I have a question ❓ I was writing this code or rather chartGPT helped me write it but now whenever I try to run it it says Tronweb is not a constructor what does that mean

Starting out as a new programmer can be overwhelming, but with the right guidance, it can also be an exciting journey. Here’s a beginner’s guide to help you get started:

Choose Your First Programming Language:
Start with a language that's known for being beginner-friendly, like Python. It's widely used and has a clear and readable syntax.
Consider what field interests you—web development (JavaScript, HTML/CSS), data science (Python, R), software development (Java, C#), etc.

Understand the Fundamentals:
Learn the basic concepts such as variables, data types, control structures (if statements, loops), functions, and object-oriented programming.
Practice these concepts by writing small programs.

Set Up Your Environment:

Install the necessary software, like a code editor (Visual Studio Code, Atom), and set up your development environment.
Learn to use version control systems like Git and platforms like GitHub.

Practice Coding Regularly:
Consistency is key. Try to code every day, even if it’s just for 30 minutes.
Work on small projects or coding challenges on platforms like HackerRank, LeetCode, or Codecademy.

Build Projects:
Apply what you’ve learned by building simple projects. This can be as simple as a calculator, a to-do list application, or a personal website.
Completing projects gives you something to show to potential employers and helps consolidate your learning.

Read and Understand Code:
Read other people's code. GitHub is a great place to start.
Try to understand how and why the code works, which will improve your coding skills.

Learn Debugging:
Debugging is an essential skill. Learn to read error messages and use debugging tools to find and fix bugs.

Grasp the Basics of Algorithms and Data Structures:
Start with basic sorting algorithms (like bubble sort, insertion sort), and data structures (like arrays, lists, and dictionaries).

Join a Community:
Engage with communities on platforms like Stack Overflow, Reddit’s r/learnprogramming, or join local meetups.
Being part of a community can provide support, networking opportunities, and mentorship.

Keep Up with the Industry:
Read programming blogs, listen to podcasts, and stay updated with the latest technology news.
Continuous learning is crucial in the ever-evolving field of programming.
Understand Computer Science Fundamentals:

As you get comfortable with programming, start learning computer science basics, including how computers work, operating systems, networks, and databases.

Be Patient and Stay Motivated:
Learning to program takes time and effort. Don’t get discouraged by setbacks.
Celebrate small victories and keep track of your progress.

Remember, every expert programmer was once a beginner. It's a journey of continuous learning and practice. Good luck on your programming adventure!

Body
Greetings friends I have a small and big problem at the same time I need in a dynamic select to save another value instead of the id in my database for example I select a redip and in the BD I save the name not the id... I would very much appreciate the support provided. I'll leave you the code and the database so you can find your way around

query($sql)) { $id = $mysqli->insert_id; } header('location: ../login/inicio.php'); $mysqli->close(); // Para guardar los valores en la tabla // Busca los IDs correspondientes en la base de datos //$idredip = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT redip FROM redip WHERE id_redip = '$redip'"); //$idmodelo = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT idmodelo FROM modelo WHERE modelo = '$modelos'"); //$idcolor = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT idcolor FROM color WHERE color = '$color'"); // Inserta los valores en la tabla //$sql = "INSERT INTO reservas (marca, modelo, color) VALUES ('$idredip', '$idmodelo', '$idcolor')"; //if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) { // header('Location: ../index.php'); //} else { // echo "Error: " . $sql . "
" . $conn->error; //} //$conn->close(); ?>

[AdityaSrivastava185]

Hello , can i get to know that i am looking for people who can review my project amd contribute to it , where should i post my project for further developments , The project is reactjs-for-beginners and It aims to be a resource for learning reactjs and a starting point for all the beginners contributors to get started with open source , So currently looking forward to improve the docs of the project and also add some new stuffs and raise issue for the contribution

[Rarewolf626]

I think you are very excellent developer.
Thanks

[AdityaSrivastava185]

Hello , I want to start building a full stack project but i am confused between the tech stacks , should i choose mern stack or build with (mongodb , express , nodejs and ejs ) stack to build the application , and also that if i would build with ejs template engine is it still going to help me in future like mern stack or not , is choosing ejs a good option ?? Please help me to solve this issue

[Rarewolf626]

I think mern stack is the best option.
As you know, React is very popular javascript library and It is using virtual DOM.
So It has fast speed.
That's all.

[aziz-codes]

If you are excited about web development then you can go with initially HTML/CSS and JS, then you pick Angular or React, Angular required prior knowledge of Typescript, so React is a good choice, then Next JS and then you can go with backend like Node, express and some other frameworks.

Try to build real time projects you will get a better idea.

Starting Your Programming Journey

If you're new to programming, I highly recommend starting with C. C is a foundational language that gives you full control over your code, allowing you to understand the underlying mechanics of how your programs work. It's like having a remote control to your code, where it executes exactly what you instruct it to do, no more, no less. Once you're comfortable with C, you can explore other programming languages depending on the specific field or industry you're interested in. I suggest using platforms like LinkedIn to connect with professionals in your area of interest and gain insight into the most relevant languages for your career goals.

Key Learning Resources

Data Structures & Algorithms

To build a solid foundation in programming, start by mastering data structures. FreeCodeCamp offers a comprehensive and free curriculum that covers both basic and advanced concepts. Understanding how to build and manipulate custom data structures will significantly improve your problem-solving skills.

Algorithmic Thinking

Once you have a strong grasp on data structures, take the next step by diving into algorithms. Platforms like Leetcode provide an excellent environment for practicing algorithmic challenges. This will help you develop the critical thinking skills necessary to determine how, when, and which algorithm to apply to a given problem.

Practical Application: Build Projects

Building projects >>> YouTube. Youtube will not make you a proficient programmer—just as you can't learn to play the piano by watching others play. The key is consistent practice and building real-world projects that challenge and expand your skills.

If you are unsure about which project to take on, check out codingchallenges.fyi . It has a variety of problems ranging in different areas of concentrations.

Best Of Luck.

I wonder if any of you around here are self taught , and if so how did you get your first job ? And how much time it took you to do it?
