How did you learn to code?

How did you learn programming?

[ ] Taught yourself (ie. just experimenting on your own with computers and discovered coding)
[ ] Educated at school
[ ] Tutorials from a book or online
[ ] OTHER (specify)

The first one is for me.  I discovered QBasic when I was like 12.  Good times man.  My first programs were terrifyingly crappy but I loved coding instantly.  I think that teaching myself QBasic just by experimenting and looking at the syntax in the little Help guide built into the IDE was probably the most fun I've had with a computer (is that sad or not?).

I was playing with .bats after reading some shit in a game magazine, then I was taught Pascal in a culture center (the place where moms list 12yo kids because they they think they have too much time). Got some basic C++ in school. After some time I learned PHP from an on-line tutorial. From that point all my learning is like: get an idea - try to write it - when problems appear, find a way to solve 'em - finish - congratz - next project. Way better than writing the same fuckin' "classic algorithms" all the time.

I played with .BATs before I started QBasic too.  And I agree on the "classic algorithm" shit.

Maybe >>45 was a bit rough in his post, but >>43-44's posts show they have not achieved Satori, is that not a way to fail at programming?

ah, so you don't know how to code.
don't be ashamed, just be honest

[X] Taught myself
I've read K&R, written simple things in C, discovered Python, read the docs and wrote small and progresssively more ambitious things.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Valid::Perl qw(Diplomacy Welding);

my $prog = Valid::Perl->code();

$prog->set_diplomacy(talleyrand,germany);
$prog->start_weld(copper,arcweld,60,0,0,1);

print "$prog\n";

the temperature required for welding vaporizes copper thus you don't weld copper you solder or braze it

>>54
none of those values indicate temperature

you are trying to weld copper DUH
plain and simple
the amount of current generated by a welding machine will vaporize copper

anon humbly suggests you learn to use tools beside a computer as
never know when you may need them

Nobody cares about welding.

If you want to be a hacker, keep reading. If you want to be a cracker, go read the alt.2600 newsgroup and get ready to do five to ten in the slammer after finding out you aren't as smart as you think you are. And that's all I'm going to say about crackers.
