on another note, AlphaGo finished the games with Lee Sedol, with an impressive 4-1 score |

| 22:05 |
|
kozukumi |

| 22:06 |
|
kozukumi |
So can I chat about Java here? Or does it have to be Bruce Willis movie related? |
| 22:06 |
|
pdurbin |
we can make an exception |
| 22:06 |
|
kozukumi |
nice |
| 22:06 |
|
pdurbin |
or throw one |
| 22:06 |
|
kozukumi |
So I'm not a programmer but I would like to learn and was thinking of starting with java |
| 22:07 |
|
kozukumi |
Good idea or bad idea? |
| 22:09 |
|
pdurbin |
I'm thinking. |
| 22:09 |
|
pdurbin |
kozukumi: what are you trying to build? |
| 22:10 |
|
kozukumi |
Not sure to be honest lol, looking more at a place to start |
| 22:10 |
|
pulsar |
you can start with any language of your choice, as pdurbin mentions, it boils down to what drives you to do so. just learning a language wont cut it. you have to have an usecase or a problem you want to solve to get into that. |
| 22:11 |
|
kozukumi |
Kinda like learning to paint, i want to learn but not sure what i want to paint just yet |
| 22:11 |
|
pulsar |
how old are you? |
| 22:12 |
|
kozukumi |
i was thinking about a little game that my son can play on my phone |
| 22:12 |
|
kozukumi |
31 |
| 22:12 |
|
pdurbin |
kozukumi: android or iphone? |
| 22:12 |
|
kozukumi |
android |
| 22:12 |
|
kozukumi |
hence java :) |
| 22:12 |
|
pulsar |
so you could use java for that, yes. but the dev enironment is rather harsh to get into |
| 22:13 |
|
pulsar |
for ppl with 0 dev experience that is |
| 22:13 |
|
pulsar |
you might also consider somethign web based |
| 22:13 |
|
kozukumi |
well i did some c# a long time ago so its not totally new to me |
| 22:13 |
|
pulsar |
so bascially webgl + javascript |
| 22:14 |
|
pdurbin |
kozukumi: you should start with http://appinventor.mit.edu ... and have your kid help: https://plus.google.com/+PhilipDurbin/posts/PbtgTWgqQry |
| 22:14 |
|
pulsar |
but sicne you have an idea about what you want to code, java would be a match. yes. |
| 22:14 |
|
kozukumi |
my kids 3 :) |
| 22:15 |
|
pdurbin |
3 year olds can do usability testing :) |
| 22:15 |
|
kozukumi |
good point lol |
| 22:15 |
|
pulsar |
smoke testing too ;) |
| 22:15 |
|
pdurbin |
my 9 year old made a game for her little sister at https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/101511902/ and we are planning on moving it to app inventor so we can play it on android |
| 22:17 |
|
kozukumi |
haha nice |
| 22:21 |
|
pdurbin |
and maybe someday we'll do it "for real" ... in Android Studio and everything |
| 22:23 |
|
pdurbin |
I played around a bit at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-android but it's not a game. |
| 22:23 |
|
kozukumi |
yeah i thin ki would like to at least learn some of the basics |
| 22:26 |
|
pdurbin |
