What programming languages/frameworks do you want to learn?

I can't find the resources online for learning. For someone like me who has NO coding knowledge at all. That's really unfair to say to be honest. I was hoping the idea was to be nice and help each otherout here. But whatever...

I know I will learn eventually. Hopefully, there aren't any more assholes who will try and tell me otherwise.

Because you didn't google literally ANYTHING. You aren't trying to find anything, so you aren't. Let's see what happens when I google "learn python":

Look, first three results are places to learn. Then there is the exact question asked under it, that you can see the answer for. Then to the side there are books on learning the language.

Let's see what happens when you google "python tutorial":

Look, all the results are python tutorials. Even a video, so don't use "i need youtube tutorial!" because there's one right there.

And you know what? Programmers aren't walking dictionaries of functions and algorithms. Whoever thinks that isn't a programmer themselves. We google questions all the time too. "css flexbox," "how to find kernel32.dll with peb," manhattan distance" etc. the list goes on. If you aren't capable of googling something, then you're not gonna get half decent at programming. Or maybe you will, but it'll take you three hours to solve a problem you could have googled. Which means that if you're at a coding challenge or hackathon or whatever, you might finish with the solution to your problem a day after everyone's already built their hacks.

As for actually learning to code, that's pretty stupid. Assuming someone's going to teach you, you're not going to learn at your pace. You're going to go at your teacher's pace and if you can't keep up, tough luck. People that do development have better stuff to do like work on their own projects instead of teaching someone who doesn't actually show any promise as it stands. Learning programming is difficult if you don't have two things already: problem solving skills and an understanding of logical flow. You can learn about all kinds of logic, and/or/if/else/not/etc. and how it all flows. You can learn the structure and interpretation of computer programs (call stack, anything to do with memory) but at the end of the day, problem solving isn't something you can just "learn" if you want to. You need creativity and, again, your logical thinking as well as persistence to fix your bugs and optimize your code.

Again, if you think this is a friendly place for people to help each other, you're right. But you're asking for FREE MENTORING on YOUR TERMS and whenever YOU'RE AVALABLEabout exactly what YOU WANT TO LEARN. You see the problem here? The party teaching you doesn't get anything out of it except wasted time.

Quit trying to blame it on whatever, you're the only person holding you back from learning, and you know that.

I've looking into doing this as well, but still just don't have enough foundational knowledge on the blockchain. Every source I find is incredibly vague, may just go out and buy a book on actually building a blockchain itself before looking at what I can do with ETH smart contracts.
