If a beginner wanted to pursue coding skills that would eventually make them valuable to #bitcoin and #Nostr ecosystem growth, where would you tell them to start? Which Languages? Which Systems? #asknostr

Python. Check out the app Mimo, which gamifies some of the basics👨💻
Headed that way now 🫡
Thanks for this. nostr:npub10vlhsqm4qar0g42p8g3plqyktmktd8hnprew45w638xzezgja95qapsp42 recommended the same to me at Bit Block Boom
Oops no I just found the note. He recommended PY4E.ORG 🤙
You can start with javascript, it will be important for development nostr.
GitHub and ChatGPT
Good tools, anything in particular you would suggest searching? 😂
just copy and paste the code from GitHub into ChatGPT and ask it to explain it to you (“ELI5”) then once you get the concepts ask ChatGPT to explain the code to you line by line
make lots of mistakes
try again
keep asking questions
repeat above until successful
If coding skill and knowlege is totally zero i think any language is good. Python is good becouse its easy to run, it has browser IDE's and good and large community to help.
Javascript is good too becouse it dont need compiling (python wont either). But what i think it wont have so good sources to learn as python has.
Anyway, anything goes, just start with "hello world" and go forward from there.
Besides MatLAB in university coding knowledge is zero. Thanks for your response! 💜🤙
If anyone is not crazy & needs to do something in #JavaScript, then #TypeScript will be used, which needs compiling.
Add #Angular on top of it & suddenly compilation times for C++ seem pretty acceptable, compared to #TypeScript with #Angular.
Then im crazy 😂
Next time i will check typescript, just to see why you said that. But yes. I was just speaking whats easiest way to learn basics and get started, so i was thinking its easier if you dont have to care having correct complier or anything. Just run js on browser dev console.
What’s important here is that I got lots of awesome feedback. Thank you both! 💜
Aren’t there any nice apps that can learn people how to code or get used to how coding works?
Of course every language has their own study but it would be great if there was like a duolingo for learning to code 👩💻👨💻
#asknostr
Something like this ?
Didn’t try it yet but I hear good things

I checked Typescript fastly. Is there any other advantages than better compatibility with IDE's?
Anyway, i might next time use it becouse why no, if its "same" language anyway 😄
Either Js or Python. NDK and Rust-Nostr (which has python bindings) are great frameworks. I'm sure there's others, too.

JavaScript (sadly)
