RE: Help Wanted: Call for world-class JS and Python devs.

in #steemit7 years ago

Learning Python now. As a Nurse it is essential (completely joking). But I have so mich fown time that I am like I want to learn how to code so i can teach my daughter who wants to be an engineer or a doctor so I have to learn myself. As a side note is Python the best thing to start off coding, after learning basic HTML, like I? Sorry for the post hijack😩

Hi Wwamd Python is an essential programming language. It has been suggested that is one of, if not the simplest programming language to learn. I learned it at University. I would advice to learn it. But back to your question:

is Python the best thing to start off coding, after learning basic HTML, like I?

Depends on what you want to use it for. If it is for web development ( you will need CSS and the Javascript) this are the basic for web dev. Python is a more all purpose language (generic in a sense), but extremely useful (arguibly one of the most popular language as of today).

Oh and BTW I FOLLOWED you and UPVOTED and will look out for your future posts. Thanks for your time and effort in answering my questions.

Ok great that is what I have heard. I know I will have to learn Java since it is so ubiquitous on the internet. And the acronyms will take me some time too. Maybe I should take some CS courses in my spare time or do you think I can use CodeAcademy and other resources to teach myself, and my 11 yeard old daughter? I figure by the time she is 16 and applying to Universities she will be able to say "I can code in six (or more) different languages already🤓" which will help her to become an Engineer, Computer Engineer or Video Game Developer, which is what she says she wants to do right now. But after all my advice she will probably be the only Art Major that can code in six languages hahahaha 😩💰. At least she can make the next Instagram or something or Roblox for 2018. Her and her brother who I am training to be a Kicker in Football. My little retirement package🤑

Back to the coding topic, do you think for getting a Raspberry Pi 3 this summer for me and my daughter what should we be learning to make it into a media server, an emulator, a robot of some type, perhaps something else... I will probably end up buying at least five of them and a ton of sensors and other accessories.
