[@CinnamonTrees]

Just a heads up, for anyone watching this on a Mac, if you go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Audio (the path may be slightly different on earlier versions; I'm on 10.9), you can make stereo audio play as mono. This should make listening to this video much less painful if you have headphones. I'm sure there's a similar solution for Windows; if anyone knows one, feel free to reply to keep it next to this comment.

Shout Out: I am a baby new at this completely. I have been in the Contemporary Art business for almost ten years now and want to learn programming for the next couple years so you are about the seventh video I have watched and you have been the most understanding of them all. You are excited, vocally well spoken, articulate which definitely make me feel confident that you love what you do and are giving us the basic facts! Especially the fact that you say the same thing twice in two deferent ways just to make sure we understand and are on the same page which keeps us on track. Great job Eli!

I love you! I have been in school for 3 years now and I started as a nursing major that switched to Comp. Science! I have learned more in this video than I have with my professor all of my past semesters! thank you!!!

[@hylabrookbooks]

Hi Eli! I really hope you get this comment because you're introduction to programming course was so helpful. I've always been attracted to computers, and would say things like "i want to get into computers". My dad was a programer and you helped me better understand what his job was. I'll be watching your videos, especially since I can't afford college right now, but this will help me so much figure out what path to take. Thank you so much for taking the time to share what you know (:

[@MagnetManReviews]

I left programming behind for the last year or two using your videos to get back on my feet thank you so much, I'm very thankful for your videos :)

[@liptoncheetos]

If you have an iPhone go to settings (general -accessibility) turn on “mono audio” ... It fixes the audio.

[@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece]

Hard "can't" are a tricky topic. But I guess the phrasing is okay for the introduction level. The PHP driver example just recalled a funny memory. I did that once, it was just horrifically slow that people had to wait in front of the machine. So I guess "can't" is okay if you add the productive environment modifier. Because if you access any sort of hardware via PHP you have to go through some sort of generalized access which is going to be by nature slower because it needs all the additional safety features and guides. And the most basic way to make sure everything runs smoothly is: "When in doubt, wait." And for all the more mature languages: They have dang good reasons to do stuff the way they do it. If you don't understand You don't have enough general knowledge. Because some things are mutually exclusive. Like strong typing and short code. There are good reasons for both but if you have strong typing in theory you will always carry some of the overhead even if you don't use it. Programming languages ned to be seen as tools. A light hammer is a bad hammer. The whole point of the thing is having a heavy head. There is no point in having a heavy screwdriver.

[@Slarti]

As a developer of some 23 years of experience I think you have made some excellent points. Knowing what you want to do and using pseudocode are extremely important. It's what I had to do for around 5 years. I am at the stage now where I tend to think in classes, abstractions and interfaces so I can generally think through what I want to do without needing to use pseudocode. However I still document my ideas so that I have a proof that the ideas all work together. Basically programming comes down to building machines in an abstract space and the more one can train oneself in design by reading other people's code and reading up on different patterns of programming - the less effort it will be and the more joy it will give you. Yes, programming is a joyful experience when you are absorbed in it.

Stick with it! I'm going into my third year of high school and I regret not starting as soon as you are.

[@NickolasLacey]

you're already having a good start by caring early in high school. Get into your school's computer science or web development classes, do fun projects on your own with the languages you are already familiar with, check out codeacademy.com for basic learning. You may not be able to get a degree in high school but you have the time to give yourself experience.

best advice would be to get a degree in CS.. you're putting yourself at a huge disadvantage otherwise (in terms of pay, where you can work, future salary, promotions, job stability, etc)

Thanks for this video! You explained some small but significant functional detail that makes it much easier to grasp what is being done. Seems like 80 percent of people just tell you "type this here, then this, and it makes that happen." Never explaining exactly why its being done and the reasoning behind it. Your explanations make it easier to dive into the more complicated things I try to memorize.

[@gabrielr.7423]

The first class I did on programming was pretty easy, and I'm not being arrogant. It just came easily. But what does frustrates me, its the number of possibilities, and the feelin that once you made a choice you can't change the tracks. Basically, Im 2 years struggling with this shit. Did a little of C/C++, Java, Python, I just couldn settle. I didnt write almost nothing useful, just bullshit( maybe thats the problem). I just know that Web Development seems easier, so my bet is on web dev. I guess my real issue is not caring about money, I just want to choose the more intellectualy challenging stuff, but...because of that everything seems more complicated than it should be.

[@seienchin3299]

***** Webprogramming is not easier by default (Also it is in most cases) but you can get some results pretty fast thanks to HTML which makes an interface really easy. Its a joy to see you site even before the actual coding works.

[@thiery572]

***** Making money has nothing to do with intellectual challenging stuffs. They are 2 different things. Of course ideally you want to make money doing intellectual stuffs. But the world is not ideal, so.... :)
