C and C++ Programming
« on: January 25, 2018, 07:40:51 PM »
Hello.
I am interested in how some one could study C or C++ programming and then make there way into OpenGL.
There are a lot of books on the subject and maybe if there is enough input a list could be made to help folks get into programming for Amiga, AOS4, Aros, etc.

What do you think?
Is taking a class at a college better, would not hurt?

WOW, this post brings back a lot of memories...

30+ years ago, I was in the same position, I wanted to learn Basic and more important, I wanted to learn C.  WHY? Because I wanted to write software for the Amiga!   This eventually lead to very long career in IT.

This is the honest truth, I learned C through reading example code and compiling the examples in the Amiga RKM.  Ah, the good old days...

Sorry, I can't be more help...THANKS for the trip down memory lane! :-)

Then RKRM for classics and wiki.amigaos.net for 4.x, os4coding.net for help.

You are welcome, and thanks for the information.
I wish I had gotten that two year degree in game programming when I had the chance.

I hear that! I am also wanting to learn C so I could write programs for the Amiga. I have the books and software now I just need to make the time to get started.

I hope that I can find out how many developers are writing code for each OS.
Amiga:
OS4 and 68K.
MorphOS:

Aros:
68K and I386.
Also ARM and PPC.

It can't hurt to read this:

C++ is a bit crappy on AmigaOS, but C is beautifully integrated into the OS

Thanks.
So what are the reasons why one would not want to program for the above Systems?
Return On Investment sounds like the foundation to program for any platform.
There are definitely plenty of systems one could choose.
Lack of hardware is not as big of a problem as it once was since there are emulators available.

What can I add?
