Actually, Bak, my course is kind of the opposite side of the same token. We're learning the language, without learning how to program. I would like to learn one of two ways. One being where they teach us how to program in C or C++ or something like that, and they teach it to me so I can actually use it. Or, they teach it to me from the bottom up(the preferred method), and teach it in such a way that afterwards, I could teach myself a language. So instead of learning programming, I'm learning how to learn how to program. They seem to have taken the third option, teach me a language but no actual programming, so I can't do squat. And it's done in such a way that it helps me none at all when it comes to me trying to learn programming on my own. Programming ought to be taught as a vocation, the way I see it. If college wasn't free, I'd've dropped out by now, no way would I pay to learn absolutely nothing. >_> |

Uninspired CS professors seem to save the programming for later, after you've learned more of the language. It's stupid. _________________ This help is informational only.

Haha, I just found my professor's powerpoint slides and assignments for his C# class he keeps advertising. Now I have something to do during C++ labs. Other than reading this forum. <_< You know, if I go ahead and do the assignments now, I bet I could take that class, and just show up for tests. I guess I should check to see if he takes attendance first. |

Use streams if you are coding in c++. They are very nice. |
