RE: Developing an app for elementary OS 5 Juno with Vala - My first experience and helpful resources
Don't know much about Vala (or any programming language) well, except for python which I tried learning at a point but didn't even go far with it...🤣 I was told it the easiest, but I seriously doubt that, well, maybe because I didn't give it my all?
So the app is supposed to let one download videos to let one download youtube videos, or is it just any video?
Thanks for taking us through the development process, I hope it all works out well😀
I'd say Ruby and Lua are slightly easier, but when you start out with programming the language isn't really the problem, it's the basic programming concepts that you find in all programming languages like variables, functions, loops and so on, once you got those down you can pick up any language with enough time and willingness to learn.
The biggest problem there is perseverance, you need to really want to learn programming so that you don't give up, so it's best to find something you want to create that you're really passionate about so that it keeps you interested. If you're into games, check out Colobot which is a free game that teaches you programming, you're an astronaut visiting different planets and you program robots to help you solve tasks. There's also Pico-8 which is a complete development environment for creating little old school games like Tetris which is very easy to get into.
The app downloads videos from a few hundred websites, including YouTube :) The youtube-dl website has a list of supported sites.
Thanks for your kind words!
What I thought is the easy one isn't that at all. Lol! Yeah, the problem definitely must have been about understanding the concept, that O will try and get a hang of!
Your comment actually made me want to give more to programming, hopefully, it will workout! I will check that post out...
Thank you!!
