How to start learning a coding?

[heretic-altias]

I don’t usually talk about coding on main, but I really think people would enjoy it more if they were taught what they could do as well as how to code. Like you can build anything. Anything at all you could possibly want. Programming can be a creative medium for the logically minded, and coding classes almost never actually embrace that.

I’ve built so many projects just from silly jokes. Made a whole joke text adventure game about being trapped in an elevator with some game characters. The discord bots I maintain to this day started as “haha what if [Game NPC] was in our server”. If an idea strikes me as fun I’ll code it, the same way an artist will draw a silly doodle or a writer will write a funny joke fic. It’s not just a get a job skill, you actively create things with code. So create! And have fun doing it!

I really think that’s the secret to truly enjoying programming. I love it, it’s a passion of mine. And it’s all because my first teacher set me free to create with it. He would let me expand on assignments however I wanted when I finished early and encouraged exploring what else I could do. If more people taught coding like that, I think there would be so many more who shared my passion for it.

if you can't get something on a computer to work know that you must first reach the depths of mental despair and anguish to appease the fickle computer trickster gods as penance for the hubris of humanity daring to assume we can understand the ways of the computer. and then you can try again and it'll work fine.

also like this is not a defence of parents but I think “and these are kids whose parents thought they were tech literate enough to sign them up for a programming class” is very silly because I think it’s pretty easy to forget how much of using a computer is a skill you need to learn. I remember when I was a camp counselor for a summer I had to teach kids how to use scissors and it was a wild experience because I forgot using scissors was a skill you needed to learn. and in the same way when teaching I was not aware I needed to teach students what file pathways were because it was an invisible assumed skill I wasn’t aware other people didn’t have, but I wasn’t like oh christ kids these days and their freaking ipads…. I just like taught them what a file pathway was lol. and then after getting used to windows file explorer after a couple weeks they knew what it was. ta da

Man, this is why I always hated math class.

Khan Academy gave me this easy (or so I thought) problem to solve:

"A factory makes toys that are sold for $10 a piece. The factory has 40 workers, and they each produce 25 toys a day. The factory is open 5 days a week. What is the total value of toys the factory produces in a day?"

I said to myself, okay...

10 times 40 times 25 equals 10,000. That means the factory produces $10,000 worth of value per WORKING day.

10,000 times 5 equals 50,000. And then there are two days per week (the weekend) when no value is produced. So, per week, the total value produced is still only $50,000.

And finally, there are seven days in a full week, so $50,000 divided by 7 equals roughly $7,142.86. That's the total value of toys produced per day. Not "per work day", but "per day", as it specifically says in the problem.

But what does the teacher say as he guides us through it? 10 times 40 times 25 equals 10,000, so the answer is 10,000.

That's it. The end.

He even acknowledges: "So, you might be thinking, 'Hey wait, we didn't use all the information! We didn't use the "five days per week" information!' And yeah, as it turns out, that was information we didn't need."

'As it turns out'?! Are you kidding me right now?! I carefully read the question, precisely calculated exactly what it was asking for, taking all of the provided information into account... and now you're saying I'm supposed to have somehow magically known to ignore one of those pieces of information in order to make it easier for myself?

Just admit that your problem is worded badly, dude. UGH this kind of shit drives me crazy. Why can't people use words clearly >:(

My Personal Coding Journal Notion 🍂☕️🪵

I'm kickstarting my reunion with coding by being organized! and with this field importantly, I want to track all my progress, notes and all the resources I find all in one place and this is what it looks like!

It includes:

My notes on each language HTML, CSS, Java...

Keeping track of when I start specific tutorials, courses, etc.

Free courses

Bootcamps I am researching

Resources to books

A personal FAQ

and more as I continue!

A quick peek inside the "Notes"

I haven't started it but this is how it'll be formatted:

happy coding and long life learning! ⊹｡ꕤ˚₊⊹

So the moment I saw that Elizabeth was Vanessa's mom in the Alive AU I could not help but imagine them being the pettiest shits to each other. Elizabeth suggests Vanessa dyes her hair red? Vanessa dyes her hair, like mentioned in game, rainbow. Why are you so mad, Mom? There's red in there!

At least Gregory and Cassie think it's cool.

It’s very much “Full Time Girlboss, Part Time Tiger Mom with severe insecurities installed by her Father” vs “Angsty Teen who learned how to find loopholes in contracts from her Mother” level of petty

But yes, the younger Afton cousins admire Vanessa for her rebelliousness

Starting to learn coding can be a rewarding journey. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you begin:

1. Choose a Programming Language

Beginner-Friendly Languages: Python, JavaScript, Ruby.

Consider Your Goals: What do you want to build (websites, apps, data analysis, etc.)?

genuinely one of my fav things ot think abt wrt tadc is like. the technical side of things. like idrk a lot abt computer science but i know a little and also like sci fi so i can follow a little of it and its really cool to think abt. like to me? the reason why abstraction occurs is bc, in the circus, a person is effectively JUST their mind. the mind is in a computer and all the signals its got is being read and interpretted and thats what gets the player model and how the person percieves themself to be standing or smth. and then the computer just sorta puts them somwhere and goes from there. so then abstraction is those signals starting to get jumbled up and jumbled up until the computer cant read it anymore and it just... gives the person a mess of an avatar bc it cant interpret them any other way. and bc the persons mind is all mixed in w computer junk this process kinda... scatters them a bit? and the computer can only send signals to the mind and affect its perception, but once all the computer and the mind are too jumbled up the computer cant put it back together

one of my friends is a biologist & i was really amused hearing some of her stories yesterday because they put into context just how believable newt's kaiju drift is as Shit A Biologist Would Do. like my friend has personally met both a guy who got infected with a botfly larva and didn't do anything to remove it (because he just didn't mind), and another guy who identified a tapeworm species by intentionally exposing himself to it (he had it narrowed down to 2 species and needed to know if it was the one that would infect humans) (it was)

studying for my coding test that is on tuesday and that contains 3 months worth of material looking like this

[eon-tries]

just realized that i never mentioned that i know how to code websites and vaguely know how to code in C because i took a class from Harvard, as well as classes at my university

in case you're interested in learning HTML and CSS, my web design class literally gave us these websites to use because it has almost everything:

CSS Tricks - An entire website just for CSS

HTML Tutorial - A webpage about HTML

CSS Tutorial - A webpage about CSS

Markup Validator - Makes sure your code is right

also, i recommend using Visual Studio (if you have Windows) or Visual Studio Code (if you have anything other than Windows, or if you want to do more than just HTML)

ive been coding for an assigment due tomorrow (worth 3 marks not worth it), and I just realized why it was not working...

IVE BEEN WORKING ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CLASS UNDER THE SAME NAME!!

NO WONDER IM GETTING "0" THE OG CODE IS RETURNING NULL IM SO FUCKING STUPID
