My Dream.In.Code blog: 1-2-3-A-B-C++

Filed Under (Blog, Geekery) by Ben on 23-08-2010

I’ve decided to start a new programming blog on Dream.in.Code.   The reason i’m not writing it here is because I want (need) a larger community following, and their’s is awesome.  I’ve been visiting DiC for a while now, and I think I can learn a lot by using the forums there.

 

I know PHP, Javascript, and some Java from college, but I’ve never really gotten far in C++.  I’ve owned a few books and tried to learn a few times, but I couldn’t get very far before quitting.  This time, it’ll be different.

 

I picked up a book, Beginning C++ through Game Programming.  It’s not to teach you how to write games, it’s written to explain C++ through game programming analogues.  I’ve gone through the first 6 chapters, and it’s working pretty well.  Between this book and the community on Dream in Code, I think I’ll have a better chance of learning this amazing language.

 

The blog is 1-2-3-A-B-C++

After Holly’s car accident last month, the doctors told her she wouldn’t be able to walk for at least 6 months. This is her after 2 weeks of physical therapy.
