[QUOTE=Wickedgenius;22020693]Are there any sites than give a plain and simple set of differences between git and svn. I want to get into the idea of using repos as I think it would be good practice but I don't know which to go for and only have some experience with svn and none at all with git. I don't want anyone to try and explain (because of the ensuing war), just want a good site which explains them.[/QUOTE]
There's also [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_revision_control_software]Wikipedia's comparison[/url], but their comparison tables are usually difficult to read due to information overload. Still might be worth a look, in any case, as it compares more than just git\svn\mercurial.

Thanks.
I think git sounds nice and want to give it a go, from what I understand though it was made with linux in mind so are there any nice newbie Windows tutorials on using it, also is there a simple method for setting up a git server myself so I can play around a load before going and messing gitHub up :v:.
Got my ASCII picture generator working.
I can release if you want, but you can't change the character set or scale just yet; that stuff is hardcoded in. I'll add in a config file and then release :)
Don't forget to give Mercurial a look.
I wonder... Is there a site that list jobs with minimum experience? I mean how are you supposed to work up to requirements like
• 3+ years of commercial software development experience in Java or C#
If every job has requirements like that... How do you even start? Do internships count towards that?
If you start as a junior programmer, those don't particularly require experience, and then you become a senior programmer after experience.

mercurial's great until you start using binary data, and then it starts to freak the fuck out (It doesn't like large zip files).
[url=http://blog.extracheese.org/2010/05/why-i-switched-to-git-from-mercurial.html]This[/url] is a pretty unbiased post.
Why would you want to version binary data?

What about a good place to search for those kinds of jobs (either online/local)?
Also I am assuming the requirements are kinda lenient if you have a very solid resume?
I need to start working on mine :p.

Progress! I've got the polygon tool working, and added a simple freeze/unfreeze tool. Also, I've prettied up the drawing for the balls, so you can actually see them rolling now :haw:[/QUOTE]
Just out of interest how are you freezing them?
When I tried physics with love they would end up accumulating the force applied to them so I when I unfroze them it would fly off.

Internships do count towards it, you can even use time spent in class, experience is experience. In my computer networking class we we're told by a guy who hires network technicians that our time in class counts because we we're working on networks.
[QUOTE=turb_;22018773]There's nothing wrong with the default names. If I'm not manipulating a control from code, why should I even bother changing the name Visual Studio gives it?[/QUOTE]
pretty much every worthy programmer would say otherwise.

Not really.
I for one, can see this debate going somewhere interesting.
I can see it going somewhere else

You should really go to each specific company. I'm going to focus on Rockstar after I graduate, as it is just in Edinburgh, near where I live. Look at your desired places websites and see what they want.
I suppose you're right. There was nothing on there that required and actual written achievements, but it asked for an exceedingly good knowledge of maths and an extensive knowledge of C/C++. They will know if you are good at what they need, and of course a degree will often help I imagine.
[QUOTE=raccoon12;21887545]accelerated c++ is going to be recommended a lot[/QUOTE]
When you're done with that go get a book on the standard library, STL, and templates, and don't get cocky.

I have a hard enough time with class names. I don't need to spend extra time naming all the controls on my forms.
Also love refactor. If later I decide that something needs a specific name(or I come up with a better one) I can easily change it :D.
I'm doing something silly and I can't work out what.
I have a UserControl in one of my apps which displays quite a lot of data and is contained on the main window. I have a button on there which "Breaks Out" the control on to a new form so the user can resize it and see more of the information it contains.

It all works perfectly except the break out form won't dispose of itself after the UserControl moves back.
Here's the code I'm using:
-snip-
Fixed it - made the Break Out host form a class-level item and it works. It seems a bit shit though that you have to have it at that level and can't just create and dispose of it on the fly.
[QUOTE=r4nk_;22008579]Thanks guys :)
Heh, actually that's pidgin messenger and my team mates frantically messaging me. I had to download pidgin messenger literally 10 minutes before I made the video because normal msn was being a bitch and not sending half my messages which is the last fucking thing I needed.
Definitely agree with you about the sounds
Anyway here's the youtube embedded version of same video:

You could make this game so incredibly hectic. Like have multiple gravity changes, very quickly, with walls closing in... or something. Splosion Man was incredibly Hectic!

well, you don't need to name every label and shit like that. it's a good idea to name anything that involves user input. anyone who disagrees obviously doesn't have enough insight to realize the confusion that can arise when writing code.
Anyone here still using Winforms? I only stopped the other day; WPF seems better, if not a little more awkward.
