@jackg I saw the ann thread bumped, so i wonder if you plan to continue write the lesson?

Ah yeah I thought I'd give it a bump yesterday to see if I got any interest that might have been missed a few months ago.

I think the last lesson I mentioned I was going to make was on recursion and rounding off everything (and it might have been a few other things too). When I find done good (less complex) examples of each then I will. Mist of the non complex stuff like fibonacci are better dons out of recursion so I'll have to see where I can get without having to teach data structures. (I could do a queue or a stack tjough I guess).

Fixed up the other thread let me know if I've missed anything.

Hmmm yeah sorry guys. I was about to start the rest of the tutorials and got lumbered with a heavy workload... I'm not doing anything now so I'll try and do a bit more on this.

I also couldn't work out a tutorial for installing visual studio/mono so Ill have to point you guys elsewhere for that bit...

I have telegram, I'm not sure of my username so if you can pm yours?

Would it be helpful if I make some channels on telegram and post there what I post on here also? Or send a link to it.

Send me what you've built in java and I'll try talking a look. I'm not a fan of sql, I use it but don't like it so I doubt I can teach it very well...

I have added the coding solutions and will shortly post a topic for code review. I did the first four challenges that should be all that is needed to cover the fundamentals.

Mate, I would like to make a request for this tutorials of yours,.. Would you please continue some keypoints to python language as well as the c# and javascript + sql (another thread for the C# Language)... Me and my buddy are currently studying these languages and I find your thread useful.

And as I have seen the last part there are some things that I want to know, would you mind showing us some more? Even with some examples of something like a library system or an inventory just like in java,... I have done these things so far using java language, so I would like to know how will the codes looks like on python...

P.S. if you don't mind I would like to talk to you, its your call where to... Whether on telegram or any other chat apps.
I'm way straight and looking forward to learn other languages, so you're help will be also an added information for me.

EDIT: I'm thinking of making all of my code review threads based on all three programming languages or should I do one individually for each (I don't think I've asked this yet).

I've never seen, thanks by the way, it seems a good channel with lot of subscriber and tutorials. Thanks to hugeblack as well for bringing it up here too, this is another storage of lessons and sleepless days coming Grin

Hugeblack posted a YouTube channel above. Perhaps you can take a look at th at.

I'm currently on data and I've used about 5/6gb trying to sync a full node so I'll have to wait for when I can get WiFi again in order to check it.

Yes these will be two different threads that I'll make. I'll probably take on board the suggestions and make them self moderated.

I've been busy with exams and a few other things recently. I'll finish off the solutions for the programming challenges today and post them (I want to make sure they're all accurate before I do).

I'll open up another thread for code reviews and then maybe one for the fundamentals of C# also but I might do them a few days apart...

Welcome back jackg, haven't seen an update on your thread here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-free-python-lessons-a-week-and-a-half-to-get-you-started-5123974 for a 1 and a half month, I am really into your thread even I have no background on any programming languages. Furthermore, I am on YouTube too digging some helpful videos that will add more on my way to learn more about python. Do you have any recommendation of helpful videos on Youtube or any platform that has tutorials via video as that's what I prefer to learn fast.

The thread for code reviews will be another thread as well as the C# lessons, am I right? Can't wait for it too.

Thanks for this platform. Can a beginner learn these things from the scratch? I mean one with just basic computer knowledge and no programming knowledge?

Hi sorry yep, I'm hoping this will be exactly what this is used for.

Let me know if you have any feed back or suggestions.

Hey man, put the link in the OP... I was like where the hell are those courses for about 5 min or something.
It's a great fun to play with, tho.
... and great work btw.

Much better if you will set the main thread as Self Moderated to avoid some random post.

฿itcoin for all, All for ฿itcoin.

Thanks @Jackg for bring up this initiative. I have always wanted to get some knowledge in programming but i really didn't get any good place to start off from.
I am interested in learning python.

Yes, It is best to be posted here.
I was lazy in learning that language, I started with you "lesson: 3" but I stopped because of the lack of time.
I hope you will return with more and more exercises.
Also, what is the best YouTube channel for learning? What do you think of this channel (@ProgrammingKnowledge)?
Are there any sources or references you can add?

Can I translate that topic?

I'll take a look at that channel in a bit. I'd encourage translating the topic but I'd suggest you list me as the author and add a link to the original thread just in case there are any discrepancies in translation (it isn't normally symmetric).

Try looking at the python challenges on that thread (link in my personal message) would it be helpful if I produced solutions and posted them there or here, explaining what each line does?

I'm wondering whether to try to do this here and give people lessons in programming languages.

I can do asm (the basics at least), python, java and c#. I can probably do a few more but I'm not sure of my competency. Anyway if anyone's interested let me know and I'll try to give it a go.

Day 1: getting and setting environment, downloading required software.
Day 2: variable assignments
Day 3: inputs and outputs
Day 4: if else and else if
Day 5: loops
Day 6: file handling
Day 7: case/switch statements
Day 8: recursion
Day 9: oop potentially

Tbh at some point if I do this I'll go fuck it and start posting multiple things at once or one every 12 hours or so.

I'm interested! As for the poll above, I probably need all three, but programming always seem too cumbersome for me, hence I'm about to start learning.
Do you give any kind of books or handouts, even if they're created by not just for a back study guide or worthy notes?
Good job to start anyway.

I'm not sure whether my strategy works or not. I'm happy to start on the other languages thiygh if anyone's interested (if it was any good for anyone or if you were waiting for them). I'll go with the one with the ne t highest votes...

My python thread is avaliable here. More languages will come: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50284994

I'm doing a language at a time so people don't end up with a huge backlog try doing 2 a day if you want and I'll. Wait about 3 days after finishing this time.

Thanks

I also heard that Benjamin Trevor Grenier in Australia is giving free lessons for full stack developers
