14 <p>Learning reactionary programming will give you a deep understanding of programming and will enable to you to write your own programs and websites. However this is not enough to get a job in depraved modern culture. Modern culture will expect you to use tools popular with them, so you would have to learn one of those. Probably the least horrible programming tool used by modern culture is <a href="python.html">Python</a>, so I would recommend learning that if you want a job.</p>
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 <p>The next 4 lessons are basic computer literacy. Even if you are not interested in programming, these would be useful skills.</p>
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
18 <p>I will develop this course incrementally based on demand. Whenever anyone completes the content here, I will add another lesson/section. This way I won't waste my time writing content that no one will use.</p>
|
|
|
19
|
|
|
20 <p>This course will be designed for you to learn reactionary programming in a logical sequence. I will focus on finding relevant resources, and I will only write explanations when nothing else is available on the subject. I will focus on web development since that is what I know best.</p>
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
22 <p>I will often say "Do X" without saying how to do X. A big part of programming is figuring out how to do things. Your two main resources are Google and ChatGPT. If you get stuck, you can ask me.</p>
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 <p>ChatGPT has become an essential programming tool. So the only task for this lesson is to play with ChatGPT. Later you can ask it technical questions.</p>
|
|
|

|
26 <p>If you have any questions, you can ask me on <a href="https://mikraite.arkian.net/Reactionary-Software-f1999.html">my forum</a>.</p>

32 <p>A text editor is a basic tool for reactionary programmers. We use simple flexible tools. Modern culture uses an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment">IDE</a> which is big, <a href="https://mikraite.arkian.net/Changed-my-mind-about-IDE-s-tp2769.html">complicated</a>, and inflexible. We don't use such tools.</p>
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
34 <p>I reviewed the available text editors and I think <a href="https://www.sublimetext.com/">Sublime Text</a> is the best one available. So please download it and learn how it works.</p>
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON">JSON</a> is the most popular text data format. I think JSON was the last good programming idea from modern culture, developed around 2001, before modern culture became fully depraved. Do your own research on JSON to understand it. It is fairly simple.</p>
|
|
|
37
|
|
|
38 <p>I paired Sublime Text with JSON because Sublime Text uses JSON files for its <a href="https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/settings.html">settings</a>. (Actually not quite pure JSON because it includes comments which are lines starting with <code>//</code>.) Experiment with Sublime Text settings to learn more about both Sublime Text and JSON.</p>

50 <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression">Regular expressions</a>, or regex for short, are used for searching or matching text. Since this is such a common need, regex are found everywhere in programming. Since you just learned Bash, you can learn regex with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grep">grep</a> command that uses regex.</p>
|
|
|
51
|
|
|
52 <p>Unlike with Bash, there are a few decent grep tutorials, so I don't have to write my own. Here they are:</p>
|
|
|
53
|
|
|
54 <ul>
|
|
|
55 <li><a href="https://vegastack.com/tutorials/regular-expressions-in-grep/">Regular Expressions in Grep</a></li>
|
|
|
56 <li><a href="https://cs.nyu.edu/~mohri/unix08/lect4">Regular Expressions</a></li>
|
|
|
57 <li><a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/grep.html">GNU Grep</a></li>
|
|
|
58 </ul>
|
|
|
59
|
|
|
60 <p>I suggest that you just read through these tutorials so that you get a sense for how regex and grep work. You don't need to practice anything here. You can come back to these tutorials later when you have a real need for regex or grep.</p>
|
|
|
61
|
|
|
62 <p>The details of regex vary by implementation. Luan uses <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/regex/package-summary.html">Java regex</a>.
|
|
|
63
|
|
|
64 <p>If you become a serious programmer, then you should have a deeper understanding of regex. In that case I recommend the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Regular-Expressions-Jeffrey-Friedl/dp/0596528124/">Mastering Regular Expressions</a>.</p>
