How did /g/ start learn programming?

I sgined up for CS at university after I found out how much money you could make by doing it.

I installed Swift Playgrounds on my iPad Pro

why is her chin so weird?

>>61810261
that her lip brudda

>>61810269
>lip all the way down to her very fucking outline
why can't moe anime into anatomy?

>>61810283
shes looking downward and would you expect a cartoon not to have stylized facial expressions?

Took a VB course is high school and forgot about it
Took the intro to programming course in college (Java) and the rest is history ;-)

>>61810283
That particular shot is not supposed to be anatomically correct. The anatomy is exaggerated for expressivity. Specifically it's meant to hyperbolously express how hard she's concentrating.

>>61810269
>her

>>61810291
I would expect any human to have lips, not a fucking outline for a mouth
>>61810301
I can grasp the concept of shit like .3. faces which it's trying to imitate but this shit is far too stylized.

>>61810240
And how much money do you make now?

>>61810361
190k USD a year

>>61810366
Fuck, if you can get that much from programming, I might actually consider a GED and a College degree

and where do you work?

That's a very low bar anon.

So you want to learn programming?

Pick a starting language. For beginners, there are generally two recommended "programming families" that you can choose to start learning:
-Dynamically typed/interpreted programming languages, such as: Python, Perl, Ruby
-Statically typed/compiled programming languages, such as: C, C++, C#

These are amongst the most popular languages in use worldwide, including 4 from the top 5. Both approaches are perfectly fine, and well-documented.
-Dynamically typed programming may be a bit more flexible, convenient, and forgiving. It is more popular in academia.
-Statically typed programming is a bit more suited for making general applications. It is more popular in industries.

Cannot decide? Flip a coin.

If you choose statically typed/compiled programming, you may want to start with C, then pick up C++. C is very well documented, and teaches many universal programming concepts. C++ is based on C, and adds new concepts. Sources:
For C:

If you choose dynamically typed/interpreted programming, you may want to start with Python. It is very easy to pick up. Here are some good sources:

>BUT I WANNA START WITH [language x] INSTEAD!
Sure, if you like. But the languages above are considered good for beginners.

>BUT I WANNA MAKE A COOL WEBSITE!
Learn HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

>BUT I WANNA MAKE iPHONE GAMES!
Learn Objective C and/or Swift.

>BUT I WANNA MAKE ANDROID GAMES!
Learn Java.

>BUT I WANNA MAKE PC GAMES!
Learn patience.

As for me personally: Did not know anything about programming until I entered college. "Introduction to C" was the best course ever! It was like playing digital lego, but with even more freedom!

bought a book from barnes and noble when I was a freshman in high school and learned me some C++. It served me well when I took AP Java since I already knew everything. went to uni for CS after that. although there is zero reason why you couldn't just get the textbook and learn the same thing.

Got a MSX as a kid and basic was my favorite game.

Slaves? No, lol. Not slaves... more like indentured servants.

TI-84+ motherfuckers
Programmed minesweeper and battleship by hand.
Then I learned Java with an O'Reilly book and my productivity went to zero, which burned me out for a while. Currently using Go and avoiding OOP, namely methods and interfaces. Feels good. Most structs should not have methods.
