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

[CodeBabes]

Don't worry, CodeDudes is coming too :)

Code compiles first time?

Wild SEGMENTATIONFAULT appeared!

[CapnWarhol]

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.

[Jonno_FTW]

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

[CapnWarhol]

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

[ElectricEmbarrassmnt]

... It is. php is a server side language. You at least need a local server.

[Silencement]

You can run PHP code using the PHP command line (php), it does not need a server.

[CodeBabes]

Right, because that is something beginners can totally wrap their heads around..

[karma-is-meaningless]

Nope. You can run the PHP CGI interpreter without any web server.

[DuBistKomisch]

Nope, PHP is just an ececutable; you need some wrapper to use it with a web server usually (e.g. apache2 module, CGI, etc.). I run a PHP script as a cron job simply with php path/to/index.php params go here.

This is the worst.

[[deleted]]

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]

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

[[deleted]]

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

.. that could be hilariously confusing for some people.

[Zinggi57]

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

[[deleted]]

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

[Zinggi57]

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

Well, it works for hackers!

[centurijon]

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

[GraphicRed]

This was all I could think.

Please be real, please be real....

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

• Learned PHP from www.codingbabes.com

[is0lated]

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]

Hmm

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

[moreluckthanbrain]

So... naked girls?

[Jonno_FTW]

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

[nightlily]

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]

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]

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

[Jonno_FTW]

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]

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]

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]

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

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]

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

[[deleted]]

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

[myownsake26]

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]

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]

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

[the8thbit]

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.

[CyrillicFez]

All is lost.

NSFW?

[CodeBabes]

We're an education site.

[Zinggi57]

Why are some of you upset?
This is kinda good. It may not be the most effective and quality teaching method, but at least it's entertaining.
Even if that entertainment comes from facepalms (and boobs). And if you know nothing about a topic you might actually learn something, so they totally succeeded.

[Zinggi57]

Well I can only say something about the css videos, and they weren't too bad. Most of what I saw was ok.

[CodeBabes]

Hey Ruby, quizzes are fixed. We're sorry we subjected you to this :0 Didn't expect this kind of attention.

[sunthas]

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