if you know java you can pretty much just start using c# and you'll pick things up as you go along. c# in depth is the commonly recommended book since skeet knows his poo poo

asp.net has a bunch of docs and tutorials if you want to do that, otherwise it depends on what you want to do

no, I get it, every line of code in C++ is, basically, a monad. it takes all variables, functions, etc. visible in the scope as inputs, and copies them to outputs, possibly modifying them, sometimes introducing new variables, sometimes erasing them if it's the end of a scope. I remember this from my computer science fundamentals course, every line of code being a function over all the variables that returns all the variables, with modifications, was one of the things I remember the best, but could never find a practical use for

oh yeah so my dad's a high school teacher and he's running a javascript class. i've come in to talk to kids about Computers before so i agreed to come in and do a cool fun thing. was thinking about doing a little crash course on recursion to try and blow their stupid little minds, or if that's too dry maybe show them how to make some cool poo poo with three.js or codef or something

first i need to learn javascript tho

i only spent a few weeks playing with erlang, but i learned more about programming in those two weeks than i've learned from years of casually playing with haskell. i love haskell too, but erlang is really great and everyone should spend some time with it.

hackbunny posted:

bloody no offense but you have no business doing the things you describe. your mental model of c++ is dangerously wrong, a c++ programmer would never ask a question like "if I return a unique_ptr from a function what will happen to c++03 code that calls it" because it's obvious that it won't even compile in c++03

apparently I volunteered to talk to middle schoolers about programming

what should I talk about? other than how programming is a cool and good way to get rich and siphon money out of SV
