I decided to throw at him a couple of video tutorials and programming books, but he rejected them saying he wanted me to walk him through the learning process till he has learnt enough to carry on.</p> <p>With some reluctance, i took the challenge and here i am, confused! I've never thought about teaching a total newbie programming. I myself never had a one-on-one programming teacher. I'm confused! I'm confused because i don't know where to start from, what path to follow in his learning journey. I have questions like "should i start with data types?" or "should i introduce him to github first?" or maybe we should just discuss about programming in general. Then what next???</p> <p>So <a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/ben">@ben</a> and <a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/jess">@jess</a> and all developers with experience as tutors to newbies, help me out here. <strong>What is the right learning path for an absolute beginner?</strong></p> <p>Thanks.</p> beginners javascript discuss David Disu Tue, 05 Dec 2017 03:24:50 +0000 https://dev.to/ioedeveloper/just-me-ej4 https://dev.to/ioedeveloper/just-me-ej4 <p>Hi! I'm David, although i love to go by the name <strong>ioedeveloper (internet of everything developer)</strong>.<br> I think i am in love with <strong>python</strong>, she's easy to understand, saves me a load of work and just gives me that feeling...i think its TRUE LOVE.<br> I like to flirt with <strong>angularjs</strong> and <strong>nodejs</strong> (shhh...python must not know about this), they make me realise how awesome i am and how much more i can achieve with less effort.<br> I had a thing with <strong>PHP</strong> for a while, but it just did not work out (it's personal).<br> I plan on getting to know <strong>react</strong>, they say she's pretty awesome and would make my life a whole lot better.<br> That's all you should know about me. <br> Thanks to <a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/ogwurujohnson">@ogwurujohnson</a> for introducing me to this platform.</p> beginners python node react
