wouldnt learning data structures and algorithms compliment learning visual programming?

2018-11-14 23:57:13 UTC  

just the topic, if youre not a newbie you dont need visual programming i just recommend it for building discipline and good habits and as an intro

2018-11-14 23:59:03 UTC  

what kind of habits are you referencing and do you recommend undertaking multiple courses on udemy or coursera - idk whether to learn by just trial and error on my own projects or following alongon a course

2018-11-14 23:59:48 UTC  

you just have to start

2018-11-14 23:59:58 UTC  

if you over analyze you'll never pick something

2018-11-15 00:00:24 UTC  

thats why visual programming allows you to make something easily and quickly so you can see if you're interested in continuing further

2018-11-15 00:02:32 UTC  

oh okay- i've been coding daily for the past 2 months and before that had an internship as a data analyst where i used vba msot of the time for creating analytical reports - what made me get into coding initially was, and i know it's shallow, was the prestige of being a 'coder' as well as creating something unique that could be used by other people

2018-11-15 00:02:39 UTC  

what made you get into coding initially @Happy Humble Hermit

2018-11-15 00:02:53 UTC  

i made video games in high school

2018-11-15 00:03:09 UTC  

why was that enjoyable for you

2018-11-15 00:03:21 UTC  

i love video games

2018-11-15 00:03:36 UTC  

why do you think you love video games?

2018-11-15 00:04:43 UTC  

at its heart, doesn't anyone's hobby come from self expression through innovation?

2018-11-15 00:05:01 UTC  

Are you like.... A therapist?

2018-11-15 00:05:28 UTC  

nooo

2018-11-15 00:05:45 UTC  

I walked in at the right time. Is there coding talk going on in here?

2018-11-15 00:06:11 UTC  

System.out.println("maybe lol") ;

2018-11-15 00:06:17 UTC  

i'm a noobie and only been coding for like 3-4 months so was looking for some advice

2018-11-15 00:06:46 UTC  

so yeah lol, i've been playing around with web dev but it just seems so daunting so i'm focusing on the basics and working up from first principles

2018-11-15 00:06:53 UTC  

been using a site calling "free code camp"

2018-11-15 00:07:00 UTC  

... Do you hate your life?

2018-11-15 00:07:06 UTC

2018-11-15 00:07:37 UTC  

i use mdn too

2018-11-15 00:07:54 UTC  

Web dev is just something like the hidden circle of hell for me.

2018-11-15 00:09:16 UTC  

it's so intimidating initially and due to the number of resources out there i just fucked about for a month jumping from tutorial to tutorial

2018-11-15 00:10:21 UTC  

I also don't know anyone who enjoys web-dev. But if you want to do it.
1. Learn HTML
2. Learn CSS
3. Learn JS
4. Learn JQuery
5. Learn SQL
6. Learn your client server programing language tech. (I use Freemarker Templates and Java Servlets)
7. Learn AJAX

2018-11-15 00:10:25 UTC  

Give me a sec.

2018-11-15 00:10:40 UTC

2018-11-15 00:11:00 UTC

2018-11-15 00:11:18 UTC
