Getting Started with Programming and TIPS! - iOS Development on Windows without Xcode!

As many of you might have already noticed that I have not written about any updates (although I am keeping up with them and so far everything, as far as the script is concerned, is being developed). I wanted to tell you all that in the mean time we can take advantage of the window we have open to learn coding. I have found the single most easiest way to do so. If you are keeping up with my blog posts, you will realize that I have mentioned code.org in my last post. Let me get in depth with it today.

http://www.code.org/ is a portal which allows you to go to other websites who have interactive tutorials on how to code. Now these are not just any tutorials, they actually have a lesson on the left and a 'assignment' area on the right (At least the one I use the most, which is the codeacademy link). Regardless of how poor you are at programming, you can still learn a lot of the site. For example, if you have never ever even thought about coding before, I would actually start visiting youtube links. I remember when I wanted to learn how to make websites, I was absolutely stunned to find out how easy it was to get started and I am going to link you to those videos...

HTML Tutorial 1 - Designing A Website In Notepad - Basics and Beginnings 


That YouTube link is basically for those who are absolutely new to programming. What this will do for you is get your brain to start thinking of how exactly programming languages work. Now, keep in mind that every programming language is different. After you have learned the basics, I would suggest you visit code.org and visit codeacademy afterwards to start learning JavaScript because this will help you out big time in achieving your goals.

Now lets talk about goals... The main purpose behind SRH Script is to allow developers to use their existing knowledge and or talent of programming to develop for iOS. It is clear that iOS is the fastest growing platform with every kind of app possible. But along that awesomeness there are limits that Apple has as far as development is concerned. This method of developing does not hurt the terms of Apple and if you don't know what I mean, then let me speak clear English to ya. If you develop an awesome app using SRH Script, you can actually launch it in the AppStore!

Now the script has few extra enhanced features that Apple does not really like, but it will definitely be possible in the near future (fingers crossed for that) and I know that because I ask Mr. Slug ;)

Keep up with my blogs to find out what more you can do besides use jQuery to create website based app. ;)

As slug stated on the script page, I am a beginner myself and I am learning. This is the reason I have not been writing lately because I am either at school, work or learning at codeacademy... Also, past week was very tragic for me. My laptop broke. :( Without a computer I feel incomplete because it stops me from reaching all of you and especially FACEBOOK!!! Just kidding, its annoying. I do love to inform you guys of everything and laptop or not, I still got school computers to reach you all or I shall hijack my Moms computer (aka my old computer) to reach you all..

Be safe, learn and innovate! And remember this... If you are not determined, you will never be able to learn!
If you are distracted then stop learning because you will read and do what the exercises ask you to, but you will not remember them because your brain isn't focusing on 'learning'.

See ya in the next blog post! Comment your questions and I shall answer to the best of my knowledge and I am gonna try to get slug to answer your questions as well.

The not-so-serious FAQ:

1. I have questions about the script how do I contact slug?!

I must say, I have a lot more to say at this point (3/13/13) but when the time is right, the power of the script will be explained! And slug is wayy to busy to answer any questions on this stage of the script but ask me, I am not a complete newb, he gave me a brief description of the script which I can explain to you. :)

2. What do you mean by determined?

When you are learning something new, the window of your brain to let all the knowledge data in is closed. It is all up to you to open it up and let all the data in so that you can use it when he window closes. Nothing is impossible, you can even put toothpaste back into the tube if you tried! Think positive! Remember, an Apple a day makes you healthy, or something like that. ;)
