Hi /g/
I've been getting into programming and i wanna do some javascript stuff. However i'm not really sure how to get started.
I don't know what editor to use, and i can't even seem to find a download for the language.
I usually write codes in groovy, which has and editor and an easy download.
Plz help
Use the general
>>52059854
I dont understand? whats the general?
>>52059975
You're not smart enough to program

>editor
Use vim

>learn JavaScript
Try the book Head First Java script programming

It has a chill friendly writing style to it. Good for complete beginners.

OP, what do you want to do with JS?
According to /dpt/ you should just dress as a girl, embed a buttplug, read that book that actually no one reads and code fizz buzz everyday in ANSI C using vim.
The better way is actually having a cool idea or problem, and just focus on doing/fixing that. Then select the tools and learn them.
But for most stuff :
Frontend Webdevelopment: HTML, CSS and Javascript. All of them, but you can cheat using pre-made stuff(libraries/frameworks) and actually don't understand what is going on: not recommended.
Backend Webdevelopment: Python, Ruby, Go, Java. Pick one, but the ones on the left are more recommended because there are loads of libraries and documentation for them. I personally really like Go.
Desktop development: C#(windows), Swift(OSX), Java(cross platform)
I don't have much experience in this field. But I'm sure C# is nice on Windows. Don't know if Swift is ready for use.
Game development: Don't, but if you insist go with an engine. Else you can try C++ and give up after a couple of days.
App development: Java(android), Objective-C/Swift (iOS)
Scientific, math heavy programming: Python, MATLAB
Small scripts : Python, Ruby. For small tasks you shouldn't have to compile.
Hardware Development: C is nice in this field, you can also completely depend on Arduinos and learn a weird dialect. VHDL, too much typing, but catches all your errors, if you like FPGAs
>>52061805
Oh and avoid Javascript as the fucking plague. You're completely dependent on it in the frontend, so especially for personal (full stack blabla) webdev projects you can't avoid it. But that's not a reason to do all the things in Javascript.
>>52061854
Is there something wrong with full stack Javascript, anon?
>>52061898
Yes, because the language wasn't designed for that. But there are probably a lot of resources and documentation for Node, so it is not completely retarded. But it only exists because of frontend devs who wanted to do the backend as well.
I personally really dislike working with Javascript.
>>52061997
>Yes, because the language wasn't designed for that
Funny you should mention that, considering Netscape actually made a server-side implementation a long time ago, called Netscape LiveWire. While it wasn't fantastic, it was part of the vision that Netscape had for the language.
Out of curiosity, why do you dislike working with JS?
@lynda.com..probly is a best way to start..

True nigga gentlmen.
>>52061539
I agree I've learned a lot from the site.
~HTML/CSS
~JavaScript 91% done.
>>52061805
great list. I would like to expand it though.
>Desktop development: Python and C++ is good for this. There is a lot of libraries to use and they are both easy and cross platform.
>Scientific: Python is good for general stuff, matlab is good for visual mathematics.
If you just want to make a quick script that analyses your data so you can make some statistics: R is the language to use.
Hardware Development: NXC (lego) and Arduino is very close to C, but in general, C is the best language for embedded devices.
VHDL and Verilog are hardware description languages used for ASIC and FPGA's.
It is tedious, surrounded with headaches but you learn a lot about how everything works by implementing it in hardware.

fuck. did you just give me a new fetish?

Use Sublime
>>52060005
>lol the "not smart enough to program" meme
you do realize, any half brain idiot can do what you do, only difference is that half brain idiot will find something easy to do, and prefer to do it instead ( like brick layering), but wait theres a catch, if that said idiot is even 1/25 more stupid he will push himself to understand the simple logic of general purpose programing and do it anyway, it might take him half the time more than you, but eventually he will learn.
And to defend my thesis, there is more than one girls out there that do "programming".
>>52059839
Sublime or Atom, both wrecks.
I prefer Atom if I do HTML/CSS/JS at once, but I find Sublime more distraction free and easy on my laptop to focus on one thing.
So just try both or even find something else, like notepad++ or whatever floats your boat.

Literally what
The one definitive advantage Java has (not only in web development, but in general) is its massive popularity, sheer amount of documentation, frameworks, libraries and helpful experts.
Not to mention, nothing can rival Spring Boot.

>Implying brick laying is easy.
>>52061679
Is there a plugin for a vim that work like m$ visual intelj?
>>52059839
>picks up the empty bucket and gives it back
Fucking lmao
>>52062798
she can put on pants
>>52064171
I know, but I think as a first language, you can probably do better on backend dev with other languages
>>52060025
>damn nigga i would stay laying down until they closed
It's okay, she's a girl. They probably blamed the carpet for rape.
>>52062798

It's basically period blood but covering 3 entire blocks.
I couldn't imagine the suffering.
>>52063981
brick laying is not easy. i'd like to see you frame a house with traditional methods used before DuPont and all cheap materials "craftsmen" use today.

Hijacking this thread

What do you guys think about Ruby?
I have some basic knowledge of C++, C# and C, I'd like to try something different, not sure if Python or Ruby would be the best idea
>what do you want to do
Primarily develop Android apps, so I'm already covered by C#, I just really want to mess around with a new language that is comfy and not overly complicated.
>>52064687
Today it's her no-panties day. What an unfortunate coincidence!
>>52059839
please don't full stack with JS
>>52059839
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I would be kicked out from laughting this hard holy shit
