RE: Learning to Code - Introduction

in #introduceyourself8 years ago

Hey there :) Oh yes, I also read that there are not so many ppl coding in assembly language, I wonder why. 6502 is really easy and interesting, its my favorite, although I haven't been coding in that for a while. 68k was a bit difficult for me, the nr of instructions is much longer, but it was very much fun. Sure, I could write a bit about that sometime soon, thanks for the suggestion :) Are you coding?

Sort:  

it's actually great that you started all your "hair-pulling" with assembly and C++, because truly, from that point on, once you understand all the intricacies of dealing with memory and pointers and the like, all the others languages become much easier to learn. it's more just a matter of learning the semantics between the different languages. And when you try writing for IoT, you really get an appreciation of how to implement things EFFICIENTLY as well!

You're right, I realize now how important it is to know the very basic sides of coding. Good point, it is indeed easier to look through other languages as fx go and javascript. I actually had lots of guidance into how and where to start from a very good programmer, without it I'd probably still be a bit lost :-D What languages are you coding with?

my favorite language is actually Pascal/Delphi, but I've coded everything from assembly (way back in the DOS days), to C/C++, C#, Java, Scala, JavaScript, PHP, and probably a few others I'm not remembering right now. lol

Blockchain-wise, you may also want to familiariaze yourself with Wren, which will be used for smart contracts in the upcoming EOS platform.

Nice! You seem to be quite experienced, appreciate your precise way of writing too. I'd like that one day, I can explain my coding skills and work in the same specific manner. Didn't get into blockchains just yet, I'm still a newbie in this area, but will definitely look into what you sent me! Keep in touch :)
