Programming Discussion Thread

[Shonumi]

Most of my programming knowledge came from the internet when I studied stuff myself. I have taken a few CS classes even though I majored in English; it helped to fill the necessary credit hours and some interdisciplinary studies. I remember taking the introductory C++ class. Most of it was redundant for me, but I did glean some useful things about pointers. Most of the time I'd just browse the internet. It was very structured though, if you couldn't keep up you were left behind, assignments were due every week. The staff offered plenty of help to be sure. The most memorable moment came when I visited a well know C programming board and saw one of the students asking for help (e.g. "here's my assignment, gimme code plz"). Thread got closed due to the board's homework rules (you at least need to show some effort/attempt to solve it before asking), though not before the student rage-quit when no one helped him/her.
