Was curious. One of the biggest regrets I'm having right now is not learning how to code properly. Wanted to get a sense of what's up with the BBS. I'd give myself a 2.5. Basic HTML/CSS, some Java, able to figure out Visual Basic, and have some semblance of how PHP works---I wish it were a 8. incidentally, for those who want to try----http://cssdesk.com/
The number if languages you know is not really a measure of coding skills. It's like saying a UN translator can write a novel The keys are sustainability, maintainability, speed and ability to work in a group
Right now. 3 out of 10. I know HTML fluently, have a basic grasp of CSS, and know Java decently well. Will be (hopefully) 10 out of 10 in a year or two. Computer Science major.
I'm probably a 1.5. I've done basic html & some Java, but even that has been years. At times I regret not learning more. This is a great place to start for anyone looking to learn more: http://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming
careful -- learning how to code could constrain you to IT for the rest of your career. Better to define yourself another way...
I agree with you if you only learn to code exclusively, but my impression has been shaped by the fact that people who know how to code, and understand the business side of technology, are sought after in basically every field.
Yeah, although eventually some of the IT jobs will be merged with more "traditional" ones (but that could be another 10-15 years before coding fluency as a relative requirement becomes mainstream). I would argue that, right now, graphic design and video editing skills are more important for general work than language fluency (outside of traditional IT jobs).
9 out of 10 Java, Javascript, Perl , Python, Haskell, C, C#, C++, VB, Ruby,HTML, Prolog (/flex), some others to a lesser extent Most of that is pretty useless. You can accomplish pretty much anything with some knowledge in just Java, Javascript, and some SQL.
barely something Took computer science in 10th grade. Out of the whole class I think like 5-8 people knew what they were doing. We were copying each other like on every assignments. Didn't help with the fact that the main teacher was out for like 2-3 months.
If 10/10 means you are employable as a programmer at most companies, I'm probably around 7 or 8 out of 10. Studied it at uni and I code a bit in my spare time nowadays, but have never programmed professionally. I've made a couple of games for fun though which I think proves I can at least write practical and functional code Puzzle platformer coded in C++ (for PC) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9752697/Spectrum_Boy_Release_v_1.0.rar Party based action RPG with lots of loot, coded in Java (for Android) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.badlogic.Arena&hl=en
