Offering Free Software/Web Dev Tutoring Sessions on Twitch Stream Once a Month!

OK, the people have spoken! There was a definite expression of interest in coding tutoring when I floated a vague post about it towards the coding side of Tumblr, which was very exciting to see! I am really excited about helping teach new people in the industry, and I conveniently have a Twitch stream where I do lots of coding stuff on Sundays. Seems like these two things go well together! :D

Here's the deal:

For right now, I will allocate the first Sunday of every month on my coding stream to tutoring! This will be two slots of an hour each, one from 11am-12pm Central Time and one from 12pm-1pm Central Time. (Depending on interest, there may be more slots in the future as well. :) ) If you are interested in requesting a slot for tutoring, please fill out this form!

Blackjack Software Livestream Tutoring Interest Form

On the first Sunday of every month from 11am to 1pm Central US time, I do two hour-long slots of software development tutoring, live on my T

This is a pay-what-you-can offering, and if I offer you a live tutoring slot it will be at no charge! However, I welcome donations to whatever degree you can afford them, after the session, to help keep my stream and other projects going.

Submitting this form does not guarantee I will give you a tutoring session, as some subjects are more conducive to demonstrating on stream than others and some may be too far outside of my expertise for me to be helpful. However, I will try to at least reach out to you and provide some helpful resources if I have any to offer. 

If you don't want direct tutoring on stream (or even if you do!), feel free to stop by my Discord server at https://discord.gg/k4gDad5, where we talk about coding, gaming, and plenty of other nerdy stuff! :) Everyone's welcome, just don't be a jerk. ;)

I'll be posting more about this in the future depending on the response I get. Feel free to hit me up with questions if I can clarify anything. :)

Finally - this is a bit of an experiment; I've never tried this before so I will also be learning as I go. :) Suggestions/feedback appreciated.

Thanks for your interest and good luck in your coding adventures!

time not showing up & i'm sadly taking a pause🩷

i have been focus on this that i don't know anymore what's wrong 😭😭 I follow everything the tutorial show

i don't wanna focus on this anymore I GIVE UP!!!!!!!

I want to focus on something else on my website, but this stops me!! I wanna make a gallery and I still haven't started it. I really did love this idea sadly I'm not experienced enough in javascript. But if anyone in the community knows how i can make this.

like i want the song that is playing to be border and have an image that shows that it playing (like in the picture). I just want all the song name to show up and the playing song to be border in hot pink.

I can't really lol I'm taking a pause 😭😭😭 I try everything but somehow it just doesn't work so I'm taking a pause and gonna focus on other stuff 🤗🤗

POINTERS introduction

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(){ /* int n = 5; cout << n << endl; output: 5 */

// is for a comment line and /**/ is for multiple line comments //I make it like this so you can paste it immediately into a compiler //variable - &address - *pointers. //START //just like variable, a pointer is a container as well, storing an address (a memory location) //n is a variable meaning that it is a container storing certain value //because it's a container, it has it's address inside the memory, a physical location //in order to check the location / which address :

/* int n = 5; cout << &n << endl; output: 006FFD64 */

//because it's not always fun to remember long address numbers, so we give them names - variables. we create a pointer to name an address and easily access it.

//POINTERS //how to create a pointer holding address of our n variable:

int n = 5; cout << &n << endl;int* ptr = &n; cout << ptr <<endl; //in order to indicate that you're creating a pointer, use * star (int*) //then give it a random name (ptr) //assign it (to ptr) the address of our n variable which is = &n (= assign)(& address)(n variable) cout << *ptr << endl; // a star * before the pointer's name will only reference the pointer and then find the VALUE of the ADDRESS //which is our original variable n //basically we're asking for the value 5, not the address 006FFD64 //CHANGE THE VALUE (5) stored in the pointer ptr address: *ptr = 10 ; //a star * means access the memory location and (=)assign a NEW (10) value //let's check if it's now 10 instead of 5 cout << *ptr <<endl; cout << n ; //both *ptr and n now show 10

//NOTES //pointer has to be of the SAME TYPE as the variable it is pointing to //int pointer to int variable, not int to float //char pointer to char variable, bool pointer to a bool variable, etc //you can't assign a value to a pointer, it has to point to an address //first create a (example) variable to store that variable's & address to the pointer //pointers are problem solvers and not the casual way it's used in these examples system("pause>0"); return 0; }

Current Coding Study Goal - Introduction to CSS & Intermediate CSS

I am currently working on a Udemy Course by Dr. Angela, called "The complete 2022 Web Development Bootcamp".

I am still pretty much at the beginning, having completed Introduction to HTML & Intermediate HTML.

Right now, i'm in the Middle of the Introduction to CSS - today I have completed: - external CSS - How to debug CSS Code I have also played around and gotten a bit familiar with the Chrome Developer Tools & I managed to solve both Debugging Exercises which were part of the Course Material!

Ideally, I want to finish the Introduction tomorrow, so I can move to the next section & thus the next bunch of lessons on Intermediate CSS.

While i have never been one of the cool kids who whipped up crazy cool Tumblr Themes all by themselves I still used some HTML back then as well, so CSS and HTML come to me quite naturally so far - with some Trial & Error and reading Documentation I usually get by well.

Fingers crossed it will remain this way! ( . u . )

how NOT to rip an embedded vimeo video

like me, a lot of you out there are baby programmers. therefore, it's underandable that many of us will be poking around on websites trying to learn more from their source code. it's never a good idea to download a video without permisson from the author, which is why many video hosting platforms like vimeo make it more difficult to do so. for someone with a basic understanding of CSS and HTML, though, it isn't as hard as you think, which is why I've put together this little guide so you know exactly what NOT to do

if you want to AVOID downloading a video embedded in a website and hosted on vimeo, DO NOT:

1. open up the webpage

2. open up the webpage inspector (either via right click or CTRL + SHIFT + i)

3. click the "Network" tab inside the inspector

4. refresh the page and play the video (just enough to get it started)

5. in the "Filter" box, type "player"

6. snoop around for the right file. the one to AVOID is either the one that is a nine digit number or the one that says "confic?autopause."

7. find the "video" object in the code

8. find the "embed_code" element within the "video" object and copy-paste the src link into the search bar of a new tab

9. find the <script> tag containing something like "function(document, player)" where you will find a list of configurations and settings for different video qualities

10. choose your preferred video quality and find the associated https:// link ending in ".mp4"

11. open that link in a new tab

12. right click on the video, choose "save as..." and choose "mp4"

as you can see, it's not too hard, so you have to be careful! if you need it, here’s a video that explains all the steps so you know what NOT to avoid. now you can go forth and responsibly AVOID downloading your favorite videos ;)
