Again, this should be in the Announcements forum. I think this is the 2nd post about this subject in a short period of time. I think you should just learn how to use the appropriate forum.

Have you ever wanted to become a programmer and write your own video games? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to understand a modern programming language? Have you ever felt intimidated by the level of knowledge needed to be a proficient programmer? Have you tried to teach yourself C++ using books or websites, but to no avail?
If you answered “yes” to any of the previous questions, then 3D Buzz has a solution that will change the way you look at programming forever! 3D Buzz is making it’s C++ Programming VTMs available to the public for the first time ever!
