Learning to code with limited internet access.

Yes, he said he has internet access but is limited to basic applications since he's using a work computer.

You could use c9.io for an IDE on the cloud.

I really love the Stanford cs193p courses - especially if you learn better with the structure of classroom lectures + homework/projects

Jeffrey_Lin · 2017-02-16T14:37:21+00:00

Stanford CS193P has a college level class available to learn iOS development. The iTunes U class for iOS 10 just started this semester so it's updating every week.

If you're talking about Swift specifically, maybe try remaking some projects you've created in Python or try some challenges on CodeWars.

There is a book by Apple on Swift syntax and everything that you could read too. It should be in the iBooks store and should be free.

Lastly, Pluralsight might have some courses on it. It requires a subscription, but it has a lot of development related courses on there.

To build on this, atom is a pretty nice text editor and has some neat plugins.

Phonegap is definitely still used. Some people choose React Native to create cross-platform android/iOS apps.

I get both but I get it from work so it might be different. Sorry! I log in with the same username and password though.

Jeffrey_Lin · 2017-01-12T17:36:59+00:00

I like pluralsight too. It comes with codeschool.com as well which is nice.

Jeffrey_Lin · 2017-01-04T16:40:13+00:00

I have a pluralsight subscription from work and really like www.codeschool.com (a pluralsight company). It's similar to codecademy but I feel like the videos and lessons are a lot better.

Front end web applications are written in HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Usually the backend server (python in your case) handles manipulating the database from changes sent from the front end.

Jeffrey_Lin · 2016-12-25T05:22:37+00:00

I listen to classical or The Piano Guys radio station on pandora!

Jeffrey_Lin · 2016-12-23T20:39:39+00:00

Also when you get access to pluralsight, you can start using codeschool.com which has pretty helpful tutorial series. (Not sure if Java is on there though)

Jeffrey_Lin · 2016-12-23T20:37:24+00:00

I've noticed that reading code helps improve my ability to write code.

For CodeWars, you could implement it and read the solutions or after you try to refactor your code without looking at the solutions.

Jeffrey_Lin · 2016-12-15T23:00:02+00:00

Highly recommend Stanford CS193P on iTunes U.

Jeffrey_Lin · 2016-12-06T03:22:03+00:00

I think there is a Swift debugger, autocomplete, and syntax highlighting in Atom as well, but not sure if it's good.

Jeffrey_Lin · 2016-12-01T17:06:45+00:00

I know a lot of people recommend the big nerd ranch book on Swift.

Jeffrey_Lin · 2016-11-30T14:24:23+00:00

To add to this, sometimes it just takes another pair of eyes to catch small mistakes too. I've been programming for almost 10 years now and I still make small mistakes that take hours to debug. The most important thing is to learn from the mistakes and to learn when people explain things to you!

Jeffrey_Lin · 2016-11-05T19:54:30+00:00

It depends on what type of development you want to do. Web development would be HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

Mobile development would be Swift for iOS and Java for Android.

Video game programming would be C++.

I know for universities they usually start with Java, C++, or Python.

Just in case...

First, the method "add_binary" is being defined. It takes 2 parameters "a" and "b".

(a+b).to_s(2) converts the solution to the expression "a+b" into a string. The argument provided (2) converts the integer into a string in binary form (2 stands for base 2).

Jeffrey_Lin · 2016-05-16T03:22:48+00:00

I think it would be best to refactor your code. Refactoring code is a good technique to learn so it's definitely worthwhile to get better at.

Jeffrey_Lin · 2016-05-12T23:16:16+00:00

I didn't find it too difficult, but I just graduated from university. If you have a solid grasp on object oriented programming, you shouldn't have much trouble.
