High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
Completely true. I should learn JS, but I'm not much of a web-developer. I learned HTML, just because most due. Learned PHP because it is a general-purpose language, plus a web-developing language, it is irresistible!!!! I don't know though. I think C is a pretty good way to start. I forgot to add up top, C->Perl (vice versa)
I've never used C or Perl so I can't attest to them, but I know you can do lower-level programming with C, that's what influenced my above answers.
From your above statements, I'm guessing you're saying C is 'HARD' because it is a 'low-level', I guess. The code itself is easy to write if you know basic arithmetic operations, which you should, since it is basic 7th grade math! I could write a simple code example or whatever if needed to prove simplicity?
I ended up using Google to see some code. It's simpler than I initially believed.
C is a terrible language to start off with and it's certainly not easy. I've taken courses in C where I had to write a heap manager and kernel (and plenty of other stuff) in C and IA32 assembly, it was some of the most tedious and stupid code I've ever written. It's like cutting down a tree to build your own desk when you can just buy one from walmart. Sure, if you specifically need a hand-made wooden desk (or need specific features/compatibility of C) then you can do it that way. But 99% of people getting their first desk don't head to the forest to find wood, and there's no reason to use C unless you absolutely have to.
Don't go around spewing non-sense. Just because you figured out how to code 1+1 in C doesn't mean that it's an easy language. "the code itself is easy to write if you know basic arithmetic" lmfao if you're gonna pretend to know a language at least pick one that has built in memory management
Programming is about the process of clear, logical thinking. Math helps you unlock this basically. It helps with that point of view. Algebra is something good to have when learning C, specifically because you need to know how-to create & reorder your own equations. Saying that Algebra isn't a needed trait is quite wrong, please leave.
"C is a terrible language to start off with and it's certainly not easy. I've taken courses in C where I had to write a heap manager and kernel (and plenty of other stuff) in C and IA32 assembly," >Tries to create a kernel in C, gets upset and leaves when it is too difficult for him.
Huh. GL with your life, now leave.
literally what the fuck are you even saying lmao. I've done software engineering for billion-dollar tech companies and I have never needed to use algebra. "know how-to create & reorder your own equations" is not something any dev would be caught dead saying when talking about what is needed to learn programming.
Oh and for the record, I got a 98 on that assignment and an A in the class. You don't have to fail at something to appreciate its difficulty, but maybe that's a foreign concept for someone as arrogant and delusional as you are.
thanks
Sounds legit.
add me on skype at sourpear69
for websites, I suggest using http://www.w3schools.com or http://www.codeacademy.com
Hmmm... Never used w3schools. Found it... weird?
HTML isn't a programming language though.
