Many years back, a girl invited me to come to her place with offerings of food to teach her in the ways of programming. We both worked for a medical supply store, she did data entry, I wrote the software she slaved with. We hit it off and after a while I discovered she had tourettes and months later I was dumped via email. Karlos beware...  :-D


Are you sure it wasn't the C causing her to mouth off?  When she finally got sick of it, she sent you an email...

I think it shows that there are quite a number of programmers out there ready to help others. I for one use VC6 pro for work as needed to solve problems. I have only coded for the Amiga when I was taking c classes at school as at the time the Amiga was the only computer I had...  :-D

I wonder if a project could be setup to do some porting of something I use constantly. It is called wxWidgets. http://wxwidgets.org   It is a set of libraries that allows an easier way of creating windows, etc., cross platform. So any program code only needs to be made once and can be natively compiled for other platforms.

I would love to work on this, but do need help as I am not familiar with creating Amiga windows, requesters, etc.

The source for wxWidgets is free, and can be ported. Already as Linux and Windows, etc...

Anyone interested in helping?

Maybe this thread is popular because it features people arguing, put downs, egos, women, curry and mammogram links.

Or it could be the fascinating syntax indentation...

@NattyNoh
Was that a bizarre attempt at humour or are you just trying to get banned?

Sounds almost as much fun as going to your wonderful country to enjoy a nice traditional pharonic circumcision.

I noticed you changed your last post. You had said something like: "You realise he'll expect you to put out"

Put what out?

English might not be my first language but Im sure you arent using it properly.

"Putting out" refers to having sex.  He obviously wants to be banned from this website but realized he crossed the line and changed it.

I think you'll find Mel is also Muslim.

I don't know if this is useful or not...  It is not in the right forum but it fits the topic.

Programming Amiga book on Ebay

Old but cheap and maybe useful.

Not that it's really anybody's business but hers but I don't recall her saying that she is or not. Only that some of her family are.

That's easy, even without forgetting about C:

Watch closely....

C is the best procedural language bar none, C++ the best all round multiparadigm language and VB.net is soley the province of those unable to realise the aspiration of being real developers. Lastly, java, whilst being syntactically clean and nice is for workshy pseudo developers that are afraid of implementing absolutely anything for themselves or having to know the first thing about system level development.

:-P
