Please give me good advice to learn the art of computing programing, I thanks you from the bottom bottom of my heart heart.

Thanks very much, please no troll or spam for more thanks （´・ω・｀）

Have you tried emailing well-respected professors on the matter? You could try sending a few hundred emails to Gerald Sussman (his email address is easily found in the web), he'll surely admire your perseverance for that.

And keep us up-to-date!

Learn Haskell. If you're a small-minded toilet scrubber, it'll blow your mind. I, on the other hand, had no problem understanding monads, kinds, monadic I/O, and continuations.

Understanding monads was a complete waste of time, they only taught me what I already knew and provided a shitty awkward and useless abstraction.

True, but you need to grok them if you want to dig the Haskell jive.

Writing idiomatic Haskell code with zygohistomorphic rectomorphisms left and right reminds me of this quote (yes, I know the author is an insufferable ~~faggot~~ annoying person but even a stopped clock is right twice a day):
Sometimes, you’re on a team, and you’re busy banging out the code, and somebody comes up to your desk, coffee mug in hand, and starts rattling on about how if you use multi-threaded COM apartments, your app will be 34% sparklier, and it’s not even that hard, because he’s written a bunch of templates, and all you have to do is multiply-inherit from 17 of his templates, each taking an average of 4 arguments, and you barely even have to write the body of the function. It’s just a gigantic list of multiple-inheritance from different classes and hey, presto, multi-apartment threaded COM. And your eyes are swimming, and you have no friggin’ idea what this frigtard is talking about, but he just won’t go away, and even if he does go away, he’s just going back into his office to write more of his clever classes constructed entirely from multiple inheritance from templates, without a single implementation body at all, and it’s going to crash like crazy and you’re going to get paged at night to come in and try to figure it out because he’ll be at some goddamn “Design Patterns” meetup.
I would much rather stick with my Lisp.

astrologers proclaim the year of the snake. python coder population doubles! (:

also you lost your kawaii name, baka

python will be called koala if they loose their trademark. I find that name also kawaii, baka.

First of all, you have to learn to be precise. What do you mean with professional? Professional like Knuth or Nikita?

Ha! What shall the structure of imperative programs be? Which category can express the full nature of imperative programs and even more? HAhAhAhahashash, it's a monad.

please no bump no more, got python already

Five-kun i google haskell but it looks hard so python instead

Python will poison your soul as the beast it is. Haskell will change the nature of programming. In the future only pure mathematicians can program. It will purify the world.

No bump.

ONLY PURE MATHEMATICIANS SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROGRAM. I CANNOT STAND THE DAMN UGLYNES OF YOUR CODE.

haskell is tooo hard, i try a little java and easy c in schol, maybe stay along them if not python?

I really thought this was a troll post. Who the fuck would use that shitty emoticon made in-famous by the 2ch email creeper?

Anyway, read SICP.

Just kidding, learn Python.

Don't listen to these jews and and buy into their kike languages OP, learn Symta and you'll be coding with God. What kind of code do you think God would write, OP? Surely he would write an algorithm that calculates the best way to get rid of parasites like the east khazars.
