Any interest in a programming class that teaches the basic logic on thinking like a programmer? Or a specific programming language? Trying to bring more coding classes to the space

We badly need classes in photoshop and inkscape and such.
If I ever had time coding would be interesting to learn
I’ll admit that I’m not too familiar with those tools. I’m trying to teach some coding classes, but will dive into those as soon as I have access to them.

Our members have a voracious appetite for learning. I haven’t seen too many classes that didn’t get 3+ people.
Good luck with the class.
Awesome thanks that’s good to hear
Wes is so right, even classes that don’t fill up officially, people will
often wander in and ask if there is room. I’ve done that many times.

I’d be interested in some more advanced classes. Really any common language, especially SQL.
I’m on the opposite end where I know the logic basics but want to learn other languages.
cool! like a series a month of a new language?
That would be very cool!
I’ve always learned best by having someone present the material as, “here are the basics and some tricks, now go teach yourself.”
So a new language a month would be perfect for me, but I can’t speak for everyone.
no yea for sure! I’ll start a class next month on a language and then I’ll have a beginner’s course on programming twice that month. Any suggestions on what to start on?

I would come at it either from the Arduino+C angle or the Python angle.
Arduino actually gives you something to do in C (more than just console programs) even though you won’t get far quickly, while Python lets you do real tasks quickly at the risk of developing bad/lazy habits.
hmmmm… well I think i’ll start with c then to avoid developing bad habits in python.
C is pretty easy to develop bad habits in as well.
If the idea is to teach proper concepts, then I would suggest one of the languages designed for that purpose.
Not to get too pedantic, but FWIW, Arduino IDE is C++. It’s literally just C++ with a hidden include file before your code and some special syntax highlighting.

the more info the better
True, which brings up another advantage: Highly uniform and easy to install IDE and compiler.
(Although not a particularly good one, but better than Notepad)
I would be interested in programming classes. Don’t really care which language.
Thank you.
Ok lookout for the second week in march for the first language series: C programming
Awesome, I need a C refresher (I had C++ in college).
Awesome, I been looking forward to learn some coding, What is the start date of the classes in March?
