About three days ago, I was Google-ing computer languages (something I never really learned well enough), and eventually I came across this great website--WHICH I FORGOT TO BOOKMARK! UGH!
I've been looking again for the past 3 hours, and now have a headache.
Basically, it taught--entirely for free--very basic programming; and without having to download ANYTHING.
I was interrupted at the time and never got to see the rest of it, but the first part went like this...1) It gave a little history and info to encourage you (just like the wonderful teacher it was)
2) It taught by example...it had a text box with a simple "guess the number" program already written into it, and allowed you to mangle it to practice some skills.
3) this text box actually had a run mechanism (so no compiler download or any crap like that).
4) there were several other lessons that you could progress through (the next one I think, after this, was printing your name).
Please help me find this again.I remember some of the program...something = int (rnd(1)*100) +1print "I'm thinking of a number,"
print "and I want you to try and guess it."then there was some code about if you guess too low or too high.Anyway, if you have a few moments to waste on me, please look for this and give me some ideas where to search.Gratefully,
