As most of you know, I didn’t have much time to do any programming in the past few years while I was in school. I completed my last class in December, 2010 and took a nutrition class for the spring semester of ’11.
It’s been about a month since I decided to start programming once again – currently getting reacquainted with C. I’m following a book I purchased back in 2000, “Sams Teach Yourself C in 21 Days (6th Edition)“. My version is a little outdated – it’s the 4th edition but it’s an easy book to follow. I’ve never had any problems with the “teach yourself in 21 Days” series.
I hope to get through C and go on to C++ (never used it before), Java, and later ActionScript (never used it before). If time permits, I hope to their syntax in the next couple of months.
I have done some cool things with C so far. I had never developed/compiled on linux (I use Ubuntu) before so it’s been fun learning to use gcc.
Also… I want to take a minute to thank the guys at Ubuntu Forums. I’ve posted code for some of my projects and they have helped me see where I could make improvements. I have also learned quite a bit about programming and algorithms.
I’ve uploaded the code that I submitted to Ubuntu Forums. They are two very popular games – Hangman & Tic-Tac-Toe.
And before you say anything… these are the last programs I will EVER publish with “gets()”. That said… I look forward to your comments.
