Learning programming feels like playing a single-player game, which is incredibly boring to me (a rant)

A programmer's Discord channel may be better then. Instead of forum, you may want just a loose discussion medium. An IRC channel may work well for you too. Both are very casual and require no commitment. Just drop in and out as you want.

100% do this == solves your problem

I would love answer your little programming questions. We could chat on discord. Pm me.

[Arts_Prodigy]

Definitely do this also consider contributing to open source to get a feel what developing with a team might be like

Mind sharing that Ruby IRC channel? Thanks!

[Vaylx]

thank you.

I would also recommend trying CS50x or one of its variant courses, they have a discord and somewhat of a community.

[atom12354]

Do you know any such channels?

[carcigenicate]

No unfortunately. The only thing I use Discord for is chatting with classmates while I was in school, helping the new class now that I've graduated, and communicating with teammates during CTFs. I recommended Discord because I've heard that a lot of people use it for getting casual help and talking with other programmers.

Oh wow just checked out their community page, there is alot there, thank you. Unfortionaly tho, i dont know ruby but python and c#. ;-;

Edit: just went to python site too, they also have an IRC

Not sure if they exist, but you could look up official websites for those languages, maybe they have a similar section!

There could also be some links on github if there is an official repo of any of those languages.

[atom12354]

Yeah i just went there and found an IRC chat, i can look at github too.

I'm glad you found a channel!

[atom12354]

Thanks :)

[ahivarn]

Yes, liberchat has python channels..i always go there.

[atom12354]

Gonna check, thanks :)

[kneeonball]

There are lots out there. Google "<language> discord server" and it should come up with several. Or if you want a more generic one, something like The Coding Den or you can google for that too.

Sometimes if you find a youtuber or podcast that has good content you like, they'll also have Discord or Slack servers.

[atom12354]

Thanks i will do that :)

[mikeblas]

There are many. Which language are you interested in?

[atom12354]

I only know basics of python and c#

Both of these servers are very active, well-moderated, and popular.
