artski12 Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Is this pretty much every step youve gone through to get to this point? how many hours a day do you spend on this generally?
Zappster Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Is this pretty much every step youve gone through to get to this point? how many hours a day do you spend on this generally? I'm not the OP but I'd like to throw my 2 cents in. Programming has a very high entry barrier. Which means, you need to force your mind into abstract thinking. Quite difficult at first when you don't understand how a program works. Every developer you ever meet will be self taught. They may have learnt the basics from school/college etc but aside from that, everything else needs to be self taught. Luckily enough, programmers are keen to share the information on how to program for free. We are eager for you to join us in the market and we will help you with whatever issues you have, as long as you can provide proof that you atleast tried. Believe it or not, this is the only career that has this option. You can learn for free and go off and make irl bank. Can't really do that if you want to be a doctor! If you are completely new to programming, check out code academy. I recomend it to everyone who shows a slight interest in learning the basics. You need to learn about if statments, loops, operators and variable types. Once you know those you can conquor the world, one line at a time. Video's help, but you'll learn more by actually doing. Get Intellij downloaded and get playing around. It becomes really easy once you get over that wall. If you can do 2 hours a day, you'll grasp it in no time. Edited October 12, 2016 by Zappster

This is pretty much how I learned Java aside from a small crash course back in high school. Completely self taught with lots of help from the communities I've been a part of over the years! If you want to learn how to make things other than scripts then it helps to start with small arcade games like minesweeper and asteroids; those two in particular cover a lot of the basics and really helped me get ahead. I think scripting is just good practice for logic and structure =] 1
boots37 Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Wow thats crazy... I want to learn but I'm to lazy lol
zezy21 Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Just download eclipse and mess around with it for a while, all it takes is a bit of your time!
Sayler Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 thanks for this guide, ill be as good as you one day

Code Academy is very useful to get the basics down. Learning how to write bots is a lot simpler than learning how to write actual java code imo. As you stated, its important to get the basics down. Most scripts just use the basics over and over again. If you can understand if/else logic, you should be good to go. Everything else just comes with practice. Wow thats crazy... I want to learn but I'm to lazy lol You can do it man. I actually really enjoyed it when I was doing it so time flew by. I would start writing a bot and then I would look at the clock and 4 hours had passed by. thanks for this guide, ill be as good as you one day Goodluck 2
boots37 Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 lol seems very interesting! and Id say it would make you quite a bit of money if you got pretty decent at it! Seems like you are doing a wonderful job
Juggles Posted October 16, 2016 Author Posted October 16, 2016 lol seems very interesting! and Id say it would make you quite a bit of money if you got pretty decent at it! Seems like you are doing a wonderful job It's very beneficial if you're trying to gold farm
walterww Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Damn, this is impressive man. I did a java course at university so I know the basics (although forgotten most of them now), I have always been interested in making a runescape script - doing the work the uni asked me to was boring to me. I'll use your diary as a guideline and start today I think! Back to CodeAcademy!

Jab Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Reading your day by day progress inspires me. I think starting tomorrow morning i'm going to try and learn how to script
