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
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
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?
never used codeacademy
I've always picked a project, then a language, then used a mix of tutorials and documentation to learn
