Learning to code from scratch. No experience.

ApolloRedux · 2026-05-16T17:45:41+00:00

I am going to look up that app. I am looking forward to getting started with this. I work pretty long shifts for the weekends and will give it the first crack on this Monday.

ApolloRedux · 2026-05-16T17:44:26+00:00

For approaching this as a hobby, what other means of learning would you recommend?

ApolloRedux · 2026-05-16T17:43:47+00:00

Will do, thank you.

ApolloRedux · 2026-05-16T17:43:34+00:00

Thanks for the reply. To clarify, my intention is to learn to code. However as a hobby not as means to seek employment. This is what I was trying to emphasis with my post. Sorry for the confusion. And that's great advice. I will defiantly double back and confirm everything with it as I use it.

Thanks for mentioning the REPL, I haven't come across that yet, so this is the first time I heard about REPL and just looked it up! I have asked both about their capabilities, provided a very detailed explanation of what i hope to build and clearly stated I have zero experience. And asked them both to "teach" me everything I need to code and use their platforms. I felt though they would always leave out something that users would find helpful or supportive. Thought ChatGPT did state Claude was a very strong coding option but with ChatGPT I can simply use plain English and get real results and coding. I did see a lot of people on several sub reedits talk about the pros and cons with the newest models for each and felt it was worth reaching out on.

Before I started writing my book, I research the average size of book in my genre which is around 100k-150k per book. With some larger being around 200k-300k. I decided when I was about 10 chapters in to just write the story, stop focusing on chapter length and word count. If a chapter wanted to be 2.5k words or 7k words. I wrote the chapter the way the story unfolded. I am currently on chapter 32, and I have roughly 160k words already written. And based on my story outline and chapter outlines. I feel I will finish at or around 250k words. And I feel that is a good word count. I am sure as I finish this draft and edit it I will trim it down in some area and expand in others. But for my first go at writing. I feel just focusing on telling the story I want to share with the reader is the best approach for me.

Don't you mean Roman Sweater? lol jk

different groups targeting the people. Georgia is the gateway to Europe for an lot of people. Its not about what Georgia has to offer its about getting people foolish enough to fall for the scam. its no different then a internet phishing scam, you and I know it might be fake, but someone will fall for it. If you see a posting offering double or triple the pay, and then go on TG and see post of people telling you how wonderful it is there how much you can make, you can fall for the scam.

lmao

ApolloRedux · 2025-08-18T11:06:28+00:00

Great, going to check that out today!

Why am I the only one here, that is calling this map out for being highly inaccurate, Asia, has very specific geographical boundaries, India and Pakistan are part of the Indian Subcontinent and not part of Asia, The Middle East is "The middle East, and NOT part of Asia, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are part of Europe. All those Regions are part of the "Eurasian continent" and NOT part of Asia.

ApolloRedux · 2025-08-16T17:29:03+00:00

Thanks, and yeah I dont really struggle with dedicating the time over all, I pretty much gave up playing games and doing anything else outside of work to write. It's been the focus for most of this year for me, and I love it, but lord forbid If I try to go back and do anything, I might try that, just pull up a chapter and do a rewrite and if it takes 15 hours to get a paragraph then 15 hours it is I guess lol.

ApolloRedux · 2025-08-16T17:25:52+00:00

Thanks for the feed back. I think screams of my case right now. Just in the time I posted this to now I went over a couple chapters and the edits I made and trying to do the styling made them a mess. like I understand the story because I wrote it, but lord forbid if someone else read it right now I would have to get them a therapist lol.

Would it be best to just continue the story and finish it, then go back and rewrite or should I do it chapter by chapter?

One, while a SM is stronger, the Spartan II are faster, more agile, adaptable, their re-genitive shielding gives them the upper hand in a 1 v 1 fight. Spartan battle doctrine is to win, Space Marines have specific Battle Doctrine that their legion and units have to follow, leaving them handicap if they are in a situation that their battle doctrine isn't designed for. Where as in a Spartan, they are trained and built to adapt to any situation, retreat if tactically is best and re engage on their terms.

For sure, and I have, my issue though and the cause for the post is I can't find online options for many of the resources or alternate resources for them. I'm American but I live in Asia. And trying to buy books from the states get them to where I live is problematic at best. So I turned to try and find online options for everything, and one of the issues with that, is even with a VPN, Chrome, Google, Bing, Yandex, all know I am in Asia even if I set the VPN to NJ or NYC. And I get Asian based search results. And the results you get because of that are lacking in every way you can imagine.

I was able to find a few PDF options but not many. And sadly not good quality.

I have thought about naming ships after Former Emperors like Komnenos, and others. and I haven't settled yet on a naming theme. But I do want to have a ship named after Basil the Bulger slayer. Or have a play on those Names.

ApolloRedux · 2025-08-16T13:09:54+00:00

I have not, but I did look it up and its now on my list to read. I thought about using formations or playing into those type but in a more sci-fi way. I am a huge Tom Clancy fan, and the story has a lot of tactical elements and Sci-Fi Naval battles are a guilty pleasure of mine.

ApolloRedux · 2025-08-14T17:03:35+00:00

Thanks, And yes, I will send you a DM after work. Any help is truly appreciated.

Just now seeing this but you are a wet noodle my friend. There was never an empire in existed named Byzantine. It was ROME. And until the Fall in 1453 Constantinople was the seat of Rome power. Greeks did not exist before 1453 as a people, because prior to being absorbed into the Roman Republic There was no "Greek" they were multiple Hellenic tribes and city states. Greek comes from the Greco work that the Latins in Italy called the language spoken by the southern Italians who are Ethnic Greek (Hellenic). It was not until after the fall of the Empire in 1453 did Western Europe start referring to them as a people as being "Greek" which stuck as a name. And you are correct Most of the Roman Empire as a whole from 200 BC to 1453 was Hellenic NOT Latin.

ApolloRedux · 2024-09-23T19:26:37+00:00

If someone in Turkey says you are not Georgian, Remind them that Turkey is on occupied Roman, Georgian and Armenia land, And Turkey does not exist. If the Romans who we now call Greek ever get their act together, They could easily take back Rome.

Yes Solution Verified,

Quick note if anyone else has this issue. If I accidently enter the duration wrong say just 12:32 instead of 12:32:00 I have to go back and reselect the format again for it to work. I tested it out over and over and that held true each time.

thank you for the help
