do I need to learn something first?
I want to make some basic apps . I have no idea where to start . I think the tutorials are useful but think I might need a primer in programming languages . Learn what they are and what they capable of etc . Should I learn some basic JS or something more agnostic like a general overview of programming languages ? My background is in UI Design so this is something completely different for me . I 'd suggest you start with toddle 's Day 1 , Day 2 , . .videos . Whenever you are not clear with a concept just go and watch a good YouTube video to understand in detail . A back and forth approach will help you move faster . Programming is an ocean , if you start there , there are good chances that you may feel a bit lost . Also , depending on what you 're trying to build the approach can vary . I watched this video and got kind of lost and confused with the variables part . https://youtu.be/tTJm6-0Wras?si=45oNbjalErtCO1oN @msh2k Also design background here . When I was first starting out teaching myself web dev , I really enjoyed Superhi 's courses . https://www.superhi.com/catalog/html-css-javascript-foundation Is a good foundation course if you are new to web development in general . But a lot of their courses are taught in a way that is catered to designers specifically and is very approachable . I found them much easier to follow than something like codecademy , etc . If you 're using Figma for your design work , I would take the time to learn how auto -layout works (if you havent already ) . If you can grasp how to efficiently use it , you 'll be able to pick CSS Flexbox very easily - which is what toddle uses as a default for creating layouts . They are basically the same thing . Def poke around the superhi site and see if anything pops out . They also have a 'Javascript for Designers ' course : https://www.superhi.com/catalog/javascript-for-designers @msh2k
Will do , cheers Another great free resource is Daniel Shiffman 's 'The Coding Train ' . Specifically this playlist on Object Oriented Programming helped me a bunch : https://thecodingtrain.com/tracks/code-programming-with-p5-js/code/6-objects/1-intro . There are a bunch of other great resources for modern javascript in this playlist . But his way of teaching is also super great for visual people like designers .
