[COLOR=#red]I personally don't think that charging $20 per month is too much to ask for. That's how much CodeAcademy Pro is. From my experience CodeAcademy is one of the best resources to start off with for learning the basics of Java, JS, HTML/CSS. It's self-paced and the built in code editor makes for a nice clean interface. I took Java first which set me up beautifully for most of the other object based programming languages. To be honest learning the concepts and how to think in a logical progression is the main part of coding...syntax is the easy part. You'll be able to identify the differences between the various languages for the same function once you learn the concept. But CodeAcademy is only good up to a point, I moved on to the full courses on Udemy which are amazing, but they would be so much harder had I not developed the basics.
Yo we need to start a programming/coding/dev thread. Anybody down for that? I'm currently doing Swift 2 inside of Xcode 7 to build iOS apps and it's awesome. [/COLOR]

My screen on my Note 2 finally went to hell this past week. Still had some pics and vids of my 1 year old son that i hadn't backe dup yet, any ideas on how I can still retrieve those pics? The phone turns on, but the screen is all black and I don't think the touch screen works...And yes, I do have a number lock on it

Let's do it. There's an IT Thread but that covers everything from CISCO, Networking, Server Admin, etc.
I even played around w/ a group of us collabing on a project to help those like myself w/o much exp gain it in a real world environment.
But in regards to CA, it's not bad but when you consider FCC is free and it's a little more respected and is building a community on top of the free foundation and what not. They have regional groups on Reddit, FB, etc. I guess I'm bias because I've learned a little more on their than CA but they're both great for the price. I've been considering Udacity's nanodegree programs or even Coursera's capstones but don't think the money is worth it in regards to how employers would respect them.
None the less, you can't go wrong w/ CA or FCC when you consider the cost of some of these bootcamps out there.

[COLOR=#red]Awesome! Dath, could either yourself or one of the other guys in here that code start it? To be honest my screenname is kinda shot in General, but I'd love to be part of the thread nontheless. We could be more focused on coding/dev than hardware and networking and encourage more NTers to be about that code life. We'd have a good mixture of dedicated school trained guys and people who decided to just start doing it. Both perspectives are needed to be honest.[/COLOR]

No doubt, hit my PM when you can and we can discuss semantics for the thread and what not and I'll start it. I'm not NT Popular so we'll see how it goes

This x100000
I have taken coding classes and I passed them with at least a B at the lowest, and I can read what is going on in them, but that is the main part that gets me.
When I sit in meeting with a true "dev/engineer" and a customer just starts talking about requirements and things that they want a program to do and they are writing stuff down. The process of taking that and build something from scratch and it is legit is the what will set you apart in the end, I feel.
I was the systems guy on a small R&D team a few years ago, and the owner of our company actually took the devs on my team and made a separate company solely dedicated to selling that product. It literally started as something we thought would be cool to try and make something from and it just took off from there.
Welcome back EWD too. Definitely miss your threads and comments on NT

A true dev/engineer is rarely, if ever, going to be sitting in a meeting across from the customer to go over specs. Those are usually analysts, who will take the big grandoise ideas of the customer and translate them into something workable for their developers.
Do not want a coding thread. It will become a Homework Help thread. No thanks.
For everyone looking to get into coding/programming, I highly recommend getting a windows machine or at least setting up a Windows partition on your macbook using bootcamp. For hobby coding, a macbook is more than enough. But if you start taking it seriously, you do not want to be at the mercy of Wine. Trussss me, daddy

U might be right about the homework help but we could make that a rule to ignore the people who constantly come in trying to get help like that
Think it would be decent for dudes who want to discuss it.But as far as the computer OSes go, that's one of the reasons I'm so hesitant about trying a Mac. Windows is the dominant OS and will be for the foreseeable future. Even w/ Project Management, MS Project is still a standard in some companies and there isn't a Mac version of that.

[COLOR=#red]In my case my personal mini lab has both Mac (Macbook Pro) and PC (Surface Pro 3) with an iPad Air 2 and my Note 4. If a person is SERIOUSLY thinking about getting into app development they'd have both a Mac and PC instead of dealing with partitions, or VirtualMachines. For one Xcode the IDE for iOS app development is only on OS X, and it's nuts to build a Hackintosh when you can at the least by a refurbished Mac Mini and use a monitor.
These days it pays to be versed in multiple platforms, and knowing multiple languages.
And we'll go forward with a coding thread, I myself do not mind helping in any way I can. Coding has many benefits outside of the actual computer aspect of it. It helps you to learn to think in logical steps and to solve problems which can be a benefit to other things you do. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#red]I say we help initially but mostly direct them to the proper resources. Even the most seasoned programmers still go back to their reference material from time to time. Einstein was once quoted as saying something to the effect of "I never commit to memory anything that can easily be looked up in a book".
My mentor is a computer science engineer who helped write the code for the avionics system for the F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet. He's very un-pretentious and helpful, which is actually a rare trait in the programming world

I've actually noticed that the programming world today is a little more encouraging and will help but won't give you the answer; I mean, look a Github.
I don't mind helping initially but after that, that's it, just like I don't expect people to hold my hand with something; but asking for help is usually my last resort.

Upgrading from an iphone 5
. Copped a new att unlocked note 4 from ebay for $370 yesterday. I thought I did enough research. Did a little more. I saw that the note 4 n910t model has carrier specific features, which the n910a version that I copped lacks, such as wifi calling.
I just called tmo for more info. They stated if something carrier related doesn't work, tmo will direct me to att(non-tmo device), but att will direct me to tmo(non-att customer). But I never call tmobile for technical support.
Does it really matter or did I goof?
That note 5 swayed me to android, but the note 4 has the micro sd and removable battery. I didn't even know you could install bigger batteries into phones.
I've been using battery cases for years.

Anybody interested in a slightly used Gear S2 with a extra black rubber band? Just switched to an iPhone and I can't do much with it at the moment.
