I struggle with getting a good engine to download

Nobody cares

dude you look dead inside wtf?

My first programming language was C++, and it's still the reason I love programming. Thanks for sharing your experience! I wasn't sure if what I was planning on doing now in my career was okay, but this video just gave me more confidence in my plan. Thanks again!

Thank you for this video, just did a Cobol Exam in my university and went worse than I thought I would. I just have this fear of getting things wrong, of just "being bad" that I prevent myself from learning, it's like I think everyone is a genius that solves problems easily and I should not spend time getting confused about trivial stuff (in my head if the things are easy I don't allow myself to spend too much time in it). If I stop to think, I have less than 10 hours programming and I decided I want to do this for almost an year. I really need to go back and try to do wrong things (to learn) and write stupid code...

Using "everything" and simply sorting its column by "Date Modified" turns it into the perfect system watcher. You see every file touched or updated or added. I use it this way sometimes just to find what apps do or put its files.

Take a deep breath and dive into the deep end, I started a Udemy coding course a month ago and haven't regretted it one bit. I feel committed and since I purchased the course, its my responsibility to finish it. Only way to learn code is to practice writing it. And so my journey is just beginning. Thanks for your advice Chris, enjoying your content!

Subscribed! Needed to hear that today. :>

I appreciate your opinion. It was only recently that I realized, as long as I'm learning, it's okay to be wrong or imperfect. There is fear on the internet about "learning bad coding habits" - the best way to manage those is to try things and then learn what works best. I finally saw a positive post about this - it said something like, "Self taught programmers aren't intrinsically bad, there just might be some ideas they haven't been exposed to yet." Today I opened up a Python program I worked on two years ago. Some room for improvement: a plethora of Try/Except statements, and it's all in one file. But, there were plenty of elements to be proud of. And I am.

i still somewhat of a noob at c/c++ as far as actually applying what i learned . my primary focus for the last 2 years has been c, but i understand a good portion of c++11 including newer features like vectors. the hardest part is thinking in terms of objects rather than functionally. i like to take my c code and try and improve on it using c++. im not a professional; just a hobbyist.

Thanks.

Why dont you post more??

Awesome, I needed this for the C# ECS I'm developing.

Lucky, I've been an oppressed successful minority for the last 10 years problematically id have loved to have similar work to you I'm good at it.

I've been programming in different languages for almost 20 years. You can always learn something new, and I completely agree with your advice. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome advice!

These raw videos are so cool !!

I’m very thankful for your contribution and I’m super thankful to have a resource in you as I am just finishing up my introduction to computer science course in C++ at school. I am drawn to the humility and transparency you are leading with. Don’t stop brother.

I agree. Except with how many languages there are and how much utility a lot of them have, why choose the hardest one?

My friend: I write good code Also his code: #include <iostream> const char *msg = "Hello world!"; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; int main(){ std::cout << msg; }

Praise Jesus!

This is super cool dude, you are the guy who got me interested into c++ and I am now learning. Keep it up dude, it's super cool!

wasting 4 minutes of my time just for this idiot to spew the most generic advice on the planet

Great video, thank you :)

I know html

💯💯💯

i learned c++ in 2006 with certified diploma from a course, but i never programmed with it except what i did inside the school i graduaded from, my god im old

From what I understand, programming language is a tool, the programmer is the carpenter. Companies provide the tools or require a tool, when you're on your own, you're free to use whatever tool you deem necessary

before going to university, i was trying to teach myself coding on codecademy, and it wasnt long till i felt unhappy and unmotivated to code and continue my info tech studies when i got to university. now im studying something else, but recently i went back to start the html section on codecademy because i want make websites and liked it as a hobby. so far i enjoyed it better than before. too much pressure is definitely unmotivating and stressful, so i prefer to code in my own time out of a school environment. i think its a transferrable skill in all areas of life, and definitely a creative hobby i overlooked because its like making a movie or drawing up a webcomic

I wrote my last C++ program 15 years ago. I love writing my own code but hate having to fix someone else's legacy code. I've seen some absolutely horrible C++ in my time written by games developers (no offence). C++ will let you do something if you really really want to while other languages have the training wheels. This is both a blessing and a curse.

I have used C++ off and on since 1989. There are too many ways of creating buggy code that can't be debugged with C++. I have seen some very nice looking C++ code written by others that constantly hung up. I prefer Python for structured code where speed and realtime performance is not needed. Even worse than C++ is C#. Instead of elaborate structures and inherited objects, etc programs need coherent states. C++, C#, Python, Java, and all the other languages people learn at university today have no facility for synchronizing states. If a program is not synchronous, any bug is possible. Some people don't understand this concept. Probably because they have been stuck doing the same thing over and over again. I will elaborate: There is a problem concurrent software has called the Mutual Exclusion problem. It is very difficult to guarantee different processes get exclusive access to resources in the correct order. I have seen that in large C++ programs. Threads are queued with nothing that regulates in what order different threads get access to resources. A similar case with multiprocessor systems. About 20 years ago I developed an image testing system, for space telescope IR sensors. It had a quad DSP board, that got sensor data over a DMA channel. Concurrently a pixel row was clocked and digitized by an Analog to Digital converter board, the previous row of pixel data was being transferred by DMA to one of the DSPs, and the second previous row of pixel data was being co-added with earlier data. At the end of each frame the image data was transferred to a desktop PC where it was saved to disk. This concurrent operation went on 24/7. The delicate nature of the image sensors (cooled to ~4.5 K) meant the clocking, data acquisition, etc had to be very regular and constant. Each process (4 DSPs, image array clock, user PC) had to operate in a state synchronous way. They communicated by reading shared memory. However if 2 processes tried to read or write to the same shared memory, the software would crash. So the software was very deterministic. In 5 years of operation the software never crashed and every test yielded good data. This is an example of a state synchronous concurrent system. The queued threaded systems (non realtime) software people consider to be standard fare today are not deterministic. So there is no guarantee there are not any conflicts. Leslie Lamport, 2013 Turing Award laureate, describes a similar method of preventing deadlock issues in multiprocessor systems. Good ideas often have concurrent inventors. amturing.acm.org/award_winners/lamport_1205376.cfm

Worked at visual concepts as a designer for a few years but recently got laid off. Recently started learning C++ just because it seems more stable to become a programmer and i also enjoyed coding and debugging code in c# when i spent time independently working on unity projects. i know cpp is much more complex but i think i'll have fun with it

I would say, if your goal is more about the application side of things, changing files and putting something on screen etc, then indeed go with Python or Ruby or something else. Those are perfect languages to learn programming itself as an abstract discipline and to do things with it. Sure, you can do all of that in C++ and nowadays you do have excellent tools that make C/C++ palatable. VScode is there and is free. Even CMake gets better all the time. But, working with C++ means knowing how the computer works. It means knowing what is "compiling" and "linking". It means using gdb and knowing what are "symbols" and how actual memory works. On the other hand, how computer works is an exciting subject by itself. So, if you want to learn how the computer works, do not doubt trying C/C++. One thing to add, C/C++ are genetically the languages of all modern computing. So, it is definitely worth to know how that works. Having said that, I personally would also recommend Nim as a "better C". But not for a beginner. Simply because it is still an experimental project with small audience.

You really don't want to be doing this sort of thing for much more than 5 years, it just isn't healthy.

This maybe the single best advise to give to new programmers out there, regardless of progtamming language. I remember an Mantra I gave to younger programmers in my time working for a large tech companies "when in doubt, run the code". I realised that a lot of them afraid of errors and always wanted to "get it right", but it getting them to a place where they move through the write code -> see error -> debug error -> write more code cycle pretty quickly that got better

Brilliant video. Informative. Advice for programmers: get a treadmill desk. Genuine comment. A sedentary job is deadly. Also it can be a high stress job so get on top of your stress. I had many breakdowns in this profession. Wishing you all the best.

over 100K a year and still no saving?? wtf? crazy

more videos pls (especially game dev using monogame/xna framework).

Great take man. Thank you. I'm a JS dev for 1.5 yrs and this really hit home. Been thinking of doing C just to get better at JS. Any way...cheers bro. Peace.

Just do it every day

I'm an absolute beginner who's been struggling keeping practice due to some mental health issues and life stress. I'm in a better place to start fresh, and I started with python but I found super frustrating and irrelevant to what I genuinely wanted to do which is game dev. So now I'm learning C++ and significantly more interested nad productive

I am surprised you use Windows. But to each his own I guess man, so more power to you buddy.

My problem with C++ is the push for "modern" idioms. The core language is really great, but nowadays it's bloated to death with L-R-X-GL-PR-MEME-values and manages to have some of the least concise, ugly, hard to grok syntax out there. C isn't perfect with ugly syntax as well, but the number of rules to remember is so small that you could put it down on a napkin cheatsheet until you get used to it. I've been using C++ for maybe 5 years or so now and still all the time need to pull up cppreference to try and figure out things I'm doing wrong (looking at you variadic function templates), yet I never have this issue with C. Yes C is more restrictive and in some ways less expressive, but C++ seems to me like it's been getting more and more bloated just for the sake of Bjarne Starsoup to sell more books.

I've only been programming for 10 years and I totally agree with you.

Only game and simulation development. You can make Tools for python .

I personally wouldn’t recommend starting programming with C++. This is what I tried doing, and I couldn’t understand any of it. Even the concept of a variable was abstract to me. It all fell into place though when I started PHP. It’s much easier to understand basic concepts such as functions and variables when there is a very concrete use case: making websites, getting variables from the user input, and so on. With C++, where we have to simulate abstract use cases using the console before building a significant amount of hours, it’s much more difficult.

After 45 years , 98% of programmers are degraded to integrators, and has no idea what goes on behind the box. You are only an playball from the library owner they u will pay . Don't make Software where u has lost the handling, or you are only an integrator. and with out your handwork kit of c/c++ and asm , u are never up to come out from integrator slave. All hate you for your pain integration of dammed Buyed shit ..

MonoGames series please, I need to know to program in C# as a former C++ programmer.

În România se start programming at the age of 12 in C/C++. I coded my first C++ at the age of 12 on the blackboard, but at the age of 16, 15 years ago I wrote my first main.cpp
