I made a program that takes two numbers, adds them up and says " fuck you x amount of times."
I just learned a little javascript.
Comment on: I Want to Start Programming. Where Should I Start?
Here's what i'm doing, because I procrastinated for seven years at this: bento.io Learn a simple markup language like Html and css first. It's a simple win that will let you know if you have the patience and disiplen to learn languages that have no absraction. You can learn ruby, python, or my current choice, javascript. It doesn't matter because you need to learn the concepts behind what each language can do ( arrays, loops, objects, and all the ways you make em.) You also need to get used to doing something you have no clue as to how it works, and then as you gain more experience you kinda finally get an idea how it works, but not really. In other words, you learn constantly how little you know.
Note that I'm at 98 percent complete on codeacademy javascript course. I use bento to track my progress. Learning this stuff is like learning to use a saw of screwdriver though: just because you can cut some wood doesn't mean you can build a house. You'll need to pick up projects to build to actually learn programming. Not an expert but I am learning slowly.
Omg I love you.
