Learning How to Code - Getting Started

journeyoflife (67) · 7 years ago

I’d love to be a part of this with you and we can learn from one another through this journey and it would be pretty cool if you post videos of what you learn so everyone can learn with you . I know nothing should be an excuse because you can learn from anywhere . Go to the public library and you can rent out books for free !

@cryptoctopus,
NodeJS, this is what I need to learn! If you get a good sources to learn about it, please share with us! If I get I will do the same! I know JavaScript, HTML, CSS (lack with Php, anyway it can be solved) I will support you! I know Java, C#, ASP.NET, Oracle, MySQL, SQL yep I know all of them, so after reading your article I am thinking about giving a try to NodeJS and then I will give my maximum support to build our future apps! (Volunteer support, I am not charging anything, I just want to help your great works)

Cheers~

@cryptoctopus - Sir it's no only coding, the inspiration you give to the community to build our own apps on STEEM blockchain is pretty awesome... No other person is willing to do such thing... You are following basics to complex theory Sir... After HTML/CSS you are going to scripting languages... You are learning & studying them very well Sir... Good luck...

When first learning I usually suggest an IDE like eclipse, you can set it up for any language you want pretty much, if you are more confident in your coding a lot of people really enjoy notepad++ both are also free options.

I’m glad to come on this ride with you! Are you using your blog to reinforce your studies like you were saying you do in yesterday’s blog?

phgnomo (64) · 7 years ago

Ok, time to put y coding learning on the schedule too.

ghulammujtaba (59) · 7 years ago

Excellent resources, there is another wonderful course on udemy that I bought for HTML and CSS Build Responsive Real World Websites with HTML5 and CSS3. This instructor is awesome, delivers lectures and give examples from our real life. I bought his Javascript course as well which looked good but didn't start it due to PHP.
I think the coding world is endless and this is the best time to dive into it.

oyvindsabo (53) · 7 years ago

I agree with your languages of choice. I'm lagging behind on Javascript skills, so I think mastering Javascript will be my goal for 2018. For new users who are not necessarily going to limit themselves to web development, I still think Python is king, especially now that so many frameworks allow for easy web development.

I love both Sublime & Brackets. Excellent choises for editors. The colorcoding is great and both have a great set of features.

I myself am trying to learn Python on the side (though Javascript would be useful for me as well as other languages). I'm using Codecademy to follow 'courses' in learning new programming languages.

I'll follow along with your progress. Being the 'art' guy for @blockbrothers witness, I feel being able to pitch in with development might be really useful, if not now at least in the future :)

cryptoctopus (74) · 7 years ago

I heard a lot of people suggesting to learn Python as the first language...it also seems that it is what Universities are starting to do too. I chose HTML/CSS/Javascript because I want to focus on the front-end of websites.

eqko (61) · 7 years ago

Yeah no doubt. html/css/javascript is a killer combo. They are quite easy to learn compared to other languages (though I don’t know about JS). And obviously a must-know when wanting to develop web-based front-ends. Python as I understand it is more of a general purpose language with a very wide usecase.

kouba01 (81) · 7 years ago (edited)

ohh you have the chance to learn it!!Considering how many services are going online, clearly JavaScript will continue to grow quickly and stay very relevant in the years to come.

In general, it's difficult to predict where JavaScript's direction would be as the technology is always evolving, but needless to say, JavaScript will only continue to grow in terms of adoption rate

Everything can be learned for absolutely free.

Yes @cryptoctopus. Everything on the internet can be learnt for free only your time and dedication matter. Putting enough time and zeal to learn it will help you succeed. Like me the zeal is not there because I have a lot of programming materials to read but I've been caught up with so many other things.

What language should I learn first?

In 2017, there is a huge amount of choice in front of us and just like when we face the toothpaste section at the grocery store, the amount of choice can be overwhelming.

There is no "Correct" answer to that one. Usually, people would say:"Whatever language allows you to get started fast and see the result as soon as possible.

In your other posh about programming, I told you how I learnt programming alone but fell out on the way because things began to look complicated and difficult to understand.

At that time, most persons recommended Java as the programming language to learn first and I kinda believed them.

But now that I'm starting afresh to learn programming, I think I should stick to your advice:

This is why I would say that the easiest languages to learn are by far HTML/CSS. Everything that happens in a web browser is a combination of HTML/CSS/Javascript. I'm no expert but it seems obvious to me that this is a good path to get started on, especially if you have a similar goal than mine.

I've seen this recommendation countless of times and I think I'll stick with this.

Thanks for spending time to share this with us. I'm grateful.

Happy Steeming

Money is not an excuse
If you are dirt poor, having no money is not an excuse. That's one thing that is amazing with the internet. Everything can be learned for absolutely free.

With the ever growing population of the internet, learning has never been these easy.

You can literally find everything online these days, from cooking to home decoration and even health care ~~this was introduce into the steemit some month back that's @airclinic~~ they write about health related issues and also have a discord server for it.

The idea of one saying money is quite the issue why I cant be learned, to me I take that as pure laziness as the ability to learn as already been given to you and all you have to do is pay attention and read.

This just take me back to when I was trying to understanding blogging, I had to go through some videos on html and it really helped me on the long run

lemouth (72) · 7 years ago

The beautiful thing with learning HTML/CSS/Javascript is that all you need is a text editor and a browser. That's it! For browser Chrome is good and for text editor you can choose Sublime Text or Brackets

For coding, whatever is the programming language, VIM is the most practical one. Especially if you are involved in huge projects. It is just not user friendly at all (but who dares when one tries to be efficient).

By the way, I don't know whether anyone has already mentioned this to you (sorry not to check the gazillions of comments you receive generally :p), but the only and real way to learn is to spend an afternoon to get the basis, and then starts some real applications and use the web to complete your training. This is how I learned all the programming languages I know today.

Have fun with your coding project! :)

I went to school in Irving, Tx during my early elementary years and was lucky enough to be taught LOGO in second grade. Instruction didn't continue in third grade but I did get a CoCo 2. It had a version of LOGO which I quickly lost interest in because it had something else, BASIC.

Soon all my free time was spent pouring over computer magazine my mom bought me and hand entering BASIC code. I'm sure I hacked together a hundred games the first year I had that thing and it was my best friend until I discovered girls. When my luck with girls didn't go so well I went back to BASICs. I also had a Zx Spectrum clone with another variety of BASIC. I still tinker with a Version of BASIC to this day. See also: BASINC.

Later I got involved with a community on a file sharing platform known as DC++ and ran a few different hubs. I needed lua scripts to make certain actions easier for my ops and users but I just couldn't find ones I liked, so back to hacking at code I went. I ran another version later that used perl scripts. That was a nightmare, but I hacked away.

I ran a few websites powered by WordPress and constantly tweaked at the php, html, and css.

The point of all this is that I have never formally learned anything related to programming. I waded in with a machete and duct tape and just made things happen.

I really think it is long past time for me to correct this. So why not start with js?

I won' be paying for anything, I'm an old pirate and some things are hard to change. I'll begin by using the resources at MDN and from there I'll go to Free Code Camp and Project Euler. After that I'll figure out next steps.

The ultimate goal of course is to build tools for myself and possibly others to use with Steem.

Thanks for the post.

Keep Steeming!

I have a tip for those of us who are already parents:

Let your kids mess with coding right from the beginning, there is Scratch by MIT and Blockly by Google who are specially designed for kids and are designed in a way they will also enjoy it.
Starting to code at an early age will help your kids develop a critical and logical way of thinking and it may advance them in life when they grow older, regardless of the whether they will be a programmers or not - programming can be useful in every day activity as well!
I helped my brother to start learning at the age of 13 and today he is working for money, enjoys hackathons etc. - I really believe programming helped him a lot and that's when he began not so early!

For the adults of us - I don't need to add another word, @cryptoctupus gave us all we need!

I agree with most everything you have written here. I also agree that at times, the formal instruction sites are pretty useful and will give you a more structured learning process. In my world, I believe that I learn best by doing projects, having to problem solve inside those projects, and then doing more projects. These have been my best teachers in almost all I have done.

Do you have an idea or goal for your first project? I've made a few attempts at learning different languages and always found that a lack of excitement for the test projects was a limiting factor when learning.

It's much easier to battle through a tough question/hurdle if you are going trial by fire directly on a project you care about.

I want to say something in JavaScript. Some think that JavaScript works only in the form of web page form validation and some dome manipulation. And it is a client side language that can run only in the browser.But the ideas are 100 percent wrong. From server side and network programming, mobile and desktop app development, game development to Internet of Things, machine learning, this JavaScript will also be seen. And it has been built on intermediate language and has been developed on some sub languages like Capsiscript, TypeScript etc.

Learning how to code is also a goal of mine for 2018. Well, to be frank I started way before that.

Most of my projects were in the category cool, but useless;) I programmed sorting algorithms, made some text-based games, a random poem generator, a banking system, a mastermind solver... I think I never actually made a finished product with a nice user interface. The coming week, I'm using Java to make Android games. Right now, the main benefits I see with Java is
1: It can be used to make games, both for computers and phones.
2: If you know Java, a lot of other languages are very easy to learn because they use the same language structure.

Learning to code is smart work, not hard work. I have tried and tested majority of languages, including Javascript, Ruby, Python and Golang. I settled on GO because I am betting on it to be the future of great things to come. For a beginner it's best you start with Web Development stacks like (HTML, CSS, JS). Especially if you are focused on front-end but if you want backend, after learning HTML, CSS and JS, you can proceed to learn JS for backend (NodeJS) or pick any of the other languages I mentioned above.
If you get stuck, ask for help, that's what makes a good developer.

It's not going to be easy, but it will definitely be worth it.

Remember, Just Start.

The beautiful part about learning to code is, like you said, pretty much everything is for free! So many helpful tutorials on yT for pretty much every programming language out there... Started learning Solidity recently and thanks to yT and other free content I'm learning very very fast!

Coding serves a purpose and it that purpose dictates what language you want to learn. If you are a beginner you should start with Python and read A Byte of Python which is a free book that will teach you a lot. Javascript isn't a bad choice either as it is used a lot and isn't going away anytime soon.

As sooner or later everything will hopefully be part of the blockchain this is one of the best things you can do now. The web development industry stagnates and more and more mass produced website appears on the Web. If you want to make a difference and create something that is moving things forward not backwards, then you are going in the right direction.

Never let down @gogle.

I just started learning those 3 languages, so i hope your blog will be one of the sources to read for them :) Stackoverflow is really the best place out there if someone has any questions. You can find almost anything there.
Do you know any Java or C++ ? That would be also cool to learn :)

Following with interest, and if I may just add, for the people who doubt your free statement, in the UK at least you can go to a public library and work where there is free wifi and obviously lots of books to help you in your quest. You can also work quietly and uninterrupted. A great and under utilised resource :-)

Keep on going.
What language should you learn first? Python.

Excellent introduction post. I do have another resource to suggest: what little CSS/HTML I know, I mostly learned on w3schools.com. It's self-paced and also helpful if you're just trying to review a particular function or aspect of coding that's becoming a problem. Well worth checking out.

I know some html already and I am starting to learn python. I will be following your blog as I am also very excited to build for steem!

It's gonna get real weird around here when machine learning can be used to make the bots more competitive when they try to change the math to prevent bots from winning out. Guess python knowledge is necessary at that point to just stay afloat.

Are you talking about bot wars? I am sure we will see these (they are probably trading/fighting already)

What a great idea. I guess you knew that. I'm in.

The one place that I didn't see mentioned and have used in the past is CodeAcademy. Also free and I've gotten a lot from it.

Thank you for another opportunity on Steemit.

Because he's your competition and wants you to lag out when you open bigger documents and files, leaving you in the dust.
