Hey gang. I’ve been playing around here and there with things like HTML, CSS, Java, MySQL for years but have trouble getting past more basic implementations of Java and the C languages. Mostly because there has been no pathway set in front of me to help develop my skillset further. I was wondering …

For Lua try “Programming in Lua” by Roberto Ierusalimschy.

For general programming methodology: http://see.stanford.edu/see/courses.aspx Start with CS106a and knock yourself out–lectures, materials, everything is now online. The language (java) is not immediately relevant to Stonehearth, but a good grounding in fundamentals is always useful.

Thenewboston is a great teacher but not the best at coding and making his programs efficiently and to…

This guy makes probably the best programming tutorials i have ever come across. I’ve only bothered to watch his Java tutorial series. It starts of extremely simple, but gets very in depth eventually.

I take it that you and Karel are quite familiar then…? :wink:
