12. Different languages Applications of: • C / C++ ◦ https://www.invensis.net/blog/it/applications-of-c-c-plus-plus-in-the-real-world/ • Java ◦ https://www.invensis.net/blog/it/applications-java-programming-language/ • Python ◦ https://www.invensis.net/blog/it/applications-of-python-in-real-world/
13. Functional Programming • Everything is represented in pure functions • It’s hard to learn, but it teaches you how to think! • Functional Programming & Haskell [Video] • An introduction to functional programming [Article] • Functional Programming in JS: What? Why? How? [ Video]
14. Why Python? • It’s easy to learn & powerful to use. • You can do almost anything with it! • You will use it somewhere in future. Learn it now!
15. • Interaction (10 mins) • Stages of learning (5 mins) • Programming Languages (20 mins) • Using Slack (5 mins) • Quick career tips (5 mins) • What’s next? (10 mins)
16. Slack is :lit: 1. Navigating channel 2. Using threads 3. Formatting messages
17. • Interaction (10 mins) • Stages of learning (5 mins) • Programming Languages (20 mins) • Using Slack (5 mins) • Quick career tips (5 mins) • What’s next? (10 mins)
18. No one had it easy If you’re new to the field and struggling with a part (or all) of it, remember no one had it easy. There’s always something you won’t know and that will be a challenge, but you will overcome it if you persevere.
19. Work towards micro-goals
20. Stop procrastinating
