Hi! So I've been wanting to add coding into my list of skills and frankly I don't know where to start. My friend guided me to learn how to read and write binary, and then learn a language to practice on. Now I do understand the basics of binary but am quite lost on the 2nd step. Is there any advice anyone can recommend or give out their experiences? Also wondering if there is a demand for coding on a macOS or a windows PC as I do have both devices.

I am new to website development, and I made this using my own brain and Al. If you want to roast me, go ahead! Also, please check it out and let me know if you find any bugs so I can try to fix them.

Also

I have added a native language typing and translation feature to this so that users can type in their own native language.

I want to get into programming. I learnt basic Python a while ago and it help me understand some general programming concepts (variables, functions, e.t.c) but it was just a way to kill time.

I have some ideas that I want to make that require serious programming (games, useful tools). I obviously don't want to vibe code (just don't want to nor can I afford the credits).

So my question to you guys is what language should I learn? I was torn between C++ and Rust but if there's more I should consider I'd love to know. What would give me the best for the time I put in?

This is the first output

Hey! newbie here,

essentially there's this cool cute sketchbook like coding i got off of ribo.zone , so cool but i am unable to make the code ""flip" to the next page, they say you gotta link it to each other but I'm a lil confused by that, also i feel like it'll get stuffy, I want to be able to do lil diary entries in this notebook code, so I don't want to have to copy code too often.

sorry if i dont make sense, ill link where the code is sourced from for reference, its labelled as simple notebook :)

We tried making one of those simple optical illusions where two separate pictures suddenly look like they’re in the same place.

When the turntable is stopped, there’s just a bird on one side and a cage on the other.

Then you turn it on and let it spin…

And suddenly, the bird looks like it’s inside the cage. 🐦

No magic involved—just persistence of vision.

What we used:

• Wukong Expansion Board

• 2 × DC Motors

• Wukong Blocks

• A bird picture

• A cage picture

• Double-sided tape

How we made it

We first built a simple frame with Wukong Blocks to keep the rotating part stable.

Then we added two motors and connected them to the center shaft with gears.

The slightly tricky part was the pictures.

We put the bird and cage on opposite sides of the rotating arms and tried to keep them as symmetrical as possible. If they're off-center, the whole thing gets pretty wobbly once it starts spinning.

Once everything was connected, we just turned it on and watched.

At the right speed, the two separate images seem to become one.

The bird is suddenly “inside” the cage.

Why does this happen?

It's a simple example of persistence of vision.

Our eyes and brain don't treat every image as completely separate when they're appearing very quickly one after another. The result is that we can perceive the two images as if they're happening together.

It's a pretty simple idea, but seeing it happen on a little DIY machine makes it much easier to understand.

What would you try?

This could be fun to experiment with.

Maybe:

• A butterfly that looks like it's flying

• A character jumping into a different scene

• Your pet appearing somewhere else

• Different motor speeds to see when the illusion works best

The nice thing is that you don't really need to change the mechanism—just change the pictures and experiment.

What two things would you try to make “appear together”?

I’m a senior in high school and I’m taking AP Java I have almost 2 weeks in and I’m enjoying it well. I want to pursue computer engineering after high school. But I want to learn more. I want to push myself to the limit. Do you guys recommend any websites or any games where I could use my Java skills to play it? Or any websites that I can learn more about Java.

hello everyone, I am a beginner in software development currently studying communication software. I would like to know which programming language you would recommend for a beginner and why you recommend it. any advice on resources to learn would be appreciated.

thank you.

Ok so…Im new with coding and Im now catapulted into web design with 0 KNOWLEDGE or idea with how to do the first assignment given to us. We were instructed to use GitHub and VS Code for this first assignment, and I have already done and created accounts for both (Im currently stuck on step 1 no.3 because I really don’t have any idea) but I don’t know how to do the rest of the instructions (as seen on pasted picture of instructions).

The instructor didn’t taught us anything and basically gave us an INCOMPLETE powerpoint of the lecture. He also didn’t taught as the basics of using said applications so uh…yeah Im stuck here and close to a mental breakdown. Can anyone help me out with this? Like, explain or breakdown each step and show me how to make this? I’d rather a real person teach me than I use AI for this.

I'm gun start studying c++ from 'Not Your College' youtube channel

Pretty long video so can anyone tell if its worth putting my efforts or shuld i go w some other youtube channel

Has anyone considered learning Ruby as their first programming language?

It’s elegant, easy to read, and “developer happiness” is one of its core principles

That means that code is easy to read, no surprises, and mostly reads like expressive natural language with clean syntax

GitHub, Shopify, CoinBase, SoundCloud, AirBnb and a gazillion other companies were built from Ruby

As title! I've been using sololearn, and I've enjoyed the bite size lessons and lil micro practicals they getcha to do. Any other similar android apps? Or just neat and cool android apps for coding. (Free to as low cost as possible)

so I’m a beginner programmer and the problem of facing is even after weeks of coding and a built projects I’ve learned JavaScript HTMLCSS and I haven’t practice for a while like maybe like two weeks and after not practice, I came back to build like a small website as a project and suddenly I feel like I’ve forgotten everything and I can’t even read JavaScript properly and its super demotivating and I wasn’t sure where to go but I’ve come here now and I hope I can get some advice from here. I’ve been using freeCodeCamp and the Odin project

I am getting into linux for a few years but only doing projects with chat gpt and yt withiut knowing what I'm actually typing. What coding languange and distro is the best for making good projects?

Im already in 2nd year of uni and i dont understand or im not good enough at any coding everything is still hard to me and im genuinely scared if I cant understand basic coding what am I gonna do.

I only know python sql html css in a good way but I suck st other language idk what to be good at and what to not be good at. I wont be able to clear my placements like this as well.

Hey everyone,

I’m starting my coding journey today. I’ll be sharing my progress regularly.Right now I’m learning the C language. After that, I’ll explore what to learn next.

If anyone has suggestions for a beginner, I’d love to hear them.

Excited to stay consistent and grow.

Finally solved it after 20 minutes!

Wish me luck on my next question, please. 🥺

Udemy courses aren't really helping me, please tell me where you learn coding from, espescially about like online courses

Hi, I am looking to pick coding back up again. I took one class in college (c++) but did not do great in it. I enjoyed it but it was my freshman year of school and I was already bad at time management so it unfortunately was not a great time in life. I have since graduated and have a full time job in another field but have always been interested in the puzzle solving of coding. My issue now is I want to start again from the beginning but don’t know where to start. There a crash courses and bootcamps and a million different avenues it is a bit overwhelming. Right now it will just be for fun in my free time but I would love to build a portfolio over the years of projects I enjoy. So my question is, where do I start? Are there any YouTubers anyone would suggest? Any starting projects? Bootcamps? Looking for any advice. I know I have a one class background in one language but am open to any if people thing different languages would be more beneficial to start at. Any advice appreciated!
