggling with C# right now, C# is literally the hardest programming language I’ve tried yet so I understand the feeling. I just submitted a C# project that was due on the 18th of April… I just couldn’t understand Abstract classes and Interface and it took me a month to understand them. Sometimes I just need a break from C# altogether! But props to you for wanting to learn C# and help them, especially since you’re going the self-taught route!

So, C# resources! As I am still learning (only 6 months into my apprenticeship) my advice is like amateur/junior level! But I’ll try my best! This is my advice and I know some more experienced c# programmers might be like “Erm, no?” but hey ho I’m trying my best!

Microsoft C# Documentation

Use this like your religious/spiritual book. It’s hella confusing at first but always just refer back to this, especially good practises and error codes you don’t understand. I recommend going over the ‘Learn to program in C#’, ‘C# fundamentals’ and ‘Key Concepts’. Just skim read them, watch the videos, do the tutorials, save them on your computer to look back, make notes and more. Read read read until you understand. And if you can’t, there’s Youtube that can visually show you how.

The way my teacher taught C#

This is the order he taught us and I am very confident up to Topic 9. I’m still going over notes from there on and doing the homework. If you have any questions from topics 1 to 8, I’d be happy to help! WinForms and Databases (C# x SQL) were included because I did those before my C# learning but I can help with those too!

The basics - installing Visual Studio, first console app, first WinForm

Discord

I would recommend joining a community for help and inspiration. I joined one on Discord called C# (LINK), they have like actual C# experts on there - Had one read my code and he said it looked great, I literally melted in my seat I was so happy XD

I hope this helps as a starter! And like you mentioned, you can dm or ask me any questions. And if you’re in need of homework for topics, I can give you similar homework tasks my tutor gave us / make some up for you, I don’t mind. BUT REMEMBER I am still like beginner/Junior (I would say more low-level Junior) with C# so if I’m like uhhhh, I’ll just ask my tutor/my colleagues at work and see if they can give feedback.

But yeah! This is all I can think of right now as help! Dm me if you are stuck on anything! Have a nice day! ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ
