I'd like to use this month of vacation not only to relax, but also to become slightly less terrible at programming.
I used to be a (severely incompetent) Java dev, so I have some knowledge of programming. I'd like to build a few simple webapps so I can finally start contributing to #FOSS.
Any recommendations on where to start? I'm thinking of taking a C course to finally learn some basics, and then picking up Python again.
@Gina Gina, what is it what you want to develop? I guess that is the first question to address here :)
@rpalomar I'd like to become better at scripting, thus Python, and at contributing to FOSS webapps. In the very far future, I'd like to maybe see if I can contribute to LibreOffice (C++), but that's not for now.
@Gina I would sharpen my Python skills first (that will give you a high-level language which is very flexible and used) then go straight to C++ without thinking on C; as languages they have similarities, but the object-oriented nature of C++ makes it radically different to C in the way you approach a problem.
