What do you think about learning coding from books?I think books are better than YouTube. For example, some videos are not educational. Just "Wikipedia", just slieds. But books teach you everything. (actually I don't like books but I spoke like a parent haha)However, of course some books are bad. But, books I've encountered so far were very good
Books are generally a more trustworthy source of information—provided the author has deep, practical experience in the field. Experienced writers usually develop a great way of explaining complex theories, allowing readers to truly benefit from their expertise.However, a major drawback of books, especially in programming and computer science, is that they can quickly become outdated. Writing, reviewing, and publishing a book takes years, so by the time it hits the shelves, some of the information might be obsolete or no longer optimized.Ultimately, it depends on what you are looking for: if you want a solid introduction or a deep dive into foundational theories, go with a book. If you need a guide on a brand-new programming language or emerging software, a YouTube video or online resource is usually a better fit.
>>110125426You explained it better than I couldYou're definitely right. But if you are learning new language, books are still better. Because programming basics never change.
>>110124951What are some /g/ approved books for coding?
>>110124951Beware of recent ebooks: they're AI slop.>>110126119No Starch Press let's you download their books for free. The Think! titles are good for beginners.
>>110124951>learning to code in the big 26ngmi snailcat
>>110128277The vibe coders cries out as it attacks.
>>110126119theres others, obviously but theres this guyhttps://www.agner.org/optimize/
>>110128331you lost
>>110128351post code
>>110128277
>>110128379>give me that for freeno>>110128398keep seething, trans
>>110128401>t. doesnt produce codeso you shill chatbots, but dont even have a free tier.it takes a special kind of mental handicap to do this
>>110128438>give me that for free (again)Keep seething, I won't give you anything for freeCodetrans lost
>>110128401Somebody who knows cost will be a better prompter than someone who doesn't, quit being a faggot
>>110128455Nope, nobody needs you anymore
>>110128467You sure about that?
>>110128474>3 mounths agothey got fired again lolYou lost, transgender coder and you will die of hunger bc nobody will hire you
>>110128452>still not allowed to say trannySuch a great way to identify clankers.
>>110128452you dont have codeyou dont even know how programming worksyoure a larper and a not very smart one at that
>>110128489>>110128474>mounthsI lost
>>110128494hes not a clanker.hes just severely mentally handicappedhe spends his days being an advertisement billboardday in, day out
>>110128511Obsessed
>>110128522He is yeah, it's a little concerning
>>110128511Obviously paid per post. Look how eager xe is to always reply.
>>110128522nah, just after a whileyou get to know people (regretably)youre the most pathetic g posterand thats something of an achievement
>>110128534hes too poor for a free tierif hes getting paid it must be with exposure, kek
>>110128549you still lost and you will keep thinking of me instead of just ignoring my snailcats
>>110128563>doesnt push back against being called patheticur right, that would be a hard sell>w-why didnt you ignore me?why should i when i can call you pathetic?youre my temporary human piñata
>>110128580>still trans and obsessed with mego back to your maidtrans codetrans thread with your xisters
>>110128593nice projection you got there, closeted tranybc youre clearly obsessed with tranies yet refuse to call them like a normal anon
I learned coding from the qbasic chapter of DOS for Dummies when I was 8 and wrote programs on paper to type in to the school computers whenever I got the chance. I didn't get a computer at home until I was 14. I don't recommend it though, coding is dead, I haven't written code in months. Focus on learning prompting instead.
>>110128609>still at it Are you a boomer? It seems like you’re senile. Anyway, i'll keep bullying you with my snailcats and I will keep snailquoting you
>>110124951>learning codinglol, lmao even
>>110128616slighly more believable larppost code though
>>110128609He doesnt refuse to, he is just prohibited from doing so by whatever globohomo agency is paying him.
>>110128619>totally not obsessedur not bullying anyoneyoure just a passing nuisance until someone reports you and you'll be evading on the down low for the next 3 days, still desperate for attentionyoure just another skitzo retard but with the distinction youre the most pathetic oneyoure not even the most retarded, kek
>>110128631Ok I admit it, Hitler is paying me to mock codetrans
>>110128631i dont think anybody is paying himwe have something like 200 active users tops on this boardplus: hes exceedingly bad at shillingi think hes just autistic, autism of the chris chan type.
>>110128653>still cant say itIt's actually hilarious
>>110128652>has a folder with all my memes >starts crying when I post my cats>writes walls of text trying to convince me that codetrans aren’t obsolete Totally not obsessed lmao
>>110128676kek.thats delusional.or exceedingly inbredits a screenshot from desuarchive you complete imbecile
>>110128676I bet the marketing agency behind this failmeme wishes they could say codenigger instead, but they had to settle on the more inclusive codetrans kek
>>110128685>checks desuarchive to find my posts exclusively >takes screenshots of my postsObsessed
>>110128685I don't think it has that website in its training data
>>110128692You want me to get banned for posting /pol/ stuff
>>110128692that would be suitably fucking hilariousimagine you go to 4keks to shill your shitbut still bring reddit with youpaid or nottheres copious amounts of mental retardation in his process
>>110128709Yes
>>110128692>>110128710Both trans btw
>>110128698way to miss the point, inbred retard>typing "trans" in the search prompt brings up all xirs posts
>>110128726> way to miss the point, inbred retard>typing "trans" in the search prompt brings up all xirs posts
>>110128734>ill soiduel, that will show himulost, so fucking hardjust like you do every single timewhy do you even keep trying?
>>110128734Again, you'll be a better proompter if you know how to code so you're still useless
>>110128750> ulost, so fucking hard>just like you do every single time>why do you even keep trying?
>>110128753I don’t care
>>110128765>more of the sameum, ok
>>110128777>t.
>>110128619>bullied by snailcatsYou probably think this bothers people too.
>>110128785>more compulsive, impotent seething at programmersrent free.such is the lot of mental retards i guess
>>110128799>rent free. such is the lot of mental retards i guess
>>110128794already culturally appropriated.but some people just are resistant to knowledge i guesshe must be seething at an instinctual, semi conscious level
>>110128794Luddites get mad when I post snailcats idk why I guess they lost
>>110128808Ok during the Ai uprising we will cut your legs and arms and turn you into a real snailcat
>>110128812>tfw mad at snailcat postingbut sure, whatever lets you sleep at nightimagine failing even at low iq trolling...life would be unbearable
Every time I see people shitting on books they just come back around to describing a book>you should just look at code and code yourself then ask questions if you get stuckBooks show you code examples and tell you to do things on your own with advice>you should just look everything up step by step as you goBooks are a curated slice of info that you can use a reference to look things up as you go, and even better arranged to introduce things in a sane order if you're really unfamiliar>just watch tutorialsBooks are tutorials>reading a book cover to cover is a waste of timeSo look at the table of contents and go where you think you need to go, you're not obligated to read page 15 before you can read page 299>books are outdatedBooks receive updoots
>>110128837> imagine failing even at low iq trolling...life would be unbearable
>>110128825you will be in the first wave of those getting killed, thoughpretty guaranteed.people without any sort of skills always die first
>>110128849We will turn you into a snailcat but real I hope you enjoy your new life without legs and arms
>>110128865Kinda like a prooompter who can't understand the code he slops out
>>110128874Nah we are like gods
>>110128865>impotent ragesuch is the lot of being an inbred retard.you cant unfuck your genes, after all
>>110128879Except for the people who CAN read the code thoughbeit
>>110128879>t. doesnt even have the free tier
>>110128881It’s not rage, that’s what is going to happen, broDon’t blame me I didn’t write the rulesI advice you to start training how you will move around without limbs
>>110128888Go back bro we don’t want you here
>>110128919No
>>110128924Ok
>>110128907>its not rage, i just want your deathi know its not rageits *impotent* rage.you will die angry, and with an ulcerbecause youre retarded
>>110128933But I don’t want your deathI’m pointing out about your futureYou will be turned into a snailcat pet
the only way to learn
>>110128956youre mentally retarded thoughlike, in the clinical sense. you have the mental capacity of a 7 year oldi wouldnt trust your predictions if i were youbut again, that would be the smart thing to do...
>>110128988Keep seething tho
>>110129004i dont see why i would be seething......im not the one too poor for a free tier claude sub
>>110129036> i dont see why i would be seething...>...im not the one too poor for a free tier claude sub
>>110129042>ill soiquote, that will show himyeah, that shows me youre mentally handicapped
>>110129060Kekeke I just checked on the internet and it seems that some random gaymer codetrans (literally) killed himself by immolation on a livestream ekekekek
>>110128986Obsolete shit just use ai
>>110129120>t. totally not obsessed with tranieslolle>>110129167llms have a limited depth of lookupstay retarded i guess
>>110129203It’s your turn bro, you should start livestreaming just like your fellow coder friend
>>110129220>totally not wishing death upon programmers>>110128956your thoroughly mentally deficientand youre boiling with impotent rage
>>110129236It was a coincidence that I found that video while I was making fun of you, though
>>110129249suuurejust like your impotent seething is actually making fun of peoplei told youthe only thing thats remarkable about youis just how pathetic you are
>>110129267mindbroken
>>110129282-said the angry retard seething at programmers for 12 hours a day, each day.i know i brought up the big, grown up werdsbut how else am i gonna express the fact that youre pathetic?youre an inbred retard, too poor for a desktop, with zero skills whatsoever, unemployed, jealous of everyone around him, angry for that reason, and whose life depends on the layers of delusion he creates to avoid killing himself.oh, and youre dependent on other people's attention.i see no other word that would describe that, besides "pathetic".
>>110129316>inbreds out of nowhereObsessed
>>110128277So, please make for me a database with AI. I'm waiting.>>110128261>Beware of recent ebooks: they're AI slop.Who buy an e-book? And why? Just download pirated real books.>>110128986I think reading a physical book while at a computer is very difficult. Digital versions are better....And,Do you notice? I think the "Just use AI" anons sounds like a retard, I'm not fucking around. I'm serious.
>>110129359nonoyoure *clearly* inbredit takes a clown car of birth defects to end up like you
