I will put polymorphism, recursive types and first order functions are the three most important concepts of functional programming.

CommentThreadFeb 8, 20161What are some must know concepts of functional programming?

TS

To me it was the opposite. I find Python a easy language to learn and write. The first project I had with python was to create a browser turn based game like Ogame and it was so easy to do it on Python thanks to the verbose of the language. When I pick Ruby a bit messy, but that is just my opinion :)

ReplyThreadFeb 5, 20161Out of Python and RoR, which one is easier to get started and why?

TS

Just forked the project to add it. I will try to do it during the weekend :)

Functional prog. deals a lot with abstraction recursion etc... so I guess you don't have to move to functional programming, there are cases that OOP is better there are others that FP is better. The ideal thing would be a languages that is in the middle of OOP and PF until we get there I guess that all depends on the project. Have a look at this video where Simon Peyton talks about functional programming and Haskell on specific. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSmkqocn0oQ

Have you already used Flexbox Grid in any project?

Because believe it or not, this is a valid function in Haskell: Function languages are awesome but the problem is that they are very different from OOP languages, and people have a hard time going from a language like C, Ruby or Python to a functional one.

I like to learn as I go solving problems. Try to solve problems from https://www.hackerrank.com/ using Python. HackerRank follows a step by step hands on approach to teach you programming. There is also a cool GitHub project that proposes to teach you Python in on picture. http://git.io/Py-pic

CommentThreadFeb 3, 20164I want to learn programming and I have no clue where to start. I was suggested to start with Python for it has an easier syntax. Where do I start ?

I think the best way would be to use the HTML5 API and then using the HTMLCanvasElement.toDataURL() function to convert the canvas to a image. http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_canvas.asp https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLCanvasElement/toDataURL In this link you can see how select a font family, size and color and add it to a canvas. - http://www.w3schools.com/canvas/canvas_text.asp Here is a quick example in JsFiddle of what you want https://jsfiddle.net/17ut2kzm/

Check out this link at GitHub (https://github.com/vhf/free-programming-books) where you can find several programming books in different languages.

CommentThreadFeb 2, 20163Hi, I am a QA guy now getting into programming. I am looking for a python training where I could build an app to learn language and other nuances of web development. Can someone guide me for the same? Thanks

@Tayyaba past the code in pastbin and send the link
