Programming tutorial

Postby Sam » 01 Apr 2017, 08:33

If you were to run through a programming tutorial to learn the basics of a higher-level language (anything from C to Java to Python) what "project" would you want the tutorial to create. What would really interest you? I suspect a lot of people will say: build a website. Sadly, that wouldn't showcase enough of the language you are trying to learn. :(

I guess I would like to first learn the basics of the language one by one, then create something that language is capable of doing best using the things I've learned.

hmm. I was thinking each "module" of learning comes together in a piece of software that actually does something kind of cool. :)

I've never learned any programing and so my interest would be to first of all learn the basics. Then projects would follow from the knowledge gained.I've interest in learning programming some time in future.

Yeah, I think anything would be cool as long as you apply the information learned and at the same time you keep the person learning interested.

I'd love a tutorial that created some type of very basic chatbot. If that was too complicated, as I suspect it probably would be, a simple calculator app would be an interesting project.

Really good idea! It all depends on the scope of the project. :)

- Does the chatbot answer common FAQs for X e.g. you might ask it: "What sizes are available for the Green TeaShirt?" Or does it just "talk-back" like cleverbot?
- Does the chatbot learn? If so how (via a neural network or input from an administrator)?
- What "form" does the chatbot use to accept input? (Skype or a Web form etc.)

That's a good idea and a way to keep down the scope of the project and make it more achievable. That way the chatbot would not need to learn or use any form of AI.

Accepting text input would probably be the easiest way to start, certainly much easier than creating any kind of program to interpret voice data.

Thanks for the feedback Sam.
