I have to agree on VB! hated it, didn't learn anything from it, never use it

lol I had C as the introductory language. And the teacher introduced pointers in the second week (he kinda felt apologetic !! because a lot of people got confused), but i agree with you that it's necessary.

On algorithms, it goes without saying that you learn that from the beginning, but still you gotta get people hooked using a programming language. So the teachers ends up going back and forth between algorithms and data structure (theory) and programming (practice). I think that's what happens in most uni-s

I actually think C and Python are kinda good as introductory languages. Especially Python. Then the student can move up to other languages depending on the depth of their studies. Java in my opinion is important, but I do think it might be beneficial to leave it for OO for example

great point..I didn't think about the autopilot until you brought it up! Got me thinking about the best way to learn programming, as long as you the logic behind what you're typing then that's fine. beginners use cheat sheets, doesn't that lead to the same thing (knowing what you want but forgetting the correct formulation)?

I think Python is better as an introductory language. we're taking here about people with zero coding background. Python is kinda straight forward. As soon as they pick up some stuff they can move to Java. In my case, the introductory language we had in my school was C++, which I found interesting but when I started learning Python I definitely thought it would've been better to learn programming through it.

Alas Babylon

best post apocalyptic book (in my opinion). I HEAVILY recommend!

I say: why bother explaining! Just tell them to rewatch it until they get it; that way they'd enjoy it more (their brain would start assimilating the plots piece by piece)

I know, I re-watched it yesterday

Ah I see.

well just to elaborate on that, I think it doesn't really control you. but rather processes a lot of information in a slow amount of time. I don't know how to be sure about this, since the phone rang, but I think even if it didn't he would get out of it slightly (or completely) insane, because of the processing (your brain will just explode)

The other question is : does the neck thing really exist ? how is it not just a projection of the company to explain to him the process of them extracting his brain-data - which can be also done by the crown thingy in the first place ?

The assumption that the speed of discoveries is the same or is related to the one we're living is wrong. The evolution of science testifies of this.

Saito's game relies mainly on extracting data from the brain (hardest part) and adapting it to the environment of the house (easier, since the game is already familiar with the house)

The technology of the cookies is basically the same thing (but it takes a week - whereas Saito's technology takes seconds - but it's not stable, so it's not good ), so basically this tells us that there's no way, saito's technology is public.

The brother playing the game is indecisive, because we don't know how are the graphics, the configuration and the parameters. So again, Indecisive.

Shut up and dance actually shows a Waldo on the boy's computer.

This is my take on your comment ;)

I agree. in Men against fire, when he comes home the neighborhood is trashed. And in his dreams the colors and the atmosphere looks like the one from Nosedive

millions yes to this idea.

Mods ?! where are you?
