Some people at dream.in are super coders and some here are fresh to the programming world, but obviously you guys each have a story so...

Tell me how you all got intrested in programming and describe a bit how it happened and where/what you studied + any random favorite moments for you?

How is this a rant about college?

[Amadeus]

I was working as a researcher in a physics lab (I was the mathematician), I needed some small programs to run numbers for me (the grunt work, as it were). Programming intrigued me. I got into it pretty heavily, left the lab, went back to school for Computer Engineering.

good point i forgot to add that you must talk about any colledge like things you did (hits head on table)

[William_Wilson]

not in college, university. I have liked programming and making computers do things since the C64 @ about age 7, now finishing my BCS, and hoping to get a real job.

i'm not, i don't know why i'm here

[Amadeus]

Because you're needed.

I'm still in school, getting destroyed by java but hoping to move to c++ soon, but I haven't seen a tutorial that takes you from the easiest thing in c++ to do to a little bit harder...please if your nice post a link to a tutorial...want to get that nice coding action going.

[William_Wilson]

what?

what is the easiest thing? The reason you haven't seen a tutorial on it, is because it is too vague and would require 15 pages of pure writting before even talking about code. Be specific and your problems are much more easily solved.

Something tells me you've heard that before...thanks man.

[eLliDKraM]

yeah they're in our resources if you've bothered to research anything about this website

[Sticky_Fingers]

I did look but got vastly confused along the way...it must be my extreem intelect that prevented me from finding it...or my absolute idiocy...cant tell which

[pasella]

Lol what did this guy do to get banned? He looks like a nuub!!

[Thorian]

never went to college in the traditional sense never needed to still make better then median for my salary range. All the benefits none of the student loans and better respect because I have to be better then everyone else because I clawed to get where I am.

And that is why I have a jump start on life that will take most college graduates 20 years to make up.
