really?
That's what it looks like to me.
I guess I could be wrong but this doesn't look like the kind of Angular syntax I know.
And it explicitly says AngularJS.
AngularJS = Angular 1.
I'll ask about it, I still have plenty to go in the angular library module I'm on, hopefully it becomes more current so if i need help it will be easier
This is the latest Angular.
ahh ok, yeah this is angular one then, clearly stated that this is angularJS
interenting, didnt know that , thanks
Are you able to DDoS automated online phone services? It makes theoretical sense but does anyone know if it's actually possible?
I can find out.
Can anyone @here speak to the value of taking a programming class? I'm interested to learn some basic programming but I wouldn't consider myself tech savvy and I doubt I could learn through reading or watching videos on my own
@StrawberryArmada this is a good, common conversation so let's keep it public.
First: what do you want to be able to do with programming? Be as specific or general as you like. It's a broad skillset.
I have a computer science degree and let me tell you it didn't really come naturally to me the first time I took a class (almost failed). Anything that requires a lot of skill requires patience and practice
I say "let's keep it public" because normally I would do a voice chat.
@StrawberryArmada talk to Lukas bro
Creating bots and doing web design would be useful
If that even involves programming much
Why do you think you can't learn on your own?
I've tried to learn stuff like Python and Java myself with books and videos but
I think I lack the inclination to get it without more guidance
What don't you "get"? Honest question.
I have the option to take a class at school
I really don't understand what programming languages even are
I don't know how people figure what to put in and where to put it
I can't really tell if there's supposed to be some big list of premise commands
I getcha.
Or if people invent stuff and the computer just figures it out somehow
I don't even know how computers work really
OK, let me start by saying that "knowing how to program" is very much a continuum.
It's a huge skillset. For example, I make applications primarily for automated analysis and visualization of scientific data.
I don't know nuffin about languages like C and Clojure, and I don't need to right now
Similarly I know very little about networking
the "college question" when it comes to programming is a tricky one
I went the STEM route. I have two masters' degrees in engineering. But I didn't really know anything about coding until I got out of school
I taught myself. But those skills that I taught myself are used literally 10X more than anything I learned in school
I probably could have skipped all that college altogether
similarly the CIO where I work barely has a high-school diploma, and one of our mutual friends is a self-made multimillionaire who taught himself some tech stuff and got into the phone-dialer business.
