dodgy computer scientist at your service
Hello all. I'm a 20 year old professional hater of programming studying at UEA Norwich in the UK. I fall into the 'would love it if I could do it' category and have struggled with programming for a while.
Unfortunately I am about to embark on my final year at uni, and have compulsory graphics units to take, which means C++ and openGL *shudder. Although I did some Java in the first year I really couldnt get my head around some of the key concepts, such as thinking in OOP, inheritance etc. Anyways enough of my life story. I hope to bug all you brainiacs with ridiculously easy coding questions once I've finished my dummies book. ta ta |

Welcome to the club. Here's a tip: unless it's written by Dan Gookin, throw away the Dummies book. They suck.

welcome... Yeah, the "...for Dummies." series really sucks. Stick with it, if you have trouble, post a detailed question and someone here is bound to know how to help out. By all means, do not post only your homework assignment with a request to have it completed and emailed to you.

Anywho, looks like I made a mistake with dummies book. I guess they are not to popular around here, but then I tend to go on the reputation of the dummies series (quite good ive found) as oppose to the author. Thankyou all for your humble welcome messages |
