I just want to say I live the podcast and feel that it's great for those who are not tech savvy from the get go. I have tried to find goo material that wasn't to advanced and now I have found my beginning in program with your podcast. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the new episodes.
Please tell me more about a new language you propose to delve into before actually writing a line of code. Why might I want to devote time to learning Python? Show me the results of a few examples that do more than just adding two numbers and maybe also show a quick scan of the source code for that demo. (e.g. Maybe scrape a web page and display a result.) I want a quick feel for the language first.
Coding 101 has great potential. @padresj amd @snubs personalities are excellent for this s... more
Just got a raspberry pi and the python series is perfect timing! Hosts are great also.
The show is a good idea just as they have said hard to teach everything in 30ish minutes per week. I am not a programmer at all, unless you count my teenage years on an Apple IIe. Yes the show seems rushed but they give you a week with the supplied code to play around and "break" it and play/adjust it to test the waters. I got to the party later and had 5 episodes to watch all in a row and that seemed to help me follow along better because I didn't need to wait 7 days for the next show. I wi... more
I totally agree with the other reviewer. Why did you start with C#? Probably because of that Microsoft guy, hmm... If someone wants to become an actual programmer (and not the "code monkey") you start with C, then migrate to C++, and only then migrate to the "kiddie" stuff like C#, if you wants to. If you do it the other way around the most important aspects of programming, like memory management will be a totally alien concept for you.
Also what about the Xcode for Mac? Btw, if you started wit... more
First of all you all limiting this to only people using windows and as both of you are Linux users why not just use C++. If you feel C++ is to complicated for a beginner there is always Python as well. I would teach just using gcc/g++ and a text editor. This is how I learned to program and now I can program on any OS not just poop windows.
Just what I was looking for.
-(to see Shannon learning... I’m kidding).
The show is fun to watch and easy to follow. I strongly recommend to watch live very thursday.
Good Job.!!
Taking 2 of the best people at twit and combine it with core coding principles and you have a. Sure fire success. Subscribe now!!!!
