@freedom,
What is it you want to learn/ get out of this?
Most of coding is just sitting down frustrated swearing at the computer for not giving you the answer. Normally ones own fault for not putting in a space in the right place.
Coding is frustrating but rewarding. The worst part of it is the "internet noise". If you can handle this - its worth while.
Your other question - Is it possible, I'm a punk arse dyslexic from a rough town in a rough school with teachers that didn't give a shit. My education was shit poor. My gift (from what I was told) was I was shit hot with a hasselbald but with a terrible business mind - facing entering a marriage and poverty. I sat down and squatted AS2 night and day, 247. Years on I'm in an RnD for a prominent VFX company. So if I can bloody do it -- anyone can.
My advice is learn a "real" language first. It will be harder and yield slower results but you learn how it all works and pick up any language first. Don't go with the easiest option.
My 10p (worth nothing post britexit!) is a C language (c++ is cool if you can past terrible nerd typefaces) -> python -> java. You'll be laughing all the way to the bank (then tell me how to make money!)
Can point you to some good lectures if you need.
- stayed up till 4 am, pulling my hair, wondering why it wouldn't fuckn work, I must have rewrote a single block of code 20 times, until I realize I didn't turnGeorgesII
- on the wifi module in my codes... I shut down my computer and went to bed,
such is the rewarding life of a dev :/ ehehheGeorgesII - 20x sounds about right!
I'm forever screaming - "WHY YOU KNOW WORK"... I think my flat mate thinks I'm unable to get an erection!mugwart - *KNOW was NO! oppsmugwart
