Have you ever tried to learn computer programing?????? [I Want to Be Happy And Make Others Be Happy]

@DeWayfarer Ha ha ha ha!!!!
Can you say over achiever. LOL

@CrazyMusicLover Trig???? I failed basic math. LOL

@Dainbramadge Well, all I managed so far was getting a spiral by arranging nodes to get r = aeθ cot b. 😅 And I'm not even sure if it worked, because when I look at that code now I can't see that exactly happening. 🤔 But the spiral is there. 😂

@CrazyMusicLover I have used nodes in other programs for different type stuff but I HATE NODES. LOL
Interesting tho.

@Lanyx Is that a different editor? I use Pycharm for a Python editor.

@Dainbramadge No. PyGame is a "plug-in" into Python. Effectively, it is a library.

@Lanyx I shall look into this.
I did find a program that isn't programing called Unreal. It's instant gratification type stuff.

@Northwest API??? Not familiar.

@Dainbramadge That's the thin you're learning Python for and will come "three months later."

API = Application Program Interface. The Programming Interface.

The Application in this case is Blender. It has a bunch of functionality, and programming interface is the gateway that allows a program to tell Blender to do things.

Let's say you have a bunch of workers inside a factory. Some make spoons, some make forks, some make plates. They're behind a gate, and the only way to ask them to make their stuff, is through Python, because this the only language they know.

So, after you learn Python, you can start learning the specific Blender functions you can request through Python.

@Northwest Hey that actually made a lot of sense. Thanks.
I got some cool stuff for the plate guy to do. LOL

@Dlrannie Ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!

@Mordi No no. Very helpful.
I do have an issue with instant gratification. LOL

A lot of people say python is easy to learn. Which is kinda true. It's easy to learn and use. But I think the ease of it makes understanding programming concepts as a complete beginner harder. Also, I don't like the graphics modules on python.

But python is great. 🤷‍♂️

@Mordi Thanks for your input. :-)

@SW-User I keep telling myself I am just taking a break from it. LOL

@Dainbramadge I said the same, then I thought about it and realised I was going nowhere fast with it all

@SW-User LOL. To know ones self??? LOL.

@Dainbramadge and guess what. We need R for statistics. 😶

@assemblingaknob Ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

@Dainbramadge ikr. 😐

@SW-User It's Python. Supposed to be the easiest. Man I would hate to see hard. LOL

@Dainbramadge Have you considered the Head First books? There's a programming book and a python programming book.

I really think programming needs context and those books do a good job of providing context.

@SW-User Yes. Context is what I thrive on.

@wessexman SOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo Hard.

@ABCDEF7 SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo Hard. LOL

@Dainbramadge Well they say it's easy to learn in the younger age when the brain is developing. That's why they have started teaching in primary & middle schools.

@ABCDEF7 My boy is 11 and he is a lean mean learning machine. LOL

@SubstantialKick Oython???
I took like five tutorials on it and they weren't giving examples I could relate to.

@Dainbramadge So far I've learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C++, and basic Windows stuff.

@SubstantialKick Of course that was meant to say Python. LOL

@SW-User I hope to get back at it in time. Maybe it will make more sense later. IDK.

In my teens i wanted to be a hacker@Dainbramadge gave it a try Didn’t even get Visual Basic forget C ++ Sigh Idk why i did not get it. Good luck

@SW-User Thank you. Things are different now with all the people teaching it for free on line. I just need to find the right teacher.

@Thevy29 Freaking hard isn't it.
They want you to learn a bunch of hypothetical stuff that makes no sense and tell you it will later on. 3 MONTHS later. WTH?????

@Casheyane I would love to know it. I just am having trouble with learning stuff I can't use for three months. THREE MONTHS. LOL

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP YES!!!!!!! That is exactly where I am coming from.
I had a high school psychology book back when. I would read it because it was interesting to me. I helped my wife take her collage psychology exam just from general knowledge and I got a 94%. Point being is I respond very well when I have the right material.
Someone earlier said I just needed to keep looking for a teacher I can relate to.
I may be getting back at it soon because a friend got me a book on programing Python for kids. LOL. Sounds silly but i think that may work.

@DDonde Sweet. Did you learn it conventionally or did you do an online deal??

@Dainbramadge conventionally

@DDonde Yeah I am trying to find books and tutorials online to help me out. Gotta find the stuff that gives you enough information but in a way that I can absorb it.

@ChemDawg I didn't get to making graphics yet. I did however make a text based game using Def statements. But it all went to hell after that. LOL

@ChemDawg HA ha ha ha. I have no patients. LOL
Instant gratification. :-)
