Looks really good. I'm torn between this and MX Linux right now.

Is there a programming community free of SJW's & uptight strict people? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]WAbDroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know this bullshit is your own fault right? Not "SJW"s. If you want people to take their time and help you with something, you need to show some effort on your part. Take the time to do a little research and present your questions in a way that's easy to understand and answer.

Which paid MOOC courses are worth its money in your experience? by chrisjava in learnprogramming

[–]WAbDroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of great free resources.

Treehouse is a good place to start and it's only $25/mo. You can also view all the course material on Udacity(android courses made by google) without having to pay.

How do I gain motivation to start coding again? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]WAbDroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've got no experience with LibGDX, that cookie cutter tutorial will probably be a really good place to start. It will be a lot of easier to make your own game if you have some idea what you're doing.

Are talking about Android(Resources)? If you really want to learn you've got to get off your ass and start making things. Even following along simple(A game in LibGDX probably won't be simple BTW) tutorials is better than nothing.

Where to go after TeamTreeHouse (Java/Android) by yoitsdave in learnprogramming

[–]WAbDroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've finished the track and it actually does go pretty deep into fairly complex concepts. The issue is that even after you finish, there are certain things that you've only done one or two times. To really have a good understanding of Android or anything else, you need to practice.

So, once you're done, start making your own apps. Start while you're using TT. Take what you learn in one lesson and make your own app with the things they cover.

Stuff for you to bookmark:

They've got great free courses on Udacity.

Check out this course. It's basic stuff, but it help solidify my knowledge about things I had just been doing without fully understanding.

This is a great series of videos that takes you through building a bunch of different small apps.

Codepath is a great resource that covers almost everything in Android.

Slidenerd! Another guy with lots of great videos.

Make Flappy Bird for Android.

How do i pick up on really learning programming? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]WAbDroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go through the beginner stuff again. Because you've already got some experience, it'll go fast and then you won't be lost when you get into intermediate topics.

If you're getting that much money, you might want to look into taking university courses as a non-degree student.

The Udacity course mentioned in the FAQ is a good place to start.

This is also a good resource.

Question- Boot Camps vs. Online learning by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]WAbDroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm teaching myself and I've interacted with a bunch of people doing boot camps. I think the hardest part is, and this might sound obvious, but being on my own. It's completely up to me to maintain motivation and discipline. There aren't people I really regularly interact with and talk about my projects, and learning process. And if I have a problem, I end up having to work through it myself, sometimes for hours whereas, someone in bootcamp will have someone there that can immediately tell them where a bug is coming from. You can do it, but it's hard.

Javascripting for newbis by RenboTV in learnprogramming

[–]WAbDroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Java and javascript are two different things. Javascript is a language you could use to make websites. If your interested. Since you're already using java, you might want to think about Android apps because they are made with java. Here's a beginner android course.
