They teach JS to kids in some schools in my cunt.

2016-12-03 12:51:24 UTC  

Python is a learner's language and JS is just gross.

2016-12-03 12:51:34 UTC  

i learn c++ at school

2016-12-03 12:51:55 UTC  

Go is a better learner language tbh

2016-12-03 12:51:59 UTC  

@caw I do too.

2016-12-03 12:52:04 UTC  

I have a friend who built a chat program in C#, then again in java, then again in something else.

2016-12-03 12:52:20 UTC  

and then he spent his holidays figuring out how to make all 3 version work together

2016-12-03 12:52:24 UTC  

Heh

2016-12-03 12:52:38 UTC  

it actually became pretty good; "Pigeon" is great as a school-wide chat program

2016-12-03 12:52:59 UTC  

You know, when you're making a software you should have the algoritm written somewhere.

2016-12-03 12:53:17 UTC  

After then, it's "just" writing code.

2016-12-03 12:53:24 UTC  

got taught glorious pascal on win95

2016-12-03 12:53:34 UTC  

You don't know how to do something ? You search.

2016-12-03 12:53:43 UTC  

I did pascal too 6 years ago.

2016-12-03 12:53:47 UTC  

basically how i learned programming ^

2016-12-03 12:53:58 UTC  

google is amazing for learning stuff tbh

2016-12-03 12:54:09 UTC  

fucking turbo pascal was a blast

2016-12-03 12:54:17 UTC  

Delphi 5 kek

2016-12-03 12:54:18 UTC  

and actually making stuff

2016-12-03 12:54:22 UTC  

Also yeah google things.

2016-12-03 12:54:26 UTC  

instead of watching vids

2016-12-03 12:54:30 UTC  

^

2016-12-03 12:54:35 UTC  

^^

2016-12-03 12:54:37 UTC  

Doing is way more important than reading and studying.

2016-12-03 12:54:52 UTC  

And you can actually try what you're learning.

2016-12-03 12:55:33 UTC  

The shitter 2004-2010 computer can run anything they ask you to do at school.

2016-12-03 12:57:04 UTC  

The usual is teaching C, Java or C++, HTML+CSS+JS, maybe some php and MySQL.

2016-12-03 12:57:47 UTC  

You can make software, web-pages, whatever even on loonix.

2016-12-03 12:58:15 UTC  

The hardware isn't a limitation.

2016-12-03 13:05:00 UTC  

>those things are taught the usual

2016-12-03 13:05:04 UTC  

Heh

2016-12-03 13:05:05 UTC  

HEH.

2016-12-03 13:05:22 UTC  

England is fucking awful for IT people. Or great, depending on how you look at it.

2016-12-03 13:05:30 UTC  

In schools, all they teach is MS Office.

2016-12-03 13:05:44 UTC  

In college, you'll do a bit of HTML and MAYBE php

2016-12-03 13:06:43 UTC  

So if you get into a C job or something, you're VERY secure since you don't have many rivals at all.

2016-12-03 13:07:40 UTC  

I believe Scotland is a very different story, but yes, we fucking suck for IT unless you're willing to take an apprenticeship and get shafted for a couple of years.

2016-12-03 13:08:15 UTC  

Or go to Uni but lol uni

2016-12-03 13:09:53 UTC
