Learning To Code (How do I start?)

[Azdog]

Hello McM! I would like to start to learn to code minecraft plugins, I don't know much about coding nor java.. What do you guys recommend doing to start off? What do I need to download to start coding? I understand coding is not something you learn instantly. But i'm willing to put in the time and effort.

Reply here, pm me or add disc MelbourneWifi#9519

Basically, does the course leave anything behind, that you gotta learn somewhere else? *Excluding the Minecraft stuff*

There's so many things in each programming language, that it is impossible for that to be the only thing you need to learn. Just think about algorithms, optimization, security, and much more. The more you learn, the more there is and the more complicated and in-depth it is.

which 1 do you think is better https://www.udemy.com/python-the-complete-python-developer-course/ or https://www.udemy.com/complete-python-bootcamp/

I am not a Python developer, but, just looking at the curriculum, I would go with the bootcamp. Watch the previews though, look at reviews, amount of material. Check if you can understand their voice and if they go at a good pace.

Hey! I recommend using Eclipse as your work station, and following TheSourceCode's guides on his channel, he's very in depth with his explanations and of course, ITS FREE!

Eh, IntelliJ IDEA is much better. I was a long time Eclipse user and have switched over to IntelliJ recently. I always thought that Eclipse was great until I started using IntelliJ. IntelliJ is much smarter, faster, less cluttered, more organized, more configurable(imo), cleaner, better-looking, and just overall better. Plus their themes work on Windows.

Hmmm, I'll be sure to check it out! Thanks!

So this is the best way to get into java right now: https://www.udemy.com/java-the-complete-java-developer-course/ ?

Pretty much.

Yeah me too haha, I'll be learning with you

Well, you have. PluralSights, SafariBooks, GitHub, Stack Overflow, Udemy, TheSourceCode (youtube), TheNewBoston (youtuber), a mentor like Ammar T, a book like Head First Java, some friends maybe.

No, always intellij.

 

[Ambrosia]

No, always intellij.

It depends on the person.

Not really.

Have you hit your head? Those courses teach you how to code. Spoonfeeding would be giving exact code to solve someone's issue. Completely different. You need to see code to learn code.
