Pratice ?
Demos ?
Libs ?
or what else ?

Practice, and rarely demos/tutorials (A lot of them were too confusing for newbies when I was a newbie.).

Icons: http://pixeltutorial.cjb.net/
Code: Downloading a demo and looking through it, whenever I found something that I didn't know what it meant F1. Lather, rinse, repeat. Then the blue book, I still has a long way to go though. :P | |
Osmosis is a spectial type of diffusion that occures when water moves from a high concentration to a low concentration.
Osmosis can ONLY happen with water. So I'll assume you ment you learned how to code from diffusion. Which brings up the point, whom did you leech the knowledge from? Since diffusion is only a transfer not a creation of new instances of the diffusing object. -Salarn | |
I see you have a penchant for ignoring secondary definitions of words.

I started with coding in more or less this order:
Logo -> basic -> C -> C++ -> HTML (although its technically a markup language) -> java -> OpenGL (in C) -> BYOND -> Visual Basic -> CGI / Perl / Javascript -> Flash Action Script -> Scheme -> XML currently I'm working on UML and lua -Salarn | |
Oh the bastardizations of science!
A dark tide has wash me away, and I tred periously in the waters of defeat. You have one this round Tenkuu, next time not even Webster (the dictionary, not the TV child) will be able to save you. | |
Tutorials (ZBT1, and the rest there were at the time. There are more now), the Guide (old one, not Blue Book), Reference, later the Blue Book, Community help, looking at libraries / demoes, and just trying out various things.
Theres a lot more info than when I started, though. What helped me most of all, though, is the Community. Starting out here, I didnt have the best of manners. Even so, I got a lot of help with my code problems, and I got detailed explanations to problems. So in summary: Tutorials, Demoes, Reference, Guide, Blue Book, and the wonderful Community. | |
Salarn babbled:
Osmosis can ONLY happen with water. <NEGATIVE BUZZER SOUND> Wrong answer! But thanks for playing! - go re-take your chemistry class again... A better definition in your context is: Diffusion of fluid through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a higher solute concentration until there is an equal concentration of fluid on both sides of the membrane. It can also be the tendency of fluids to diffuse in such a manner. Water is not the only liquid that has this property. You also forgot the other meaning of osmosis, which is how I meant it: A gradual, often unconscious process of assimilation or absorption. For example: "He learned French by osmosis while residing in Paris for 15 years." Or in my case: I learned programming by osmosis over the last 26 years. I started tinkering with Pascal when I was 10... No formal training, lots of trial and error, and lots of tinkering. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Osmosis | |
I've only been coding for a month and a half, my brother downloaded Dream Maker some time last year. I just found out what byond was about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I had no clue where he got it from, but I was learning the language all by myself, with a lot of help from him. F1 is the best resource I've ever had though =).

A dark tide has wash me away, and I tred periously in the waters of defeat. You have one this round Tenkuu, next time not even Webster (the dictionary, not the TV child) will be able to save you. But the TV child Webster, on the other hand, just may be able to save him! | |
That's what teachers are teaching these days...It's so sad!
My teacher (7th grade, he also claims he is a "scientist" and a "biologist" (yea right)) also says that water is the only liquid with the property of osmosis. We learned about semipermiable and impermiable and all that stuff. I ended up proving him wrong (though I can't remember how...). I do that all the time with my teachers. Well, that's a different story. Anyway, teachers should get their facts straight. I once say a TV show about how many errors there are in school text books. One science book said the moon was only __,___ feet from the earth. It was something like 80,000 or 90,000. Can you believe that? Airjoe | |
