Hey there, I have finally completed that micro-course Engineering Computing which features entirely on C programming for the semester. Before that, I studied C++ when I was in Form 2 (what else other than being inspired by the idea of creating CS bots??), and grabbed all the basics beforehand. Afterwards, got stuck in Pointers and References (sheesh I hated these, but they are very useful!!) and didn't crack my head or studied that because of the PMR. (and not to mention also after that is SPM, STPM!!) On this year and this half-year, I got to study them back, but now in the flavour of C instead - I have to get accustomed to the printf() and scanf() functions instead of pushing out cout<< or cin>> thingy and all the overloading stuff. How painful it is to get accustomed with all the C at first, but thankfully, I still know how to build a heck out of a program, creating complex loops and all the other stuff. So I finished the C course already, now with my knowledge of Pointers and some boring file input/output (and not to mention, linked lists!!) covered. Now, a question, is it possible to resume to C++ and get my gears moving toward Classes, Inheritance and Polymorphisms?
your graphics card is too slow to nest the code. go get a GeForce 8, then we will start talking about coding classes
Heheh... where did you get that idea? I want to do Half-Life series (1 and 2) modding, but my C++ is just half-way through. Wish I can get these further studies covered and do these straight away.
If you are doing C++, try it on Windows system. Creating utility to catch keycodes from wireless keyboard, mouse, customizing mouse buttons, etc. You'll learn alot and may find a career in that too. There are so many things that you can do with C++ that other language can't. I wish I learned that earlier. My colleague who's into C++, .NET, etc. I see him code also He's the one who told me no one in his/her sanest mind would write a program from the 1st line.
I see. But some of my main focus is to develop some Windows programs and some game modding like Half-Life series, which seriously requires C++. Not really sure whether C# and Java supports Half-Life series though..
