  • Try start with How to design programs 2nd which has a online version. The authors believe everyone could have fun programming and so am I.

    What operating system and tools should a beginner use to learn programming?
  • If all you want is to familiarize yourself with some basic programing concepts, programming language constructs (types, expressions and control statements like if and while) and was able to solve some simple problems with basic algorithms, I think your current setup is enough. You can learn all these on your 6 GB RAM laptop.

    But if you were gonna learn programing in certain domains, for exmaple, most of deep learning things is both computing intensive and IO bound, you might be forced to consider upgrading your PC.

    Dota 2 Bali Major: BetBoom get default loss vs Tundra after Pure caught stream-sniping
  • Never thought you could cheat in a way so hilarious. It's not like they can't win against tundra without this moronic act, but I guess this is the price you have to pay for your stupidity and dishonesty.
