>In JS world code or framework works whole few months, then its unusable
Could you please fix the syntax error here?
I can not parse it.

>>1476
i wrote something wrong? i am not natve speaker, so i am sorry, i got A from last english exam though

>>1477
Yeah, I'm not sure what the error is because i can't understand what you're trying to say.
maybe i would understand if you (or anyone who understands) were to rephrase it.

He has observed the fleeting nature of frameworks and of JS code in general.

>>1479
Thanks. I see how that could mean that now.

>>1370
Which formats? I'd like for it to be on a website And for each visitor to see there own random video for that instance.

>>1371
Maybe you should explain what you're going for before you getting into the technical details. Something like this?

https://bahamas10.github.io/tvstatic/

Maybe in a box on a web page?

>>1369
Check this out;

It generates each frame and sends them while the browser is still displaying it.

You can manipulate SVGs with JavaScript. Does not really work for videos but you could do some interesting random infinite effects with that.

For videos just get a list of files on your server and select one randomly?

you can embed Processing into browser. Check out Generative art by Matt pearson

Young friend, it's impossible to <<know pr0gramming>>, since there are too many different topics. Would you like to programm cars? Nah, you don't. Embedded a soykaf.

Rather try to become specialized and excell at a specific field which is fun for you.

What is fun?
Maybe take one year off to dig into web stuff.
Work your way down from HTML, CSS and JS to actually READING a few (internet-related) RFCs.Then learn some basics about servers and security (actually deploying a website and playing arroud with things like firewalls is good fun). And get into networking, at least some basics. Maybe read the first chapters from some CCNA training manual.

After that dig into Databases, Databases are underrated!
First the usual entry stuff (SQL basics, normal forms) and then I highly recommend:
"SQL Antipatterns" by B. Karwin


You can never go wrong with web stuff and databases and networking security.
Becoming decent in security is insane, but basics are mandatory.
Also security is so much fun, even the basics.

A decent list for compilers and type systems:
Category Theory by Awodey (or Category theory for Programmers by Bartosz Milewski)
Compiling with Continuations by Appel
Types and Programming Languages and Advanced Topics in Types and Programming Languages by Pierce
Functional Programming Through Lambda Calculus by Michaelson
Implementing Functional Languages by Simon Peyton Jones

Category Theory is useful for almost all languages thus a valuable design tool to have around.

>>1392
>Category Theory is useful for almost all languages
why?

learn Category theory as you need it, in a vacuum it is completely useless. what you will likely find happening is that you stumble onto basic categorical concepts as you program (in a strongly typed functional language) and backtrack to the theory as you level up with the abstractions that you encounter.

>Functional Programming Through Lambda Calculus by Michaelson
is the only book on your list that wouldn't completely overwhelm an undergrad level student. All the others should be avoided until you have the required maths background. Another exception being Compiling with Continuations, avoid this altogether. If I can be bothered then I'll post some compiler papers/texts for anyone interested.

The Little Typer by Friedman & Christiansen, recently released, is a very friendly introduction to many basic concepts in type theory minus the usual prerequisite mathenese.

>>1392

A bachelors program typically might touch on a few of the topics you list here briefly. But really all of this is graduate level stuff and above that isn't going to be very useful unless this person is extremely interested in compiler design and theory.

>>1398
Category theory is as useful for learning functional programming languages as reading about design patterns are for learning object oriented languages. It is something that they could read alongside learning something like haskell and get a lot out of I'd argue.

I read that it's an open source project, so- where is it, what would we do with it, etc- if it were finished?

>>1382
the guy stopped working on it

>>1384

Is there a link to the repository anywhere in case someone else wanted to pick up where they left off?

>>1383
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lainos/

go for it. but honestly its probably going to be a fair amount of work to update it. Might as well make your own distro from scratch than decipher what all was going on in a 6 year-dead project and update it.

Just my take.

I learned how to program from my mother's student copy of Microsoft VB98 and the included MSDN disc. I spent three years writing VB code. In the beginning I was focused on making games. At some point I decided that I wanted to make a clone of Harvest Moon and so I used my incredibly limited knowledge to make a really basic map editor and included in that editor was a really basic "script" "editor/compiler". It's pretty apparent to me now that it was just a lobotomized BASIC clone with features specifically for manipulating game objects. From there, I went on to C programming through devkitarm and failed to really make anything significant. I struggled for a long time with figuring out what I wanted to focus my time and energy on. I kept coming back to game development and reinvented the wheel time and time again until I realized I was much more content with creating plain old useful software. I've realized over the years that the realm of utilities and general software offers much more to the programmer than the same 5 genres of game development ever could. I think game development has more to offer to artists and musicians, personally. Since coming to that conclusion I've settled on Scheme, C, and Ruby for getting things done.

If I was to give someone interested in programming because of games any advice, it would be this: Unless you plan on dumping a majority of your resources into serious studio-quality game development, don't expect your interest to last. That being said, you can use it as a catalyst if you enjoy programming more than making game assets.

I learned how to program while playing Second Life. The game has a built-in scripting language that taught me basic control flow and callback-driven patterns. The best part about that was that it was a shared, interactive experience, so anything you made you could share/show off to your friends who were playing with you.

I honestly don't really think it matters so much how you first learn programming. If you're someone who cares about what you're doing, you'll be able to identify the bad habits you pick up and work to rid yourself of them. Learning how to unlearn something is a useful skill to have.

Started using Game Maker in 6th grade and then C++ in 7th grade because… I wanted to make games. I programmed all the time in middle school but didn't do it much in high school. I don't like games anymore, but I have a degree in CS. I also don't like programming anymore and wish I could be normal.

I started writing Batch/VBS "viruses" as pranks in 4th grade, then moved on to casually learning Python for fun, then started writing the frontend trio, C and bash about a year after I started using Linux.

18 years old, because I picked CS major at random. Ended up liking it and programming for fun.

Yeah… some mods are trigger happy, could unban u in case u ever do decide 2 visit, wouldn't need ur ip just ur hash which u can get there with /myhash, should've warned and given more info, but I don't post much on img boards, so soz about that, here's OC of inaccurate and oversimplified ISS as some sort of weird restitution.

Any chance this is due to DllMain or other things potentially triggered by DllMain? I believe some C++ runtimes use DllMain to manage lifetime of non-trivially constructable/destructible objects with static or thread-local storage duration.

OP wants a course. The problem with courses and mobile development is that they'll be out of date within 2 years. Documentation is usually pretty good and intended to be 100% sufficient for people who are already programmers, so that's where I would recommend starting. Maybe a Youtube video for an environment and work flow set up if you've never used those heavyweight IDEs.

not OP but would love to get a link to free youtube playlist or something for making android apps

>>434
Seconding this. Any decent material is appreciated.

Or should I find the latest books I can find and dive into them?

>>401
check the new boston youtube series on android

Are you interested in developing for Android or developing Android itself?

I guess I should also explain my reasoning for wanting to work primarily with 8-bit systems. It's not to make games, I'm more interested in the idea of making a computer myself from scratch (or pretty darn close to it) and implementing a basic OS on it. Having it be centered around a 6502 or Z80 (or equivalent) makes that much more approachable and easier to plan out as a whole. There's no overwhelmingly complicated features to these chips that makes it hard to visualize how they work like with modern CPUs and whatnot. You've got a CPU, you've got RAM, you've got an IO controller(s) and there you go, you've got the basis for a fully functional and "useful" computer.

Wish I could help but I only know Atari BASIC :)

>>1290
You might try putting together a ZX Spectrum clone. Cloning the Spectrum was practically a cottage industry in Eastern Europe 30 years ago and people are still doing it.

>>1292
I hadn't even thought about that, that's not a bad idea. In fact, I just did a quick search and found this little nugget: http://www.pestingers.net/pdfs/other-computers/build-your-own-z80.pdf . It's not specifically aimed at the ZX, I don't think, but I imagine it's incredibly helpful all the same. I'll have to keep that in mind, thanks!

>>1290

Not sure if you already know about it but http://6502.org/ is an excellent ressource when it comes to homebrew 8-bit systems. Beware of the C64 as a dev platform since it is mostly built on custom chips and has atrociously slow mass storage. For a simple starting point Grant's boards are quite nice: http://searle.hostei.com/grant/

Good luck with your ambitions hopefully you will keep us updated on eventual updates.
