I am always impressed by the computer programs various people write to help in second
language application in various ways. I often use them, and I often wish I could either tweak them or program something with a slightly different goal. I'm going to have some free time in a few months, and I'd like to learn to program with sla applications in mind. Examples of programs that I've loved: lf aligner (to make parallel texts), gradint (make your own pimsleur), a program to format kindle dictionaries, various word frequency and concordance software, a program to make an interlinear kindle document from parallel text, lingvist (https://lingvist.io/), various forms of manipulating subtitle files srs2anki, etc. I'd like to learn to program these sorts of applications, not professionally, but for my own enjoyment and edification. I would perhaps be working toward doing something like lingvist, ie, big-data, automatically generated gapfills based on word frequency, where the example sentences automatically included only already known vocabulary. The extent of my programming knowledge: learned Basic pretty well 20 years ago. Fooled around with python last summer for 15-20 hours before my computer crashed. Current plan: Do the MIT open courseware python and java courses, and see where I'm at after 6 weeks. Do you have any advice for me? Are there any resources I should know about? Thanks in advance. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

That's exactly the kind of resource I was hoping for. Many thanks, Doitsujin.
