Ha, you can learn to code at home, but the abstract theory stuff that teaches you what works well and what doesn't requires real schooling.

For the first two, you will be learning basic logic, and Prolog.

This was my computer science course.

truth about the computer engineering course here. math and physics and more math with some databases for the first 2 years, then javascript c# java and finally 4th and 5th year c++

Glad I didn't go engineer

Guys, why does my program leak so much memory?!?!?!?!

Program written in Java, guy never used C++ and has no conception of why this even happens

Pointers will come back to haunt you, no matter what language you use lol

Even on web stuff, enjoy leaking memory because web browsers have two different garbage collection schemes and neither one will clean up dom objects with events attached :allears:

Like, if I want to know if someone knows poo poo about a computer, I ask them what adding integers to a pointer does in C++

In EE they taught C in like the first semester, half of the poor bastards had never programmed before and the professor had a sink-or-swim mentality. I think about half of the class dropped and/or switched majors by the time the semester was over.

CS has a 50% drop rate regardless of how much the professor holds your hand

I learned programming on my own and tried to get a job. Nobody would hire me without a piece of paper saying I knew what I already knew. So, I went to a small tech college to take a year-long programming course to get a piece of paper. I ended up teaching the last two months of my own course, which was pretty neat. The first class I taught was Java.

the c programming language by kernighan and ritchie was my intro to programming(self-taught, or rather self-teaching) and i feel that i understand pointers perfectly. i'm a big retard so it doesn't stop me coding without thinking about what i'm actually doing sometimes but the explanation in that book is about as clear as it comes.

it's brutal to learn from that book sometimes though, like the exercises at the end of the first chapter. i haven't found many books that are that hard even by the very end, let alone at the end of the first chapter.

Everybody who programs in an OO language uses pointers whether they know it or not.

yeah understanding pointers really helped me understand the "reference" model you see in java, python, (maybe c++ i havent used it yet lol), etc. this, in python:

code:

 L = []
L.append(L)

would make zero sense to me if i didn't know how pointers worked.

But how do you know which part to write? I propose this:

code:

void* my_malloc(size_t lmaodontcare)
{
    return string + rand();
}
