lawdeedaw 14 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks to everyone except you. This is useless lol Thanks everyone for your input. I'm still taking suggestions Starting right now! Good luck! The key to learning programming is to never feel discouraged, it's going to take you a year or so of working every day until you will be making your own scripts without others help, and even after a year you still will look at code and have just no idea what it means which can be discouraging, as long as you don't give up it's easy good luck again! Incoming "it only took me 2 months to learn you must be dumb" comments haha. Which is another discouraging thing about programming, it can sometimes be hard watching others progress crazy fast. Just know professional programmers (counting professional as grad in computer science/engineering with a job in that field) have spent thousands of hours in the computer lab, they're always there ha. Like four years every days in the computer lab, so it's hard, but anyone can do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Sinatra 5 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Good luck and don't be discouraged by comments. You can do it trust me I'm just learning java now to write scripts but I have previous CS background. Definitely possible. Use the resources we have posted to you and put in work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungOG 3 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Good luck and don't be discouraged by comments. You can do it trust me I'm just learning java now to write scripts but I have previous CS background. Definitely possible. Use the resources we have posted to you and put in work. Took my words out of my mouth. It will be a difficult road, but one that can lead to many opportunities. As someone who works for a big football organization. Any sort of java can lead to endless possibilities, reach for the sky and keep on driving. A successful man does not just simply reach his goal. He must take 1000 twists and turns to ultimately get where he was planning with much suffering along the way. But he will be a better more enduring man. YOU GOTTA BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
