I anticipate my kid needing to live in a word with capitalism, it doesn't ncessarily mean that they need a Mastercard at 4 years old. Same with many other things: condoms, keys to a car, access to alcohol. There is a time for everything, and at the age of 4, a young human probably has not yet maxxed out on analog stimuli opportunities. I learned YouTube when it came out in 2006 and I was 21. I've got 19 years of... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
I've always been fascinated by the technology. I spent many hors playing video games and the first dive into the world of development was when I had to code a game on Scratch. The excercise looked pretty easy: Create a Tamagotchi-like game. Let me tell you - It wasn't easy at all for someone of a young age! There were many things that I needed to pay attention to: Things I have never heard of before! - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
I would be surprised if your first program was C++? Specifically, getting a decent C++ toolchain that can produce a meaningful program is not a small thing? I'm not sure where I feel about languages made for teaching and whatnot, yet; but I would be remiss if I didn't encourage my kids to use https://scratch.mit.edu/ for their early programming. I remember early computers would boot into a BASIC prompt and I... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

That being said, I wouldn't push it back that far. At best, push it back a month, and spend that month on sololearn.com focusing on the Java courses. If you know Java, you can learn Python on the fly. Then keep track of your intended schedule (once you've discussed the order you'll attempt classes with your Mentor; I've just copied your list verbatim) with due dates, as below. The Buffer weeks are there to... Source: almost 2 years ago
Watch this video by Game Maker's toolkit to understand Unity, after that, learn C# using SoloLearn, it's a Duolingo style (mobile/web)app that teaches programming languages. When you finish both, start doing your own projects and when you don't know something look for documentation, if you don't find any, then search on google, if you still don't find how to do what you want, then you ask on Reddit and StackOverflow.

Additional Certifications never hurt. You could bang out the HTML, JavaScript, and CSS certs on sololearn.com in no time. I challenged my daughter to learn c# and I did it along with her ... 2 weeks and a few hours total later I had a new addition for my linkedin profile. Source: almost 2 years ago
