Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? @28 your gripes with node.js seem to be entirely with using it as a web service backend. I've never used it for that and all the points you made are probably right. if I needed reliable concurrency, I wouldn't reach for node either.however

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? @25When someone can coherently defend the fact that old Node libraries can't give meaningful tracebacks because they used callbacks I may change my mind.  But you also have to defend things like the fact that an Express endpoint

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? We already had the discussion about lambdas in a different thread i'm afraid, and it'd be better for Python to remove them entirely IMHO, especially since Python already knows local functions, so there is no real need for lambdas at all.I

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? @Ethin I like node.js quite a bit. any project where I need to develop any serious amount of js, like a website, I do it in a node project. that way I can use typescript and webpack to write nice strongly typed code using latest js

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? Electron is a browser with Node hacked into it so that you can call node APIs.  You don't have to call Node APIs, but you can if you so choose, which gives you nice things like raw TCP sockets.  But the only node you have to deal

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? @19, yeah, agree about node. Its one reason I haven't really gotten into it -- Its not just JS but just how weird it seems to me. Do you use Node to write your electron apps or something else? URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/613852

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? My starting point for the web dev stuff was Flask. I actually did a semester-long group project where none of us had any web dev experience. We did our entire project, and I'm not joking, in Java Servlet with Tomcat. Like, no JSP

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? JS is fine.  Most web tech is actually pretty not sucky these days.  React is cool.  I'd use electron for things.But Node is actually bad enough that if I ever pick up blogging again I'm going to be doing an equivalent of PHP a fractal

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? I've looked at various areas in computer programming - mobile development, backend development and all that, so I'd say I'm not really a one-domain kind of person either. I've thought about trying to get into node.js again

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? noted 16. I am a more than one domain kind of person. I have looked at mobile app development, backend and more. I’m not looking for a job in frontend development because I know how tricky that is. I’m doing that as a hobby

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? I'd say that your best bet is to go into backend.  Mobile app dev is good as a hobby, but avoiding frontend as a job is generally best.  It's not that you can't, it's that you'd have to find somewhere that's got a complicated enough app

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? so your not a one domain kind of person? good to know. I do one day want to get into OS dev but i don't know enough for that. I'm going into mobile app dev because I like it and B it gets me one step closer. That is actually why i made

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? I'd even go as far as to say that thats the programming that happens most of the time nowadays. You don't program everything from scratch anymore. Languages like Ruby, Python, Java, _javascript_ etc are popular for their vast amount of 3rd

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? You kid, but that can be done.  Not by a blind person I don't think, but the earliest computers from the 80s were designed by one or two people and built by hand.  There are open source processor schematics, and FPGAs allow for designing

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? @9 no, its lower level then that. You have to build your computer's components from scratch without any instruction manuals. You also have to program the operating system you use, that's the only way of becoming a true programmer URL

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? You don't need to reinvent the wheel to drive. You don't need to reinvent sliced bread to make a sandwich. These are probably ridiculous comparisons, but coding is very much of the same category. As @7 pointed out, printing to the console

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? @5Let me put it this way.  Calling print in Python goes through something like a million lines of code written by someone else.  This isn't an exaggeration.  Before you even so much as use a library, just writing to the console

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming?

Re: is what I’m doing even considered programming? @5 no, by that logic then anyone who writes as much asimport sysor#include Isn't programming. Even copying from stackoverflow is *technically* programming, even though it isn't you coding the part you coppied, and in all honesty you

is what I’m doing even considered programming? so I didn’t really get into programming as a bigger interest until last year. I made a couple projects which I haven’t released (games aren’t my thing) but I don’t even know if what I’m doing is considered programming. some of them include
