I found out that it is really hard to learn programming languages by yourself  ;9. I can do it, but more than anything I would like a partner, talk to me if u want to learn to but feel overwhelmed by learning. Having a partner can produce great results! So I am saying, I want a partner really bad.  ;D

Do you know any other programming languages?

Krebel

novice level ROR,PHP,Liberty basic, intermediate to good at HTML. not to good at anything but C++ is my focus, not them.

Learn something easier first, C++ is one of the hardest languages to learn/use.

On the contrary Wingard, C ++ is suppose to be a really programming language to learn. It is actually a really program friendly language as well.

Just because I am not advanced really well in a certain programming language doesn't mean I can not take on a programming language of its calibur. C++ has everything I need in a programming language, plus more, also so far I have found it moderately easy to learn, I just much much prefer it to have a partner.

I was attempting to fool around with C++ a few days ago, but for the time being I decided to stick with PHP.

C++ doesn't seem all that hard, since you know the basics of some other languages.  Functions, if statements, else, etc.  It all sort of flows together.

I might eventually decide to mess with it again, if I do I might let you know. ~ :P

Krebel

That would be nice Jalkson. Thanks for thinking about it.

The reason I asked about other programming languages was to determine your programming experience and abilities.
I know that the one question alone is not enough.
Especially your experience with other object oriented programming languages is of interest.

I suggest you try to find a partner that is about your level in programming and object oriented design.

For example, I have not learned C++ and I could be your partner, but that might be a bad idea. Why?
I consider myself as a fairly proficient scripter. I think the general consensus in the forum is the same.
Ruby is not my primary programming language, it is Java at which I am more proficient.
I have been studying full time at a university learning the art of programming. I have learned many object-oriented concepts.
I am afraid that if I join you as partner I would run away from you. If you have to learn the object oriented concepts and designs in addition to the language specific functionality, concepts and syntax then you would probably have to use much more time than I.
It could be demotivating experience, which is rarely good for learning.

If I have guessed wrong about you skills and you are proficient and object oriented analysis and development and/or are a proficient algorithm writer I will consider joining up.

My point is, find someone that is neither too good nor too bad compared to you. That is, if you want a partner.

*hugs*

I am not quite there in any language. Although training with someone that has much more experience then me has been a generally good experience, even though in this situation I am sure you would learn at a much faster pace than I. So I agree, although I can learn at a much faster pace than i usually do. I just slack off a bit by myself lol.

In that case it would rather be a student-teacher relationship than a partnership.

I wish you luck in finding someone ^_^

Kokowam

Can I have a student-teacher relationship with you? ;D

Krebel

Well it wouldn't really be a student teacher relationship unless you knew C++ right? it would just be some slightly awkward rebel to Zeriab relationship lol.

@moo, if you are talking to me, if your serious then yes.

Kokowam

Lol. I'll learn C++ from anyone. ;D It's obvious Zeriab is of higher level in C++ (no offense but he's a Martian so he's got the upper hand) and maybe I could learn from him after learning from you or something. ;D

Krebel

Well I have website tutorials ive been reading on, if you do want to learn, PM on here, or add me on that yahoo I have on my profile on a messenger.

Jalkson

Moo, weren't you trying to learn HTML/CSS, and PHP just a while ago?

How many languages do you intend to learn at once? :P

Kokowam

Uhhh... Well... HTML isn't really a language and there really isn't much you need to learn for it. CSS either. You just need a previously made CSS file to use as a reference, pretty much. A lot of the glitter of CSS or HTML or site making in general is from images, imo (except for the one Nouman showed me called "Leaves"), and I can't do that. And PHP, I just never found a good place to learn from. :P

Krebel

Have you tried, http://w3schools.com for PHP learning? It seems decent, and I am personally learning some PHP from a dear friend of mine.

Krebel

I don't care for website learning to much, its to much visual not enough participation from my senses.

Jalkson

There are a lot of places to learn PHP, as well as pretty much any other language. :P

Any luck finding someone to learn c++ with?

Krebel

No one who is willing to stick to it yet.

Kokowam

I'll learn. :V Nah, I'll learn on my own for now and maybe later.

Jalkson

I'm still sticking with PHP for now, at least until I get a better understanding of it.  I've also downloaded Ruby on Rails to check that out.

Hope you find someone to partner up with.

Krebel

Alright, thanks for being concerned lol. There is a possible one but we shall see.
