"These are all basic things, you'll probably learn them like in the first week" - 3 weeks later and I'm starting to think I'm dumb.

+iLoveTurtlesHaha All good man. Probably shouldn't have said just 1 week. Everyone's pacing going to be different, it's not a race. It's just like breaking =) Some people just pick it up faster than others. haha

Actually, my problem isn't really understanding individual concepts but rather how they all fit together. So before I can get all the fundamentals covered, I panic and start over from the beginning fearing that I may have missed something. I'm fighting the urge to do that this time and I'm going to just learn all the fundamental stuff then piece them together. I think this might be a better approach. Also, this vid is helping, I took notes from it and I'm using it to make sure I cover everything. Thanks for the encouragement and pointers.

you can't learn programming in a week. You can start to kind of understand things. Also after few months, understandable things become obvious and those at first unintelligible begin to make sense :D ...So by now if you continue learning you are experiencing exactly what i wrote.

The very first thing you should learn to do in any programming language is write comments. Write down the steps of your algorithm before you write the code. Most people neglect to comment their code adequately, which makes maintaining the code much harder.

Nice list. I liked that you included Databases and Networking. Some stuff I came across that struck me as "universal" topics/concepts that are often used: 1. String IO/Manipulation (know the language's "string" class well) 2. Regular expressions & regex syntax, globbing (useful to know for scripting tasks) 3. How to work with dates/time (know how the language represents date/time, e.g., Python's datetime module) 4. Argument Parsing (for command-line applications) 5. Unit Testing/Testing Framework (moving beyond simply invoking your functions to test it) 6. Generating log files (best learned in the context of Python and C#/.NET) 7. File-system manipulation (how to programmatically move around e.g., Python's OS module) 8. Syntax for multidimensional arrays 9. Design patterns for the kind of software you're writing

Exactly what I was looking for. I'm actually studying Kotlin. And I'm doing well with the code thus far, but Idk what it all means or how to apply it. So, I'm trying to pick up programming basics, structure, concepts, etc. I think it would help me more with my "courses." I'm teaching myself, so I have to figure it all out on my own with the help of YT, SkillShare, and Udemy. Very good video for a complete newbie like me. Lol I think my head is spinning, but I love a challenge. This might be the most challenging thing I've taught myself so far! I have no programming or java experience. I'm relying on the Force and a lot of coffee and videos😂

Great videos, but anyway what do you think about frameworks? I realized frameworks hide lots of things of languages and adds lots of stuffs in the same time. Sometimes I feel I have to learn a "new language" when I pick up a new framework.

Or should I just stick to the Full Stack?

@DaveXiang 7 жыл бұрын

I would recommend you really understand the Internet and how web applications are run. You will not understand this by just following frameworks and languages. You're on the right track, but make sure you know bigger picture things. You don't get good at programming by just understanding how to program. If that makes sense =)

How long does it take to learn a language are we talking months how many hours? Perhaps one could buy a course book for Python I have one I want to start with but I also want to improve my bash scripting language its rusty at best and lacks the the level I want to have so lots of work to do. And need to study for my cert exam want to do that one before the end of the year hope I can do all of that reading all the comments here is really motivating;-)

@DaveXiang 8 жыл бұрын

+samdeur I would say on the order of months if you do it pretty full time. You can never really fully learn every part of a language. You become proficient, then you start keeping up and refining it as it updates and changes.

@samdeur 8 жыл бұрын

thx ..repetition is the name of the game i guess..for my certification project i made a couple of exercise to practice key skills and repeat them once every weeks so i don't forget them..Perhaps one needs to do this with a couple of languages ?

@karlotilaon5621 8 жыл бұрын

omg .. I think I have only learned 10 percent of what you have outlined T_T, I am an undergrad C.S. student. I only have one year to go, 2 or 3 senior classes left. Did you learn most of these while working in the industry ?

@DaveXiang 8 жыл бұрын

+Dapft Mazzini Yes. A lot of what I've learned in school was a bit more abstract and theory and concepts. The stuff I outlined here is really the most practical stuff you need to learn a language and make yourself useful. Most of it you'll gain while working or if you specifically seek to learn them outside school.

@karlotilaon5621 8 жыл бұрын

+Dave Xiang, Do I need to start studying independently,like outside of my college curriculum, I really feel like some of the computer science classes I am taking are filler classes, designed to rack up money. In these classes most of the time we talk about theories, nothing practical such as learning a new language or knowing how to incorporate networking (sockets) to a program,etc. I might be complaining a bit early since I have a few more senior classes, but I can't think of a way for them to squeeze all of these concepts to those few classes. In my school we have only been thought C++ and Java, which I feel is a low-ball. Should they have thought us a couple of other languages?

@DaveXiang 8 жыл бұрын

+Dapft Mazzini You'll learn more languages in practice. During school, they don't care about teaching you many languages. I only used C and Java during school, 2 languages. The language matters less when you're learning concepts. I hope they're not lowballing you, that would be really really whack. I doubt any self respecting curriculum or school would do that though. Anyways, if you feel like you need to pick stuff on the side then go for it.

@karlotilaon5621 8 жыл бұрын

In reality I think not, I guess the scope of C.S. is overwhelming, that most of the stuff that I think that matters is not discussed in the cirriculum, hence the feeling of being low-balled. but if what you say is true, my C.S. department is just like any decent institution. They barrage us with concepts everyday. The conversion of algo. to codes is left to us, using either C++ or Java. What language do you use most often while working in a work project?

@stannisbaratheon1329 8 жыл бұрын

+Dapft Mazzini I learned C++ and Java in school. I have been in industry for two years now working with Java, the more popular language according to the TIOBE index. However, C++ is a much more efficient and powerful language. We waste so much time because Java is so verbose. I would rather go back to C++.
