I studied C in college 25 years ago. Studied C+ on my own five years later. I took a C++ class at work 15 years ago. A C# online training session five or ten years ago. They had little to do with one another...

_{(* shriek! *)}

So glad I retired.

Wow, you are a veteran coder then! I've been working with C# for a good while but always had a more hands on approach, time to get theory part sorted :P

Retirement is something I won't have so I better keep codin'

I can feel the anonymous types from all the way over here.

Woo, get your automapper ready cuz the entities are coming xD

I'll do the getter if you do the setter.

Deal! Time to set up the dependency injection then xD

as long as you dont start sexin the book.... paper cuts are bad....^^

Whelp, too late I guess, I already slept on the book :P

*gasp* scandelous XD

What is the point of having knowledge if you can't have fun with it x3

Sounds painful

I am getting used, it is just 1400 pages of technical stuff xD.

In the words of Bill Clinton, "I feel your pain."
I have to have a basic understanding of C to deal with Arduino and Micro programming.

Anytime you need help, just ask me.
I'll be more than happy to tell you I haven't the slightest idea how to do that.

Aww, well, C# while based on C is very different and has tons of features I am still exploring. After years of hands on practice I need to start understanding more of the theory to get to a new level ^^;.

Thanks for the offer, I'd say the same about any C related questions xD

Coony hugs

Murrs, coony hugs.

Back in high school I went to a private boarding school, with maybe 40-60 students total. It was in the days of payphones and dial up, dsl was still pretty new. I took a computer class, because you had to. The teacher was getting people used to computer use, like how to use the mouse and type, to how to use the internet, and most of the students actually needed it. I kept telling him, I already know how to do that, even up to building/cobbling a computer running commands, and the like.

Will never forget him walking over to a shelf, coming back with a huge book of C and plopping it into my arms all "Betcha don't know this" XD If the sunglasses scrolling down "deal with it" meme was around then, that was the perfect example of it.

Oh my gosh, badass teacher detected xD. So, did you end up learning C? x3

Thanks for sharing this story, it was fun to read and imagine the scene ^.^

Alright, time to go back to the book ^^;

I recall a period where I tried :P I did not learn it, and I had many friends try to lead me back into other languages but its just not something I grok anymore. It was C9X/C99 and I still remember what the book and pages looked like, and the smell but nothing actually IN it. :P Only a few books stick like that lol.

Paul was brushing up on it recently, well not the same C but some C of some sort.

I see, coding is something that fades away if you don't practice and practicing without purpose feels just pointless, I work with the thing so practicing happens daily ^^;.

The book I am reading is pretty much like you described, totally unfun, but it is revealing quite useful ^^;.

If you ever feel like coding or at least giving Paul some ideas, I'd recommend javascript, since you can write stuff and test on the browser, it is a fun and very useful language =3.
