I started to learn how to play the drums. I have a e-drum set and I’m building this website where I can put my scores and connect my drums, so it can tell me how on time I’m playing.

Almost like a guitar hero thing but with just a metronome

It requires WebMidi to be enabled:

I'm writing my own webserver in python, my only purpose to this is to learn python and to force myself to do TDD and to write more functional code instead of OO or procedural code with side effects. I would like to have a fully working webserver with threads and serving full html pages.

My only problem is that I have to maintain legacy codebases without OOP code.

My region is full of companies with Java/.NET/PHP enterprise apps. Kotlin,Scala,Clojure, and Go it's inexistent here.

I've heard of Kotlin few times, but it never had my interest. I will give a try some day.

I'm learning Java right now, because the market around where I live is flooded by Java(Android too), and they pay well.

After that I'm probably going to learn HTML5/CSS3/JS and some JS framework. Also I really want to learn MeteorJS or Elixir.

Ask HN: Which JavaScript framework should a beginner chose?

Ask HN: Why do people have a hatred for Scala?

Posted by lnk2w on Friday April 17, 2015 @07:27AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm learning Java and Ruby, and I saw few posts about functional programming. So I thought that the next step should be learn a FP language. But I saw so many people hating Scala. Is there a reason for this?edit: Ok, Hatred is a strong word. I shoud have used dislike instead.

Yes, when I was a Accountancy student, I had a lot of classes that I could skip because of my degree, but they charged me for the classes I skipped.
