Start with chapter one, do every single exercise, then come back and ask again.

I know about the main books, I'm asking online.
also, is that book available for free(legally)?
inb4 the wizard book/SICP

Codeacademy

that's a meme website with meme programming languages. there is no C, and I think not even java. a lot of stuff on javascript... the kind of place I'd rather avoid.

>>61578195
well if you dont want to use the 'hipster' websites your stuck to books or youtube

What would you like to do with "programming"?

Stanford open courseware - CS106A followed by 106B at minimum, then branch out. MIT also has good courses on assembly

Is there a website with hundreds of extremely basic challenges in C, for beginners? I am very uncreative and have no use for programming, but I assume I will acquire motivation once I'm actually good at it.

Nenecchi uses C++ any reason I should learn this instead?

OP, just use the SICP. No troll.

I don't, please elaborate.

no she learned C first

If you have to ask OP you shouldn't be programming.

I actually used it for a quick refresher on JavaScript and for learning some jQuery. Had enough basic information for me to sift out the functions I needed at the time.

My university has a library and the ones next door do too and no one chekcs whether you are a student or not.
They have the newest standards for everything in multiple versions always on hand, so i can spend afternoons there and read stuff while drinking my freshly brewed cowfee. Shit's comfy.

As for plebs, go and download some epubs of basic standards and read this shit.

I don't learn programming online. I go to community college like a normal person and receive a balanced education. I don't care about the degree. I care about the knowledge that I obtain.

This is a good perspective and will take you far. Keep your ear to the ground about any good transfer opportunities to a four year university. Community college libraries often don't have the same kind of access to academic journals as a good four year university.

All the usual shit pdfs of books codeacademy lynda and other videos thanks to my work get involved in open source do lots of projects but the secret is persistence.

Begginer here, reading SICP helped a lot. I also read "The C Programming Language" but it's more of a dictionnary than a programming book.

Can someone give me a step by step on how to use an api? I understand the theory behind it but actually implementing it. I don't have the first clue on where to start. I'm trying to use freegeoip. I downloaded go and the project itself but i have no clue how i'm supposed to actually code any of this.

>Can someone give me a step by step on how to use an api?
Say you wrote some code that accepts a number and returns that number +1 and put it in a function. You then call that function multiple times with different numbers. That's pretty basic programing.

Now instead of that function being in your code its in somebody else's code and you call that function by using an API. Basically the same thing, just a few more steps.

freegeoip takes an ip/hostname and returns some info on it (in various formats). You call it by accessing a webpage like https://freegeoip.net/json/google.ca

This causes the following output

{"ip":"2607:f8b0:4004:80a::2003","country_code":"US","country_name":"United States","region_code":"","region_name":"","city":"","zip_code":"","time_zone":"","latitude":37.751,"longitude":-97.822,"metro_code":0}

Which can be easily parsed by your program. How do you get some web content using your program? Google that. Someone's probably already wrote a library for doing that sort of thing.

>You call it by accessing a webpage like https://freegeoip.net/json/google.ca
So if I wanted to use this I would have my program go to that address and open the browser, then parse the webpage and then store the values of that object onto variables and then let my program continue running. Websites change all of the time how do I know that the format will stay the same or is it always static?

>>61582873
You wouldn't open a browser, most high level programming languages have inbuilt functions for fetching webpages.
>Websites change all of the time how do I know that the format will stay the same or is it always static?

That's part of the risk in developing your software around an API, APIs change.
