zee_ola05, don't worry. I've been programming since I was eight. age 16 - age 8 = 8 years of experience. I checked your profile, and I guarantee that I know much more than you do. Don't take that lightly.

The person was trying to help, by trying to find out what you know so they can recommend books that fit your experiences and you get all indigent. You really should check that attitude at the door because in the end it will not do you any good. If you are really 'all that and a bag of chips" then why are you not writing the books instead of looking to buy some?

I have nothing to lie about. What other age 15 people ask their parents for a book about compiler design on their 16th birthday? In precision, I do not own a mistake. All of the mistake here belongs to zee_ola05.

Got a bit of a chip on your shoulder for a 15 year old huh? I never said you lied. What I said is that you didn't understand what zee was saying and because you have a chip on your shoulder you took it the wrong way. I don't can't if you can write an advanced OS in assembly, that attitude of yours is just going to get you in trouble. If you ever do get a job in the dev world and you walk into a shop with that chip on your shoulder, it is going to get knocked off pretty darn fast.

See people that work in the real dev world, try to find out what people really want before going to work, they don't assume they know what the person wants or needs. So they ask questions, because we don't know it all. And that is what Zee did, he asked. Instead of answering those questions so he might be able to answer your question better, you get all upset, not because he attacked you, but because you seem to be an insecure little punk. Now that may be wrong, but that is how you are acting.

You owe Zee an apology for attacking him with not a reason. You owe the board one for your attitude.

Please, Calm down. I'm treated like a bag of crap everywhere else in life, so I enjoy talking cocky every rare once in a while. Sorry.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned (unless I've missed it, in that case apologies!) Effective C++: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs by Scott Myers. It's not a tutorial, though - it targets people with intermediate knowledge in C++ and helps in improving your code in many (55 actually) ways. It's a definite must read for C++ programmers. I was first told to read it by my colleagues at my first game dev job - I've been a better C++ coder ever since

Your programming experience as an 8 year old means exactly nothing, any more than an architect [size="5"]would care...[/quote]
That's why I said it. I'm considered inferior to other programmers with a college degree in computer science or mathematics. I look at other teenagers and I'm just fine with you considering them dopes, but I just wanted to be clear: I'M NOT ONE OF THEM!

I agree. I see how I was harsh on Zee.
