RE: Learning to Code - Introduction

in #introduceyourself8 years ago

Hey :) I tried learning JavaScript some time ago too (together with CSS and HTML and create some animations) and it was very fun, but I really had a hard time understanding it, mainly because I had no background to it, didn't understand how it works. Sure, many say that C++ is a hard language, but I'd say any language is hard at the beginning :) If you ever have some free time, you should definitely try the assembly language for 6502, it's very fun and logic and it might change your mind about the difficulty part :-D Here's where I've been excercising: http://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/#first-program
Keep in touch and happy Steemins @adnanrahic

Thanks @mindme! I'll definitely check it out. JavaScript is a bit weird, being loosely typed and a bit unforgiving with runtime errors. Otherwise, it's kinda okay. Regarding C++, I've forced myself to start watching a course to go back to basics. Mainly because Node.js is written in C++, and as a heavy Node.js user I felt obligated to check it out :). I'd love to read more of your experiences with assembly and C++. Keeping in touch for sure. :)

The best way to start doing something with C++ is to create your own side project and work on it until you've gained some understanding. Me and my bf were learning a new language in the same time (me with C++, he with Go) and we made challenges to see if we can both make the same thing or better. Even put a timer on some of them :-D It's a fun way to learn. So if you have a friend, give it a go! Sure, I'll try to make something in assembly soon, maybe go back to my old new friend BBC Micro B :-D See ya soon!
