If you don't have any industry experience getting some, any, really, is most important, now. I graduated with a CS degree but didn't work my first serious tech job until 8 years after, too. I had already learned programming in school, but mostly Java and SQL, so, over 3 months, I self taught 4-8 hours a day, 7 days a week. Learned HTML, CSS, JS, then some Python and React, and PHP, and brushed up on SQL again.

From this, was able to get an $81k dev job, after about 3 weeks of looking, but it was a shit PHP monolith. While here, I also secretly spent a couple hours each day studying Python more, and learning more patterns and principles (back-end), also. Then, I moved to another, better job, that still has PHP, but also nice Python microservices and functional React. $106.5k here ($123k after benefit matching and semi-annual bonuses). Two and 1/2 years into dev jobs now, and feel experienced enough to easily get decent work, here on out, and feel set for a long time. You'll learn more on a job than self teaching, also, FYI.

If you want a one-size fits all language that's in demand, easy to work with, and can do pretty much anything these days, you can't go wrong with Javascript/Typescript. Although it's a very popular language, which means more competition.

If you want an easy way into the game though, learn some boomer language nobody teaches anymore that tons of enterprise systems still run on, like COBOL or Fortran. Hell, even PHP is getting harder to find devs on US timezones for.

If you're talking about parallelized ones. Not everything in the world is massively parallelizable. Declarative iterative is NEVER faster and it comes up more often than parallelizable tasks, but in that case if you're using something like c# there is a parallel for to handle that.

yes loops are a fundamental core skill. at the assembly level there is a program counter (PC) which points to memory address containing the current instruction. by using a jump instruction to modify the PC you can create an infinite loop over a sequence of instructions.

a branch conditional (an if statement) can be added to test a condition to exit the loop. what the for loop phobia lady doesn't understand is at a lower level there is essentially no difference between for and while loops.

[Anonymous No.50772496]

>>50770324
I'd say in terms of learning difficulty vs availability of jobs C# is the best language to invest your learning in. I tried my best to avoid it but ended up capitulating and it's just Java that runs in VS so it's not that bad, and the entry level positions pay 50%+ more than more Javascript/webdev deals.

for loops are also practically a while-loop hand-holding shortcut. women just have low verbal intelligence and get scared at the strange code with the semicolons inside the parenthesis; they'd rather write it as an ugly while loop just for "le readability" while actually reducing readability.

I wish I were smart enough to learn entry-level programming. I’m not looking to do it professionally—just as a minor hobby that I could maybe use to improve things for work and personally.

It's more complicated than that. Many vectorized operations in pandas and other array programming APIs operate much faster by using the CPU's BLAS to parallelize linear algebra manipulations. These can be much faster than vanilla C loop operations.

Echoing this. I work at medium sized tech company and I've seen nothing like some of the posts here. Even while interviewing candidates, I've noticed that on average, a female will display more technical knowledge than a male. People are forgetting the other side, which is guys that coasted through their degree, struggle with basic technical questions and communicating, and figured that a job was just going to be handed to them. Obviously this can happen with females too, but I've noticed it way more interviewing men.
