He should make tutorials: "How to cause an exception"

My professor( 2 yrs ago) : Why r u wasting ur time on Python. Learn Java or .net , u will get a good job.

Now she asked me for python tutorials cause she needs it for her PHd. 😂😂😂

Watched so many tutorials recently, my inner English voice started having an Indian accent!

*Me trying to flirt with her*

Me: "Programming turns me 1."

She: "JavaScript turns me true."

Guess who spent whole day searching some good js tutorials on web today ??

I know this generally isn't a well-received topic, but fuck it – this pisses me off, so I 'm gonna have at it:

WHY THE FUCK, do an estimated 95% of all people who create English tutorials on development and programming use so many redundant terms while teaching?

I said it already, and I'll say it again, I don't buy your fucking blabbering about keeping it DRY as long as you – just one fucking sentence later! – drop bombs like 'let's extract it out'. That's tautological as fuck, you goddamn moron! The definition of extracting is literally, FUCKING LITERALLY, to take something OUT OF something else, so adding 'out' is not particularly DRY, is it?

You can stop compiling things 'down', there is no fucking compiling 'up', so there is no need at all for that fucking suffix. You can also stop 'returning back' things! Returning something implies it goes back, you fucking blockhead, just like combining and adding things implies that they will become one, so save yourself the suffix 'together', even if you added it for the sole sake of having uttered three extra syllables, in order to sound more sophisticated. You don't, on the contrary, you sound like a confounded fucking idiot to everybody who doesn't hate and butcher their language like you.

One more thing that really annoys the fuck out of me is when new sentences begin with 'so what we're gonna do is, we're gonna […]'. You can fucking leave out the whole first part of that sentence, Mr. Pleonasm.

And you can neither abstract something 'away', nor deconstruct something 'apart', and delegation usually means passing tasks 'down' in a hierarchy, so there is no need to mention that either, just like using 'as well' and 'too' the same sentence is FUCKING REDUNDANT!

Of course I could try to ignore it, but it makes me fucking mad, and ruins whole courses and tutorials for me, because it diverts me and destroys my focus with every pseudo-sophisticated, redundant term that follows.

Yes, language constantly evolves, but if this is the trend then we should add a large ass 'D' in front of 'evolution of human language'. And also yes, I'm talking about native speakers here, mainly US Americans. Keep it DRY, my arse. Learn English, you fucking morons!

Been watching a lot of lectures on YouTube. They usually talk too slow.

*Skimming through tutorial and learning sites*

"The ultimate x course. Learn x in under 3 hours!"

Go fuck yourself with a rusty shovel, you fucking lying product of a family orgy.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"From advanced to pro in three easy steps"

Yeah, right. Sod off, you glue-sniffing dullard of a scammer.

"Ultra boost your …"

Die. Just fucking die already.

"The first step is to unlearn everything …"

Fucking bullshit. You cannot 'unlearn' things, maybe forget things, but certainly not on purpose, as long you don't physically harm yourself.

Even as a hyperbole for advertisement it's fucking stupid and pointless. and if you could 'unlearn' things, it certainly wouldn't be the best idea to 'unlearn' everything, would it?

It's stupid, empty bullshit like this that makes me really fucking mad and keeps me from focusing on the learning material. How about you stop talking shit and start teaching, fuckwit?

Just found someone's made a YouTube series of tutorials for my software! My lack of motivation just disappeared 😁

Yeah, make a tutorial for a technology experts for which are well-sought after, and waste everybody's time right away by doing an extra shitty job explaining what the fucking technology is all about.

Who the flying rat's glans decides to learn a framework or programming language without at least being informed about what the fuck it is or what the hell it's used for before getting knee-deep into learning it, you stupid, fucking pickle tickler!

Just get on with it! JUST GET THE FUCKING HELL ON WITH IT, ARSEHOLE!

When beginners ask for Deep Learning tutorials.
Credits: Usaim Arif‎

Here's another fact: people that use redundant formulas like 'the exact same' in development tutorials immensely enjoy sucking weasels arseholes and going to libraries in order to ask for books on how to read.

How exactly do you take a crappy hello world program 'for a spin'?

Sometimes I almost get the impression all tutorial makers, presenters, speakers and teachers who explain programming languages and frameworks to their audience just talk like that in order to piss me off, specifically me, even though I know it's not true, absurd even.

One of the first things I read shortly before I started programming was that a basic understanding of how language, semantics and syntax work is a definite prerequisite to write meaningful programs.

If that's actually true, why the FLYING, CUNTING, STINKING, STICKY SNOTBALLS are so many so-called programmers and self-proclaimed developers not able to understand the principles of denotation and connotation? And how the fuck did so many idiots get into our part of the industry in the first place?

I know this is one of those things AGAIN that piss me off far more than they should, but FUCK, THAT'S SO GODDAMN ANNOYING!

Hackr.io is the best website to find effective tutorials for every language. I think every body should visit this website and vote for the best tutorials to help noobs.

First job as a dev, after years of tutorials and side projects

Spent about two hours writing basic programming tutorials and putting them online three days ago.
*looks at site*
Total visitors: 0
Well, that was a huge waste of time.

Watching Tutorials:
10% of time:
“yay, I'm learning something new.“
90% of time:
"Fuck, why does my stuff look different?"

When I find a video tutorial I like,

"Hey! I might actually watch this in normal speed instead of the usual 2x".

A friend recommended a website for react tutorials (online.reacttraining.com), front-end of it is built in angular :D

First time dealing with front and backend web programming. Any advice or tutorials that can help me get on the track with good MVC? I hate having a giant discombobulated mess of an index.php file

I started learning php at age 15, copying code from tutorials, changing stuff until it worked. Now 10 years later I still copy code from tutorials and change stuff until it works...

Is it only me or is everyone watching on-line coding courses and tutorials at 2x speed?

Life of a junior self-taught dev with a sysadmin job:

1)At work, desperately try to script and automate every task, even when it isn't nessecary.

2)Learn dev skills from tutorials and web courses at every minute of your free time.

3)When returning home get self-guilt because you're procrastinating instead of doing an all-night development like your dev friends

4)The only productive thing you do is more tutorials and courses because you feel your dev skills aren't high enough for a self project

Frustrated.

I know what I'm watching at the next movie night 👌 '95 tutorials & chill.

Told the new hire that for the first week they can just familiarise themselves with the JS framework, do the tutorials, and read through the code / docs.

Boss comes by Tuesday morning "you should be finished with all the tutorials by the end of the day"

Looks like we're throwing him in the deep end!

Context: new dev has Java and 3d games background. Our app is full stack JS

Stories of a lazy programmer...

I'm trying to learn how to make apps for Android with Kotlin, but every single fucking tutorial, guide, introduction, you name it just assumes out of its ass that you have 69+ years of experience in Java. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN DECLARE YOUR KOTLIN ACTIVITY IN THE ANDROID MANIFEST LIKE YOU WOULD DO FOR A JAVA ACTIVITY?! GO FUCK YOURSELF OR TELL ME HOW, YOU FAT ARSE PRICK. YOU TOOK HALF A PARAGRAPH AND A IMAGE BIGGER THAT YOUR MOM'S ASS ON A MOIST DAY TO TELL ME ABOUT ANDROID STUDIO'S AUTOCOMPLETE FEATURE, YET YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN NEITHER EXPERT NOR BASIC CONCEPTS. YOUR JOB IS TO EXPLAIN BOTH OF THESE, OR AT LEAST ONE, YOU FUCK!

You just get thrown entirely new concepts without even any explanation! "Oh, why should I explain it, you know it from Java". Take a hot cup of coffee, shove it deep in your rectum. Your ass is now Java. I know nothing about nor do I want to, I came here to your petty website to learn Kotlin.

Yes, I know it's a descendant of Java. I don't give a shit. I didn't need C to learn C++, and it's stupid to say you need to know Java to learn Kotlin. Absolute garbage nonsense.

A fucking annoying waste of time, going through tons of tutorials until you find the one that is actually helpful.

Oh Boy!! Just thought this is an app for tutorials and how too stuff.. now noticed it's better than reddit... Catched my self spending hours here and not doing my work xD

Tutorials on the Internet.
They say you have to enter a 12 Character long hexadecimal number.
AND THEN THEY PUT A "G" IN THERE?
WHAT? ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING?

Oh c'mon dipwit. I don't give a damn about your youtube channel, how thankful you are to be able to do tutorials for a living and especially i do not want to watch a ten minute video about a topic where a two minute read would suffice. Fuck this whole youtibe/video/vlog culture and gimme some oldfashioned text-based tutorials....

Why in lucifer's name does every two paragraph shit blog post or five minute 'look, ma!' video tutorial need a fucking conclusion, nowadays? Are you afraid your target audience is so severely mentally challenged that it can't extract the point you intend to make in a total of ten sentences?

Maybe it's time to throw out the fucking buzzwords and restrict yourself to talking about matters you actually understand yourself before publishing a fuckload of half-arsed tutorials about it, whaddaya think? How about removing all the uhms and uhs you 'structured' your pseudo-pretentious drivel with?

If you really have to fucking contribute to the misinformation and watering down of useful information so many of your fellow lobotomy victims are already engaging in, at least tell everybody upfront that you're a fucking dimwit and couldn't tell your arse from your reflection in the mirror, if somebody gave you a pat on the former, and a piece of whatever else you eat apart from attention.

Also, call it 'tl;dr' instead of 'conclusion', that would be more appropriate, because half of your knuckle scraping target audience probably can neither read nor hold a strain of thoughts that doesn't involve the words 'fuck' or 'banana' for longer than a minute, so even your idiotic conclusion is useless, if it's comprised of more than three words.

I wish dumb people weren't allowed to use the fucking internet.

CONCLUSION:
Burn your computer!

To all of you making tutorials out there:

MAKE IT FUCKING SIMPLE!!!

Jesusfuck, can you stop making sentences that are unnecessarily complicated, and make no fucking sense from a linguistic perspective? Or just stop repeating what literally everyone else has also said in their videos? If y'all just repeat eachother, then did any of you really understood the topic?

Just be easy bitch, and remember the rule of KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid!

tl;dr: watched about ten of these video tutorials, still not grasping shit about the topic. They're just repeating each other. And I just need to hear it from another perspective.

Finally I understand what it is like to use a language that does not have any extra resources like stackoverflow or tutorials.

Using ReasonML for my final year project and the only resource I have is the API doc ☹️

It's 2017 and I still didn't find a tutorial where the writer is aware of the difference between "its" and "it's".

Let's repeat it again:
it's != its

Fukken School project

I spent days writing good documentation with step-by-step tutorials. I broke the project down into small, simple tasks.
Trying so hard to make everyone’s job easy.

And they still fail.

Give me a cookie

Tutorials w examples that don't even work. Would run into these all the time back in my Flash days, so frustrating.

I prefer watching YouTube tutorials created by natural, cursing and burping developers to videos created by sterile people with fake smiles and awful jokes.

STOP EXPLAINING ME THE MOST BASIC COMPUTER STUFF LIKE "What is localhost?" WHEN I'M NOT ON A BASIC TUTORIAL...

!rant
As a self taught, I used to break what i want to learn into pieces and watch tutorials where people use these pieces. Then I could easily do what I learned, but I could do it exactly how I learned it from the tutorials.
Until one glorious day I found a tutorial about js that doesnt teach you the "how" of things but the "why" of things.
I cant describe how easy and in depth I understand js tutorials now. It is easier even when I have to learn a new framework.
It feels like I fast-forwarded my knowledge growth overnight.
I now see my 3 weeks old code and it disgusts me.

Omg whhhy do things change so much from Laravel 5.x to 5.4? Tutorials are useless! And Google, I love you, but giving me laravel 4 answers as top results for my query specifying 5.4 is just infuriating!!!

Why is it that everytime, as a back-end developer, I want to dive into a simple front-end topic or technique which can perfectly be done in plain JavaScript, I need 27 different libraries and packages according to nearly all tutorials..

It really crushes my motivation and is just ridiculous.

Don't watch video tutorials while lifting weights. I was reading what was being typed, and forgot I was holding 150 pounds over my head.

1. Get a book
2. Watch endless video tutorials on YouTube
3. Go deeper - watch lectures on YouTube
4. Write lots of meaningless programs
5. Find an idea for a bigger project
6. Learn through making mistakes on the very project
7. ???
8. Profit

Finally done with all the Java tutorials and trainings that I have.. now on to learning Android development with teamtreehouse! Any suggestions at all from any of the awesome vets here??

How do you usually learn a new language?
My way is to start a project, then figure it out as I go.

I find that books and tutorials are usually better reserved for learning concepts or frameworks.

Bought an online lecture on NodeJS from Udemy for a hefty price. It only outlines basics and does not even demonstrate a CRUD operation.

I mean c'mon!! what a bunch of cunts!

I swear to god if I see another goddamn todo list tutorial im gonna fucking switch careers. JS fanboys with their blogs... jesus christ i thought npm was spoiled but god, try googling angular tutorials... Seriously, you pick a framework and write a useless shitty blog article about the most obvious implementation? Is that your thing now? Write a tutorial on how to make a mailchimp clone? too hard? I thought so. Your mum must be very proud of you crackhead

I'm making an educational game for a school project.

What I thought I had to do:
Write complex code
Learn to animate
Make all resources by myself

What i do:
Drag and drop stuff into unity.
Moving arrows around.
Watch tutorials.

Im 3 weeks ahead of my planing... After 6 days.

No wonder there are so many 3rd class unity games

Everytime I wanna create custom adapters and custom listviews I have to go through tutorials again -_-

When your "Windows programming" course is supposed to be about C#, but is actually about Visual Basic, because your teacher can't do C# and thinks VB is a much better language and rants about it all day instead of teaching anything. Homework assignments were some outdated tutorials copy-pasted from msdn.microsoft.com

Had a bit of time, so I went and tried kotlin for Android.
Can confirm, it's nice and easy. So far, so good.
I specially like how easy it deals with data models.
Downside: not enough tutorials or stackoverflow topics. 😒😒

Just started learning Vue after watching few Angular 2 tutorials. Man, Vue is damn beautiful.

Anyone else hates those tutorials that go in a direction for pages and pages, then suddenly they tell you that while that works, it's inefficient and insecure. THEN WHY THE FUCK DID YOU NOT TALK ABOUT THE PROPER WAY??? You don't teach people to drive a car blindfolded.

Realizing that you were watching and working with an iOS tutorial when you were coding for an hour or two your Android app

My dad is in IT, and when I was younger he realised I had the same logical/analytical skill set as him so had me enrolled in a Lego robotics course and I loved it so I taught myself to code from online tutorials and books!

To all people who write half arsed tutorials: A tutorial is meant to reduce and overcome the cognitive load of starting something new. If you can't explain your own fucking library in a way that somebody who knows most of the related technologies well can follow you without finding a question mark the size of the fucking mount everest above their head, then you probaby shouldn't have quit your day job at the porn movie theater.

I was going through the Absinthe GraphQL tutorial website tonight. I tried to follow the guiding thread, but I gotta say, if your goal was confusing the reader, you must have exceeded even your own expectations. A brain hemorrhage couldn't have done it better.

References and config settings are missing, the router and dependencies aren't even mentioned, and the explanations are bare of any possibly imortant or obligatorily needed information.

How is this shit supposed to be helpful? Making things even more complicated is a waste of your time and that of your readers; it doesn't help anybody.

Now, whoever wrote this useless tutorial, please go back to cleaning wanking booths in the porn theater you were probably born in and leave programming and writing to the grown-ups.

So, I want to start a blog where I can post the result of my research and showcases as tutorials... I though that if I'm doing it for my job, it could help somebody else.

What would you recommend me? Any advice?

That moment when you go to YouTube for a configuration or code tutorial and have to wait for 5 seconds to view a WIX.com ad... FML

In a getting started tutorial about Haskell:

"You probably already have haskell installed because you tried to learn it once and failed"

He's so right...

1) read every pages of the tech's website
2) follow documentation
3) read online tutorials
4) try to use it in currently working some projects

I keep trying to follow Google deepdream tutorials in Python and it requires an older version of python27 whenever I try to pop install a module, I get an error because of python27 not supporting ssl.

So annoying.

One thing I hate about documentation and tutorials is they always seem to use the simplest examples they can think of. They show you how easy it is, but if you want to use it in the real world start digging further.

When I try to implement cryptography based on tutorials. 👾

"These Monty Python references in Python tutorials are hilarious." Said no one ever.

Fucking tutorials that simply skip thing completely.

Like how the fuck am I supposed to know how to run that that shit when you don't even mention how to build it and jump straight to the fucking debugging section.

Fucking hell, relate yourself to the people who'll read your shit, you non empathetic scum

Who else hates tutorials.
They are made with so much text and outdated code that it’s better to write the thing needed by yourself and stack overflow.🤔

client to Freelance programmer : we'll need a website, an android app, an ios app, a windows phone app, a windows desktop application, a Linux app, a mac app, we also want an interactive game version of the app, for learning and tutorials, can you develop all that? *developer : yes. *goes to learn c# : )

80% of the YouTube tutorials that I've watched suck and only wasted 10 minutes of my time each. Sometimes, I can work well with doing shit myself. Discovering errors yourself teach you more than following along someone else.

That feeling of accomplishment when you finally finish that pdf tutorial book of 700 pages and it never became just another took you started. If only I can finish my personal projects now

Stuck in tutorial hell....
I have a list of ideas for applications I want to create but I always feel like I never know enough to start them. So I end up signing up for another tutorial from most of the popular sites to only skip pass all 50-60%. Has anyone ever experienced this? I'm open for suggestions to get pass this!!

I'm curious...is there a practical application for reversing a string, other than for tutorials and interview questions?

Please recommend me good YouTube channels about programming (not tutorials)

MOTHERF*CKING HELLO WORLD Tuts.

What is it with people that after what 20 years (?) still every programming language tutorial starts with a "Hello World" program?
Programmers are usually such creative people, so why does everybody who writes a tutorial start with "Hello world"?
You learn nothing by such an example, it is boring as hell already the second time (first time is funny though).
And especially: If you write a tutorial with the prerequisite that people reading it should already know another language, WHY THE HELL START OUT LIKE THAT?

Okay, now back to learning Scala 😊

I am creating a new language. Not like C# but a language specifically for plus,minus,multiply,division stuff

Any tuts related to this?

Have to say I enjoy being a minority, using a minor Linux distribution, with unpopular programming languages. The lack of documentations and tutorials means people have to think, they can't copy and paste whatever they saw, that is indeed a very high bar for human.

When you don't know if you should start a developer tutorial channel. I have a good mic, 4 years dev experience and good editing skill. Should i?

If you write blogs and tutorials about programming,
Please don't just throw blocks of code at people. Explain what this code does, why you wrote it in this particular way and not the other, when people should use this technique and when they shouldn't. Also don't make your tutorial specific to a particular library/package unless you specify in the title.

Stop making blogs just for the sake of making them. Make blogs that help people become better. Advertise for your proficient and show others why you love it. Put some effort into your craft people!!

If your wordpress "tutorial" includes the words "just install {plugin->name}" then pack up your things and go home. We do a lot of wordpress development at work (don't throw things! it pays the bills!) and like any good dev I do a lot of googling. But every time I find one of these...things (I won't dignify them by calling them tutorials again) I want to stick a pencil in my eye!

Seeing so many posts of unsupportive family members makes me sad. :(

I was supported a lot by my family, got provided with all the books I wish for... In a time when there was no Stackoverflow or good tutorials.

I read most books during high school and got beat up for it... But look at me now! :D

I hate tutorials...but I rely on them

In a lecture hall
1. Try Listening to lecture
2. Finds it uninteresting
3. Think that you can later learn from video tutorials
4. One day before exam -- No time to learn..

Anyone know any good Electron tutorials for someone who has never used it?

How do you guess get into an open source project/understand it's structure?

Haven't found any manuals or tutorials

This is going to sound stupid to some.. I recently finished sololearns JavaScript course and I loved it but I want to learn more but I have no idea where to start.. I've been browsing tutorials on YouTube but it doesn't help too much.. does anyone have any suggestions?

Last month I asked my boss for some task to work on. He told me to stick to reading tutorials and wait just a day or two for the tasks.
Month just passed and no programming tasks arrived.
Should I change job?
Yesterday made quite nice looking CV.

Be me.
Learn angular for a project @ work.
Do the filter-page-by-textbox thing.
Type "nex" in search bar.
Not working.
Spend 3 hours reading tutorials and docs.
Realize all divs have "nex" in them.

Is it just me or do other people think those tutorials you run across on YouTube where it is just a screen recording and background music are super annoying. I would like at least a little explanation other than you typing in notepad.

I hate it when all tutorials fail to explain MVC in detail...

I achieved great confusion.

Sololearn and some random tutorials on the internet about Java and C#

Wtf why do some people create tutorials and start speaking Martian in between?

Girlfriend asked me to teach her some programming...

Should I teach her Scala (which I'm good at) or Java (at which I'm a bit worse, but online tutorials are more easily available)?

It's so annoying when people put up cover videos in the name of tutorials and don't even mention what chords they used 😣

just rent dedicated server, now need learn Linux commands and stuff and read lots tutorials.. :|

How annoying are video tutorials!!! You lose a lot of time trying to find the interesting point. If you jump over the video you will end losing the point and playing backwards...

Just picked this up for my goals this year. If I don't like it, I can always sell it off and I don't like having to switch between screens on my laptop for tutorials. Has anyone used How to Learn Python the Hard Way? Did you like it? Hate it?

Never trust unity video tutorials made by 5yo...

Code like this makes me shed a tear in nostalgia... also I want to murder somebody for still putting that in tutorials

I am a little bit old fadhioned when it comes to new dev tech stuff. I am at first, not an early adopter ( others should proof it first) and second I like to read books. If there is someone who has understood the matter and has written a book, then I go for it 😁 and third, when I have to use an early technology then the simplest thing is to read the doc to get a grasp what this is all about. Youtube as others describes is lame, because if you are forced to watch 40min when you are just interested in one small thing, you will loose a lot of time finding the relevant piece of content..

Positive on reading is, that you have to think for yourself!

YouTube tutorials then enough patience to read docs.

I appreciate people making tutorials to help people learn, but please, please, please, choose a different topic than creating a task list next time.

Does anybody know of any good kotlin tutorials/courses?

Any good tutorials for learning linux internals out there? I'm baffled by what are /etc, /opt, and so forth...

Seriously swimming in murky waters for now.

Also, what are your launchers of choice? I am contemplating should I dig into unity / dash, or try smth else?

SO MANY FUCKING API'S WITH EITHER NONE OR VERY OUTDATED FUCKING JS DOCUMENTATION. I have been working on a JS Discord bot and I want it to work with some API's to for example display the weather in a certain place... I can't find ANY FUCKING TUTORIALS THAT WORK. I feel like I'm just missing something important.

I feel like I'm utterly wasting away my life. I'd love to learn Rust, but the tutorials and The Book seem very boring. Suggest something to build using Rust.

Best professors I've ever had were the ones on free youtube tutorials and udemy classes. Often they seem to legitimately care more than actual professors.

Online instructors I've learned tons from:
Derek Banas
Bucky Roberts
The Net Ninja (don't know the name)
Maximillian Shwarzmüler
Colt Steele
Brad Traversy

I love the whole NodeSchool thing, so not really a dis to them - but this is a good example of some of the problems I have with web tutorials. I think things like npm should be explained before you have someone use them. Just like jQuery, you can end up with a majority of people taking parts of their stack for granted.

If you can understand the documentation then syntx tutorials aren't for you. And you're no beginner

I'm considering getting to learn to use Linux, however, I have No idea what distribution I should start out with, any recommendations? If you know a good tutorial to getting started, feel free to post :)

Programming video tutorials or pdf's , which will you go for and why?

I hate programming tutorials for a complicated language like c++ that are dedicated to absolute beginners of programming. If you've never coded before, why are you trying to learn c++?

When you're making a git tutorial and you forget to Ctrl+S before committing.....

I'm so PISSED OFF because of all the problem fixing I do. Most of the time, I take tutorials which have 6 steps a and 10 lines of code plus some config, and ALWAYS there is a problem somewhere, where it hasn't been covered in the guide. WHAT THE FLAMING FUCK? I literally spend days after days to figure out, that it's a problem with mostly one file/value, and no goddamn guide ever mentions the dependencies, if you don't have the defaults set for somewhat reason. And it's like this with every motherfucking tutorial I do to implement something, and most of the time I do understand what I'm doing, but THAT ONE VALUE/TRICK/FILE/SETTING/XML TAG/CODE TO A NUCLEAR SILO IS NEVER MENTIONED, WHY?!?!

thought to start my day by working on my android app

ended up in watching tutorials and other stuff without evening opening android studio

With the upcoming black friday I wanted to ask: is there any actual good sites offering quality paid tutorials/courses (doesn't have to be just programming) just like for example laracasts? I have quickly scrolled through lynda and skillshare and they seem to be rather investing into quantity rather than quality? I am sure somebody here uses some site and can give either good or bad feedback.

Nice tag suggestion by the way lol

I have trouble learning how stuff works from tutorials and docs. I'd rather go to git, clone the source and read the code.

Just installed Linux as the second OS on my computer and I'm ready to let Windows go. Any ideas on how I can improve my skill faster, other than a couple tutorials.

Planning to make a github list of usefull links on topics related to javascript,react,react native,redux etc . Drop usefull links if you have any. They can be tutorials,articles, talks,repos,packages etc.

If the function is deprecated, why is it still in the official examples/tutorials?

I discovered the Source Making website a couple weeks ago, it's awesome.

It gives you clear tutorials on the essential design patterns and refactoring techniques complete with example situations and code. Love it!

Trying to learn Angular and reactjs, reading up the tutorial or documentation...

Why the hell are there ten million more shit I need to look at first? (such as rxjs, Babel, webpack... and whatever the fuck they are)

Now am I supposed to master those ten million tools/libraries before I can proceed?

Of course there is no ten million but mentally it's no difference. I'm just fed up with this.

Part of my job involves researching a shitload of documentation and tutorials in order to have an established and well tested point of refference for the rest of the team. As a Django guy, I have always been happy with the plethora of tutorials and what not made available for this amazing framework. Until recently I had absolutely no clue that MDN had their own Django tutorial and I must say....I am impressed! I seldom recommend something over the already great tutorial made available by the Django page itself, but this one by MDN really is worth considerind for people starting into the framework. One can even see the love that they have for the framework just by reading the tutorials.

Kudos to MDN for creating such a great resource!

Can anyone point me to Android tutorials/resources using Kotlin? ( I don't know Java... Coming from iOS background)

I can't read a documentation 'til the end. I, on the first few parts, would be like: "Oh this documentation is so good. Why would someone need a tutorial for this?" And then suddenly: "What the fck is this sht? I don't understand life anymore." So I end up buying a course on Udemy cause all the other YouTube tutorials are rubbish.

Anybody have any great tutorials about web scraping with python? The data science courses I took only covered maipulauting and visualizing data not getting it.

Just wondering if any of you guys know Bucky Roberts (thenewboston) and his tutorials on youtube? He's been gone for months now, just wanted to know if I'm not alone

I wanted to make mods for Minecraft, so one day I went on Google and started doing some research. That day I found out about Java, I couldn't understand anything since my English skills back then were bad and because of that I couldn't follow the tutorials. As soon as I saw how programming looked like I fell in love with it immediately, even though I couldn't understand anything. After a couple of years I started watching tutorials on YouTube about c++ and then I moved onto C#, JavaScript, HTML, CSS. I learned a lot of stuff from online courses like free code camp, watching YouTube tutorials and reading some books.

I usually start watching tutorials or reading a book on the subject I'd like to learn. Then, I try to do something on my own. When I'm confident enough in my skills I begin to apply what I studied on actual work projects (when feasible).

I hate it when cordova/ionic tutorials have only been tested in browser and fail to work on the device

does anyone know where i can find fresh android tutorials ?
since all i found are old from 2014 and they no more work properly

Is there somebody with good linux script tutorials?

Everything is welcome.

It sucks so much when you want to learn and expand your skill set but can't because you cannot find any good resources.
I've been trying to get started with MVP and RxJava for android and have got nowhere yet because of unavailability of good starting codes/tutorials.
FML.

how to make a web browser?
just asking, there are some nice tutorials for making your own OS or text editor but i never saw a tutorial on making your own simple text web browser.

Trying to port a legacy Firefox add-on I didn't write to WebExtension. Failing so amazingly...

Vague explanations, no tutorials. Mdn has a nice documentation but no tutorials. What's up with that??

Also, JavaScript. And stuff I didn't write. Just perfect. 😑😑😑

1 year a go i took angular js 1 tutorials and I was good at it then . I start working with c# and asp a lot. And when I started learning angularjs 4 it was like learning another language WTF

What does self taught mean? I mean you go online and learn through tutorials, is that still self taught??

The Kotlin Koans tutorials are actually really helpful. This language feels really smooth; I like it. Now to actually make something with it...

Books, tutorials, documentation and reading/understanding code; whether it's mine or not.

How many of you make youtube video tutorials? How did you start and on what topic?

A lot of community projects today...
(i am doing one too)

Anyways, anyone have some good newtonsoft json tutorials?

I constantly get pestered by my cousin for being on my phone all of the time. He thinks I'm looking at memes (I do look at memes but who doesn't?) all of the time and other wasteful things, but in reality 3/4 of the time I'm looking at source code, tutorials or documentation. But I'll let him keep assuming. (;

Can't even find a proper way to learn android app development.. Some tutorials are way too basic and others way too advanced.. Even books arent of much help to me... I know the basics... How do i learn further :/ How do i code without having to look at some example every time ://

Watch youtube tutorials

Is it just me, or is it the worst possible time to jump into coding for Apple products?

I remember trying to figure out Xcode a few years back and making some small bit of headway. More recently it seems that all the old tutorials in Objective-C are out-of-date, and half the Swift ones won't compile because of mutually incompatible versions...

When you're a Youtuber and you're trying to grow your channel by making Unity tutorials. Oh the struggle :')

Most of the time while watching programming tutorials in YouTube, the pop up to purchase sublime text comes often...
Can't they afford to purchase it?

To be honest, me starting to code is just a moment when I suddenly decided that yeah, let's code. Then I learned HTML and Javascript, basically just bulldozing through whatever tutorials I can find before ending up choosing IT in university.

last week i finished writing my first Python 3 script, I knew nothing I read no tutorials I just searched for the functions I needed in the docs. it's a script for a game I play to automatically download and run the maps based on a id I put in a text file might add it on GitHub later to get some comments.

How do people make clones without tutorials!? 😭😭

I'm tryna clone bleacher report but have no clue where to start cause they're no guides anywhere

I worked with a guy who paid someone to build an app for him. I went home that night and started reading. Books, online tutorials, hackathon at what some consider the number one tech college in the country. Most of all, A LOT OF PEOPLE TELLING ME, NO!

It turns out that "El chapo" is featured in Angular Tutorials

Lesson of the day: First read installation tutorials for software on linux completely before doimg esch step without knowing the rest...

Don't know if Kotlin is actually a lang for the future or again some hipe-shit.
Tried some tutorials, and I reeeaaally liked it.

Any toughts?

My boss makes me do the work for a different team that keeps claiming they're learning programming but keep taking basic ass tutorials all fucking day.

Supposedly up-to-date tutorials and github samples that just don't work.

Ok I fucking give up, does anyone know of any tutorials on adding custom languages and syntax highlighting to VS code, I followed what little readable documentation overlord Microsoft has given and still no fucking clue, help!

I really want to start making tutorials. What do you guys think i should start with?

nothing personal, but fuck you all who are responsible for these mobile game tutorials where i can't even disable sound until i finish it.

1) Browse high level documentation on the matter.
2) Find a semi-guided source of in-depth material (usually a book).
3) Start working with the technology.
4) Supplement with YouTube tutorials if necessary.
5) Fail initially.
6) Eventually succeed after much persistence.

People who dont update their tutorials. Things get deprecated every few months and the least they could do is add a description on how to do the task in newer versions.

have to learn backbone and marionettee to continue a legacy project. All the tutorials are 2010-2014. Shit I just played with react 2 weeks ago.

I want to begin in reverse-engineering.
Creating or beginning to create an emulator stimulates me. Can someone give me some tutorials, keywords, links to where I should search if anyone knows this kind of stuff ?

-Coworkers who know when to listen and when to give advice
-Problems that are difficult to stretch me but not frustrate me
-A language with good documentation or tutorials
-a product that I'm passionate about
-a ping pong table to help me stay awake
-coffee
-a environment that encourages learning new technologies
-good pay

laravel tutorials

Then suddenly my boss wants me to handle servers and the environment etc... can anybody suggest me some site tutorials about Docker, Dockerhub, Celery and RabbitMQ?

The feeling of incompetence when you realize all your life you've copied and extended tutorial code from the internet. So much so, that the thought of coding from line 0 sends a chill down your spine.

So let me get this straight.
- You propose a tutorial about how to create an e-commerce website using Laravel, with a shitty powerpoint-like display
- We have to click "next" to learn the basics of PHP, MVC, Laravel, Mix and such, while all I need to know is about the payment system and global logic
- On the last PowerPoint, you suddenly decide that you should finally think about displaying some actual code while all before was theoric class
- So the last powerpoint page is 45 times longer than any other previous pages.

- Of course, there was nothing about what I was looking for.

You should consider stop wasting everyone's time as a 2018 new resolution.

Wait at least an year.

Bcuz after an year, there are enormous amounts of tutorials in youtube that are easier to understand than the official documentation.

(Read the Docs (!fan))

Any good Git/GitHub tutorials out there? I just can't figure out how to use it (yeah, noob here)

Thinking of learning node.js. I have experience in front-end development and PHP but lots of people are raving about node. Anyone know any good blogs or tutorials as a starting point?

Okay... I am more than annoyed. 😵😵😵 I've been trying for days to get 2 small dockerized Spring REST-Services to communicate with each other. Without docker the services work fine with each other. I've tried many tutorials, examples, hints online and so on and none works or does something else. There is so much deprecated stuff or huge tutorials where I have to install 1000 other useless things. I kinda feel like this Microservice Stuff is a myth or I'm just stupid. Even my partner has no clue.

My first dev job after vocational high school is being an android dev, still on 2.1.

Small amount of tutorials for doing basic stuffs, no libraries that makes life easier, my english sucks and no idea how to java.

Oh and i did the backend too.

But at least i got paid 150$ a month which is nice than being an unemployed

Been thinking about taking up server-side programming (I'm mobile).

Any tips?

Should I go with something like node.js, which I'm a bit familiar with and is quite popular or should I try another language/platform? Maybe Rust (given it's similar to Swift) or even Swift itself.

Any good resources (tutorials, guides, etc.) would be much appreciated, especially if they focus on security.

Cheers!

"None" - I srsly miss a good mentor in my life.

Got loads of tips/good tutorials, obviously

Hope I am this to my Juniors / Ex Junior Colleagues

Any Xamarin devs here? I wanna learn Xamarin but couldn't find any good books or tutorials. Any suggestions? And are there any special requirements to learn Xamarin other than C#?

P.S. I'm learning UWP development now. And you can still call me a noob.

Looking at other people's source code, documentation, video tutorials...

Was trying getting started with javascript(actually web dev) by creating a simple app.
All i saw in tutorials were dozens of *JS and *CSS frameworks. What are the web guys upto?

Me: (lying peacefully with my legs touching sky and scrolling through some tutorials on my phone)

Dad: (frustrated seeing me in that posture) Everyone should be given a phone and you should start making something like a head gear that will hold that thing on thier eyes! Isn't that a "cool idea" you keep looking for your startup?

Me:

What the actual fuck is MSDN doing? I'm struggling for a whole goddamn month to make a WCF service used for only authenticating users. MSDN has around 4 different tutorials on this, from which one has a project to download, but the fucking link is not working, another one lacks basic information about the problem, and the rest of them are just a mess of links to solutions working when you are using a ASP web page. In the end, I'll probably find a single unmentioned issue, and it will work, but seriously, why the flaming fuck would you put solutions so broken, that even when copy pasting it it doesn't work at all?
