Hey a self taught C/C++/C# programmer have done a lot of embedded and simulation work for school, work, and fun but I’m interested in moving to making web apps and website stuff, anyone know where / what I should look into learning since I was never really interested in making web stuff up till now.<br>
If you know C#, I’d say look into ASP.NET w/C#. VS makes it so easy you do the majority of the work in C# so you don’t even really have to learn ASP syntax lol<br><br>anyone know what are the big job sites for IT jobs in UK, Ireland, or EU in general?<br>

I have the same question, but for Canada.
The dev team behind Super Comboman is looking for a Unity developer: http://www.gamedev.net/classifieds/item/1678-experienced-unity3d-game-programmer/<div><br></div><div>I’d apply, but I don’t live in the US. Thought I’d share this for anyone who’s interested in the game and would like a shot at helping create it.</div>

<br>https://jobsearch.direct.gov.uk/register.aspx?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fjobsearch.direct.gov.uk%2Fhome.aspx<br><br>this is the biggest job site in the UK and its funded by the government. If you have the right qualifications and experience, programming jobs are the easiest to get. i know this because my brother’s a programmer on £5k per month.<br>

this is great bro, big ups!<br><br>you know if there are any places that particularly lack in local IT talent?<br>
Here’s an interesting article on how Pac Man’s ghost AI works: http://gameinternals.com/post/2072558330/understanding-pac-man-ghost-behavior
Here’s a more in-depth examination of Pac Man: http://home.comcast.net/~jpittman2/pacman/pacmandossier.html
That article(the dossier) was actually a basis for one of my AI class projects. We took a Mrs. pacman framework and changed the ghosts’ behaviors to og pacman’s.
You woulda never known how in depth the AI went. Cool stuff
Random, but I am currently playing in the Mafia game on SRK right now (SRK Mafia VII: Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Edition - APOCALYPSE (GAME OVER)) and I wrote a java program that can parse all the posts in the thread, and run statistical analysis on it. So far I only have Post Order, Post Count, and Post Correlation (how often players post near other players). Thought it was pretty nifty, just threw it together for fun. It even puts the output in a nice copy/paste format with spoiler tags already embedded.
Not sure what other sort of stuff I could track… maybe add date/time to track active hours for people? Word analysis too… theres a catch where one guy has to guess the password, which all the other players must have said, in order to join them. I could track each word said by each player, and actually use that to maybe pinpoint who the mafia are maybe. At the very least we can get common word usage, etc.
Anyway, was the first time I wrote something to parse HTML contents, so studying the format of the new forums and how to make sure to parse each post was a fun challenge.
I figured you wrote a program for that I was gonna as, and now I feel like a jackass for using notepad and ticking off people’s post count.
Haha, that’s the programmer way… do a shit ton of work to make things automated so we can be lazy about it.
I’ll probably post the binary/source up soon, as it probably makes me a large target for the Mafia now… especially since you may be one of them! MIND GAMES
That way it can live on beyond me, and you can keep it updated if you’d like
Gah, finally deciding to get back into programming(having not done anything with it since school), Going to re-learn Python, and wanting to get into Perl and LISP too, any good materials that you guys recommend for those languages?
Also looking for groups to join as far as small programming projects and whatnot, any help would be appreciated >:3
^Bahaha I’m actually using that to get back into things, spent a long while on the javascript track back when they hadn’t put the python track up yet.
ive been interested in programming for a while. but not sure how to get started…anyone got any suggestions on where to go to learn for beginners? like i have a blank slate on learning this stuff.
Find something that interests you (games, websites, ai, etc) and then just kinda jump into it.
I got started when I was like 11, with a game called ZZT. Nobody probably ever heard of it, but ZZT was this stupid Ascii art game
http://www.textmodegames.com/images/screens/zzt.gif
but it contained an editor inside of it, so you could see how it was done. Well I started reading up, and tweaking other peoples stuff, and before you knew it, I was creating my own games. Programmed a complex state machine that actually let you play golf across multiple maps, with multiple players, and kept score and told who won.
It was pretty awesome, doing/learning that all on my own, then I moved forward and took Programming in High School, took the AP in C++ the first year they switched to that (1999). For shits an giggles, I actually found a copy of the AP I took back then (http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/computer-science-released-exam-1999.pdf). Ah memories.
Anyway, yes, so find something that interests you, be it something simple like a Meme Generator, and then just kinda work on it, take somebody elses working meme generator (https://github.com/BuddyMeme/Meme.js/blob/master/meme.js) and then improve it, change stuff, see what happens.
the best part is, you can never break anything permanently!
There’s a 3DS game on eShop that lets you create games using their in-game programming language. I forgot the name of the game, but it seemed interesting. Maybe that’s something you could look into (if you want to make games).
^I used to want to make games, but now a lot more interested in cybersecurity stuff, have this page bookmarked:
BEWD, watch the Defcon talks on Youtube. They’re a treasure trove of hacker goodness. :tup:
:tup:
Anybody familiar with C#? I’ve been making simple games in Game Maker using their built in language, GML, which is based on C. Now I’m moving on to Unity which uses C# and JavaScript.
