----------------------------------- Salleh Fri Jun 09, 2006 9:20 am Programming ----------------------------------- I was just browsing to find a useful site that might help me learn a little bit more about programming and found this site. I was just wondering if you guys know of any other sites that might be useful to learn from? Thanks Guys :oops: ----------------------------------- Cervantes Fri Jun 09, 2006 2:37 pm ----------------------------------- What sort of programming forum are you looking for? There are forums that are oriented around particular languages (such as www.ruby-forum.com for Ruby) or around particular type of programming (such as www.gamedev.net for game development). CompSci.ca has a subsidiary, [url=http://freerange.compsci.ca]Free Range Code, that stresses the out-of-school learning of higher level programming concepts. Featured languages include Ruby, Lisp, and O'Caml. ----------------------------------- Salleh Mon Jun 12, 2006 8:48 am ----------------------------------- Im looking more at the game development languages and I'm kind of fascinated with how it all works and really wanna learn myself if it's possible. :P :lol: ----------------------------------- Salleh Mon Jun 12, 2006 8:52 am ----------------------------------- I took Gr 11 computer science lol that's a start :shock: ----------------------------------- wtd Mon Jun 12, 2006 9:05 am ----------------------------------- If I may... game programming is just one subset of programming in general. General programming skills will be applicable to game programming down the line. Don't specialize too soon. ----------------------------------- Salleh Mon Jun 12, 2006 9:08 am ----------------------------------- I want a good place to start and dont really know where to start :cry: ----------------------------------- Salleh Mon Jun 12, 2006 9:10 am ----------------------------------- "Get the stupid mistakes out of the way first. As long as people keep making stupid mistakes, I will point them out so they can be fixed." Wow are you really a God :P :lol: ----------------------------------- wtd Mon Jun 12, 2006 9:12 am ----------------------------------- Well, if you want a really easy, fast language to learn, you could read my Io tutorial. http://www.compsci.ca/wiki/index.php?title=An_Introduction_to_Io ----------------------------------- Salleh Mon Jun 12, 2006 9:16 am ----------------------------------- I'll take a look at it. Thanks your very helpful :D :oops: ----------------------------------- Salleh Mon Jun 12, 2006 9:20 am ----------------------------------- By the way I'm currently taking grade 11 computer science and Turing is the first programming language I've ever learned about and the only (for now):oops: Turing isn't as hard as I thought, it's quite simple and seems like a good start:) ----------------------------------- Salleh Mon Jun 12, 2006 9:51 am ----------------------------------- The only program I have on my computer is Turing. Where am I suppose to get other Programs if I need them? Can I get them off sites like download.com? ----------------------------------- wtd Mon Jun 12, 2006 9:55 am ----------------------------------- Compilers and interpreters can generally be found on the homepages for various languages. If you want to avoid any downloads, you could also try Ruby. :) http://tryruby.hobix.com ----------------------------------- Salleh Mon Jun 12, 2006 12:02 pm ----------------------------------- Thanks wtd :D By the way, cute avatar :lol: ----------------------------------- Salleh Mon Jun 12, 2006 12:57 pm ----------------------------------- How come not all codes are working on my turing program. I have turing 4.0 :( ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Jun 12, 2006 6:07 pm ----------------------------------- What's not working with it? Slow down there buddy, read error messages and figure out what's going on. Although we're always willing to help, it's usually more satisfying to figure things out yourself. ----------------------------------- Salleh Tue Jun 13, 2006 8:43 am ----------------------------------- Hmm I think I know why :!: Some codes wont work with turing 4.0 maybe because those codes are from the newer turing versions :roll: ----------------------------------- codemage Tue Jun 13, 2006 9:10 am ----------------------------------- If I may... game programming is just one subset of programming in general. General programming skills will be applicable to game programming down the line. Don't specialize too soon. I definitely agree - although people with those "dreaded" game development degrees & certs are increasingly able to find work in non-entertainment fields like interface design and computer simulation (medical / scientific / architectural / physics).
