Dunning-Kruger
Guys, need some help... I feel that I know a fair bit about robotics however I am held back by my lack of computer knowledge in general... I have actually had a few job offers after my inMoov video but I turned them down because I am a bit of a dumb a** when it comes to computer knowledge... I can't very go into an interview if the HR guy asks me what software can you use and I look at him like I am Homer Simpson... I have a real interest in possibly working part-time in the robotics industry in general... Whether online helping or working local for a company.... I am not looking for a second career really, rather part time gig... So, what are the must courses would you guys recommend other than C++, C# etc?... What do you recommend that would be a good compliment with my interest in robotics... SLQ, Visual Basic, web design or ?
@Alan, Rich David, DJ... I especially welcome your input...
@David... You guys are awesome thanks for all the info... Made my list of things I want to learn... One at a time..
David, on a side note... I have been reading up on AVM navigator using Navigate mode and Nova gate mode... This is heavy stuff, but should do exactly what I need as far as giving my inMoov (and other bots) some sort of intelligent navigating abilities...
Like I said... lots to do... LOL
It is really cool stuff. I think it could be used for that whole charging platform conversation also. AVM is really cool. I haven't dug in enough to offer much help, but from what I have seen it be able to do, it was well worth the $58.
$79 for us Canucks...
But I agree... It's definitely a great way to accomplish self docking... and not all that difficult, really...
Since you are thinking of taking courses, I would take c# or c++ to get a lot of programming basics, once you have a few of those under your belt I think you would really be helping yourself out by taking a software design patterns course. The reason being that design patterns courses will teach you lots of methods of problem solving different issues with software instead of hacking your way through a problem. I write code for a living and we use them all of the time. Essentially, this type of course will teach you to use the right tool for most jobs you will find yourself doing with a programming language.
@Brian, thanks dude... I know a little about C++ as I did my stint with arduino coding...
I do understand (pretty well) logic programming... it's just a matter of learning the newer languages and the way they do things...
So, yeah just looking to understand windows way of doing things now...
