Learning Path
Status: This page is a WIP (Work-in-progress)
Divooka is a comprehensive tool for everyday programming tasks and advanced application development. It can be used both by beginners and vetarans. For that reason it may appear less obvious where to start for beginners. This note provides some structured ways to learning Divooka.
In general, to learn Divooka, there are the following three aspects:
- Basic interface and operation, i.e. what are the shortcuts and menus of an editor.
- Basic program structure and (graphical) "syntax", which is usually straightforward and mostly involve just connecting wires.
- Available functions, APIs, frameworks and tools. Each one of those can be tremendously helpful in your way of constructing more useful programs.
Learning Paths
Here we propose some specific learning paths, enumerating the relevant materials one can follow to study and sharpen there Divooka programming learning experience.
Careers/Professions
Music Hobbist
Definitely explore our MIDI features and Euterpe libraries!
Play with synth and learn to compose with Fluent.
Texture Artist
Explore the world of procedural texture generation...
Software Generalist
Divooka is for you! There is no end in learning, and we as software generalists (otherwise known as polymath in ancient times) strive to learn everything, do everything and be as productive as possible.
Start with basic syntax, then dive straight into The Definitive Guide. When you are done and want to go deeper, join the developer community and publish your own libraries/plugins.
If you want to go really deep, contact us for a glimpse of Divooka source code and become a core contributor to shape the future of Divooka together with us! You may need to pass a few challenges before we accredit and entrust you.
Project Manager
The goal here is to understand high level concepts, be able to read and understand Divooka programs, be able to develop useful programs from high level concepts, can tweak/maintain programs that's already built, and know best practices to best do code review and organize Divooka programs.
(Pending)
Data Scientist
The goal here is to master all stages from data acquisition, data transformation, domain specific modeling, data storage, and reporting.
With a focus on data, data scientists are really full stack developers with a focused scale.
