I am a self taught programmer from the UK. Busy crafting and documenting portfolio projects so I can demonstrate my abilities. Looking to change industries.
Nothing here yet.
Hey, great post, it’s the ‘devil is in the detail’ thinking that I like about getting to the nuts and bolts.I too would feel uneasy not really knowing how it all works behind the scenes. Obviously, like you say, you don’t need to know - but some people just want to know, and I’m one of those people! One job on my list is to spend a bit of time learning how the stdio library works and really getting into the nitty gritty of the implantation of say, scanf or printf. Thanks for a nice article
Hey thanks - it is good to know how and what is realistic when attempting some projects. I have no experience in server management or managing back end or anything of that ilk. Is it the case that if you have a huge amount of visitors per day - then this is a mammoth effort in itself? Way beyond the abilities of 1 person or a small team? Cheers!
Hi, I am Rich and I am a fledgling programmer. I'm an online maths tutor and the time I have freed up (from being a classroom teacher) has enabled me to spend more time with my family and on my interests. I am a keen maker and now have the time to do it! I am teaching my self programming by following CS50 from Harvard and have spent all my coding so far, doing so in C. I really like it as I feel (maybe wrongly?) that I am getting a good grounding in Comp Sci whilst doing it. I want to use my tech skills to make stuff, and maybe even make something cool that could be of use for online teaching- VR, IoT etc. Thanks!
