CodeTemplar: Check out Udacity's lessons too. They have some of the best materials available for Devops. Also, their teaching style is very beginner friendly. I found that if you go with their lessons you will be comfortable reading Documentation and code samples without hassles - two skills that can hasten your progress beyond words. They can be slow however but that's not a dealbreaker. Also, the curriculum is usually curated by some of the best in the industry together with learning experts. You can expect to learn only best practices and not dirty codes. |

Re: Is It Advisable To Learn Java As My First Programming Language? by onwards: 11:23am On Jun 05, 2018 |
ClassicMcGee: Mostly Video lectures. There are some text too and reference to online documentation once in a while. |

ClassicMcGee: My advice is to stick to one path until you are FAIRLY comfortable, then branch out. Fairly = Can create simple products and leverage simple third party library in your code. But I recommend you take that CSC101 course. Some things may not make sense to you rightaway in the course of the tutorial but just bull your way through. You will have those Eureka moments when you begin writing complex code in OOP. The foundation is the real deal here. Get it right and you'll never have to worry about picking up any new language ever again. |

CodeTemplar: heard i could build an app with HTML5 and deplny to mobile using ionic, how true is that? |
Re: Is It Advisable To Learn Java As My First Programming Language? by CodeTemplar: 8:27am On Jun 07, 2018 |
ClassicMcGee:There are platforms that do that but i haven't explored any. It is possible but have it in your mind that most frameworks are built upon languages so if iconic isn't built upon your language of choice you may have to learn another language and that exposes you to learning multiple language same time. It can be distracting. 1 Like |

Python is a better choice for beginners tbh, that’s if you’re just trying to learn for the sake of learning and it isn’t a job requirement or something 2 Likes |

Re: Is It Advisable To Learn Java As My First Programming Language? by wane01(m): 4:32pm On Jun 07, 2018 |
ClassicMcGee:My simple advice is to learn one language and get a good grasp before reaching out .... Some new modern languages are now being carved out from older languages e.g GO from c++, react native from js e.t.c Once you know the basic programming concepts the only problem you would have is adjusting to a new language syntax |
Re: Is It Advisable To Learn Java As My First Programming Language? by wane01(m): 4:38pm On Jun 07, 2018 |
ClassicMcGee:its just like the name "While" lemme give a layman's explanation ; "While" am asleep ... you keep on fanning me .. when I wake you stop . Try getting an example of a while loop in a simpler language like python and understand the concept before recoding in your language |
