I've always wanted to be a programmer. I have the drive. And I'll admit it. I've wanted to give up at times. Cause I'm too ambitious for my own good xD. I always want to create something also. I know, that I need to quit letting my ambitious attitude and thinking get in my way. And Also because the things I want to do are like so hard, that when I look at examples of how they did it. It's really overwhelming(sp?) that it turns me away. I never thought that programming was going to be easy. But I didn't think it would be that hard either. I have the attitude to do it. And I have the drive. The only reason, that I didn't finish high school was because oh drinking and doing drugs and skipping. I was 18 in the 9th grade cause of my rebellious attitude and things in school. But if I really wanted to I could have made straight A's through school. But one other thing that limited it also was my inability to comprehend(sp?) things. I was what you would call a slow learner. But once I got the idea of things. I didn't really have much of that a problem with it unless I was away from that solution from a long time. Like when I was learning the Japanese language it took me awhile to pronounce the 'r' sound in it. And now I finally understood how to pronounce it and a few other things. But my lack of staying with it, because I rather be on a computer and talking to chicks and my friends. I don't pay attention to it. I really wanna learn it but I have a problem with one other thing is learning two things at once. I can't read a C++ book then later switch to reading a Japanese book without leaving the other one in the dust. I know that will be a big problem with computer programming is my inept ability to learning so much all at once without forgetting other things. Like the more I learn the more I forget others. In a way its like my memory is full and other to make room for new things, I must forget something to make the nescessary changes. V_V

The only thing I worry is if they would accept me after learning and knowing a certain language from yers from now. And the only problem, that really hinders my stability of a programmer is the lack of imagination to picking which type of program to make, etc...

Damn spammers xD. Take up valuable resources xD. j/k

Everything except scientific applications. Cause I'm not that well know with the major elite math knowledge. Since I've dropped out of high school and only have my ged. And don't have a degree in Computer Science.

I would love to do video game programming. And it be nice to actually do hardware and desktop. I have done some COM programming. I've done a basic console of MSN connecting to the server and signed on to it.

Tried learning assembly, gave me a headache trying to figure out which one to pick and looking for decent tutorials. And more so complicated writing xD

im not sure what you actually mean *feels n00bish*

I was wondering which language would be best to go for? C or C++ or C#. I don't have a problem learning either language. But I'm necessary have the hard option of picking one or the other. And I wonder which one would be better to go for. I have knowledge in both languages.

yes i know. But look how bare bones everything is. Look at how bad theres nothing showing you as a beginner, only intermediate to expert level

Quit posting the same question but with different termnology. Seen the same post in the ATL forum. But asking for ATL namespace.

gimme my whiskey. Seagon Canadian Whiskey the big bottle :D

who?

LMFAO that was so funny xD. But like I was saying and shit. They play fucking mind games out the ass. Like this chick I was falling for and all. We had it good and all. I told her I loved her and she said it back and shit. Then yesterday, she told me and stuff. I do love you. I love you as a friend. I only told you that because I wanted to make you stronger and shit. >_< What a bitch :wtf:

They are so much of a pain in the ass. When they tell you one thing. Then days later its a completely different story. And when you ponder on the problem. And you confort them with the truth. They act like there's no truth and don't wanna defend themselves. Cause they know they are in the wrong.

Can we please see some tutorials on teaching ATL from the beginning and not like that one thats in there that just teaches you basic C++ templates and classes. I think its called under the hood. Which is pretty much waste of space on this site for ATL. Please. I can't find any other tutorials for ATL except for the MSDN Reference which doesn't exactly help unless you know ATL.

I hate women

My friend says I need to have ATL knowledge before tackling WTL with COM. Know any good ATL tutorials. Cause I can't find any decent ones on here from start to finish,

I can't find any tutorials on implementing WTL with COM. I have no knowledge of ATL itself. No decent guides around and none on here.

I wanna create a screen scrapper for the web in WTL. But I'm having a hard time finding a class that will let me access a web url to do it. I know in C# theres WebRequest. and I was wondering how would I go about doing it?

I would like to learn COM to use in WTL. But I can't find no tutorials that are up to date for C++. :( And actually goes through it all. And not just skip around expecting you to know everything.
