The Learn Project - Learning to code, 21st century style

Laternenpfahl

Steve Jobs:

Everyone should learn how to program because it teaches you to think. different?

That was the easiest way to cram this concept into 4 words.

Anyway, I was thinking we could all work together to create a sort of tutorial site that lets people learn programming.

Tutorial site as in you can help out, but this is not a wiki.

These tutorials will be labeled similar to Java-1: Getting Started or C++-1: Hello, World!

For now, it would be easiest to start with only a few languages:

C++
Java
Python
Web Design
Processing
Batch

If you are interested, please post what language you would be willing to help out with.

If you sign up, please check back daily, updates will be posted on this thread.

More info soon…

Files: You MUST reference to images as <img src=“#resource#image.png”>exampleimg.png</img>, or link to a file download as <a href=“#resource#example.zip”>Download a zip</a>. Note: NO slashes or specified folders, use double quotes.
Files are to be made as html files without <body>, <head>, or <html> tags. Doctype is also not needed.
You should use ONLY p, img (as explained above), and h2 tags
You are welcome to have many lessons, so don't cramp too much into one - one lesson should focus on one thing.
It is recommended that you, every 4 or 5 lessons, have a small project to have the user work on.

I recommend you upload images to tinypic so they can be copied to the site. If you do not know how to use the formatting explained above, you may post the lesson contents into a [quote][/quote] BBcode tag here.

I could probably help with some basic and intermediate Java.

poopo

I could do advanced Java techniques such as networking and graphics.

Laternenpfahl

Backend is coming along nicely, Java registrations closed.

Is anyone interested in teaching a HTML, CSS, JS class?

Thank you!

Thanks! If you can help with anything, please tell me

If anyone would like to help somehow, I need some 280px W x 174px H thumbnails (background white, PNG):

C++ (just “C++”)
Python (Python logo)
Web Design (some form of globe…?)

DONE (thanks, fire219!)

With Laternen and Fire on it, I bet it'll be pretty good

Hm… are you doing all aspects of web design?

Because there are things like:

- JavaScript
- jQuery
- Styling
- PHP/MySQL

OrcaCat

I could do Python if I find time and motivation.

That would be great!

jji7skyline

This would be very useful. I'd like to apply for web design, here are 2 examples of my work.

The only thing I could help with is Java and web design, but they are both closed. I guess if you ever need anyone else to help with those, let me know.

dantefrizzoli

PHP guy here <————————–

poemon1

Java. First language I have learned, probably my best language.

banana500

I can probably help with Web Design, mostly HTML and CSS, but I can also help with jQuery stuff too.

Laternenpfahl

again,

REGISTRATIONS ARE CLOSED FOR JAVA AND WEB DESIGN.

Is that a yes or a no?

Laternenpfahl

Scratchisthebest and poopo, can you work together and arrange a list of courses, then create the tutorials? That would be great
