Learn to code: Make thousands, possible millions.

[Huellz Santana]

If you have good logic, it's not that hard but it's not that easy. Don't let that "Hello World" rock you to sleep.

alot of dreams gonna be crushed. this thread got everybody hype. i sent it to my homie and he was like "we need to develop an app" I'm like "you're right."



dude has never coded in his life. props for putting this up tho.​

LOL.. I tried to start a game with a couple of people @ my job who work at the help desk, they were all geared up, I even gave them a couple of my books to start.

This was about a month ago, they dont even respond to my emails anymore about progress.

Being a programmer is not about how many languages you know the syntax of. It's about having a sense of logic and knowing fundamental data structures, algorithms, programming concepts/paradigms and being able to use that knowledge to design your own sh!t
another thing is you are probably never going to get any good if what drives you is money. thriving to constantly challenge yourself will make you a better programmer
Here's a good example based on the classic Tower of Hanoi problem:

Facebook hiring sample test

Question 1 / 1


There are K pegs. Each peg can hold discs in decreasing order of radius when looked from bottom to top of the peg. There are N discs which have radius 1 to N; Given the initial configuration of the pegs and the final configuration of the pegs, output the moves required to transform from the initial to final configuration. You are required to do the transformations in minimal number of moves.
A move consists of picking the topmost disc of any one of the pegs and placing it on top of anyother peg.
At anypoint of time, the decreasing radius property of all the pegs must be maintained.


Constraints:
1<= N<=8
3<= K<=5


Input Format:
N K
2nd line contains N integers.
Each integer in the second line is in the range 1 to K where the i-th integer denotes the peg to which disc of radius i is present in the initial configuration.
3rd line denotes the final configuration in a format similar to the initial configuration.


Output Format:
The first line contains M - The minimal number of moves required to complete the transformation.
The following M lines describe a move, by a peg number to pick from and a peg number to place on.
If there are more than one solutions, it's sufficient to output any one of them. You can assume, there is always a solution with less than 7 moves and the initial confirguration will not be same as the final one.

The most important skills a great programmer can know is algorithm development, logic, discrete mathematical concepts and critical thinking. The code can be found on the internet with a simple search, it's knowing what code to search for (or to write) that is the most important.

... learning php security at the moment... so many conflicting arguments.

If you have the attention span of a toddler, don't even bother. Coding takes a lot of time and just sitting and looking. Even experienced programmers will tell you to think twice before becoming one.

 

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

do not loose hope...success is not easy...if it was easy...everyone would be successful...extremely...

keep at it...

might have to outsource...and if you outsource...gotta have a good marketing plan and properly manage the developers/coders to also get the application live and successful...

Just wanted to big up this powerful thread. I do a lot of client side stuff, with a general knowledge of what code to "cut and paste" to get my sites interactive...

I gotta say tho, for n00bs you need to stay ahead of the game for the ninety-now. HTML5 integrates everything on one plate and actually simplifies a lot of the old strict W3C mumbo jumbo, so you can actually get up and running with less confusion and get some wam in your pockets.

Not to mention since we all gotta be "responsive" nowadays getting your jQuery mobile game up to par you will be in no time.

For all my Zuckerberg cats cakin up off this sh*t holla at me if you wanna get fresh on em, one.

Computer programming skills are becoming increasingly valuable in today's labor market, but the cost of a computer science degree can be unattainable for some. Now, Orlando-based web education start-up Treehouse is offering a "scholarship" program to help college students learn to code at no cost.

Treehouse announced on Thursday it would be offering $3 million worth of its online education services to 2,500 college students for free. The students will be chosen based on an application essay and those selected will receive a two-year Gold subscription--usually worth $49 per month--for two years.

"College is so riduclously expensive, and we're trying to save a couple of people from going into debt," Treehouse founder and CEO Ryan Carson says. "We can give you a scholarship to Treehouse and help you get the skills you need for a technical career for a couple hundred dollars instead of $100,000."

The education platform offers classes (via video) in a variety of web development categories, such as CSS, HTML5 and iOS. When a student completes a lesson, they get a "badge" to show to potential employers. "You can be job ready on Treehouse in three to six months," Carson adds.

Treehouse, launced in the fall of 2011, recently added an in-house job placement team to aid customers in finding employment, but as of now, the company has not facilitated any hires. The company claims, however, that many of its former students earn thousands of dollars per month as web development freelancers.

Treehouse closed a $600,000 seed funding round last fall and a $4.75 million funding round this April. Reid Hoffman, co-founder of professional social network LinkedIn, is one of Treehouse's early investors. The company claims to have 12,000 paying customers and Carson projects the company will earn more than $3 million in revenue this year.

Students hoping to take advantage of the offer must have a valid .edu email address and have until September 19 to apply. (The application form can be found here.)

im going to have to check this out

do u gotta be good at math to be proficient in IT?

 

[BrothaZay]

Great thread

 

[Poppa_Dock]

do u gotta be good at math to be proficient in IT?

mainly just problem solving

lots of programming teachers and people like to make it sound more complicated than it is in order for them to seem important , and it is complicated but its more about problem solving then being a math wiz

basically the phrase "think like a computer" will be the thing you will mostly rely on IMO

ur basically just solving problems with the tools the program language has given you

it kind of bothers me when i hear of people just copying and pasting code though im guessing no big companies hire those ppl i couldn't imagine getting thrown into a project with a dude who only ever copy and pasted but never could actually wrap his head around the code

fukkin nightmare
