Is there anyone interested in doing a group where we learn to code together? Using mostly free resources? And work on a common project, perhaps? Programming language is open for discussion.

Gibt es Menschen die Interesse hätten an einer Gruppe, in der wir Programmieren lernen? Dabei v.a. freie Ressourcen nutzen? Und vll. an einem gemeinsamen projekt arbeiten? Programmiersprache ist noch offen.

@TQ If you decide to go with Python, I could help out if you have questions. Same goes if you run into trouble using git, this is something I teach people on a regular basis :)

@rixx Gosh, I am alreading running into problems with git! I'll perhaps go watch a tutorial video on youtube, though, my questions are so... newbie! /o\

@TQ Git has a horrible, horrible user interface - everybody runs into lots of problems at first. If you learn well with interactive tools, try try.github.io/levels/1/challen , if you learn well from text, try chapters 1.3 and 2 of git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting … I don't learn well from videos so I have no recommendation there, but visualizing git concepts can be very very very useful!

@rixx @TQ
I don't agree that the user interface is horrible (it was in earlier versions though 😉). I think many commands or options just only make sense after understanding some of the internals of Git. For example that the ID of a commit changes during rebase makes perfect sense, yet it is very confusing in the beginning (or so it was for me).

Also, @TQ, feel free to ask me questions about Git if you have any. I often get the impression that I'm still far from expert but at least I have been using Git for almost 10 years now. 😄

@TQ @winniehell oh no, Git is already 10 years old? we'll have to move to something new soon!
