It is really difficult to get a good job being self taught.

That’s a nice font. A Xiaomi device I assume? Reminds me of some good old days.
dhruv@lemmy.worldOPto Learn Programming@programming.dev•Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next.2·2 years agoI’ll add it to my watchlist for next month. I wanna get started with it once I’ve tried out rust.
And I’ve played quite a bit of Shenzen-IO actually. I have a full paper book labelled and marked haha. I even made little notes to remind me how to make loops and little hacks. That’s one reason I’m considering getting into real assembly, I hope it’ll be as fun.
I’ve come across TIS-100. Looking at the steam store images made me give up before even trying haha. I wonder if it’ll torture me like Shenzhen or be a nice tutorial.
Didn’t know about the AT&T / Intel thing. Thanks!
dhruv@lemmy.worldOPto Learn Programming@programming.dev•Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next.2·2 years agoCOBOL is probably the last language I expected to recieve as a suggestion, other than esolangs. I’m told COBOL doesn’t have fundamental functions like recursion and there’s really no support or libraries for it. I don’t see this being really practical in the real world.
With that being said, there are quite a few jobs for it. It’s certainly an interesting suggestion but I’m afraid I can’t really get into this without familiarizing myself with more strongly typed languages.
I dunno if this’ll really be of the same level of demand for the next decade or two but it’s certainly opened my eyes about it. I had no idea a language like that would be useful till date.
Edit: I’ve found out that there are frameworks and libraries for COBOL. Damn.
dhruv@lemmy.worldOPto Learn Programming@programming.dev•Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next.2·2 years agoJust skimmed through one. He explains it quite well. I’ll save the links to try and learn it sometime next month. Thank you!
dhruv@lemmy.worldOPto Learn Programming@programming.dev•Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next.1·2 years agoThanks for taking your time! I’ll check them out.
dhruv@lemmy.worldOPto Learn Programming@programming.dev•Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next.1·2 years agoI took a look at it. The syntax looks scary and there’s tons of words that seem simply alien. Any idea where I should start from? I haven’t toyed with programming at a level this low.
dhruv@lemmy.worldOPto Learn Programming@programming.dev•Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next.1·2 years agoYeah I’ve been meaning to get my hands on it as well. Do you recommend any docs/videos/something else in particular? I learnt py and js by cloning a repo and dismantling things until something stopped working haha. I’d appreciate advice!
dhruv@lemmy.worldOPto Learn Programming@programming.dev•Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next.English2·2 years agoThis was really informative, thank you for taking your time!
dhruv@lemmy.worldOPto Learn Programming@programming.dev•Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next.2·2 years agoRust has been on my radar for a while. I installed cargo and just never used it haha. Any docs/videos/other learning methods that you recommend in particular?
dhruv@lemmy.worldOPto Learn Programming@programming.dev•Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next.1·2 years agoIs C not reaching obsoletion? I haven’t heard a lot about it being used anywhere. I’ve only heard of clojure before, I’ll look at that!
dhruv@lemmy.worldOPto Learn Programming@programming.dev•Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next.2·2 years agoI appreciate your comment. I understand where you’re coming from. I love the problems on codewars. Also by fluency I mean learning how to write neater code and of course, getting a better grip on the syntax.
Assembly is an interesting pick. I played with pseudo-assembly on a game called Shenzen-IO. Really fun, though I know real assembly is far more complex. Don’t think I wanna get into that right now but I’ll definitely use it sometime this year. Haven’t heard of prolog, I’ll look into that. Thanks!
Edit: I misinterpreted what you meant by programming problems.
dhruv@lemmy.worldOPto Learn Programming@programming.dev•Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next.2·2 years agoNever wrapped my head around dot net. What can I do with it? I don’t see a lot of projects with it.
Accents matter. It sounds like “vho-men” when I say it.
