Programming Throwdown, Episode 50.

Congratulations!

Take it away, Jason. Hey Jason hey everybody this is a special

episode of programming throwdown and you know just a if this is your first time

you know listening to a programming throw down episode we typically talk about a

different language or you you know, computational concept

every show. We started off with some news, tell some jokes, things like that. We're not doing

any of that this show. So this is your first show that you've listened to. If you're brand

new to programming throwdown, hit pause, go back a few episodes, check out one of our other ones.

This is really just a special episode that we want to do for our fans, give the opportunity

to ask questions, make comments, and we'll read them on the air. And so we're also

broadcasting this particular episode

live on livecoding.tv slash neural nets for life,

the number four.

And we'll give a link to it in the show notes and all of that.

But that means that we're going to be fielding some questions

from the live audience.

And so that might cause us to, for one, it's definitely all one take. It usually is anyways. We always record this. People don't know that maybe, actually. Yeah, good one. We always record in one take unless something really, really bad happens, which has only happened like once or twice where we've had problems. But otherwise, it's one take all the way straight through, almost no editing, slap on the beginning and the end, which hopefully the beginning part has gotten a little better. I think people used to not like it. Yeah, yeah, definitely have tightened that up. Early, yeah, totally. So we're going to, in this episode, we're going to kind of, you know, talk about the history of the show and everything, give you guys an insight. I've heard to say folks instead of guys. Folks. Someone said, don't say guys, say folks or use, which I just can't do use. Y'all? They also said, y'all, I don't think I can do y'all either. So I think I'm... All right, y'all. Let's get this started. I'm relegated myself to folks. but give you folks an opportunity to ask us anything you want to ask us. And we've gotten a ton of questions and comments. And we're just going to kind of go through it and also field some from the chat as we go. All right. The first one is one we've gotten several times. And we're going to only give the partial answer to. So apologies. And sometimes there's been multiple questions and I sort of randomly picked a person to represent that question. And we didn't cover all questions. There are many, many questions about, will you cover topic X or Y? So those are left out. Don't feel bad if you email this with those. Hopefully we are going to do that. like, we've gotten so many people saying, will you cover Ruby?

We will cover Ruby, but not today.

All right, so our first question is from Mariano, and they say, I have a question.

I have friends that are taking courses in edX.org, codeacademy.com, linda.com,

which are a very useful websites to learn as a beginner going towards advance,
