Codecademy
 

Codecademy.com is an interactive website dedicated to teaching people coding. It teaches HTML, C#, Python, and a few others (not GS2, sadly). It is simple to use and doesn't slam everything at you all at once, meaning that you can learn fast (at least I did). It requires an account.
I recommend this website to all potential developers wanting to learn how to code :)

Love this website, very beginner-friendly. Picked up Python in a few days without any prior experience.

If only I could code my life to actually try it.

I signed up for this a while ago and i kind of just lost intrest in it after a while :\

Its not a very easy/interesting site. Often, the code screws up because the web page has an issue and from learning half of Java,it hasnt taught anything fun lol.
I guess you have to be into programming to love it. I love it because I want to learn programming.

Also, account creation isnt required. I have done some lessons on my iPad without having to sign up.

Most programmer tutorials/lessons assume you know nothing about programming. So they start from the absolute beginning, teaching you simple concepts and logic. If you already have some sort of understanding of those then that beginner stuff can be insanely boring. Even if you don't, most people think programming is about making cool ****... and get bored when all they're doing is telling a program to output "Hello World" and simple arithmetic.

Then, after you finally get past all of that boring crap you finally realize programming is about 10% fun and 90% frustration.

If you really wanna see a game that can make programming fun, check out Roblox. Not CoddeAcademy. Roblox shows you how scripting works.

I like this website. I'm past the part where I learn about functions in JS and I feel like a fluttering butterfly.

True, but the frustration is part of the fun. :>

Robloc... its basically Minecraft lmao

Roblox*

Roblox came before Minecraft......

Precisely: the frustration makes the end solution that much more satisfying.

Yeah! About that, I've gotten some real promising progress on my RC. :)
It even supports skins and the config from the official one.

I found this about a year ago and it is very useful.

gosh darn curly brackets screwing up all my stuff.

I really like this. But I can never really get into it for more than a few weeks. I'll just drop it one day. I do that with a lot of things though.

I need a bit of assistance with the JavaScript tutorial. If anyone could help me, I would be grateful! These are the instructions:
You are a creature of habit. Every week you buy 5 oranges. But orange prices keep changing!
1. You want to declare a function that calculates the cost of buying 5 oranges.
2. You then want to calculate the cost of the 5 all together.
3. Write a function that does this called orangeCost().
4. It should take a parameter that is the cost of an orange, and multiply it by 5.
5. It should log the result of the multiplication to the console.
6. Call the function where oranges each cost 5 dollars.
-----this is what I coded so far ---
var orangeCost = function (orangeCost) {
var price = number * 5
}
console.log(price = 4)

oh **** i struggled with this one way to long too when i had this task. If you find yourself being stuck at certain tasks, just google the error/task. There's always an answer online!

---

try this;

var orangeCost = function (price){
var cost = price * 5;
return (cost);
};

orangeCost(5);

var orange = 5;
var orangeCost = function (price) {
console.log(orange * 5);
};

orangeCost();

It worked, thanks iDylan!

no problemo :]

Mother of god, I was stuck on this one weeks ago and haven't logged on since, thought I was gonna break my keyboard.

Shouldn't it be:

var orange = 5;
var orangeCost = function (price) {
console.log(orange * price);
};

orangeCost();

I thought the point of it was that the price is always changing, hence why the function takes a parameter for the price.

oh i see what i did wrong x-x. It still worked tough, but that seems much more logical:).

var myFunction = function (Parameter)

Is the parameter a variable?

The parameter is the variable you input into the function.

Yes. So, for example:

would log 10 into the console.

So the parameter's value is assigned after the function has been coded?

The parameter's value is defined every time the function is called. If you call the function with no value in that parameter, the function will be evaluated without a value for the parameter.

ex:

Would return
in the console log.


If you want to think of it as a real life example, think of it like this:
I go to the market and decide to get some items. I must tell the shopkeeper how much of each item I want, or the shopkeeper will be unable to get the item for me. Every time I want to get an item, I have to tell the shopkeeper how many of that item I want, and he (or she) doesn't automatically assume I want a certain amount of an item.

I am stuck yet again;
Instructions:

Thank you BBoyEatsBacon for that explanation, I understand it now!

You have a stray semi-colon here:

if ((income) >= 100);{

He's right.
Roblox is now making a system where when people play your game you get virtual currency that you can exchange for real money.

So basically you design games and get real money for it.

I used to play that game, come to think about it now, it was pretty great. Except for staff and the the rules, I remember being able to say anything on my profile got deleted because it had another accounts name in it from my friends list.. but the coding was very involved with players creating maps. Too bad I was too young to comprehend much of it, except to copy and paste codes.

What is the best coding language to learn for a beginner? We've got JavaScript, HTML, Python, PHP etc. What is the most practical for a beginner?

We'll I'm flying through JavaScript ATM and I only had basic scripting knowledge to begin with, try that!

Php was my first language. I liked it because it's easy to publish scripts online.

Do HTML. It's probably the bare bones of them all. I did HTML and PHP together as my first.

Listen to them, maybe I chose the wrong one 0.0

Started doing html

I've been doing python for almost a week now and i've gotten stuck. Here's what I have to do:

But it keeps saying the bool_three value is wrong:

Bool 3 needs to be False or False.
100**0.5 is the same as 100^0.5, which would be 10...
