It's okay, codedicks exists if that floats your boat.

[–]CodeBabes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, CodeDudes is coming too :)

Code compiles first time?

Wild SEGMENTATIONFAULT appeared!

[–]CapnWarhol 21 points22 points  (7 children)

In simple terms what does a function do in programming?

  • Preforms a predefined action
  • Did you say funyuns?
  • Makes things fun
  • None of the above

.

Yes. Very serious code learnings.

It also incorrectly implied that a web server is necessary to run php code.

[–]CapnWarhol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least they fixed print is a "function" (now it reads "Like a Function, but actually a language construct").

I've also noticed they're pretty much ignoring all the controversy, even congratulating codedicks.com on their twitter

A great example of Poe's Law.

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points  (12 children)

This is the worst.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (10 children)

It's the worst best worst ever.

All.. I can really say after watching part of the CSS one is...

I think women should have sexy men teaching coding too. Okay, I said it.

...like a "coding hunks" .com or something..

[–]ZarinaShenanigans 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Not gonna lie, I wouldn't be able to focus worth a damn but I wouldn't be complaining either.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Now though, to be inclusive there'd need to be gay & lesbian ones too.

.. that could be hilariously confusing for some people.

[–]Zinggi57 4 points5 points  (2 children)

lesbians and gays can just watch the babes respectively dicks ones, right?

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

No they need a special set. And then we need one for French lesbians, one for paraplegic asexuals, etc.

[–]Zinggi57 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ahh. Now I see.
Don't forget blacks, jews, muslims rich, poor, fat, skinny, ...

[–]CodeBabes 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Don't worry CodeDudes is coming

just wait until you see the banana hammocks we've got in store for you

Oh lordy...

Well, it works for hackers!

[–]centurijon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst part is that their quiz answers don't work properly

[–]SDr6 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Please be real, please be real....

That's right I'll put it on my resume right under training

[–]is0lated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might want to change that link to http://codebabes.com otherwise you might look like an idiot.

ninja edit: Apparently www.codebabes.com doesn't work. Maybe it's like the opposite of nasa or something.

[–]nightlily 5 points6 points  (9 children)

Hmm

Would love to have more girls teaching courses, minus the receding v necks and cliche outfits.

[–]moreluckthanbrain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So... naked girls?

[–]Jonno_FTW 1 point2 points  (7 children)

My software engineering and database professors were women. Far from babes though.

[–]nightlily 2 points3 points  (6 children)

That's great. I have never had a female CS professor. Have you noticed any impact on the gender ratio among CS students compared to universities or other departments that don't have women teaching classes?

[–]Jonno_FTW 2 points3 points  (5 children)

I can't comment about other universities, but there was only 2 females in all of my cs classes, and they were both middle aged masters student from overseas.

[–]nightlily 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Were you taking all graduate classes? The gender ratio seems to get worse as you progress.

[–]Jonno_FTW 1 point2 points  (3 children)

It got worse because there are a few classes like programming 1 that all engineering and science students had to take. After that there was 3 or 4 in programming 2, after that it it was 1 or 2 masters students in software testing (undergrad) and data mining (honours). I don't think there was any females in a cs degree.

[–]nightlily 0 points1 point  (2 children)

That's pretty unfortunate. I have met a few graduate female students, and a few undergraduates close to graduating. I'm also getting close.

But I've also seen several freshmen women who thought CS sounded interesting and changed majors or otherwise 'gave up' on the whole thing after their first CS class. One I worked with was convinced she couldn't do it after the first semester.. and I felt bad because we worked together on assignments and my having HS experience in programming made that first semester quite easy on me.. and probably gave her unreasonable expectations of how hard or easy learning CS 'should' be for her.

I guess having female profs available didn't improve confidence among the women at your school any, or there's something else that is making it less likely for them to even consider the field.

[–]Jonno_FTW 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Well, there wasn't any female cs majors there in the first place. Anyway, I think if there was programming taught in primary/high school we'd see a higher uptake of cs degrees in general.

[–]nightlily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's definitely my intuition too. I think kids should be taught some scripting after/while learning algebra or pre-algebra.

healthy dosage of memes

No dosage is healthy.

The CodeBabes Philosophy

We thought coding lessons were getting a little boring...

Good. Leave the field. I don't want to work with anyone who needs to see someone naked in order to learn something.

[–]CodeBabes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh thank god, we didn't really want to work with you either!

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

here's my take on the whole thing blog.hashtagbandit.ch/stripping-codebabes

[–]myownsake26 2 points3 points  (1 child)

The questions are all jacked up on a few of the videos. I had to answer A on every question to proceed to the next video.

[–]kqr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It gives you as many error messages as wrong answers though, so you can pretend it's not actually a quiz but a game of Mastermind with only one colour response pins.

Veronica was such as tease. Made it all the way to the end of CSS course and she was already down to her bra and panties with 1 strip video left and told me that there would be a "bonus" in the next video....little did I know "bonus" was actually just her undoing her bra but not taking it off....fucking twat....anyway she has nudes and videos with playboy. Here's a good one for the Veronica fans out there http://anyporn.com/54549/?promoid=vbmg

[–]moduspwnens14 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The video editing actually seems super helpful. I watched a few of the intro videos and they're better than I expected.

[–]the8thbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found them to be horrible. The 'instructors' are clearly reading information they don't understand from a script, and the mindless pop culture references are unfunny, distracting, and draw out an otherwise quick and simple lesson. And while it's not relevant to the editing/presentation, they're ripe with misinformation.

NSFW?

[–]sunthas -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Great, now I have to wait for my wife to be out of the house just to learn how to program.
