Ask HN: What resources to give a Comp Sci student that only knows C++/Java?
Am looking to help "enable" computer science developers that only know C++/Java to learn more modern languages Rails/Node.js/etc and work in a Git/Github environment. Any good resources/methods that help make this transition easier?
- achompas 15y agoAre you thinking about resources for learning web frameworks like Rails, Django, etc.? Or do you want them to start working through some of the newer multi-purpose languages (Clojure, Scala, etc.)?
- hasenj 15y ago"Can your language do this?" by Joel Spolsky is an excellent introduction to functional programming for people coming from a C++/Java background. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/08/01.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/08/01.html Reading it was the first time I realized what I had be missing by not knowing anything about functional programming. I think it would motivate people to want to learn more.
