MS Coding Camp(working title)

[chamber]

Some people in site chat expressed an interest in learning how to program. The idea behind this thread is people on MS that know how to code working together to make a program for those who don't to help them learn. An idea for a group project was a mafia app (this would make me lean to teaching Java). If you have interest in either the teacher or student end post here and say which.

[Road Kamelot]

I'm currently a student in java so like
I dont think I know enough to teach but Id love to be a student/not a beginner
I can teach the basics? I tutor business students
(aka i explain what an Object is to the clueless masses)

[chamber]

SO I imagine if we do decide on a mafia app, step one is going to be teachers getting together and designing it, and then figuring out which elements can be broken down to teach which concepts. From there basics will need to be taught, I'm sure you can handle different parts of these things.

[Road Kamelot]

I believe I could do that. I like the mafia app idea and this would also be fantastic practice for me
I can teach basics, yeah

I'd love to participate in this, hopefully as a teacher.

[chamber]

whats your programming experience?

Also, I guess we could use unity(c#) instead of java. Might muddle basic programming concepts, but would potentially take care of a lot of work in terms of making the app side of things.

[Cheetory6]

I would be interested in sitting in on the design discussion at the very least if not participating in helping to make it.

[Davsto]

i can do camp coding if that counts

[Road Kamelot]

Unity was the top-suggested environment for beginners with apps from one of my professors, and they weren't a terrible Prof, so
I know your question was to Errant but I'll just note that I know the basics of Python, C, C++, and java.

[Annadog40]

/in student, I would like to learn how to make a javascript clock that doesn't use my computers time.

/in student

[Sudo_Nym]

I'm /in to learn stuff.

[Equinox]

I'm /in to learn stuff, too.

[Glork]

I know that singersigner is also interested in learning.

[Flubbernugget]

Can I /in if it only sticks to Java? I'm interested in learning the JVM, but not really Unity. I have experience with and can navigate around most imperative/oo languages pretty easily, but have never really gotten deep into any API's to do any useful coding.

[Sotty7]

/in to learn. I have no experience coding but have always wanted to try my hand at it.

[singersigner]

I know that singersigner is also interested in learning.

[kraska77]

When do you plan on starting this? And over what medium?
/in as student
I'm not completely new to this tho. Was taught c++ basics during freshman year but memory needs refreshing and I'm interested in the design part

[gigabyteTroubadour]

i know a thing or two about java and i've used android studio to make an app in my advanced java class (although i basically only worked in XML and front-end stuff :/), so that's nice

i really need a refresher in back-end stuff though

/in as student

[chamber]

Probably start next weekend. We've been discussing medium. Current thoughts are a mix of text and discord voice chat. I also considered youtube videos, but feel like that might require too much production time.

[Papa Zito]

If ya'll go C# I could probably help out.
