Hello everyone,

Just wondering who's here know programming and C+ or Python.

I use C++ a lot (mostly for 3D programming) though it's not my favorite language. I prefer Delphi. But imho Embarcadero keeps f*cking things up -.- and the fpc has no real support other than a community.
Also I learned about C# and Java - in theory I can use them. But practically I don't like them and don't use them.
Beside those languages, I work a lot with PHP and JS(rather CoffeeScript) (browser based and on Node.JS) because I also make homepages.

I'm a computer science student currently learning Java. During my free time, I sometimes try to learn a little bit of python.

Once I know enough of those, I'll probably try to add a lot more. :P

I only know some Java, very little Javascript, and Python. I like Python the most, though. I haven't used it for high-level applications, but Google does and they seem like they might know what they are doing.

Plus, it's named after Monty Python.

Learning Java ^w^

i do lol

I am learning C ! definitely wanna know about Python though. It's becoming popular huh.

If anyone learning Python. teach me lol XD

may i know for what did you learn about python?

I highly recommend CodeAcademy for self study. It is a great learning site I use myself.

I just now a bit of java :..(

I just now a bit of java :..(

Codeacademy.com is great to learn coding

first of all as a response to Xaxa code academy is one of the worst ways to learn how to try to learn how to code. the software only works in code academy and is all but useless outside of it. I suggest that instead you try looking at java python or c++ they have actual real world uses and can make amazing hey end applets with the right level of experience. you can try just going to a bookstore and buy a book on how to code download the free software and get started. if you are in school you could also ask a computer science teacher and see if you he can help you.
And in response to your question i do know how to use python. its fun simple and a great kick start.

>>14 What are you talking about? Code Academy teaches you the language without having to teach you how to use a program, making it a better way to learn than using an IDE in some respects. They also teach Python, and I have used that knowledge to create the 'amazing hey end applets' that you speak of. I'm not sure what difference you see between someone teaching you online and asking a computer science teacher or buying a book and learning that way.

I use python daily while when i want to create a long term project that needs something to relate heavier capabilities i use C++. It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

>>15 sorry if I offended you but i just don't think that using code academy is as effective as using a software developing interface and think it is better to get hand on experience with what the programs can use and in my experience i have never heard anything about code academy but bad things and this is only my experience talking and if you find it works well for you so be it i just prefer using the software. And again i am very sorry if i upset you and that I am a bad speller. sory

>>17 I'm not offended, I was just confused. I find the knowledge transfers over to a program seamlessly. I would definitely agree that you can't just use that site to code everything you do, as using an IDE can do more than simple printing. However, learning a language using an online teacher is fine. Practice should be done in an IDE.

Again, no worries, I over-reacted.

thanks

I know little of Python...Thanks to Codecademy.com

I learned some of the basics for Python and am currently learning java but i was wondering if someone could give me an application example preferably java of what could be done with the language cause I'm sort of confused about the application process.

I'm currently learning C, I know a little about C++ :)

I'm trying to learn Arduino.

I'm getting annoyed because I can't seem to assign any values in a 2-d array. It seems kind of worthless.

>>23 I've been learning Arduino, too! I am getting angry because it doesn't throw exceptions or indicate errors of any kind when you call an array out of bounds. It just keeps going and doesn't work. I'm not sure what the point of that is.

>>24 I also experienced this problem. It must be for some important reason, but it has added a lot of hours onto troubleshooting for me.

Python took me a heap of time to learn in comparison. \(-.-)/

I'm new to programming, and I started with Python since my Raspberry Pi held it in such high regard. It feels a lot like a beginner's language, with how streamlined the syntax is, and how easy it is to interface with different hardware elements of my Pi.

Python is a pretty decent language, I use it to write utilities. As a matter of practice, I use text editors with syntax highlighting to write code (Kate, Ra (if you're on ChromeOS... even if it is a pain), Notepad++, etc.) Python has a nice set of libraries, utilities, and a good community with a strong following. Of course, this doesn't mean that other languages aren't as good or better at tasks than Python. I prefer it for its ease of use and its utility.

I've been learning ruby as of lately. I think it'd be good to have on my resume.

Done a bit in C++ before, starting to learn Java now.

I've done a lot of C++ and Java, object oriented programming languages are easy to learn once you get the feel. I don't spend a lot of time writing in Python because most of the work I've done is in Perl and that's what I'm moore comfortable with when it comes to scripting languages.

This is the fifth time this week where I've seen some people talk about how they program in this modern day and age in *Perl*. There are literally zero reasons why you would do anything in Perl nowadays, I don't know how this is still a thing.

OI EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD HARDEN THE FUCK UP AND LEARN MALBOLGE

>>34 You've obviously never used Perl's CPAN before. If you did, you wouldn't think that.

>>36 That's a bold assumption. Perl is a language that literally no one uses anymore (apart from some people on this thread), if you don't believe me go to a code sharing site such as Github and look at the amount of *new* projects that are being written in Perl. Thing is, it is an old language. Newer languages apply newer things. External organisations such as CPAN are not going to improve fundamental components of the language and implement new ideas.

I am now going to use this opportunity to promote a higher level static typed compiled language (say that ten times fast!) that is has newer concepts that you won't see Perl touch with an 18 inch stick:

Go! Features such as builtin concurrency, channels for easy interthread communication and defer statements (a quick summary of some stuff) make it a new and developing language.
Languages that could be directly compared to Perl are also developing new features all the time such as Python, with it's inclusion of Unicode characters, something that Perl does not have and will never have (save for a few external libraries). Like everyone a long time ago I wrote Perl, but it's time to get with the times and realize that Perl is a language that should not be written for newer projects.

A little Python,but at the moment I'm learning Objective-C
