Maybe I find it difficult cause I'm self learning it, do you have any resources you can share with me or direct me toon JavaScript?

if you have an android device, you can start learning

haha, i switched to blender and one can use it to make 3d animated movies or 2d animations, just that i am not an artist, but it's as useful as commercial software and its free, one can even do architectural designs on it, and i find it intuitive and more friendly than maya too.

Some Free software's discourages one from even using commercial ones, but some free software's like blender have ways of getting income, that are friendly, and flexible.

Blender is sponsored by donations. It's really hard for them, but sometimes free software get as e be.

I can skip htlm and css and still be a programmer... what language I can learn.. I don't want to be a Web designer thou

yeah ... Python is good

Jesse6:
Omo I started learning programming
During the lockdown I spent months but I found out that programming isn't just my field

How do you know when something is not your field?

By facing difficulties after 6-9 months (assuming you tried everyday)?

I'm not saying you're wrong but it could be that giving it a little more time you may have broken through.

Tim Sweeney (if you know him) has said that before he made his first $100~ or so, he had programmed for
10s of Thousands of hours.

Cheers.

was learning java on my own..with the help of one guy always calling himself bucky...hello am bucky and am java tutor today we are going to be learning while loop..I loved that part got it on first attempt. my problem started when it was time to learn how to call up a code from one page to another page. I got stuck. also liked those if statements. if I had a tutor he would have put me tru.

wanted to learn HTML5 but along the way the tutor would say if you were good in CSS this would have been faster. or should I say my journey in php laravel. it exposed me to visual studios.

The creator of blender made that amazing software for free, and his intention, was not based much in profits, he loves sharing, but they have sponsors, like google, the manufacturers of graphic card, i think even Microsoft has joined to support them, because blender is been developed further for designs even with virtual reality.

And its has a huge community, due to its openness, people make money selling addons (complimentary software to boost productivity) sometimes, so also modelers sell their 3d models in online store.

It has a rich niche of interconnected community, of modelers, designers, gamers, architectural, film making.

Aha even creator of Unity game Engine also sponsors them.

CSTRR:

I don't want to be a web designer, but i am learning HTML and CSS.

They are the foundation.

I believe a good coder should have a decent background in the front-end.

Bro, that's absolutely cringe, it's not true at all, if you don't want to be a web designer learning css and html is a waste of time, they are merely languages that build the structure and feel of web sites they don't even use logic. And by the way front end is an ambiguous word to use, It is used in compiler design too and some other software, If not that you were talking about web design someone who knows stuff about both would be confused.

True, but (I'm not sure oh it was when I was watching an interview with the founder on YouTube that i saw this comment) there was a time they were lookin for sponsors badly or something. The programming world is interesting but you need the zeal to get through it.

Download sololearn app and practice. It's free and teaches you the basics all the way up.
You can also use w3school.com
Happy coding

i tell you bros....
it would be painful to use years to program something and some people crack it in days....

thats why i didnt went further....

lol cos at first, you're not interested in it. You only wanted to learn it for learning sake.
Well, there are still some apps that can't be cracked... So this is just an excuse to me

Programming is discouraging if you only write code. Writing code to another person's design is boring.

But most people quit early because they don't understand the steps they have to take (and why the have to take them) to build an application.

Java is basically static typed, and object oriented, which means if you are calling an instance of a class (object) from another object or from the main Class, then you have to ensure any initialization, in its constructor provides either a null value or a substantial value for any field in that object.

Its very easy, when you do not have to initialize any field in the constructor, but before using such field, you have to give it a value to prevent error generation, which when unhandled, will definitely stop your program from working, and you may not see the error more clearly although there would be an error description which is also helpful

that was then O, now blender has been drastically improved and has been modified to focus on 3d, 2D, and video, the game engine has been removed, so which means its more focused and much improvements in its tools, and has attracted sponsors, due to growing usage, and dedicated user community

What i keep telling newbies is this, just pick an area and concentrate solely on it, and dont every rely on one source of learning simple e.g if i want to learn dotnet core i would concentrate solely on c# and downlod as many learning resources on c# and dotnet core mosh hamaedani c# udemy series, joseph alambari c# the definitive refernce series etc.
Withing 6-8 months of pure dedication, boom you already a developer.

c# > java by the way .

Don't ever say that again...

I heard it was used in a movie for cgi.

Are you okay?

Yes its been used for movies too, it can do CGI effects too, due to its Node editor, although i hardly use it though, my concern is the computational power required to render manipulated images with the Shading or compositing editors.

But its quite modest if you have a green screen

Java developers spend a lot of time trying to fix language constructs and spend a lot of time tieing up lose ends. .net is a much more organized technology stack and allows you to focus on the software you are actually developing

No wonder many great dev migrated to java having tried out c# .net

born2begreat:
I am also a victim of this and i think the problem with me that's not included in your write-up is "Distraction". I'm 37 just engaged, more responsibilities even i earn less than 45k monthly. I have learnt HTML, CSS3 using codecademy and freecodecamp, Wordpress, AWS solution architect, Python... I didn't complete learning all these because of distraction from myself or my family. I am the first child of my family, a breadwinner despite earning less i still don't like seeing them suffering. I know the only solution to my PROBLEM of having my full concentration of programming is to get a job as an intern but will be earning monthly even if it is just 20k while all i will be doing is learning and doing something. You can only be better and be improving at what you do everyday. Unlike this menial job i'm doing here from 7am to 5pm and get home everyday very tired. I still have thirst and passion for programming and i pray my problem is solved soon because it's paining me alot. May God help me

You are not in this alone, may God help.

Forget TIOBE index I want your opinion what area apart from Android is Java relevant.

Do you just think a language would maintain it top 3 spot for over 2 decades if its relevance is in a domain?

nope....languages always get improved with more syntaxes....

dont depend on a language will stay the same for that long....

dont forget the hardware aspect....

Ok. Nice.

For those who have been aspiring to learn but always meet with a brick wall, this is for you. Come February 5th, a bootcamp on web and app development would commence, and it's going to be two months of intense session. Check flyer below, the registration link is there, and guess what, it's absolutely FREE! Hurry up, because limited slots are available.

Java keeps evolving, I think you know that?

The evolution of Java makes it remain ubiquitous in the industry and relevant. It's a reliable PL. The major reason people don't like it is because of it verbosity and it learning curve is steep.
