@k00b how you learn to code?
College! Looking to learn?
reply
Been trying for two years. What languages do you know?
reply
Nice, how's the learning going? Have you been trying to self teach or taking courses?
I've done substantial work in these languages: C/C++/golang/javascript/lisp/ruby/obj-c but mostly program in javascript these days.

I took a JavaScript course then trying to self teach python. I also took the CS50 course offered by Harvard but found it too complex for the free time I actually have. So it’s a slow journey
reply
I recommend taking a community college class if you have a CC near by. Online classes are fine, but there's value to class environments that extend beyond the material taught.
reply
That’s a great idea! Will look into that thanks.

i refused to code for 20 years of my life. hardware was my favourite. my excuse was somone can do it better why should i try? then i bought a arduino starter set. from that point i enjoyed coding very much.

Programming being fun in enough reason to do it IMO. The cost to create something is so cheap relative to the value that can be created.
