Hello:Thanks for your advice, though a console based game doesn't really get me out of that domain, and I honestly can't think of where that would apply. I want to work on projects that I can show as part of my portfolio, and I've already got a text-based game.

Hi,I think some console games would be a good starting point - or, if you wish, perhaps writing some online tutorial on cpp would be nice too. I personally plan to finish the cpp tutorial I've started on my blog and go onto data structures and perhaps write some console-based data structs emulators for tutorial purposes. As for web development or other things, if you have Xroid or other smartphones with you, I think writing programs for phones would be good (that's my intention too later).Cheers, Joseph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Littlefield, Tyler" <tyler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date sent: Tue, 17 May 2011 15:48:59 -0600 Subject: Real-world coding examples? Hello all: While I have 3 months or so off, I wanted to learn as much as I could during that time. I know I'm fairly good with c++, and my skills are so-so in python, but I want to start working out of the domain of mud development. I'm pretty good at figureing things out and adding new features and the like, but I really highly doubt I'm going to make my living as a mud developer. So, I have a couple of questions. I want to get into web development more, c#, and more. What is most used? What kinds of problems/programs are people being hired to work on? I know that's a rather broad question, I'm just trying to find some sort of starting point that I can keep learning more, so I'm not totally clueless. -- Take care, Ty my website: http://tds-solutions.net my blog: http://tds-solutions.net/blog skype: st8amnd127밣rogrammers are in a race with the Universe to create bigger and better idiot-proof programs, while the Universe is trying to create bigger and betteridiots.
