Sorry - What I meant is that if you wanted to improve your marketing skillset, object-orientated programming isn't going to be of much direct help. 

 

IMO - You'd be better off going to http:///www.codeacademy.com and learning the HTML/CSS/JS basics there, to help you build better e-mails, create landing pages, understand what your front-end guy is talking about etc.

 

Seymour - If you do want to learn programming, the book - Learn to Program by Chris Pine is amazing. Code Academy is also good to start learning anything and everything.

 

Personally I thought about something I would enjoy making it, and made it. Didn't even finish it  (I WILL THOUGH) but it got me to a standard whereby I was able to blag a job.

go for a programming language (python etc) and not a markup (html) or style (css) language

apparently the whole Summily story is just good marketing - investors found out this kid was making a news app and bought it+him then bought in the technology from elsewhere and just put the kid as the face of the company and the sh*t paid off

 

god knows what Yahoo are doing acquiring and simply shutting it down though

no - it doesn't matter if your hearts not in it, coding is a good skill to have

like its good to know maths even if you heart aint in it

[Guest chap44uns]

like with anything else

[Kurtis]

 and then.........

 

 

.....or better yet

 

really though that aint gonna happen is it?

EBooks and youtube

If you've got a budget, look at tekpub and pluralsight

You can start anytime. Practice makes perfect. Just start with something you're interested in -like developing something for your phone or some website idea you've got

Just play around and break things

Don't be scared to try man I've seen people coming into the trade at all ages. The main thing is that there is a massive shortage of skills in software development.

majority are upper middle class

martinez i was thinking more along the lines of web development then venturing into software but i assume thats working backwards

 

still will check that language, the way i was on this back in the day and got distracted. fuck.

[Mr. Martinez]

guys coming in with islamic history degree, and 6 years of social work - and bossing the ting

 

17 year old kids with literally nothing to spend their 40k a year on

 

it's a nuts place

[Horatio Caine]

 and then.........

 

 

.....or better yet

 

really though that aint gonna happen is it?

it can n it does, learn coding n do x amount of private jobs, money will be flowing in,believe

[dub]

most people don't make an app and get rich off of it, you make money by making apps for other people

[time_bomb]

hmm really i should jump on this, sport is too unstable

 

see this is the problem

 

you should only be jumping on something like this if your hearts completly in it

 

those looking to make a quick buck will end up giving up half way

 

na not even that, ive lived the dream, i been doing something i love but if my plans in sport dont work out i have nothing, i have no qualifications no trade no job experience nothing, really i should learn something on the side to go into if plan A falls through. This seems ideal, not cos of the money but cos i can learn and practise at home on my laptop.

[Guest chap44uns]

eeeeee

[Mr. Martinez]

Bangwagoning advice?

 

Are you joking?

 

I'm out here everyday arguing with every single one you fuckers about everything

[Mr. Martinez]

and BTW

 

If it wasn't clear enough already

 

I'm saying all of this because I went from not really knowing what I wanted to do with my life, having considered and tried many different things that just didn't feel right. Either because of the long-term prospects, or because I didn't really enjoy it.

 

then I realised everything I said on here, and now I'm well on my way to the dream tbh.

 

Don't watch Mario and Marvell. They'll tell you can't all day everyday. BUT If I was able to do it, so can you.
