tmarc1578yThere's no such thing as lame examples, it's good to build strong foundation in order to avoid awkward moments when you don't actually know something what is really basic

tmarc1578y@rohogaka damn, sure you can, but I can feel now this amateur philosopher awkwardness 😂

@tmarc If my office printer were working, I would print it right away and make a new post, but I have the screencap saved :) and what good are words if they have no meaning and yours sure will cuz now it has a story. Cheers Mate :)

The difference between average programmers and great programmers is the mastery of those "basic" code examples. Enjoy!

@rohogaka good! It's true! Learn sorting algorithms, big O notation, and data structures.
It sounds scary but I promise you it's easy. Especially if your smart enough to teach yourself to code, your smart enough to be an elite programmer. No joke. All it takes is competency -
@champion01 I just wanna apply myself. and working in application support resolving tickets is just not for. me.

@rohogaka
For me it is easier to learn when I consider the subject of my learning process as a tool to achieve a concrete goal, whereas I quickly forget things if I am learning them just by the sake of learning, even with thousand examples.
For example, I was able to learn compilers, parsers and abstract syntax trees in a short period of time, because I needed to write a simplified parser of a language in order to achieve my final goal, which was automated extraction of test cases from a code snippet.
I suggest you to think about an application to drive your learning, it may greatly improve your learning process and is a trick for a lifetime. Happy learning! 😉

alvaroalves0523So my gf wants to learn how to code. Just showed her Codecademy. It will be fun to watch this.
Learning to code in Visual Studio with such lame examples that I literally have to minimize my screen so that no one mocks me. #beginnerproblems
