Yeah, and pack an old, clunky computer and keep it running to stay warm.

Mate, seriously, you are up Shit Creek without a paddle on this one.

Yellowknife is a better option. They have Wifi there.

How to code: 1. Type in google: your language of choice + problem 2. Click 1st StackOverflow link 3. Copy 1st answer like a fucking lazy bum

you forgot about changing variables to suit your code. if you do this you will be 100x better than random pajeet.

Codewars.com is pretty good. :)

Just pick an ultra lightweight language like Scheme or something

Or Lua

Yeah 6 month will be enough for the basics.

Nah. It took me from 0 to Java standalone apps with backends in a few months and I'm pretty thick. It just takes a driving passion to learn.

Not too sure why you are being down voted. Would be nice if they could he bothered to argue against your point.

6 months? If you're actually highly dedicated and put in an hour a day, you could get pretty damn good in like 3-4 months. Most courses (1)
AmiEvilYet
at post secondaries require a similar workload and can get you going at a basic competency level in a similar time frame (2).

I agree if it's about implementing, but to learn to come up with good solutions for new or complex problems takes more experience.

I completed an entire Uni assignment in C++ in 3 hours. Thank god for Google and programming friends.

You mean you cheated?

But then you get to the assignments where you gotta process complex data using externals, and foreign functions.

And what about the last .2 hours?

That must have been really short assignment... My current uni assignment took about 3 weeks of work for 3 people so far.. still not complete

It was a simple write up of a text based adventure game, I went a bit Elder Scrolls'y with the story and well... got a good grade at least.
tryingnottobealurker
Yeah that would have taken me 30 minutes tops but i remember learning for the first time I would take hours to simple assignments

So, you learned nothing. All considered, programming isn't for everyone and I understand that. Me? I love it.
ratchet3789
Well considering I'm using Vulkan along with glfw and GLM to make a 3d renderer in my spare time I'd say I learnt quite a bit
reflectedsoundofundergroundspirits
Within the context, it sounded like it was a copy-paste job. I'm used to most people hating programming & do what they can to get out of it.
ratchet3789
Yeah I'm the complete opposite, otherwise I wouldn't have gone for a class and job in programming.

i walked into my C++ practical exam drunk off my ass and was first to compile and pass. the TAs were visibly upset, but couldn't even argue.

nah. i took coding in hs, and the uni class was just a rehash. the 3 hour break at noon before the lab time didn't help much.

I know that as soon as I reach for my ol' buddy Jack, I minimize the IDE and pull up Steam. I don't even try to program. It's like picking >
