@Starjams CodeWars is great to practice mini concepts too
-
- Decide what kind of job you want/what you'll be dealing with
- Find out the fundamental things you need to know for that role
- Research a great, well recommended, absolute beginners course to teach you what you need to know (free/paid, videos/books/text whatever works)
- Start the course and stick to it, it's very easy to get distracted with the next shiny thing you see but keep at what you're doing
- Whenever you feel ready (preferably while you're working through the course/book/whatever) start practicing you skills by making small real life projects, these will teach you the fine details of what you need to know
- For a job in the industry: Build a portfolio and start applying for jobs even if you don't feel totally ready, no one really does ;)
- Good luck!
For web dev (both front end and back end) have a look at freeCodeCamp and The Odin Project and see if you like them, they guide you through a lot of this process and are great communities and resources -
Linus Tech Tips not Linus the creator of Linux, btw

Nursery in the UK, blimey get us a cuppa gov

Or get an Android phone that's actually good..?

Those are good mornings 😊

Around 69 probably

At least it wasn't green
-
I'm a fan of Monokai dark, it looks so colourful
-
NinjaMock is good and free, make sure to unsubscribe from their emails though...
-
What is this forbidden magic?
-
$ cat /dev/null
-
That just sounds like you pee'd yourself
-
`!*` will return all arguments of the previous command eg:
$ vi ~/.bash_profile
$ source !*
to edit your .bash_profile and source it -
@Frederikam Exactly what I was after, thanks!
-
I love these fake O'Reilly book covers, does anyone know where to find a collection of loads of them to show to fellow devs?
-
Have you tried to vertical align stuff yet?

"I can't timebox unkowns" is going to be my new comeback for ridiculous request like that in the future
-
Learnt Java from a youtube tutorial series and two books. Took me about 2 years on and off to get good at it but definitely worth it!
-
@kamen Obviously, what else are rants for?
-
5 year licence on a cheap domain? Maybe set up a personal website for a portfolio or something
-
@FelisPhasma Even remotely in something like Github?
-
YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT I AM AND AREN'T, MOOOOM!!
-
The Linux Command Line (No Starch Press) is a great book imo
-
@Player2
-
Isn't it '!=='? Rather than '!==='
-
In my experience any monthly subscription for beginning learning programming is not worth the money because there is always something else that's free and probably better. Save the money for when you know a bit more and can spend it on more advanced stuff you can't get for free
-
Get VirtualBox and run Ubuntu in a virtual machine. It will be a bit slow but you can mess around with with Linux and the terminal without having to worry about breaking anything!
Have fun and learn to use a great tool -
How about:
def main
