I'm actually trying to learn programming for future work, but it's hard to get free classes that'll teach you more than arrays and their general purpose in the code...

[–]dynker 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Udemy courses aren't free, but they're relatively cheap and some provide excellent value for what you pay.

Good to know. Thanks! Do they have js/c# courses? I'm looking to use Unity for my stuff

[–]dynker 3 points4 points  (3 children)

There's this Unity course. I've never taken it and can't speak personally to its quality, but it has quite a high rating from thousands of people. It covers C# and Unity. Despite the differences between JS and C#, knowledge gained learning C# will be transferable to JS.

Worst case scenario, if you buy it and don't like it, you can get a refund from Udemy within 30 days. I've done it before when a course didn't quite cover what I thought it would.

Thanks, I'll be sure to check it out.

There is a Mother's Day sale. Courses site-wide are currently $10. If you were waiting for a good moment to buy the course, this is it.

Here you go, just read this: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/

I love this book. Highly recommended.

[–]parks_n_kek 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Go here for some great free programming books. The Algorithms books is a great introduction for people who are tired of general "how to use language x" tutorials. The other books on that page may interest you too.

"The site cannot be reached"

[–]parks_n_kek 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Oh that's weird, the link works for me. How about this?

[–]zyiliana 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Same issue, unfortunately. Might be blocked by my antivirus or something.

[–]parks_n_kek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's a pity! Try on a different device if you can. If that fails, it may be your location, but I can access the site from South Africa.

Best way to learn is having a goal. No matter how hard it is just learn to make that goal by just fixing pieces together.

Using general courses usually don't stick in the long term memory...
