What I Wish I Knew Before I Started Coding
- 1. WHAT I WISH I KNEW BEFORE I STARTED CODING with Mattan Griffel, CEO of One Month
- 3. Coding Languages are HUGE Ruby And you only need to know a tiny bit of them
- 4. Many experienced developers only barely scratch the surface
- 5. Many experienced developers only barely scratch the surface (AtypicaldevelopersearchesGoogle onceforevery10linesofcodetheywrite)
- 6. 50% of developers are self-taught
- 7. Did you know there are 1,025,109.8 words in the English language?
- 8. …yet the average adult knows only 20,000-35,000?
- 9. C, Java, C++, PHP, JavaScript, Python, C#, Perl, SQL, Ruby, Shell, Visual Basic, Assembly, Actionscript, Where do you start? Delphi, Pascal, Scheme, Haskell, Tcl, Backbone, Fortran, Ada, Lua, ColdFusion, Cobol, Erlang, D, Scala, Smalltalk, Ocaml, Forth, Rexx, Hadoop, Node.js, Lisp, Objective C, Swift
- 10. Web applications are applications that you access over the internet
- 11. Every application has a front-end and a back-end
- 12. The front-end is what you see Front-end languages: • HTML • CSS • JavaScript
- 13. The back-end is what you don’t see Database Rules Web Pages
- 14. The back-end is what you don’t see Programming languages: PHP, Ruby, Python, Java Database languages: SQL Database Rules Web Pages
- 15. They’re all the same, just different PHP Python Ruby
- 16. echo “Hello World”; print(‘Hello World’) puts “Hello World” PHP Python Ruby
- 17. PHP Python Ruby Hello World Hello World Hello World echo “Hello World”; print(‘Hello World’) puts “Hello World”
