About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Sorry guys I might have disabled all kinds of notifications so I didn't get your questions. I got a job as a Front-End Developer at a small Software Development company. Since the company was small I had to do all kinds of Design related stuff from Design Logos + Branding to Wireframing and UI design in Photoshop/XD along with usual Front-End Coding. 2nd year on the Job I was essentially leading the Design Team. But Due to too much workload and very little salary and potential for growth I decided to quit the job and never to work in small companies. I am currently doing freelancing and now to get some stability, I have decided to master UX Design and get a job at a big company where they know how to keep theit employees happy. I'm sure my experience and knowledge of Graphic Design and Front-End Development will give me an edge as a UX Designer.

@alanroberts7916
@alanroberts7916 4 года назад
When some of my friends became addicted to videogames it seemed apparent to me that there are two sides to a computer; the people who made money from computers, and the people that spent money on computers, one way or another. I wanted to be one of the people that made money or profited in some way or other from my computer. So I taught myself beginners all-purpose symbolic instruction code language. Basic was too slow for the graphics that I wanted to do on my Commodore 64 (8-bit) computer. So I typed in the assembler and went to work on learning 'machine' language. I remember feeling elated the day I found out I could print the letter A so fast it filled up the screen almost instantly. I can't say I've made money from computers since I've never really tried to. But I can't measure the amount of fun and confidence that I've gained throughout the years.

@MrNiceguy3210 9 лет назад
I literally got into programming only last week, and I realised that if I learn C#, it could help me manipulate computers to make jobs easier. To think that we waste so much power on apps like flappy bird when we could be solving unimaginable problems. Plus, it would make me feel smarter and I would get to work with Unity. Bonus.
@kagoTshabota
@kagoTshabota 8 лет назад
+Niceguy3210 , I think flappy bird isn't really a waste of time. It can serve as a parthway of a practice to see how to solve small programming tasks so that the next time you program you are a more experienced problem solver. It's just baby steps, not the amount of coding involved, but the process of coding.

@s_hietsch
@s_hietsch 8 лет назад
+Randy Fleming I wouldn´t recommend Tkinter for game design, try using pygame for that. (Tkinter is great for general GUI though) For ideas: Try to write a program about something which interests you. (It doesn´t even need to be useful) I for example made one which can calculate prime numbers, and one which encodes text.
