How to have a portable programming workspace?

Jay — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 20:12:17 +0000

Hello Dev,
In a day, I might change computer 3 or more times. I'm working at school and sometimes they aren't even my machines. That makes it really difficult to work on a project with a lot of dependancies, like python or anything like that. So how can I have a portable workspace with everything I need and a linux os?

Thanks

Overwhelmed and lost, how to code in 2019?

I've been trying to code for the last 2 years. I got to say that it was more of a hobby then a full time commitment as I'm still in high school, but I'm completely lost. Best case scenario, I would like to be able to work as a developer this next summer as a part job. My problem is that I feel like I don't even know how to code, I know Python syntax, HTML, CSS, C#, Git, but I'm overwhelmed by all the libraries and frameworks and this and that. It feels like all I know is useless to create something. I'd want to create a website, but what do I use? Django, React or/and Node.js? Oh I could try using that WordPress thingy I keep hearing about, hell it's something TOTALLY different. I "know" how to code, but I can't find a way through all these resources, it's overwhelming.

From this, I have a question: How to "learn to" code in 2019?

This is a rant and a cry for help, SOS.

Sincerely yours, Jay

Hey guys! I don't have any books left to read and I'm open to any suggestions. Tech related or not, I would read anything.
