Learning To Code
Our Experience
The transition to learning code has had a varied steepness, since some in our group has coded before while it is completely new to others. Regarding programming, those of us that had previous programming experience come with knowledge in Java, Python, or Javascript.
In the programming course, many students have encountered an issue with the JavaFX section. In reality, the JavaFX package is already obsolete, but for some reason we have to find a way to make it work on the most recent Java version. It could even come up on the examination, which is shocking. Then again, what can us students do but to obey the laws laid down by the king of programming. In reality, though, who uses JavaFX today professionally? This is very perplexing.
Some that are struggling with programming have difficulty with constructing the logic behind the code. This comes with practice. Code made by two different persons can look very different. In regards to our assignments, we are somewhat bound to following the rules of the text, but it would be interesting if we would try a more open challenge with less boundaries. When following the assignment text, we may argue about small details, despite the code working very similarly.
So far, we have gotten an introduction to Java. Yet, there are still a multitude of other vastly used programming languages like SQL, Python, C#, C++, and Javascript, of course. Then there are different fields of programming, such as app development (ex. Android, iOS), game development, web development, system development, and many more. In app dev, there are even more topics to cover, such as multiplatform development, and which program to use for the actual development and testing. This is yet only grasping the surface, as there are more advanced fields such as cloud development, server development, server and web security, artificial intelligence, financial programming, and business analysis.

Code is completely new to me, so I find it fairly difficult. I have yet to fully grasp the concepts and translating my ideas into code. I will have to practice a lot. In the future, I would like to learn advanced logarithms and coding that can benefit scientific research.

I programmed a bit last year in Java, Python, etc. so it hasn't been too hard yet. I'm looking forward to learning more and improving my understanding and knowledge. I'm curious about many topics - like artificial intelligence, web security, app dev, game dev, and more, but unless you are a genius, you got to focus on one thing (at the time).
Seriously, though, I'm guessing that the person's name is Peter / Patricia.

I have some previous experience with web development, but programming is still quite challenging. On the positive side, I managed to do all the required assignments, and am proud of that. I like to make websites and hope to do this professionally one day.

I'm familiar with C++ so it was a smooth transition to coding in Java. I would like some more challenge to test my skillz, bro. I'm not talking about LoL. My dream is to become an ethical hacker and fight cyber crime - just like in the movies.
