A couple of days ago, I made a post on /c/technology, asking if you guys would be down to help build a "Chapo Learn2Code project". The response to this post was huge, and we quickly managed to put together a small team to start building this project. We're now back for some more formal recruitment!
First off: please let us know in the comment section if you would potentially be interested in attending a CS/opsec/tech class taught by a fellow chapo. We would also like to know what kind stuff you're interested in and would like to be learning with this project. The original post had some great ideas, but there's definitely room for more!
If you would like to help building this project, as a teacher, a helper, organizer, or resource gatherer, please DM me, you're more than welcome aboard.
Someone (Im sorry i forgot your name, please manifest yourself so I can congratulate you for having a cool idea) also mentioned a potential megathread on /c/technology where folks would post tech related questions, and other chapos would help them. This also sounds like a very good idea, so let us know what you think of that as well.
Finally, if you got any other input of any kind, we would also be more than glad to hear them!
Edit: Holy shit twenty three notifications lol. I'll come back to you after I get through my day, which should be not too late through your day you bunch of yankees.
I would love to learn anything that would make me more useful to leftist causes
I'm a filthy STEMlord with a CS degree. I could probably put together an introductory programming course.
I tried to read C programming book on my own and gave up because of the asshole on Slack told me that if i can't figure it out than i should quit. A teacher would be a boon. Please let me know what or who do I have to contact to join as I want to learn and help anyway I can.
Sorry that happened to you, they sound like a real asshole.
That's a rough welcome. Please understand that not everyone in the field is an awful misanthrope and if you need help you're not a programming "lost cause."
Thank you for your kindness. It was awhile ago as I was using this book: https://www.amazon.com/Effective-Introduction-Professional-Robert-Seacord/dp/1718501048/ref=sr_1_3?crid=DVPZH6G6BCTZ&dchild=1&keywords=c+programming&qid=1599021975&sprefix=c+prog%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-3
I never had any programming experience and I got pretty far in it. I was stuck on a problem that required me to use division but I didn't know I could that in C due to lack of my experience.
Fuck that Slack dickhead, pure neoliberal. What were you stuck on? Maybe someone in the comments can help you out.
Thank you so much for even offering me your time and help. It was a while ago and from this book: https://www.amazon.com/Effective-Introduction-Professional-Robert-Seacord/dp/1718501048/ref=sr_1_3?crid=DVPZH6G6BCTZ&dchild=1&keywords=c+programming&qid=1599021975&sprefix=c+prog%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-3
This was years ago but now i want to learn and give it another shot since this community is willing to help. Again, thank you so much, coom.

it says the book came out in August?
Ah, you mislinked. You are talking about K&R, the C bible. It's a very fun book but maybe not the best introduction to programming as a whole.
Yeah good on pointing that out, I smell a troll.
Thank you so much for even offering me your time and help.
Notice how I didnt even offer to help them personally.
Chapo.chat is quite new and thus open to bullshit.
I was learning from this book: https://www.amazon.com/Effective-Introduction-Professional-Robert-Seacord/dp/1718501048/ref=sr_1_3?crid=DVPZH6G6BCTZ&dchild=1&keywords=c+programming&qid=1599021975&sprefix=c+prog%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-3
I now want to learn about blockchain and developing on it. But im willing to learn anything in programming with some guidance. Thank you again for willing to help me.
Shit I'm a programmer so I guess I should help out somehow
No formal degrees here, but I've done plenty of work in JS, C#, HTML, CSS, Vue and AWS. Happy to help and learn where possible!
STEMlord cunt here, and hell yes I have been waiting too long for this shit. I have a massive interest in Opsec/CS for totally legal purposes and would love to learn anything tech-related from a chapo really. Big thanks for suggesting this based fucking praxis.
I knoooooooooooow!! I'm not in an US timezone and I had to go to bed early yesterday. I will get back to you when I finish my day, promised!
Commenting for Python and ML. My opinion on it: It's terrible. You need gigs of data. You need a powerful PC for image recognition. Chatbots are still terrible. It's the security state's dream, yet it needs to be constantly updated. It will fall apart due to the ineptitude of governments. Most of the time a regression is enough, but why would you put people in Coding Camps then?
Hi, I'm a little unclear, did you want to learn or teach python and/or ML?
I mean, it depends on what you want to do. What do you want to do? Program? Server/Systems Admin? Help-Desk (help people/reset passwords?)
The adage "nothing new under the sun," applies even in tech. But startups are the worst. Not because of the adage, but because there is no "job security" there.
A fulfilling life? That's quite a question. I'm currently writing code for what is essentially an e-commerce/marketing company. The company mission means nothing to me at all, but designing and writing good software does. I get satisfaction from doing my job well like most other people do, even though I have no real interest in the final product. I ultimately would prefer to make games for a living, but that's far from likely.
Pretty much this, except from an ops perspective. I give absolutely zero shits about my company's product, but I'm never touching any of it anyway and the company is about as non-exploitative as you're going to get under capitalism, and the work itself is rewarding and pays well. I'd much rather be putting my effort towards solving actual problems, but for now I'll just do praxis in my free time.
Happy to start teaching JavaScript/Typescript/React/React Native. Was thinking of starting to stream developing the Android app on a regular basis.
B.S. in IT. Mainly a powershell and networking guy if there's any interest in that.
Also the wonky stuff of Windows Server admin.
Working on getting some Linux certs and getting into Ansible & Python for automation.
i would potentially be interested in attending a cs/opsec/tech class taught by a fellow chapo
I would definitely be interested in a CS/opsec/tech class. I have some experience with C and python for use in small scale electronics projects, and it would certainly be fun and useful to learn more. I’d also be into learning more about web development, and maybe tools for 3D modeling/animation like Blender and Godot.
