A BUNCH OF PROGRAMMING STUFF THAT YOU MAY NEED AT

SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE

A LIST OF STUFF BY SOME PROGRAMMER SOMEWHERE

THE BASICS OF STUFF

Alright, so you put this PowerPoint on your computer to find out about programming stuff but really have no clue what’s going on because it’s programming and nobody ever understands programming for the simple reason that it is in fact programming. Hopefully this PowerPoint can help you. If you use it properly (it’s a fairly simple task) it will make your life a lot easier. This PowerPoint will provide you with links, tips, concepts, and the pinch of insanity you need to be a good programmer.

GENERAL TIPS

• Use comments while you learn. They might not seem important, but walk away from the program for a month and you’ll be clueless.

• Don’t use comments if you want job security. But we don’t have jobs so still use comments

• Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Programming is difficult and we were all noobs at one point so we know what it’s like.

• If you don’t get help, use forums.

• Oh, did I mention that you should USE ONLINE FORUMS?

• Always brush up on the basics and fundamentals. Practice clean structure and neat code.

THE (VISUAL) BASICS

If you are a Visual Basic programmer (programming 1 student) this section will be helpful for you. If you are not, you may find it helpful anyways. Visual Basic is considered an “easy language” so it’s a great place to start. But you may find that you get lost every now and then. You can reference online forums to get a little bit of knowledge or a quick fix. OR you can go to any of the included sites to find full lessons that are very helpful.

C++

int main(){

// Hooray, you’ve made it to C++

cout << “Good luck if you came from VB” << endl;

cout << “Don’t forget semicolons” << endl;

cout << “It’s a bit more difficult” << endl;

cout << “You’ll do fine” << endl;

cout << “Use the links to the right” << endl;

return 0;

}
