We've all (maybe) tried it at one point or another: searching up something along the lines of 'how to code easy' on Google. And, with the hundreds of different websites claiming to be able to easily teach you to code out there, you'd figure everyone should be a Java guru by now- but they're not. When I was a little younger, and more naive, I registered an account on a website called Codecademy- arguably the largest and most popular of these formerly-mentioned websites. I made the account with the intention of sitting down for a couple hours a day, for maybe or week or so, and eventually becoming a superb developer, who could sit in front of a plethora of monitors, each with their own full-screen CMD window with lime green text, and hack into some mainframe, or do whatever they did in The Matrix. Initially, the exercises were pretty straightforward and easy. However, as you might expect, by day two or three, I made it to the transition in Codecademy from really, really easy to really, really hard. This transition isn't a defined, tangible thing. It's more of a tiny gradient between Codecademy luring you into their business with elementary challenges, to Codecademy expecting you to figure out how to declare an array of strings on your own. Frankly, all this would be acceptable if so much false advertising weren't in play. It's unfair to the common aspiring coding-student when the meta descriptions of five first-page-result websites say things like: "Learn Java in a week! Very easy!" or "Painless coding tutorials- try free!" or, my favorite, "Simple coding lessons." The innocent Googler can't be blamed for giving into the masses of advertisers shouting out how easy it is to learn to code. And when that Googler is sorely disappointed by how difficult coding actually is, they not only give up on that dream of learning code, but they're also derogated by the idea that coding is actually simple, and that they're just an idiot for not being able to comprehend code. These websites make people feel stupid when they can't live up to the standards set by the false advertising of websites like Codecademy. So what's the conclusion to my rant? Well, I guess my final statement can't get more elaborate than that life's a bitch, and you'd better hurry up and grow some confidence (and a pair), if you haven't already, because every CEO and marketer for a tricky business like Codecademy is out to get you.

ok
I can and can not see your pain in this, because I am a coder with 6 years of background. But if you're still looking into learning how to code, I'll be more than pleased on where I learned how to code.
Okay, so this is where I learned like a quarter of my coding. So have you ever visited the Deep Web before? Well if you have go on TOR and put in this URL in the TOR ( http://akmb7t5w56jcfgwf.onion/books/sorted/ ) here this is where you can learn Java Coding in 21 days. It'll start off easy on Day 1 then it'll get harder the more you progress in days. If you don't understand anything from Day 1, then KEEP being on Day 1 to FULLY understand the coding in Day 1, then move onto Day 2.
Another way is to go to local libraries in your area, and ask the employees there and say "Do you have any Java Books?". I've took Java Books out of libraries before when I was starting to learn how to code, and let me tell you that took a big part in me learning how to code. The pages in the Java Books can be up to like 700-800 pages LONG. You don't have to read it all, but I did and I HIGHLY suggest you doing the same.
ALSO IF ME POSTING THAT ONION SITE OF THE DEEP WEB, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP IF IT'S AGAINST THE RULES.

a deep web link being posted on a forums like this. folks ive seen it all
But, OP, I can agree with you on this.
I don't think so haha
I hope not, lmao... I am just trying to help out this dude trying to learn how to code. I've been down his road plenty of times. All the link is learning how to advance coding in 21 days. But as it's the deep web I highly suggest you using a extra VPN, and disable scripts when going on the deep web. Tor provides a VPN when you visit the deep web, but you know better safe, than sorry.

I used codeacademy to teach myself webdesign and i found it pretty easy. perhaps you should of given it more than a week. you cant learn any professional skill in a weeks time.
I am going to just assume that the gradual difficulty of html/css/java etc are all the same levels of difficulty climbing. Now while they are good at teaching you i do not think you should think that you can become a professional JUST from using that site, you still need to go to a school and learn this stuff, in australia at least these courses are 6+ months long.
codeacademy learning certainly helped me with what i learned when i went and got a qualification in webdesign at school

I've been on the deep web long ago when Tor even existed. The name "deep web" never existed until recently, the old name for the "deep web" was the "deep net". I wish I can post my deep web experience.
As I am still quite new to MCM, can anyone point out to any moderators, admins, or even the owner? I would like to know if I can post my deep web experience. xD
Well for codeacadamy I would not call it false advertising where most of their service is free and it used to be fully free prior to their premium upgrade. It really does help users and its a good place to start. I learned most my java script from there. I mostly self thought my self HTML just through reverse engineering and research.
I tried their javascript course. Everything was going fine, and I got done with all the first sections, and after like an hour or two of everything, I can't seem to get it right, even though I feel as if I am doing it right.
And same, with HTML haha
Being honest, Java Script is extremely simple once you understand it. It takes lots of math into play but its worth to learn it currently I am learning Java so I hope I can get that done soon. I really do suggest reverse engineering it is extremely helpful, if you need help on how to reverse engineer just hmu in a pm
Well, I would like to share but as I get on MCM everyday and starting to love being on MCM. I would like to know if it's against the rules, or not.I don't think it is against the rules
I'm curious to know, lol
Do you know any Moderator, Admin, or Owner that can help me see if posting my deep web experience is allowed?
Also btw if you want to know some coding site to trash on it would be Code.org
During computer class 10th grade I was basically forced to take the full java script course and it was the worst thing, click and drag is terrible and its all basically simple stuff.[DOUBLEPOST=1467602939][/DOUBLEPOST]

I am pretty sure it is allowed since this regular browsers can not access it and you are basically under consent after using the link on tor. Plus this in general discussion so I don't think stories would harm anyone.
Java is the same way, you need to know Math to do like Methods, Arrays, Less than or Greater, and more. I am currently learning JavaScript, but with my 6 year experience with knowing multiple different coding languages, I think I can learn JavaScript in like 2 weeks. xDBeing honest, Java Script is extremely simple once you understand it.

Oh my god, in 8th creade we did code.org and it was terrible.
Script is mostly just for fun now, I am trying to learn past it. With script you can make neat things and all but Java is where the real stuff is at.
