Hello yall, I was wondering if there are videos or something, explaining how to use VEXcode pro. For people who have never coded ever, like me. I know there is block coding, but I’d rather learn to use c++ because I do plan on coding in the future. Do any of ya’ll have any tips or know any good guides that detail on how to use VEXcode pro for c++?
Hi. I’m a coder for the team 1156G and if you’re just starting code I would start with something a lot simpler than C++. I’m in the process of learning C++ right now so I can access the features that VexCode Pro has to offer. I would start out with python. Look up some tutorials online for beginning python (Non VexCode) and download pycharm. From that move into using python on VexCode V5. Sadly VexCode pro doesn’t have python support yet.
TL;DR:
Start with python on V5

I would start with tutorials for sratch as its very similar to vex block code.
Before you learn a language like C++ or Python it’s a good idea to learn the key concepts and ideas of coding in something simple and easy like block code then learn how to apply those same concepts with a written language like C++ or Python.
C++ is harder to learn than Python but C++ is used all over the world and is one of the industry standard coding languages. It’s more of a learning curve but would be a great tool to have under your belt if you want to do more coding in the future.
Hope this helps.

Hello, thank you this does help somewhat. I am aware that using block coding is far easier than c++. I think I’ll try phython. I’ve heard it is easier.
Thanks! would this specific video be used to do auton??
Yes I’m aware. I also wanted to use inertia sensors in the future and I’ve heard that c++ is the best language to code in using those. Anyways Thanks for your info! It helps a lot!
