Hello I am a cryptocurrency enthusiast and a computer engineering student. I have some knowledge in Android development(hence Java), C++, python.
It doesn't matter what language syntax you know,you can be only well versed/ninja of a language if you have been working with it for years.Like the creator of C++ rates himself as 7/10 when asked how much C++ does he know because language is so vast,coming to your next question
I want to make a LIVE market stats(market depth and live price etc) software and eventually into an Android app.
You can literally pick up any market and use their API to display the data however you want.Need Basic HTML/CS/JAVASCRIPT if web is your platform of choice but the api remains they same should you wish to use java and android.
I hope I can get a some advice from you guys. No competition, the software is for myself! Here is what I would like to know
1. What CS knowledge do I need? Like what language should I focus on studying.
Forget the language just focus on getting the basics right.Read this book : SCIP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs) (must read).Once you have strong basics,you can use any language as a tool.You already know enough to create that app.Find a API of your choice and get started.
2. How to get the LIVE information from the exchange websites. Should I contact them or there are other ways.
There is go
https://coinmarketcap.com/api/ Data is available in Json,utilize it the way you want to
Any additional advice would be very much appreciated!
Thank you
Everybody can code,not everybody can write code for everybody to understand.
