It seems like our field is getting cucked hard at the moment with an artificial push for more women and minorities to join so they can lower our salaries.
This is probably the last generation of real programmers. In a few years if you're not only in the field your degree is as good as a Women's studies degree. I just hope I'm not too late senpai

It is a diverse field so you can apply computing to anything. Just find that thing you like to do program for. From a language perspective there is low to high which means that if you write in a high level language you dont need to be really good at math, so if you suck it wont be a big deal.

How is this a bad thing, family? You really think Shuhmeeka and JayQuan are going to be writing anything useful, much less critical? They'll essentially be building Ikea bookshelves and calling themselves carpenters.
There are going to be languages so abstracted (read: slow, bloated, utter horseshit) that the syntax will probably look more like HTML than C. If you're two steps above "fucking retarded", it's gonna be a gravy train.
Nobody needs software developers in Germany
All they want are web designers with cms skills for browser land

You can always become a sysadmin, IT departments have very few women mostly.

You can either do it, or you can't. Learning how to program is essentially learning how to channel an ability you already have through a strict set of rules. If you like puzzles, you'll like programming.
That's for algorithmic programming, of course. A lot of what programmers do with existing APIs is no different from what builders do to build a house. Anyone can do it.
>>70520410

I'm not worried.
Most women won't be 1) willing, or 2) able to do the work to get the degree in the first place. After that they still have to be able to produce.
The job I have opened because a woman got fired. The place I work for will shitcan you if you can't or aren't doing the work.

When you work on a project with more than 10 people on it you'll learn to enjoy those limitations more than you'd expect.
Yes, if it's you and 2 other people and you are in charge you can write your entire project in Lisp, re-writing the entire language as you go along, and with a strict enough set of rules it'll even work.
Try that with even just one, much less a few, pajeet-tier people and you'll want to choke on a tailpipe within the first week.

But what is the cancer is the kind of programmer that feels the need to have all his tools built for him already. He needs a special hammer for every single nail, because learning how to make hammers is too much work. Options, options that you don't even need to use, are too scary for you, so you use a language that people make workarounds to fix the shortcomings. You'd rather have java's dumb version of multiple inheritance than a simple effective method because you have to have your special two inheritance hammer

Python's not particularly useful for learning because the learning material always, always glosses over teaching much about data structures and algorithms. And what is programming if not the employment of data structures and algorithms to solve problems?
>>70521888
Yes and Yes
Pick a language e.g. Python is really easy to learn, Java is a bit less easy but has a lot more community support since it's a lot "bigger" language. You can learn in any language but those two are fairly good first choices. If you post asking for advice on what begginer language to use be aware it will start a flame war on what language is best.
Then read through a textbook on that language, do all the example exercises, and then choose something interesting as a project to be going on with. It doesn't have to be anything particularly cool or world-changing, but something with a decent project scope (for a beginner) e.g. a menu driven caesar cipher encryption/decryption tool (that was my first programming assignment at uni).
The main thing is to sit down and actually write some code, get some experience.

Assembly is quite easy. It's merely time-consuming and often for very minor gains.
Hence why we write stuff in C and use inline assembly and/or intrinsics instead.

I don't mean to give the implication that standards are completely wrong, but if you can't understand something as simple as inheriting things, than maybe you shouldn't be programming, or at least not using that tool, seeing as how you can't get around it just like how Java does.
I don't even hate Java, it has it's uses, but the fact that its treated as the only language now is quite stupid. Even if all the projects you ever work on are just Java, you should have had at least a taste of not only other languages but other paradigms while in school

Still studying and mostly interested in algorithm stuff. Runtime tests and so on. Not really a fan of software engineering.

It's not about not understanding the actual programming concept, but the way people typically use it.
If you're ever worked on an actual project, it's been worked on by dozens of people, with different skill levels, some are not working here anymore, and so on.
With operator overloading, everyone expects a certain behavior when it comes to arithmetic operations (and even then, most people don't understand floating point operations), but once another programmer starts doing something clever with it, everything goes out the window.
In the real world you don't actually add or divide objects.

listen to what that other fag said, the best way to start imo is to have a project you want to complete so you are actually working towards some end goal (ie make a website that takes in the value of pizza sizes from two different places and the price, and see which is the better deal)
raspberry pi's are accessible to you and cheap if you need ideas for a project to start with.
Are there any other famous, high-level programming tricks like the fast inverse square root that are very difficult to figure out by yourself and make you think "how the hell did they come up with that?"

When I do x++, code I've written thousands of times in many languages in many years I expect a very particular type of behavior.
If you screw up and throw exceptions, add other side effects or what the fuck ever in the implementation of your operator, then you've destroyed any trust I can have in that concept, forever.
It takes one idiot to add one log statement to make me distrust that concept. When I do x++ I know what to expect. When I do x.foo() I know I should expect anything.

>On Universities you sometimes have to write algorithms on paper. No Google and stuff like that.
That's the case here as well.
The basic Algorithms class exam I took a couple of years ago gives you problems that you are then required to write your own algorithm for (in text or pseudocode) following a particular design paradigm like divide-and-conquer, greedy algorithms and similar.
I don't think a single CS class actually allowed anything more than pen, paper and occasionally a calculator on the exams.

I'm assuming this is a response to me?
We were required to solve particular problems writing our own algorithms. It didn't really matter if it was an adapted mergesort or some hodgepodge of your own as long as it fell into the required paradigm (incremental algos, divide-and-conquer ones, decrease and conquer are those I recall being mentioned) and that they were efficient or fulfilled a Big O requirement.
There were also questions about particular algorithms but those were fairly easy in comparison.

Well in a Tetris sense he is right, theres probably more broken PHP Code out there that needs to be fixed than any other language combined. You can get your hands very early on and see motivating results. The pain and frustration comes much later.
Its similar to JS, you don't really learn the fundamentals, but it takes you in the neighborhood like a good looking russian prostitute and then you can still decide for one of their more docile and sensible woman.
>>70523983
I'm talking about the algos.

>>70523868
Probably something like Head First C#, C# in Depth, CLR via C Sharp, C# 6.0 and the .NET 4.6 Framework.
There's probably a bit of overlap in there but those are the books i've saved up for learning C# more indepth myself.
And if you want to make games just download Game Maker or Unity and start fiddling around with that.

>>70523564
I would say no.
While javascript is easy enough to learn, and has a lot of resources available, it's an extremely bad language for beginners since quirks in the language (such as the type system and equality operators) make it possible to do things that cannot be done in more sensibly designed languages.
At least in my experience, people who pick up javascript as a first language experience a lot of difficulty adjusting to something which has a lot stronger type system.
Also, people get confused between Java and Javascript, when in reality javascript has nothing to do with Java. I've seen people posting on /g/ asking how to compile javascript, or how come their java code doesn't work in a web browser. Grim stuff.
>>70523491
It still takes time to get up to speed on other languages. C++ is a solid foundation but its not going to get you hired for jobs using other languages unless you have a few years of work experience with it.
>>70523627
If you are asking specifically about useful for the game industry, after C++ is probably C# but only due to Unity engine. Scripting languages like LUA are also used but don't waste your time with them unless you want to be a designer instead of a programmer. C could be useful but is not used as much these days outside of aging engines.
>>70523986
It is the equivalent of saying "Yeah sure I want to be a professional driver, but only with automatic gears."
There comes a point when you need to understand the logic behind your drag and drop, and you will also need to do some basic algorithms and data-modeling when making a game. Hell, Unity even accepts C# snippets for this exact purpose

Python is very forgiving if you're new and learning it will give you skills that transfer over to every other language you learn.
Once you get a handle on Python, you can try this:
>http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/
Or go your own way and learn something else. Programming is basically like learning a real language; you need to use it, practice with it, expose yourself to it etc.

I would still recommend starting with an engine for anyone wanting to get into game development because:
1. Knowledge of an engine itself is useful for intern/entry level positions at companies using that engine.
2. Most people give up very quickly when making games, especially when they don't make much visible progress. Engines let you skip a bunch of early unfulfilling work reinventing the wheel and instead you can experience solving a bunch of game development related problems.
Otherwise if you really want to try making your own "engine" I would recommend making first a terminal based text adventure followed by pong and snake using SDL or XNA. Or if you want to do it the hard way use DirectX or OpenGL directly.
