I buy mine through Aliexpress. Usually in sets of 5. Lots of things available there if you are willing to wait a few weeks for delivery.

In Your opinion guys it is possible to switch from a IT helpdesk job to a web developer job?
Right now I am self studying programming and I have the chance to land a entry level helpdesk job that doesn't require any prior experience in the field
I wouldn't do this helpdesk job forever so I was wondering if I could switch after a certain time when my programming skills will be better to a junior web dev job
Do recruiters consider a IT helpdesk job a bad thing for those who want to become web developers? I am asking because these helpdesk jobs obviously have nothing to do with coding at the end of the day...

I've been writing a lot of C++ lately.
Boy, after all the new features and standards (C++0x, C++11, C++14) this language has become a real mess. C+11 feels like a new language that's more like C#, with automatic type deduction and "smart pointers", etc.
I also know straight C, Python, some Java. I've been thinking about learning a "modern" systems programming language. I know some guys who swear by Rust, and it looks seriously interesting; most of the speed of C++ without the awful semantics and legacy bullshit.

Can anybody recommend a good book, YouTube channel, website or blog (like MMM for investing/retirement) for a newbie looking to learn more about programming?
I'm an English teacher here in Kiev but I'm looking to get involved with local IT companies and coders who want more technical English lessons specific to their work. Thanks

I would recommend two books that I absolutely love. One is a popular one that will probably won't be surprising. This is "Code Complete 2" by Steve McConnell. I like this book because it is very reader friendly, with helpful diagrams. The other book, which is helping me find other creative (painting and screenwriting) and meditative (yoga and martial arts) outlets that help me solve problems much more elegantly is "Pragmatic Thinking & Learning: Refactor Your Wetware" by Andy Hunt.

Pragmatic Programmer is a good book to read. Will teach you proper Software Development.
