As for all you other programmers out there learning C++.... FORGET IT!!! Move on to C Sharp [C#]! Not only is it, and will be, the industry standard for many years to come, it is ALOT more flexible and more easy to work with. And if you already know some C++, you should have no problem switching to C Sharp since the way the code is written is very similar. You don't have to switch, (duh, it's your choice), but if you do, I am here to help!

I didn't spend $35 on a C++ book just to forget its contents. C++ is still used in the industry today. Besides, I've looked into C#, I don't want to learn the Fisher Price of programming.

@ Dave: So far out of date that many people still use it for development? You're a web developer; you're on the opposite end of the spectrum. I would expect a web developer to rely on forms, but MFC - with its use of OOP Architecture - allows for us to easily migrate engine code through COM into external tool apps such as map editors, model viewers, and particle editors. I can't speak for any other industry, but in the gaming industry, it's by no means dead.
|
I may be a web developer, but hardly. I hardly do web development at all anymore. All my time is spent programming in C Sharp and C++...
As for MFC, even though it is out of date, I never said it was not used. I am fully aware that MFC is used widely across the world still; And as for using COM, Windows Forms have full functionality to interact with COM. Using Windows Forms you can still create 3D enviroments such as a model viewer; to do that however, you must implement DirectX, which I am also learning how to use.
Anyway, this isn't something that is on topic here. You can further argue your point via Personal Messaging, I am looking for ideas, not arguements here.

I am a bit excited about C Sharp, you will have to pardon that. I still use C++ on a daily basis, it is a very good language to learn. I recommend C Sharp because it has alot C++ has and more. The concepts and logic are very similar, which makes it easy to learn.
You will learn in time that when you find tutorials for something that only comes in C Sharp code, it is really easy to translate it into C++. As for C++ code translated into C Sharp it is just as easy.

Even if BHS did put up an offer to me, I would have to turn them down. I already have my hands full here at DCOM Productions.

Sorry to be mean, but that is completely irrelevent to this thread. I believe you have already posted a thread asking, if someone is willing to give you a serial key, I am sure they will post in your thread.

That has no relevance. I never once gloated in any post in this thread that I had talent. Just because I know programming and ask for ideas? Like I said in my post, I am getting ideas to challenge myself and learn more; to crave my need for more knowledge. As I also said in my post, I currently have 3 other projects going on, but I still want more ideas. I want ALOT of ideas. The more ideas I have, the more creative I can be with my programs.

After I have thought about all the ideas that have been bestowed upon me, I have become really interested in your idea, Apache. (I still have all other ideas written down in my list). I will be contacting you via email for more detailed information.
