Right here's an "app" to tell when the temperature is too hot for you

myidealtemp = 21

if(current temp >= myidealtemp)
print("It's too hot")
else:
print("It's too cold")

Where did you learn to do that? What language should I focus on? I've done a bit of c# but that's it. Should I focus on any? Also, that's really cool

Cough. That's probably bad Python code, its just to give him an idea of if else arguments etc.

Python is really easy and fun. Also, it's a tad inefficient, so it's not used everywhere. TBH I don't know yet the difference between C, C++, C# is, but I'd assume they're all of equal benefit to learn. Java I believe is for Android apps, and Objective-C is for iOS (iPhone and iPad).

Well, I think if I decided to do CS, they expect us to know nothing so if we're in 3rd and know this, we'd be fairly decent by college, hopefully. I think I'll try and "master" c# this summer and focus on c++ and java in TY.

We'll be fine! Don't worry. Just have fun making whatever you want.

Anyways, I need my sleep, my beloved Mac has decided to stop a) booting properly b) stop accepting my admin password and c) refuse to copy any files to a backup hard drive.

Deadly stuff.I might actually give it go tbh.
Biggest n00b question evar. - where do you type all that stuff into :cool:

Depends on the language. If you have never done any coding at all you should spend a few days on HTML. Many people would say not to but it's an easier start. After that you should probably pick objective c, c#, c++ and java. I would recommend c#, a guy called " onlivegamer" on YouTube has the best tutorials. He tells you what to download too. I hope this was somewhat helpful

Yous are so lucky you got to learn proper programming languages in school, we did this poxy 'Scratch' programming that's designed for kids :L It's so easy, even I, who I would consider a total noob, was able to make a fairly decent/complex pacman type game

We only did HTML for the last 3 classes. We did scratch too. I thought it was the best thing when I was in first year.

We never ever did any programming in school.. Would have loved to though.

Irish schools are way behind Europe in terms of computing in secondary school. My friend says that his cousins in Eastern Europe learn proper programming and app developing in their 2nd year equivalent.

We have a computer class once a week. All we do is go on the internet. Facebook only recently got blocked in school Next year is going to be such a burden.

You do know you can get past blocked sites? It's not hard, I watched Youtube for a lot of 3rd year. For example, if it says http://, just put https://
Sometimes this doesn't work, just look up proxies or proxy sites, you'll be grand.

Youtube's not blocked in school neither is Twitter.. Just Facebook </3

I'll try that Thanks!

Out of curiosity, how/where would you start with programming. Tbh, I've always loved computers and would love to learn more about them, but I don't think it'd be something I'd do career wise.

Well, it depends really. If you want to do web design, then HTML and CSS is where you should start, then improve it with javascript. http://www.w3schools.com/ is your resource for that.

Proper programming like c#, c++, python and java have an abundance of tutorials on the web but my favourite would be from onlivegamer. http://www.youtube.com/user/onlivegamer/videos?view=1 Here's his channel! Look through some of his tutorials and see what you like, he only shows the basics. If you search the web you'll find more. Hope this was helpful

You can still access command prompt on school computers. Just use that to access websites. I guess it helps of you can write script. Another trick is to go to yahoo translator (babel fish) and translate the URL. Some blocking

EoghanIRL

Some blocking program's are very basic in schools.

I'd love one, but it's doubtful tbh. You really need to be 16 to be even considered.

Saw no point trying to get a job before I turn 16, so waiting till after my birthday to start applying, hopefully it will slightly increase my chances beyond non-existant.. :L
