Alright, /g/. How the fuck do programmers learn their languages? Computer science courses teach you how to add an image to a webpage, and web courses show you the SKELETAL core of languages. How the fuck do people learn programming languages and how can I?

No they don't. That's [barely] software engineering, not computer science.

What the fuck kind of school did you go to?
They taught Java at my high school. Was my high school really better than your university? Did you fall for the

meme?

Leave community college, the courses get way better.
Also, >>54757203 is right. You'll learn everything you need if you actually knuckle down and do shit.
>>54757178
You learn a language by doing a truckload of shit in that language.
You try to do X which you think you might be able to, when trying you will find things you don't know to do or don't really understand, then research them and use them, congratulations you have learned something.
Rinse repeat.
I'd also recommend something that lets you compare your code to someone else's, like codewars, but please don't try to make one-liners just because everybody else does.

People like you are the reason my associates think all I do is sit at the computer and play with Microsoft Office when I tell them im majoring in Comp Science. Its also the reason why so many idiots choose it then end up switching when they realize its not basic computer skills course.

During the first 2 years of university about 1/3rd of my subjects were on programming languages.
Another 1/3rd was basically programming stuff in the language you just learned.
