Honestly any of you have experience, of just fucking learning how to do something after a day of work. i.e. coding
I'm going to have a family soon and want my kids to have the oppurtunity to have live "well" before they start working too
Best way to learn code after day of waging

hey OP,
check out scrimba for front-end stuff , it's quite easy to follow.
And on top of free resources I get extra guides on python, C/C++ , C# , Java on Udemy (some are free).
Generally speaking once you have the basics the documentation is enough.
There are tons of tutorials on YT but I find it not engaging enough if I don't code along.
For everything else there's StackOverflow.
Nathaniel Robinson
Do it during your lunch breaks or during work discreetly. If you're truly ambitious, before the work. It's impossible to truly learn after a day of wage cucking. I've tried and the only way is to do it while you still have energy.
Ethan Kelly
once you are able to do leetcode hards within 1 hour and leetcode mediums within 20 minutes you will be ready for a job
Lincoln Howard
Thank you for time anons.
My next question is how you personally achieved learning
(I don't if its a disability or not but I can only "learn" is via imitation) How did you guys do it?
Noah Perry
my favorite thing about programming is you can just view it like btc, a long, with huge upside. Take 20-30 minutes, maybe more and slowly apply yourself to a project, a simple game or app or something, eventually you will have either something to show for it, learned a lot or ideally both
Gavin Hill
Just make something.
Probs best to learn Python.
Pick something relatively simple and make it, googling as you go.
Your code will probably be shit but who cares.
Noah Smith
Unless you’ve been a computer person growing up or have experience your best bet is a Comp Sci program or a boot camp.
I’m self taught but I was writing scripts for my Debian laptop when I was 13. Currently make six figs as a 22 yo college dropout Software Engineer. It’s not impossible if you have no experience, but I’ve just met so many people who try to learn how to code but they just don’t have the chops for it. Whether it be just not really understanding how computers work or lack or work ethic. I’d recommend checking out Jow Forums and asking there, you’ll likely get better answers.
Good luck OP.
Matthew Carter
dont learn python first OP you would be doing yourself a huge disservice not to understand a compiled language first
Juan Torres
This. Learning Python is like becoming a retard instead of pretending to be a retard.
Brayden Miller
I existed as a hikikomori for more or less a decade, I always been in front of a computer screen. (regret it now)
How did 13 y/o get into it?
I never truly applied myself to anything besides finding a job and sticking to it to help look after my fiance 5 years ago
David Bailey
But what to learn then, I'm interested into this too.
Benjamin Howard
you should start with a language like C/C++, Java or C#. You wont see immediate "wow i made a website/game " type stuff like you would from JS, Python but it is essential that you actually learn fundamentals without abstracting away too much. My friend learned C++ at uni and learned Python after he graduated in like a week and got a job in Python because they were impressed with how well he knew it. Learn something more complex, the hard way and then everything else is easier to pick up(and you NEED to be able to pick up stuff quickly in this industry)
Isaiah Taylor
Ok, thanks fren, really appreciate this.
Jayden Sullivan
You can start with Java and spring boot. It's never been easier than now. First challenge will be configuring your windows machine. If you can start on Linux it's easier.
Sebastian Watson
I suggest Javascript. Compared to Python, Javascript easier to learn, its syntax is much more forgiving, it has much better performance, and it's much more ubiqutous.
Easton Jones
C++ for gaming/hardware optimizing applications like music software
C for low level systems
Java for Object-oriented enterprise software/Mobile apps, lots of documentation and resources to help
C# is basically windows version of Java, same uses but its a little "better" and less verbose, but a more niche market
Charles Fisher
LISP is GOAT
Joshua Rivera
dont listen to these people user, you could interpreted languages like nothing if you were an advanced C++ user etc
Zachary Foster
im learning Java right now and some of t he JVM languages like Kotlin and Scala are actually excellent and have interop with java, its comfy to branch out into a family of newcomers that share the similar backbone
Leo Lewis

The fact that you work programming doesn't mean you will be making a lot of money. There's lots of people who get paid dick doing it. I wouldn't recommend it unless you like soul-sucking mental illness inducing work.
Anthony Johnson
OP here
You seem wise and I don't want to invade your niche but what code do you specialize user?
Aaron Ross
To be honest, both of those are true.
Ryder Thomas
Started out with building PCs for gaymes, then started getting into Linux and wrote simple scripts for desktop customization, took AP Comp Sci when I was 14 and have been programming as a hobby since. Went to school for Comp Sci at a big public university, hated it, dropped out and got a job.
Hunter Jackson
Dont really have a niche yet but I am leaning towards Linux/Systems because I love learning UNIX commands in the shell, and feel like cybersecurity might be a long term goal because of how varied it can be. Right now im just doing like generic software engineering learning about networks,regex, serialization
Ethan Edwards
You don't learn to run before you learn to walk. Harder languages like C++ are much easier to learn once you know the basics.
Blake Mitchell
sure but why not learn the basics in a language like C/ C++ so when you need to use other languages its that much easier? The last thing I want is some bootcamp JS brainlet writing critical systems code
Jace Young
No we just learn to fly instead.
Thomas Hernandez
If you're serious about learning stuff, I'd suggest you check out the MIT open courses they have. Totally free online lectures for a lot of CS stuff. Not strictly needed for "learning how to code" but if you ever want to write actual software you'll learn useful stuff.
Ian Nelson
Thanks
Carson Rivera
Programming languages are just tools. If you see them as extensions of your ego, then you're approaching it the wrong way.
Nathaniel Clark
yea thats true it could be a non-specific brainlet writing bad code. point still stands about learning "programming" the hard way however
Joshua Morgan
Don't learn anything low level like C/C++. It's simply not worth it. You'll be wasting tremendous amounts of time gaining insight into things that simply don't matter. And you won't ever produce anything valuable in those languages.
Henry Hall
not even trying to bait correctly
Kayden Adams
This is the correct answer. Do it discreetly during work and before/after.
Adam Stewart
>learning asp.net stack instead of MERN in the year 2019
lmfao
William Ortiz
.net core is going to shit on all those javashit stacks, if it isn’t already. No one wants to write that loosely typed garbage, unless you’re some faggot basedboy webshit Dev making JavaScript buttons and scroll bars.
Luke Robinson
retard the most advanced websites are all using React/Angular right now
.net is for literal incel boomers
Isaiah Roberts
wew thought i was on Jow Forums for a second
