your retarded for using codecademy

brian = "Hello life!"

>>61242550
>your

>>61242540
Yes Brian, you are retarded.

>>61242555
ahhh, thank you sir. I thought I had to first indicate the name as a variable as in "name" but I can use the name straight away, I see. Thanks

I'm BRAND new to coding, but I love it. It's very fun

>>61242552
I'm 26, but you gotta start somewhere. I'm a graphic designer but now I want to code.

brian = 'Hello life!'

>>61242540
Thanks OP for boosting my confidence
But seriously get tested you IQ is dangerously low

Then drop codecademy immediately. Go read "Python The Hard Way" or better yet just start reading K&R 2nd Ed, it's pretty intuitive.

>>61242918
What do you recommend for Java or cpp?

>>61242540
Try assigning "brian" instead of "Brian"

>>61242918
>"Python The Hard Way"
That's shit and literally just print statements.
Read https://automatetheboringstuff.com instead.

lol no

Monty Python teaches Python was a missed opportunity.

just get a good programming book and install a compiler.
>Coding
For fuck fake don't call it coding.

>>61242540
brian = "Hello life!"

brian is your variable

>>61243076
Brian is a faggot

>>61243070

>using a compiled language to learn programming

no

it's a bait thread you dumb fucks

>>61243015
Agreed, automate the boring stuff is great.

>>61242787
I love old lectures like this.

C is a great way to start

top fucking kek spotted the future C++ progrommer
give up, you are not going to make it

>>61243743

no it isn't.

C is a good way to confound computer science with hardware design

>>61243015
>>61243044
Well whatever, I don't use Python, I just know codecademy is even worse.

>>61242985
Java to get the hang of basics, then C++. C++ has too much feature-creep and unusual combinations of design practices to be a good starter language.

>>61243799
So what language would you recommend to freshmeat?

>>61243838
You cannot go wrong with Python. Ignore idiots who say otherwise.

>>61242918
Python The Hard Way is absolute garbage, and Zed Shaw has on multiple occasions demonstrated that he's an idiot. CodeAcademy is kind of shit too I suppose.
Read Think Python if you want a book on Python.

>Well whatever, I don't use Python,

Then why were you presumptuous enough to recommend learning material for it?

>>61243838
>So what language would you recommend to freshmeat?

freshmeat first step = SICP

then you can start on this list

Worse than Zed "Python 3 is not Turing Complete" Shaw?

you tell me

>>61243946
So, because you need to wait 0.00004 seconds before you can run your first programs it's not worth it?

Fuck the future when you going to make some more complex programs and bug catching becomes easy, because lol that 0.0004 seconds for that hello world really turned you off.

>>61243916
>SICP
Yes that's a pretty good first step.

Why?

Here is the great irony of the whole reddit-spacing thing. It's actually 4chan spacing. It predates reddit and was used on 4chan first. You guys are literally too young to actually know this and the userbase has grown quite rapidly during your time, enough to drown out old memes. Your generation is not actually conscious. You are entirely unaware of the real history because you were not there for it, so you look to Reddit, which actually inherited it from 4chan, and you confuse where it came from with where you are seeing it now.

It would be like going to America, eating spaghetti, going to Italy, eating spaghetti, and then saying "lul American cuisine". You are all confused children and just do not really know what you are talking about or even understand where things come from.

But the spacing itself was born from 4chan, largely because of how poorly walls of text display and because it was easier to read that way. If you doubt this, just take a look at the Stanford 4chan archives from 2008. https://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260

While yes, Reddit existed in 2006, but no one from that time period would have used it. Meanwhile, 4chan had existed for several years at that point and the spacing convention had already been adopted. You guys were just not there, I was. I can prove this if I go through that archive, find my old tripcode, and show that spacing convention in use even then.
