I took a few courses that taught C++ back then, don’t remember much from back then tho
I think just learning syntax for now is an alright way to start, since you are effectively starting from scratch and that is a hard initial hurdle for people with zero experience sometimes
you can do tutorials or games or whatever to put ideas in your head but none of that learning will actually solidify into anything until/unless you do some kind of project on your own
anyway this question counts as today's poll
Rust?
I think just find some youtube series that explains the basics, then trying to think of "I wonder how I'd do this" and trying to figure it out would be a good way to go about it
rust was invented by satan as a means of disrupting the natural order
rust is the current meme where everyone is demanding things be coded in rust
or something
Vinny if you learn Cobol you can get a job working under Polu
I could recommend you textbooks orientated at learning python for doing physics problems but uh, I am 99% sure that is not what you want
and would probably be no more useful than just finding a good youtube tutorial series

i lied
black can very rarely be good (I've had some Australian one I liked) but it's terrible in general
I'm shocked people like red
since that just means they like twizzlers
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 since that just means they like twizzlers
twizzlers and red vines are a completely different taste
I think this is the one I liked
but I don't remember for sure
other than it had a kangaroo on it
what's strange is I like anise when cooking or w/e
i'll eat black licorice too but
i am team red overall
excluding Hershey's, I guess most other pure chocolate you can buy is sorta fancy
I'd still call it candy technically
even if I agree, you're not buyging a nice dark cocolate bar to eat as candy
