[elm-discuss] Re: Pre-requisites for learning Elm?

2016-11-24 Thread Razi Syed
It's Elm specific. This class is offered in first year and in first 
semester so there are no pre-requisites. But there obviously feels like 
there are prequisites because I'm totally lost.

[elm-discuss] What do I need to know before attempting to learn ELM?

2016-11-24 Thread Razi Syed
Are there any prerequisites I should know before trying to learn ELM? I've 
never programmed in my life before, and the elm website's tutorial seems to 
assume the reader already has some sort of background in programming since 
I don't understand a lot of terminology. Where do I start?

[elm-discuss] Pre-requisites for learning Elm?

2016-10-23 Thread Razi Syed
Hi everyone, I've never programmed before and in my first year course we're 
doing Elm. The prof expects us to learn Elm on our own, and simply does 
examples in class applying what he thinks we should have learned. Problem 
is, I'm totally lost. Some people are telling me you're supposed to know 
HTML and CSS before Elm. Even the official elm guide seems like it assumes 
you know HTML and CSS and javascript (note: I simply know the names of 
these languages and nothing about them), or have programmed in a 
non-functional programming.
