Learning coding

Where did you all learn coding?

I have one very basic code that was mainly copied from on here but I want to do more. So where did everyone learn this? Coworkers, books, Google, YouTube, classes, guy in a van down by the river??? What reading materials/websites/videos/classes/guys in vans by rivers would you recommend? I am going to take the free (until June) "VB.Net for PC-DMIS 301" class online probably this weekend. I see what you guys are having DMIS do with coding and I see how it can greatly help here at my job so I want to learn as much as I can. I'm the kind of person that is thirsty for knowledge and can't learn enough. My boss has had conversations with the owner and myself about sending me to classes at the local community college and they are all for it but that's on hold until this virus blows over.

Any recommendations you guys have are greatly appreciated.

  • A fun one for me was to re-create a scripts that floating around here somewhere that takes all programs in a directory and reads all of the probes used and tips for each one. I adopted to use as much Object Oriented Programming as I could, what a blast!

    I would create small checker/helper programs to assist you in developing part routines... think of the one thing you always forget to do when writing Pc-Dmis part programs.... like forgetting to change that pesky default tolerance you forgot to correct.

    Another would be to figure out how to send arguments to console applications and/or how to fire console .exe from within Pc-Dmis.


    Do you have some examples on here that you can point me to? We are incredibly slow so my boss is letting me spend as much training time as I want, just what I needed to start learning this.
