I've been looking at getting back into some coding. Haven't done any C/C++ for, well, a long time... since my algorithyms and data structures subject at uni, which was a bout 1+ ago. I've done some PHP since, but even that was 7+ months ago... The most recent i've done is Java 4+ months ago and Javascript 2+ months ago...
Any Ideas about how to get back into the swing of things and maybe re-learn a lot of stuff. I was thinking of porting the DOM to AROS. But thats a pretty big task, and not only would i have to learn C/C++ and get used to it, but also understand IDL and the mapping to C++. It took me several hours or days to work out the C++ mapping of a sequence and "port" the idl deffinition to C++. What a pain. I think i may just use a compiler instead next time..
Anyway, i thought the best way might be to port some simple or complex applications to AROS. Such as xpat? Which if i was to write the DOM, it would sit ontop of it. Has Xpat been ported to AROS?
I was thinking that porting may be a little less difficult in comparison to writing a program from scratch. Any ideas would be welcome on how to get back into C/C++ coding.

I was going to reply to it there, but i asked a lot of questions and thought it'd screw the thread up and take it somewhere the original poster didnt want it to go. Also, AW doesnt have any topics that cover my questions. Neither does AO but i though AROS dev was close enough
Also, on a side note, i've been getting buffer overflows on every contrib program in AROS. At least everyone i tried, except for the chess game which didnt do anything. I dont believe this woudl have anything to do with the problems the AROS team where having with the nightlys would it? Also, could this have something to do with the stack - im guess it could be, but i didnt know how to enlarge it... havnt looked into it yet?
