wanted to make a discord bot this summer, looked for a tutorial, first one was C#

got used to C#, so I've been using it since

nice sucking Microsoft dick

I have been picking up C/C++ because it's part of my uni course

But I use C# a lot, too, so...

tfw too brainlet for coding, recommend me some beginner arduino projects to give me that spark

arduino will be hard af

why arduino?

if you haven't programmed at all, I wouldn't start with that

because I've got the boards, and I've used them a lot

and if you have programmed at all, go with STM32 or a PIC

@Semi Truck mc Clusterfuck I meant kimchiboy

also, at uni, we're using MBED boards

This book is pretty good

I've had an Arduino UNO board for 2 years haven't touched it besides the starting projects

just thought I'd give it another shot to make it feel like a solid investment

because my course takes into account the people with no experience whatsoever, the final part of our second semester is programming these things to do various shit

*photo pending*

so CS really doesn't require any previous experience?

I already had PHP (kill me) experience before that

@Kimichiboi if you want to learn programming, fix the bot

so that the review-crawler works again

it's like 99% done

I can even assist you

props best for me to learn it in the course instead of autism self teaching 🤤

most people would say that python is a good language to start, but I have a love/hate relationship with it due to the lack of semi-colons

what source would you recommend for teaching?

I wouldn't recommend PHP as a starter object orientated language because the documentation gave me cancer

python is a trash language don't @ me

if you use python you support dutchposting too

don't use stackexchange for a learning source

most of the answers to problems are "hey, I've got that problem too, dm me when you find the answer" or "idiot, just read the documentation"

nvm fixed it!

that doesnt sound like stackexchange at all

@Kimichiboi c++ primer is a fairly popular learning book

here's one way to learn

https://www.codingame.com/

digital electronics/microcontrollers lecturer told us it was a good way to improve your programming with easy challenges

would you say it's better than codecademy?
