Not actually that number but anyway, NCSSC Learning journal backdating because I'm really bad at doing it at the right time. Also because hindsight is fun to use.
So, the Challenge had five weeks for all three levels. I had chosen to do the beginner level despite having probably more coding experience than a few people there. Why would I do that? The answer is because of the way I taught myself to code; by diving head-first into Valve's Source Engine with no prior knowledge. GENIUS.
So invariably I missed a lot of fundamentals, which is why I did the beginner level - to make up for my own hastiness.
Of course there are some things I can do easily enough with out help;
This being the most prominent example.
For the uninformed, this is a bit of a programming history joke. Because it was the first program ever created, people quite make it the first thing taught in programming courses.
Next up we have input commands. Allowing us to print text based upon what the user types, ranging from easy versions of the program to slightly more difficult ones.
It's all quite straightforward, really.
Anyway, more Grok/NCSSC next time.
