I like the blog idea coz I wannabe a writer and I have programming experience from my physics degree so, I need to learn a few topics about web designing (coz my programming experience is in Python and skewed towards scientific uses).
Another classy one is building an automation for some website you have to use. For example, I have a script to download lectures from my university to the right local directories. One could a) reverse-engineer their API if they have one or b) use a webdriver like Puppeteer or Selenium.
here's a tip to beginners: find something you have actual interest in making, don't spend hours trying to look for project ideas online it's not as enjoyable when you're making someone else's ideas
Writing a program that can be used to hide zip files inside jpg files is very easy. Its one of the best programs I built as a beginner and one that I still use.
I say use Electron. Get stuck, get pissed, give up temporarily, come back and either A) keep going or B) discard Electron and look for a better solution. This is probably one of the most important skills for a software developer: the ability to recognize when something is not working and to move on to something better. If you find yourself saying "there has got to be a better way," either there already is, or depending in how stubborn you are, you're about to invent it.
Well there's Tauri but it's harder because it's Rust and new so doesn't have API robustness like Electron. I want to make an Electron/Tauri app. But I am just too damn lazy.
Ironically, there's a hackernews API that people often use to try out new JS frameworks. You could do the same if you don't feel up to creating a blog yet!
I'm working on a hand tracking system for free for gestures to be registered as commands, so at the end I can use my phone and my laptop to create a free to use vr, soon gonna post it on my channel
Making a shell script as a beginner, I'm starting to progress well....... It sounded stupid, but hey this is only thing that I can Access because I don't have desktop but using Termux on android.. it can proot Linux Distro too.
Making a shell script is pretty cool. You could do a lot with it. Like scraping youtube and playing with mpv in one line. Or automating your arch install and rice.
@@ParaPsychic well yeah, sorta, I'm running MediaTek cpu with hellish GPU (PowerVR) that has poor support over mpv... But yeah, don't worry I'm making an apt for Termux that runs with Dialog (I could choose whiptail but meh, maybe next time). sound stupid, but it's pretty cool concept. And I'm sorta in 20% complete
For blog site or any website.. Use nodejs with firebase.. free deployments and protected by google.. Jquery and bootstrap for quick front end design. Firebase Real-time database for quick easy CRUD operations.. Firebase storage for video and image storage. Firebase cloud functions for severless server needs like payments with stripe, image compression, and more.. Firebase hosting for quick deployments.
Hey Lewis, I am a begineer level programmer, i was actually thinking of making a blog, can you please recommend me a platform/framework where I can host my portfolio/blog. I have seen bunch of options such as github pages, netlify, forking some portfolio repositories. Couldn't decide what to choose.
I was thinking to build my own blog and connect that blog to multiple Blog API. So I would have just one single SoT (my blog) that feed all other blogs... So the question which Blog providers have a flexible API to play around?
Wait... Are websites free to make/maintain? I want one but sometimes when I go to some RUclipsrs/Writers website it always says something like the domain isn't working
Hey, I've been learning to code on a few courses, but I was to try building something of my own, but I don't know where to actually build it, like do I need a platform or something? Where do I write the code. I've checked in google and nothing helps maybe am not asking the right question.

My friend and I are both in 7th grade. He wants to be a game dev. My friend isn’t very advanced in code, so he decided he wants to take coding next year. Edit: I want to be an anime creator. The main point is, what advice should I five my friend?
@@mightyjb3 look for a game engine (eg unity, unreal) to help get started on learning game dev. Just start by making basic games like moving a cube to get used to coding and using the game engine. Then just continue making whatever you think and experimenting
Look at Jacob Sorber and like the hardest blink example for arduino on YT. It will teach you embedded programming. I’ve done it and it’s not for everyone but I thought it was awesome

i just checked the comments as soon as i heard that lol
😂😂😂
Lmao

As a professional coder I have to say - those projects can really teach you something ;)
A todo app is also a really good idea to buld for beginners
You know Mr Lewis, these shorts of yours are so much more useful than huge 10hr videos.
This channel is a gold mine, with great content
I like the blog idea coz I wannabe a writer and I have programming experience from my physics degree so, I need to learn a few topics about web designing (coz my programming experience is in Python and skewed towards scientific uses).
I would recommend just using something like Ghost so you can use a theme :) that way you dont have to worry about the web design portion.
Did you ever get a blog setup?
Besides teaching me a lot about coding, these projects actually helped me get hired at Los Alamos National Laboratory! Thank you so much!
Congrats

Ok, this has me inspired to build a blog!
Interesting ideas! :) love it

it's not as enjoyable when you're making someone else's ideas

Amazing I’m definitely going to try this out.
One of the first projects I did when I was learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript was build a calculator
Man i love the way u think
Thanks very much for the ideas
Reading hackernews I noticed that many software engineers maintain personal blogs. I will wait to acquire technical knowledge to create my own blog.
Ironically, there's a hackernews API that people often use to try out new JS frameworks. You could do the same if you don't feel up to creating a blog yet!
Nice idea's definitely will try them out
You are a legend !
a fun and quick program i created was a program that lets you create and run your own surveys and save the users response
Just wrote a password generator in java that was probably more complex and feature rich than it needed to be but it was fun!
My first thought was about API wrappers. Create a library that wraps someone's API into a bunch of functions.
Can you define what this means for me please? Sorry
I decided to make a public game engine in javascript with webgl and a lot of javascript
Hey man, I like your channel. Do you have a video on how I can go making my own blog? Or at least a recommendation?
Check out my latest video :) "Best beginner project" I give a little insight on it
@@CodingWithLewis thanks! also I love your videos where you point out nice repos to learn from.
Thanks for sharing.
wow this is actually so helpful 👏
Thank you 🥺🥺

Reddit API... 😅
Reddit api is still free , but if you use too much Api usage then you get charged
Well my first own project that I still sorta maintain is an text converter. Now it has a lot more things that can be done with it.
Can you tell me more about it? I've gotten kinda curious '^'
Currently working on a socket chatroom in python. This is for my school though so im just adding new stuff now and then.
i don’t know how to code a single line of code.
but i can make reddit bots. it’s easy af.
I could build an electron desktop music player. How about I get started with that soon, because I really want to make a desktop app.
how can I make a website with code and not any developing website?
Ye the 🐐 no 🧢
I have one idea but won't be able to make it fore a while . My idea is a Trash Talking GPS .

"Okay then, I'll make my blog using C language. They don't tell me C can't do it, right?"
you can compile the code to web assembly to make it work lmao. Maybe it would be fun idk C is the most fun to use language imo
Its not a big Deal but i simulated the monty hall Problem. It was fun!
well the second project aged quickly

beginner project ideas for JAVA please!!!!!!
I'am working on LunarOS
i think a chat app is good idea too
Think I’ll start with a music player
JavaScript and electron
Please don't
Wait... Are websites free to make/maintain? I want one but sometimes when I go to some RUclipsrs/Writers website it always says something like the domain isn't working
Your talking about Web Dev rn
I tried the music player with electron,
Just don't 😭😭
Guy why do you use electron

Reddit has an API that you are allowed to use for free 🙃
I don't really know what I can post on a blog
What program can you use to build your own blog ?.
Reddit has an api that you can use for free

Great video man! Keep it up!
Can you make a video about web dev projects? Like react projects. Really appreciated!

Anyone learning Go and wants to build portfolio website?
Python will help to built those?

How about making a MMO Game?
For a beginner 😂
Dictionary apis mostly are not free tho :/
Electron is a big no no lmao. the performance is horrible
Please do not use the electron.
What do you use instead?
@@nealiumj gtk, qt generally(both as framework, as they have bindings for different languages). If something simple, you could write tui(or CLI)
"Reddit has an API that you can use for free" that did not age well.
I use python not js
Programming language
Don't use JS/Electron, use C#/WPF. OMG way better.
This aged like milk 💀
"Beginner" LOL
Please dont encourage the use of electron. Thanks
What would you encourage?
@@nealiumj Terminal interfaces (TUIs), native GUIs. Basically anything over the web/javascript-based hyper-bloated and slow applications
@@PS3PCDJ Discord ain't that slow tho
@@namenotappropriate8756 Discord may not be slow due to optimization, but that doesnt change the fact that electron apps are bloated and often slow

Music player is for professional not beginner🤨
Don't use Electron.
Just make anything, if you’re bored to hell by the idea of making a reddit bot or a music player do something else
