Which is easy to learn Java or C++?

When starting a programming journey, one of the most common questions among beginners is: “Should I learn Java or C++?” Both are powerful, object-oriented programming languages used in a wide range of applications—from mobile apps and desktop software to system-level tools and enterprise systems.

While both have their merits, they differ significantly in terms of complexity, syntax, memory management, and learning curve. This article provides a detailed comparison, with an emphasis on Java, to help you decide which language is easier to learn and why many beginners gravitate toward Java.

Overview of Java and C++

Java is a high-level, object-oriented language developed by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle). It emphasizes portability, safety, and ease of development. Java applications run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which allows "write once, run anywhere" capability.

C++, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of C, is a mid-level language. It supports both procedural and object-oriented programming. C++ gives programmers fine-grained control over memory and system resources, making it ideal for performance-critical applications.

Syntax and Readability

1. Java: Cleaner and Simpler

Java was designed with simplicity and readability in mind. It avoids complex features like pointers and manual memory management. Java code tends to be easier to understand for beginners due to its structured and minimalistic syntax.

 C++: Verbose and Complex

C++ supports multiple paradigms and has features like pointers, multiple inheritance, operator overloading, and templates. While powerful, these features can confuse new learners.

Verdict: Java is easier to read and write, especially for beginners.

2. Memory Management

 Java: Automatic Garbage Collection

Java handles memory allocation and deallocation automatically through Garbage Collection (GC). This reduces the chance of memory leaks or segmentation faults, which are common issues in C++.

 C++: Manual Memory Management

C++ requires manual allocation and deallocation of memory using new and delete. Improper memory handling can lead to bugs, crashes, and security vulnerabilities.

Verdict: Java is easier to manage in terms of memory and safety.

3. Compilation and Portability

 Java: Platform Independent

Java code is compiled into bytecode, which runs on the JVM. This makes Java programs platform-independent—you can run the same program on Windows, Linux, or macOS without changes.

 C++: Platform Dependent

C++ code is compiled into native machine code. While this leads to faster performance, it also means that C++ programs are platform-specific unless specially configured for portability.

Verdict: Java wins for portability and ease of deployment.

4. Error Handling and Debugging

Java: Strong Exception Handling

Java has a robust exception handling mechanism that encourages clean code and effective debugging. Errors are handled using try-catch blocks and specific exception classes.

 C++: Less Emphasis on Exceptions

While C++ does support exceptions, many older C++ projects use return codes instead of proper exception handling, making debugging harder and error-prone.

Verdict: Java provides a more consistent and beginner-friendly approach to handling errors.

5. Use Cases and Industry Demand

 Java: Enterprise and Android Development

Java is the backbone of enterprise applications, Android development, financial systems, and web platforms. It's in high demand globally and has a mature ecosystem with frameworks like Spring, Hibernate, and Maven.

 C++: Systems and Game Programming

C++ is preferred in areas requiring high performance, such as game engines, real-time systems, embedded systems, and operating systems.

Verdict: For beginners interested in app development, Java offers a more direct career path.

6. Community and Learning Resources

 Java: Vast Community Support

Java has an enormous community of developers, tons of tutorials, interactive platforms, and official documentation. It is also widely taught in universities.

 C++: Steeper Learning Curve

C++ resources are available but often assume some level of programming experience. The learning path can be less structured for newcomers.

Verdict: Java offers a more supportive ecosystem for new learners.

Conclusion

When comparing Java and C++ through the lens of beginner-friendliness, Java stands out as the easier language to learn. Its simplified syntax, automatic memory management, strong error handling, and platform independence make it more accessible for those new to programming.

That said, C++ remains an incredibly powerful tool, especially in performance-critical applications. However, starting with Java can provide a smoother entry into the world of programming, and later transitioning to C++ becomes easier once the foundational concepts are clear.

 Final Recommendation

If your goal is to build Android apps, web services, or enterprise software, Java is the better starting point. It’s structured, readable, and supported by a vibrant community.

If you're interested in system programming, game development, or working close to the hardware, you may eventually need to learn C++, but starting with Java will give you a solid foundation to grow from.

The Making of Derelict

I made a videogame!

So…

That’s pretty neat.

The original plan was to spend two weeks on the bulk of the work, then to spend two more weeks beta testing, polishing, and releasing.

It took me three months, which...well, oops. Regardless, I learned a lot along the way and I’m happy with the end result, so allow me to take you on a journey behind the scenes of Derelict: Deep Space Salvage.

All good games start with a concept, a central idea, a defining through-line upon which the whole of the experience is balanced. More 𝒸𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝓋𝑒 developers usually don’t make that idea the title of their game, but I don’t want to be a creative developer, I want to be a good one.

In this case, I wanted to make a game about plundering the leftovers of those too stupid, or simply not fortunate enough, to survive the dangers of the infinite, starlit expanses.

Easy, just make it then, right?

Wrong! What do you think I am, a swiss army knife with legs? No, my friend, first thing’s first: skill set! What can I actually do on my own? If it wasn’t obvious, I’m a writer first and foremost (cough, ahem, cough). I can do a little programming too, a little java, a little C#, a little HTML.

Therefore my decision became simple as dirt: A text-adventure game needs no audio, minimal graphics, only basic programming, and a shitload of writing. (I used Twine, for those interested)

That’s not to say I haven’t considered adding some pizzazz. Some snappy ear-candy for when the player clicks a button might be nice, a little ethereal, industrial ambience could really sell the lost-in-space vibe, and I did whip up a sorta-lazy cover image, something to get the job done. Still, you have to choose your battles.

That’s actually the most important lesson, by the way. I ran two months overtime because I could afford to, and I focused on polishing the narrative experience because that was the heart of what makes Derelict fun. I even added achievements to the game…

…because that gives the player a good reason to play again and try to new things, to see more of the writing that I came up with and experience the game more fully. That was worth the extra time because it contributes to the primary experience, however subtly.

All the extra stuff I wanted to do but didn’t get to is now in a list for future consideration. Maybe I’ll come back and update Derelict, maybe I’ll make a sequel, maybe I’ll just try to add this stuff to some future project. What’s important is that I made something with intention, and that it got done.

Speaking of which, you can go play it yourself right now, for free, on my Itch.

Hell, you could even leave a review if you like it.

During the 1960s, as computer programming increasingly came to be regarded as a science, more and more men flooded into what had previously been a field dominated by women. Many of these men fancied themselves to be a cut above the programmers who came before, and they often perceived COBOL as inferior and unattractive, in part because it did not require abstruse knowledge of underlying computer hardware or a computer science qualification. Arguments about which languages and programming techniques were “best” were part of the field’s growing pains as new practitioners tried to prove their worth and professionalize what had been seen until the 1960s as rote, unintellectual, feminized work. Consciously or not, the last thing many male computer scientists entering the field wanted was to make the field easier to enter or code easier to read, which might undermine their claims to professional and “scientific” expertise.

[...]

In a broader sense, hating COBOL was—and is—part of a struggle between consolidating and protecting computer programmers’ professional prestige on the one hand, and making programming less opaque and more accessible on the other. There’s an old joke among programmers: “If it was hard to write, it should be hard to read.” In other words, if your code is easy to understand, maybe you and your skills aren’t all that unique or valuable. If management thinks the tools you use and the code you write could be easily learned by anyone, you are eminently replaceable.

The fear of this existential threat to computing expertise has become so ingrained in the field that many people don’t even see the preference for complex languages for what it is: an attempt to protect one’s status by favoring tools that gate-keep rather than those that assist newcomers. As one contemporary programmer, who works mainly in C++ and Java at IBM, told me, “Every new programming language that comes out that makes things simpler in some way is usually made fun of by some contingent of existing programmers as making programming too easy—or they say it’s not a ‘real language.’” Because Java, for example, included automatic memory management, it was seen as a less robust language, and the people who programmed in it were sometimes considered inferior programmers. “It's been going on forever,” said this programmer, who has been working in the field for close to thirty years. “It's about gatekeeping, and keeping one’s prestige and importance in the face of technological advancements that make it easier to be replaced by new people with easier to use tools.” Gatekeeping is not only done by people and institutions; it’s written into programming languages themselves.

So I made an app for PROTO. Written in Kotlin and runs on Android.

Next, I want to upgrade it with a controller mode. It should work so so I simply plug a wired xbox controller into my phone with a USB OTG adaptor… and bam, the phone does all the complex wireless communication and is a battery. Meaning that besides the controller, you only need the app and… any phone. Which anyone is rather likely to have Done.

Now THAT is convenient!

( Warning, the rest of the post turned into... a few rants. ) Why Android? Well I dislike Android less than IOS

So it is it better to be crawling in front of the alter of "We are making the apocalypse happen" Google than "5 Chinese child workers died while you read this" Apple?

Not much…

I really should which over to a better open source Linux distribution… But I do not have the willpower to research which one... So on Android I stay.

Kotlin is meant to be "Java, but better/more modern/More functional programming style" (Everyone realized a few years back that the 100% Object oriented programming paradigme is stupid as hell. And we already knew that about the functional programming paradigme. The best is a mix of everything, each used when it is the best option.) And for the most part, it succeeds. Java/Kotlin compiles its code down to "bytecode", which is essentially assembler but for the Java virtual machine. The virtual machine then runs the program. Like how javascript have the browser run it instead of compiling it to the specific machine your want it to run on… It makes them easy to port…

Except in the case of Kotlin on Android... there is not a snowflakes chance in hell that you can take your entire codebase and just run it on another linux distribution, Windows or IOS…

So... you do it for the performance right? The upside of compiling directly to the machine is that it does not waste power on middle management layers… This is why C and C++ are so fast!

Except… Android is… Clunky… It relies on design ideas that require EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM AND APP ON YOUR PHONE to behave nicely (Lots of "This system only works if every single app uses it sparingly and do not screw each-other over" paradigms .). And many distributions from Motorola like mine for example comes with software YOUR ARE NOT ALLOWED TO UNINSTALL... meaning that software on your phone is ALWAYS behaving badly. Because not a single person actually owns an Android phone. You own a brick of electronics that is worthless without its OS, and google does not sell that to you or even gift it to you. You are renting it for free, forever. Same with Motorola which added a few extra modifications onto Googles Android and then gave it to me.

That way, google does not have to give any rights to its costumers. So I cannot completely control what my phone does. Because it is not my phone. It is Googles phone.

That I am allowed to use. By the good graces of our corporate god emperors

"Moose stares blankly into space trying to stop being permanently angry at hoe everyone is choosing to run the world"

… Ok that turned dark… Anywho. TLDR There is a better option for 95% of apps (Which is "A GUI that interfaces with a database") "Just write a single HTML document with internal CSS and Javascript" Usually simpler, MUCH easier and smaller… And now your app works on any computer with a browser. Meaning all of them…

I made a GUI for my parents recently that works exactly like that. Soo this post:

It was frankly a mistake of me to learn Kotlin… Even more so since It is a… awful language… Clearly good ideas then ruined by marketing department people yelling "SUPPORT EVERYTHING! AND USE ALL THE BUZZWORD TECHNOLOGY! Like… If your language FORCES you to use exceptions for normal runtime behavior "Stares at CancellationException"... dear god that is horrible...

Made EVEN WORSE by being a really complicated way to re-invent the GOTO expression… You know... The thing every programmer is taught will eat your feet if you ever think about using it because it is SO dangerous, and SO bad form to use it? Yeah. It is that, hidden is a COMPLEATLY WRONG WAY to use exceptions…

goodie… I swear to Christ, every page or two of my Kotlin notes have me ranting how I learned how something works, and that it is terrible... Blaaa. But anyway now that I know it, I try to keep it fresh in my mind and use it from time to time. Might as well. It IS possible to run certain things more effective than a web page, and you can work much more directly with the file system. It is... hard-ish to get a webpage to "load" a file automatically... But believe me, it is good that this is the case.

Anywho. How does the app work and what is the next version going to do?

PROTO is meant to be a platform I test OTHER systems on, so he is optimized for simplicity. So how you control him is sending a HTTP 1.1 message of type Text/Plain… (This is a VERY fancy sounding way of saying "A string" in network speak). The string is 6 comma separated numbers. Linear movement XYZ and angular movement XYZ.

The app is simply 5 buttons that each sends a HTTP PUT request with fixed values. Specifically 0.5/-0.5 meter/second linear (Drive back or forward) 0.2/-0.2 radians/second angular (Turn right or turn left) Or all 0 for stop

(Yes, I just formatted normal text as code to make it more readable... I think I might be more infected by programming so much than I thought...)

Aaaaaanywho. That must be enough ranting. Time to make the app

Experience with rust thus far

Rust is great! I've been working with it off and on for around a year and change now, and I have no complaints.

It's a very... sane language. At no point have I looked at a language feature and thought "wow that's a hack", which has been my experience with almost every other imperative language to that point. (Java, C, C#, JavaScript, Python, etc.) There are a few features I think it's currently lacking, but most of them are present in the nightly branch. (I'm a big fan of let_chains and const_fn_floating_point_arithmetic, among others.)

Library support via Cargo is great, no complaints, and I love how easy doc comments are to write, it makes for an almost Elisp level of good documentation.

I've written a few non-trivial applications, like a breakout clone and a flappy bird-esque thing, and while I ditched good practices for the sake of implementation efficiency (both projects were more about learning libraries than the final product) Rust's nature makes it really easy to refactor from copy-paste spaghetti hell into clean, encapsulated, maintainable code.

I also love how anal-retentive the compiler is. Again, Rust is a very sane language. I do not want to be writing Raku, where there are a thousand "basically correct" ways to do the same thing. I want constraints, and I want them strict. I want to be able to express to the compiler not just what I want a piece of code to do, but what I don't want it to do as well. We're all human! We're gonna mess up! I want it to be easy to tell that I've messed up! (Looking at you, python, with your assignment equals declaration bullshit. Typoing a variable name should not be permitted.)

Overall it's just great. When it comes to writing applications I'd pick no other language. (Except maybe D. Too bad nobody supports D...)

Navigating the Complex World of Mobile App Development

In today’s tech-driven world, mobile apps have become a cornerstone of how we connect, work, and play. Whether you’re launching a startup or enhancing an established business, building a mobile app can be a game-changing move. One of the most important decisions you’ll face is choosing the right technology stack. The tech stack you pick will directly influence your app’s performance, scalability, and overall user experience.

What Exactly Is a Tech Stack?

A tech stack is essentially the set of tools, programming languages, and frameworks you use to build your app. For mobile apps, the stack typically consists of three main components:

Front-End: This is what users see and interact with — the app’s interface.

Back-End: This is the engine under the hood — handling data storage, processing, and integrations.

Platform: The operating system your app is built for, like iOS, Android, or both.

Key Considerations When Picking a Tech Stack

Let’s dive into the options and what you should think about when deciding which tools to use.

Platform Options

Native Development

Languages:

iOS: Swift or Objective-C

Android: Kotlin or Java

Pros:

Best-in-class performance.

Full access to device features like cameras, sensors, and GPS.

Cons:

Higher costs.

Longer development time if building for both iOS and Android.

2. Cross-Platform Development

Frameworks:

React Native (JavaScript and React)

Flutter (Dart)

Xamarin (C#)

Pros:

Faster development.

Reusable code for both iOS and Android.

Generally lower costs.

Cons:

Slightly lower performance compared to native apps.

Limited access to some advanced native features.

3. Hybrid Development

Tools:

Ionic (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)

PhoneGap/Cordova (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)

Pros:

Easy to learn and work with if you’re familiar with web development.

Leverages standard web technologies.

Cons:

Performance is not as strong as native or well-optimized cross-platform apps.

User experience can feel less “native.”

How to Make the Best Choice for Your App

Your decision will depend on several factors. Here are some key points to consider:

App Complexity:

For simple apps, cross-platform frameworks like React Native or Flutter are great choices.

For feature-heavy or complex apps, native development might be the way to go.

Time to Market:

If you’re on a tight schedule, cross-platform tools can speed up the process.

Budget:

Native development can be pricey since you’ll likely need separate teams for iOS and Android.

Cross-platform and hybrid options are usually more cost-effective.

Performance Needs:

Native apps deliver the best performance, but modern cross-platform frameworks have come a long way and can handle most needs efficiently.

Team Expertise:

Leverage the skills your team already has. If they’re experienced in JavaScript, for example, React Native might be a natural fit.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right tech stack is a pivotal step in mobile app development. It’s about finding the perfect balance between your project’s requirements, your budget, and your team’s expertise. By weighing factors like app complexity, performance, and cost, you can make a well-informed choice that sets your app up for success. Remember, a solid tech stack is the foundation of a scalable, user-friendly, and high-quality app.

Whether you are a newcomer taking your first steps into the world of programming or an experienced developer seeking to broaden your skillset, acquiring a profound understanding of Java's fundamentals is an essential stride forward. In this comprehensive and meticulously crafted guide, we embark on a journey to delve deep into the core concepts of Java programming. This knowledge will not only serve as a strong foundation but also empower you to navigate the dynamic and ever-evolving domain of software development with confidence.

Java's popularity has endured for decades, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Its ability to adapt to the ever-shifting demands of the software industry, coupled with its cross-platform compatibility, has made it a mainstay for both beginners and seasoned professionals. Whether you aspire to develop web applications, mobile apps, or enterprise-grade software solutions, Java offers a versatile platform to turn your coding dreams into reality.

1. Syntax: The Building Blocks of Java

Java's syntax is often praised for its readability and similarity to other programming languages like C++ and C#. This makes it relatively easy to learn, especially if you have experience with these languages. The key feature of Java's syntax is the use of curly braces {} to define blocks of code. These braces play a fundamental role in structuring Java programs, making it essential to grasp their usage.

2. Objects and Classes: Embracing Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

Java is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language, which means it revolves around the concepts of objects and classes. In Java, everything is treated as an object, and classes serve as blueprints for creating these objects. A class defines both the properties (fields) and behaviors (methods) of an object. Understanding the principles of OOP is vital for building well-structured and modular Java applications.

3. Data Types: The Foundation of Variables and Data Manipulation

Java supports a variety of data types, categorized into primitive data types (e.g., int, double, char) and reference data types (e.g., objects, arrays). Primitive data types represent basic values, while reference data types refer to objects created from classes. Grasping these data types is essential for declaring variables and manipulating data in your Java programs.

4. Control Flow: Directing the Flow of Your Program

Java provides an array of control flow statements that dictate the execution flow of your program. These include conditional statements (such as if-else and switch), looping statements (including for, while, and do-while), and branching statements (like break, continue, and return). Mastery of these control flow structures is crucial for creating efficient and logic-driven Java applications.

5. Inheritance: Building on Existing Foundations

Inheritance is a core concept in Java that enables you to create new classes based on existing ones. By inheriting the properties and behaviors of a parent class, you can promote code reusability and establish a more organized code structure. Inheritance is a powerful tool for designing extensible and scalable Java applications.

6. Polymorphism: Achieving Flexibility and Extensibility

Polymorphism is another hallmark of Java's object-oriented approach. It enables objects of various classes to be handled as though they were members of a single superclass. This flexibility in code design allows you to create more versatile and extensible applications. Understanding polymorphism is essential for leveraging the full potential of Java's object-oriented capabilities.

7. Exception Handling: Managing Errors Gracefully

Java boasts a robust exception-handling mechanism to deal with runtime errors. By using try-catch blocks, you can gracefully handle exceptions, ensuring that your program doesn't crash unexpectedly. Effective exception handling is a key aspect of writing robust and reliable Java code.

8. Packages and Libraries: Harnessing the Power of Java's Ecosystem

Java offers a vast standard library known as the Java Standard Library or Java API. Additionally, it allows you to organize your code into packages for better organization and modularity. Leveraging these packages and libraries is essential for streamlining your development process and tapping into a wealth of pre-built functionality.

9. Memory Management: The Art of Garbage Collection

Java employs a unique feature called garbage collection to automatically manage memory. This process helps prevent memory leaks and ensures efficient memory usage in your Java applications. Understanding how garbage collection works is crucial for maintaining the performance and stability of your programs.

10. Multithreading: Building Responsive and Scalable Applications

Java's support for multithreading allows you to execute multiple threads concurrently. Threads are smaller units of a process that can run independently, making it possible to build responsive and scalable applications. Mastering multithreading is essential for developing high-performance Java software, particularly in today's world of parallel computing.

Learning Java opens doors to a wide range of career opportunities in software development and information technology. Whether you're interested in building web applications, mobile apps, or enterprise solutions, Java's versatility makes it a valuable skill.

If you're looking to embark on your Java programming journey or enhance your existing skills, consider exploring courses and training programs offered by reputable institutions like ACTE Technologies. They provide comprehensive learning experiences and expert guidance to help you master Java and advance your career in this exciting field.

In conclusion, Java's robust features and wide-ranging applications make it a compelling choice for developers worldwide.

back to c++, yippee!! i studied for a while yesterday on java, and have come down with something due to the stress of school starting + my mom picking something up from a business trip, so im going easy today and doing the for loop section from Sololearn. one notable thing learned was the ability to use continue and break as learned about from switch cases, which is pretty cool. i also did the section quiz, which was a culmination of the different conditional and loop sections, which i did pretty alright on! it was nice to see im retaining things from Sololearn well, as im still very early on in learning from learncpp.com and havent gotten to these sections yet

for( int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {

.....cout << i << endl;

Hi!! I follow your dsmp account and I'm a big fan of your tommygotchi game (it got me through a few plane rides which positively terrify me). I'm a programmer but unfamiliar with game development, and I'm curious as to how you got started/what software you use, if you're comfortable sharing. Thank you!!

Hello! i'm very happy to hear that something I've made has helped you out!

Technically I started out mindlessly following GameMaker 2004 tutorials on youtube when I was around 10 but really got into the meat of it with RPG Maker, and by pure will of wanting to make something, I ended up learning and using a bunch of software along the way.

I usually reccomend RPG Maker for starting out, but I think being a programmer could really put you in more intermediate software.

I used GameMaker 2 to make most of my games, It has a language similar to Java and C, but also has a lot of pre-made blocks for begginers, kinda like scratch!

Although! to make things even easier, I reccomend finding software thats solely dedicated to the type of game you want to make

Software like GameMaker, Unreal Engine, LÖVE, Godot (which is what im currently using) are very good when you want complete free will and control over your game, which is great if you want to combine genres or make something more complicated, with the downside that is very code heavy and you must make everything from zero.

But! If your vision is a type of game, say, Visual Novel, RPG horror, Fighting game, Point and click adventure, Text adventure, etc. Then using a software that specializes on that will make everything easier and faster, also, it's usually cheaper or free.

I reccomend searching up the community around a software, if it doesn't have one or noone says much about it thats a RED FLAG!! do not be fooled into buying something that will leave you unsatisfied!!

Also, most of what I named here are for 2D games, if you want to get into 3D, then that's usually more code heavy (and money heavy)

Something you can do to test out the software is making a simple already-made game, Like, Try a brick breaking game, space invaders,dress up games, that one petting game i made, something easy to see how the software works.

Specially reccomend to not start right away with the game of your dreams! gain experience by making smaller, simpler games first. You dont even have to publish them!

(GameMaker is a bit of a greedy bitch when it comes to Porting but u didnt hear that from me)

Ok this is long enough already, hope this helps!

C is an older programming language but still a good choice for beginners because it’s more “machine-level” and gives you the lowest-level control over computer hardware. It’s also the most common base for other languages, like C# and Ruby.

Java

Despite being not as beginner-friendly as Python, Java is a good programming language to start with. It's a general-purpose programming language with a versatile library and free online tutorials.

It's also a cross-platform language, which makes it suitable for mobile and desktop applications. It's the language of choice for Android development and used in a number of enterprise-level software applications.

C is one of the oldest languages and forms the basis for modern languages like Python, Java, and JavaScript. However, it has a low level of abstraction and requires that code is compiled (translated into machine-readable code) before it can be run. This can make it difficult for beginners to understand. Moreover, its syntax can be confusing. But, it's an excellent foundation for more advanced language learning.

Many people are interested in learning programming, but choosing the best language can be intimidating. Luckily, there are plenty of resources to help you get started. You can learn the basics of multiple languages with a coding boot camp, such as the Georgia Tech Coding Boot Camp, which offers a variety of courses including HTML, JavaScript, and jQuery.

Other popular languages include C, which is a general-purpose, compiled language that’s widely used in back-end software applications like web servers. Python is a versatile programming language that’s easy to learn for beginners and can be used in any application. Ruby is a dynamic, object-oriented language that’s commonly implemented using the Rails framework. Its concise syntax and convention-over-configuration approach makes it easier to build and deploy apps.

Perl

Perl is a high-level dynamic general-purpose scripting language. It is popular among system administrators for its text-processing capabilities, specifically its own in-built version of regular expressions. It is also used for web development and GUI programming.

Beginners can start learning the basics of the programming language by following the free online courses offered on Udemy. These courses begin with basic theory and then move on to specific aspects of the language. They include topics such as lists, arrays, and subroutines. They also cover how to handle errors in coding. Perl has a large community of developers, with over 230 local groups, mailing lists and support/discussion websites. It is also open source and supports more than 25,000 extension modules on CPAN. This flexibility makes it an ideal programming language for beginners.

HTML

Computer programming allows us to create the software and applications that make our lives easier, more entertaining, and more efficient. But deciding which language to learn can be a difficult choice for beginners, particularly when there are so many options available.

Programming languages may seem different on the surface, but they all have similar structures and features. This means that whichever language you choose to learn, you’ll be learning important coding concepts that will be applicable to any other languages you might decide to explore later on.

Before deciding which programming language to learn, it’s important to consider your goals and current skill level. Once you’ve identified your goals, it’s easy to narrow down your options and find the best programming language for beginners.

Gorillas and Computing

Don’t remember when the last update was.

I think I mentioned I have to put off school till next year because of money reasons?

Either way, to reiterate then for my own sake, I ended up joining that CS50x class Harvard is offering for free online so I have something to study/do in the meantime until Spring 2024.

I’m realizing how good it was that I started with Java on my own back in April (I only jumped into CS50 in the middle of this month of June) because boy, coming in COLD to these sort of subjects is no easy or laughing matter. I’ve normally not submersed myself in such technical fields before, considering my artist degree background. Which, in and of itself is kind of funny because I don’t consider myself the most creative artsy person there was. Now I can legally blame the autism for having me most often side with logic and technicality and what have you, even if I don’t seem that way on the outside.

But still, rolling back a bit, immersing yourself in this totally different world is definitely not something I am used to.

The first week was making a program with Scratch, a bit difficult at first until I started to get the hang of things. Project went really well, made a cute lil’ shooty game.

Second week introduced us to programming in C. And getting used to the syntax and all its little quirks ‘ stuff.

This week we’re going over arrays, which was about where I stopped in Java so from this point on I’ll be going into it blindly.

On arrays, yes I do understand what they are and how they’re used, but I’m finding that typing out parameters and what it is I want to happen in specific loops and such- that’s proving to be the real kicker. Was really struggling with a project yesterday and ultimately gave up and had to look at the answers. Felt real bad about it, even though I’ve only been doing this for 2 months. Not a lot of time at all.

I get a bit disillusioned when I read people who are much younger than me mastering this stuff (allegedly) in like 6 months to a year, there’s just no way that’s possible. There’s SO much stuff to learn and practice, like... Unless they’re up for 14+ hours a day doing ONLY coding and not having a life (not that I am but I believe in this thing called work-life balance) then maybe I can see them being farther than me in about a year’s span or some months.

But, what they don’t have is job experience. I do. I have to remember that all this memorization and stuff I need to do for school, while yes it will help at a job, a job doesn’t give a hoot how you did something as long as it’s done correctly and well enough. Or at least it was that way at my last job, I suspect it can’t be much different in other places honestly.

Moving back to this project I felt I failed on, anyway, studied it as much as I could until I understand what exactly the code was doing, because I figured that would be much better than me copying the answer and then NOT understanding it. Fast forward to today, another project with some similar characteristics that they want.

Actually sat down and wrote out pseudocode of what I wanted the program to do which helped me organize my thoughts. I suppose it’s not unusual to kind of know what you want in your head initially. You just don’t sort out all the particulars and such until you’re actually writing the code itself. Anyway, I wrote that out, then got started implementing what I believed the program would need. Things got WAY too complicated too quickly but because I built enough to see visually for myself, I felt more comfortable googling how to do certain things, rather than look at the Discord and see what everyone else was doing.

Even then, implementing google answers doesn’t mean things are automatically going to work. So that forced me to go over the code some more and really start working on all the separate pieces one by one. Slowly things began to click into place and I understood faster what it was I was doing, or what I had left to do.

I can happily say I completed the project and got everything working as intended. Printed it out on paper and stuck it in my notebook after writing many many notes explaining what each thing does for my own sake. But, looking at it zoomed out now... The code looks so simple and short. I really didn’t need to over-complicate things in the beginning like I did (too bad I didn’t save that first iteration). That’s a habit I tend to have. I make things harder than they need to be at first because I don’t really understand something or what I’m doing. But, once I get it, then things go a lot smoother.

Everyone’s probably like that though with some things! Just a lil’ observation I had about myself is all. Thinking back to my first days as a graphic designer and how they were essentially the same. It would take me hours to do something in a very convoluted way, but only a year or two later I was zooming along. Knew all the shortcuts, knew easier ways to do things.

I can’t wait till I start having moments like that with this programming stuff. Yes I know you’re never truly finished learning, but it’ll be soooo nice when I hit that point to where I can think and translate what I want onto the page a lot faster. And it’ll be much more efficient.

That’s about it for now. June’s already over. This year is halfway over. We don’t have OFMD season 2, I have a trip to Dallas in July I’m super excited for, and I can study and exist at a mostly leisurely pace right now. I’ll enjoy it while I can :)

....

Already getting college nightmares and the like anyhow. Eughhh.
