I wanna learn to code. I've been stuck in the basics for to long and i really wanna move forward. But still don't know what I wanna code, so that was also a problem.
Yep, same here. I want to learn a programming language as well but I haven't really made big progress so far.
even though it's a cliche, I'd suggest you to start with javascript, it can be used for a bunch of things, from there you can decide if you like what you're doing, or you prefer low-level stuff.
tangentially, for a high-level language the syntax most resembles lower level stuff (compared to python at least). i felt the transition from js to c was smoother for me than my classmates when i started using c at uni.
same here
Thank you.
I know I little bit is c++ and python. I was thinking that starting with web development might be a good start. My problem is mostly a lack of focus. Wanna learn but I have no idea what projects i wanna do, so i had no real reason to go forward. But I really like it, and might be useful for me soon.
You can code a contacts manager app. It needs to add, read, edit ans rรฉnovรฉ contacts. The more data you can manage the better, for example, work and personal phone numbers and email. Job title, company, created at, updated at, last time read at, etc. For each field you need to manage input sanitation, error handling and error messages. For profile photos you can do picture upload, read image from social network like a proprietary one or from the fediverse.
Interesting, ill think about that. Or something else, like inventary.
