Like to add if we get stuck to offer help to each other.

Just read the syllabus and this is awesome. I will try to start on Sunday and use this class and hopefully achieve a cert towards my current job progression.

Yup that's the plan hopefully,

I plan on doing it every Saturday

Really appreciate this drop. Currently, I am a system analyst and learning to code would be awesome because all I deal with is applications interface laguages etc....

 

[Rich Spirit]

I have no background in IT, but i'm still going to do this

 

[CELL]

I signed up.

I'm a web developer and looking to further my PHP and SQL back-end programming. Any one hit me up if you're into the web and wanna start smashing this course out with the coli brehs.

In fact any one wanna make a Coli group, including discussions about the week lectures? Let's get these certs brehs

 

[PS5 Pro]

If there's anyone here that's serious about learning to code and ever needs some help with something they're learning feel free to hit me up. I program for a living and I've taught others professionally and am happy to help people learn how to program.

Oh look at this know it all as nikka. You know it all Kodie. You be giving out lectures n shyt my nikka
You really tryna earn this Rekkapryde Mod of the year trophy huh man

Spoiler

:ufury:

signed up, and im off this month

Too bad the course doesn't start til the 29th, basically next month

I will take you up on that offer.

The Coli is providing more then just music and piff Coli>

True, but now "the man" has a reason to shut this joint down

 

[Super Cheech]

Signed up...let's do this brehs

 

[Kartel13]

I'll check it out

Let's use the thread for that

signed up. Why not learn something new for free?

Was always interested in programming anyway

Ok so i just finished Lecture 1 of Lesson 0 , all is simple enough brehs , but can someone explain this in another format? Its a simple algorithm to explain how to count people in a room

Now i know this is basic algebra but every time i tried to follow the county i was wrong , i kept being off by 1 or 2

@Kodie

also for those wondering Lesson 0 is two 1 hour lectures + assignments

 

[newarkhiphop]

also is it easier to learn to code using a windows machine or a MAC? i have access to both, i noticed a lot of the people in the lecture including the professor are using macbooks

I also finished Lesson 0 yesterday and doing some problem sets today.

From what I understood :
The setting is N = 0, so it's the first value of N
- First step, you take the 1st value, so it's N = 0 + 1 = 1. After the first step, N = 1. And 1 is N's 2nd value.
- Second step, you take the 2nd value, so it's N = 1 + 1 = 2 and so on.

EDIT : For the second algorithm with N = N + 2, it's also the same. N is set at 0
- First step (ie, first pair) : N = N + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2 ; N = 2
- Second step (ie, second pair) : N = N +2 = 2 + 2 = 4 ; N = 4 and so on...

I don't know if I'm clear, but it's clear to me

If you're on windows, just download notepad++.

so if there is 4 people in the room for example

person 1 = 0
person 2 = 1
person 3 = 2
person 4 = 3

??

i knew i should paid attention during algebra

You forgot the formula. The basis is two things : { N = 0 AND N = N + 1 }. If you don't do the second part, your count is wrong and therefore is your increment.
N1 = N + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1 => N = 1
N2 = N + 1 = 1 + 1 = 1 => N = 2
N3 = N + 1 = 2 + 1 = 1 => N = 3
N4 = N + 1 = 3 + 1 = 1 => N = 4

EDIT : I put some numbers after N, just to materialize the step, but all along, there is only one variable which is N. The variable as it's named changes during the whole time the algorithm goes and evolves with it.

from what i understand, we will be coding using a linux based OS using a virtual environment.
