I got a 1000 day streak in Duolingo yesterday. Still don’t speak a word of Spanish. Now I can finally delete that horrible app.
Because Duolingo isn’t enough. I had two years of Rosetta Stone before I went to China. It was just enough for me to survive, but it was not enough per se. Duolingo isn’t any better. It’s been useful to keep my skills, get some vocabulary, but it isn’t enough!
You need to actually practice.Really? I did a 365 day streak in Japanese (and most of that time was spent learning Hiragana and Katakana) but I still had some basic phrases down at the end.
Kanji broke me in the end though, Duolingo really doesn’t do it well.
Pure code tutorilals but nothing about the environment is why it took me so much to get started in programming.
The distinction is usually completely omitted. Java as a language is fine if a little verbose, but the JVM is a pain. And you really only realize the difference once you use either with alternatives, like Scala in the JVM or Java as a cross compilation language. A tutorial would have to be “this is how you write a main class/function in this language, for/while/in keywords etc., but in a JVM environment you need a File, a BufferedReader, and a BufferedWriter to open a file and read/write to it. StringBuffer is standard library and part of the language, using Scala will allow functional aspects, but the file handling remains.”
I once finished an Android developer tutorial, and immediately decided I wanted nothing to do with Android development.
assuming something computer related, for me tutorials are for:
- a quick way of learning where commonly used things are in the UI
- an idea of what i can do with the thing
- the very basics that i can then look up in the documentation if i’m unsure or want to learn more about
Yes but you think you know everything and isn’t that what really matters?
when i was first learning gamedev, i wanted to make a game following tutorials thinking i would learn a better way to do stuff
i failed to do that, making a game mostly without watching tutorials
Literally me, thanks buddy, now I know enough to know that I know nothing, either give up or start planning a investment of time so large that I can’t make the space necessary
Me after my 3rd Vulkan tutorial…
