Posted May 27, 2014 Hey LTT, For the last year or so I have been very interested in learning to code (Preferably in Java because I kind of know the syntax but it doesn't really matter to me what I learn) but whenever I get my sh*t together and try to start learning I get bored and don't really see a point or a purpose in doing this. So really what I am asking is for you guys to give me some reasons on why I should learn to code and what language I should start in and how I can keep myself interested.

Posted May 27, 2014 if you are well versed in Java, it's easier to learn other languages that are similar such as C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 27, 2014 Author if you are well versed in Java, it's easier to learn other languages that are similar such as C I am nowhere near well versed Sorry if I made it seem that way. I just tried learning it a while ago and didn't get very far but I kinda got the basic syntax.

I'm saying if you actually learn it, it's pretty easy to learn other objective oriented languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 27, 2014 I actually find its easier to learn and code something, when it's something that I have an active interest in. Think of an application that you'd like to have that would help simplify an everyday task you do.For me I wrote a file-renamer and mover. I'm constantly moving files from one drive to my RAID for storage. So i designed an app that would display media files in one pane, with a move/copy button, and the corresponding location on the right pane. Then I threw in some bulk renaming and other misc items, and I created a nice media suite app...sort of. The assignments I get in school are interesting, but become monotonous pretty quick. Most of the time I could figure out in my head what would be the best plan of attack, and the rest was just busy work and debugging. That get's old fast. When you design something yourself, you kind of have a general idea, but it isn't until you dive in head first that you start figuring out what to do.hopefully that makes since My Server - Update 1 - Update 2 - Update 3 - Update 4 Gaming Rig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
