I am finishing my last semester as an undergrad in EECS at UC Berkeley.  I specialize in back end software, and scalable software solutions, with a deep familiarity in hadoop and hadoop technologies, as well as data analysis and machine learning techniques at these scalable levels.  I have a pretty strong algorithms and engineering background, but have an eye for design, especially if it requires scale.  I am capable of working fullstack if necessary, but front-end web-dev and mobile are notable weaknesses of mine. I don't think a repertoire of languages makes a programmer, but rather your ability to design, build, and solve complex tasks.  My primary environment is zsh/vim based powered by yadr with tons of personalization tweaks that make it as powerful as any IDE, for any platform or language.  I recently accepted a job offer as a Pipeline Engineer at Twitch, so as soon as this semester is over, I'll be starting over there, with a month break.  Any CS hopefuls or undergrads, feel free to PM me if you want to talk questions or next steps or applying for internships advice.

Setting up and Android Development environment with Eclipse on OS X was a bitch. The Java compiler kept pointing to the wrong JDK version and to solve it required hours of research just for it to work.

Can you not use android studio? It worked fine for me on OSX.  If I ever have to use an IDE, it is intellij anyway.

Android Studio did not came up to my mind at that time, was opting Eclipse cause thats what we're going to be using for the Android programming class next semester. Will check out Android Studio & Intellij! Thanks!

If you do happen to use android studio, use genymotion as your emulator, and get the android studio plugin for it.  The stock emulator for android studio is slow as hell, vs the genymotion emulator which is quite passable.

Man I love to code but lack any ideas... Anyone fancy working together on something with C#? 

 

multicore cpu interface?

I've also heard from others that genymotion is superior as well. I haven't tried it out myself since I work directly on devices but I'll definitely be checking it out next time I need an emulator.

well i dont know what aou are looking for but im currently wrking on my own versionof bomberman complete with graphics myde by a friend of mine who works at guerilla games as a graphics desgigner. already did it once in college but now im planning on going bigger and more complicated. im using xna. so if you want to i could use a second opinion and some help coding would also be apreciated

You could always get in on an open source project.

Anyone got web development ideas?

[Snorlax]

Hiya, LTT members

I know a few languages, so don't feel afraid to ever send me a PM if you need help. I currently study Computer Science (with Java as our main language.. woohoo). I know the following languages:

 

Web langs (PHP, HTML, Javascript, jQuery, and so on. No ASP)

Java

C# and Python to some extend

 

Basically that's it. Nothing major. If there is one thing I love, it's creating custom userscripts. I've made some very famous ones on another forum, and I've done it for probably two years or so.

 

Ever need a custom userscript? Message me

Any other graphics programmers around here?  I graduated two years ago, was employed as a AAA game dev for a year and a half, and since starting there have had the tutelage (hehe) of a senior graphics programmer.  Currently implementing my own voxel engine with deferred lighting, bloom, SSAO, etc.  Primary languages are Java and C++.

I am probably going to specialize as a graphics programmer. However I am still not 100% sure if I wanna do tools or graphics. At what game studio did you work at, and why did you quit?

I worked at SOE/Daybreak, and opted into the recent layoffs to deal with a health issue and pursue a personal project or two.

 

What's your background?  Do you have experience in either tools or graphics?  I might can help shed a little light on those for you

I am currently studying Game Programming at NHTV Breda, I am in the second year. So far I have made a path tracer, software rasterizer and OpenGL thing, graphics programming wise. Right now we are doing DirectX 11. I don't have a lot of experience writing tools, but the GUI course we got, where we had to make a parser and stuff was pretty cool.

Right now I really enjoy graphics programming, but I heard that there aren't a lot of jobs available in that area. However I heard there are tons of jobs in tools. I don't enjoy Gameplay programming as much as the other two. We also just started an audio programming course, and I wonder what that's going to be like (so far we loaded a .wav file).

We also did something called gamelab, where we build a game in a team of about 10 people (designers, programmers and artists) in 14 weeks (1 day a week). I have finished three of those projects in Unity 4, and I am currently working on a project in the PhyreEngine.

 

Next year they are going to change up the whole study to a project based thing, where we get to choose our own projects. However I still don't really have the details about that.

One thing I really want to do next year is build an engine with a team of programmers. 

I would really like to know what graphics programming in the industry is actually like. Right now with the graphics programming courses we focused purely on getting stuff to render (usually in a hacky way) using those API's, and I am pretty sure that it's not like that in the actual industry. What did you spent most time on on an average day as a graphics programmer? Was it mostly architecture stuff, was it optimizations, or was it a little bit of everything. Also, when you were working, did you just work together with other graphics programmers, or did you work together with all sorts of programmers. I would love to hear what it's like from someone who got out of the industry so recently.

Allright, thought I'd just as well say hi here aswell, seeing as this will problably become the subforum where I spend the most time .

 

I'm 17 for a few final months. 1st year IT systems specialist student at a vocational education school. Started programming at around 2009, with the awful piece of software, that Game Maker then was. Currently I know the following list of languages, most to least known:

 

• Java
• JavaScript
• HTML5
• CSS3
• PHP
• LUA
• C
• C++
• Python.

My choice of IDE is Atom for everything that is not Java and IntelliJ for Java development. 

 

My biggest project is linked in the signature.

And now, to reply to the post above. I'd like to help, but it's impossible to do so right now. Please be more specific. You also seem to not understand the meaning of closing 

</xXx>

tags, where xXx is the tag name. Also, when posting, please separate the CSS from the HTML. Makes it easier to read. I reccommend watching trough this series and trying this, both really good sources of information. Also, try http://codeacademy.com - never used it myself, but I've heard it's pretty good.

Hello guys im new in programming currently

learning c++

[Phinocio]

 

Newbie here

 

How to make class "box" independent of "name"?

-snip-

 

Is that your full code? It doesn't appear you are closing your <div> tags so they won't work properly. Try adding </div> where they should end and see if that fixes it. 

[EricH]

I'm Eric, I am currently taking Information Systems Security. I am kinda new to the programming world. I would like to know what kinds of programming languages I should learn in order to infultration testing and other types of languages that do different stuff.

 

I have learned some JavaScript, as well as HTML 5 and CSS.

 

I am interested in possibly learning Ruby or Python. If you have a preference or know of one that may be more interesting to learn let me know.

 

I am also interested in learning some editing software. I know of XCode and Code Runner for MAC. Note ++, Aptana Studios and Eclipse for Windows.

[Quooston]

I got M$ MCSD certified in 1999 after a diploma, so I started on VB6 building web based "distributed" financial systems back then. After that I went straight into .Net and C# and have never looked back. These days it's all web development on ASP.Net MVC, lots and lots of JavaScript (Angular et al) and still lots of distributed back ends; all in C#. Currently building stuff used in pathology labs to assist in the diagnosis on cancer and other diseases.

[TonyStark]

Hello all, I'm Tony, a programmer and an entrepreneur in mixing technology, science and computer code together. I've been writing code for some years now, but I was always fascinated with the way that someone can exceed expectations and push the limits to a greater extent. Besides my company I also cooperate with airline software developers allowing people to travel faster and safer. I use Microsoft .NET, XCode for my Mac projects, Android studio and Embarcadero Delphi.

[hazza_ob]

ok, im pretty new to programming. I have started with some PHP, which I like, as it does what i need for now. Im decent at it, but I now want to learn C++, which is a much more powerful language.

just buy an arduino along with the starter kit. it works for both basic programs and more advanced ones. Then try setting challenges like building an automatic plant waterer with sensors n shit. after you're confident with code attempt drones or robots - all possible

[rishirana]

Hey Guys, my name is Rishbh, or Rishi, I am a 3rd year computer science student in Nj, US. Ive been in love with technology and computers for as long as I can remember, so I took up programming. I consider it an art to make the computer do what you want and how you want it done. Currently I am learning Java in school, and outside Ive had experience with HTML5, CSS, iOS Development, C, and other bits, never really took interest in .NET or SAP or programs of that nature. Ive been wanting to get into it, but don't really know where to start. Feel like I am missing so much yet I have learned so much. Started watching Linus on youtube back in 2013 and finally became a part of the forum.
