    I'm new to digitalpoint. A friend of mind reference me to this site. I have interests in engineering. I am studying C++ right at the current moment. I hope to be able to apply my skills somewhere in this god forsaken US economy.:mad: I would like to learn more about software development. So if there is any guru's that can point me in a good direction, I'm all ears.

    Thanks man.

    English is my native tongue. I also speak a little Japanese too. こにちわ.

    I have some programming experiences. So, I not completely noob at it. But I would like to improve. I have a keen interest in game development. I know that developing a good game is no small potatoes. I understand a lot of games and their engines are written in C++ or C. I believe that is a good start.

    How do you get into other sections. There is some sections I would like to talk but I cannot enter that section. Do I have to participate in something or what? Anyone knows?

    You probably won't find many jobs involving C++ on these forums, unless you have an idea for a project and are looking for a JV (that's Joint Venture) with some great promoter to promote your product.

    Welcome :)

    I figure as much. I think C++ is a good starting program. Java's syntax is very similar and with C++ it will help force some good programing practice. I plan to learn other languages as well. Got to start somewhere.:confused:

    I would start with Java, actually. C++ is much more error prone and advanced. I know plenty of people who swear by teaching Java first, or C.

    I wrote some Java in college as well as C++. I also wrote in Objective C for employment for awhile. One of the reason I chose C++ is of its use in different applications. C++ is heavily used in game engines. And it has a lot of complexity.

    Java is good to know because it runs in its own virtual machine so its easier to write code for different OSes. I would agree that to teach someone who has no programming experience to learn Java first. Its simpler language to use. Right now I am trying to review basics and then learn the more complicated functions.

    C++ is definitely the better engine. It's faster, and you can access the RAM. All the major financial institutes, especially at Wall Street, use C++, mostly for its speed.
