I can't code.
I can't code.
Across this vast Fediverse, I have encountered a trend of people answering questions with esoteric programming language speaking in tongues that I don't understand, including under my own posts. I am a Boomer when it comes to coding and I am only 27. I don't even know where I would start to learn it because programming is so diverse. I want to feel like I know what's going on but I don't. Coding is the future and the future is now and I am lagging severely behind. I guess I'm asking where a bumbling novice like me can learn more about where to start when it comes to programming.
You're viewing a single thread.
As a fellow bumbling novice, I hard a hard time figuring out where to start until one of my colleagues recommended C++. That is the way! I feel like C# helped train my brain to "think" in code.... if that makes sense. The patterns and mechanisms involved in C# carry over to so many other languages. There's my two cents for ya. Best of luck in your coding adventures!
I'm not sure I fully agree with that approach for most people since C++ resources and tools seem to not be the user friendliest but then again if it worked for you that is amazing.
You do know that C++ and C# are two different languages, right?
Meant to say C#, said C++ instead... THEN kept messing it up while trying to fix it..... So I ended up just deleting it. Edibles and lemmy is a tough combo. But I'm glad everyone else in the thread is calling out the good stuff.
Oh yeah, apologies for the above comment. C# is definitely a good option, especially if you use windows and love messing around with the OS
I had an edible once...
