Code: Select all

// Week1.cpp Week 1 Assingment PRG 204
#include <iostream> //includes standard input/output stream library
#include <string>  //includes standard string library
#include <conio.h> //console input/output header 
using namespace std; //include standard namespace 


int main() //function to call integer value from return. entry point of executable program
{
	string name, address, phone, email; //declare variables used
	cout << "Enter your name: "; //prompts user for name
	getline(cin, name); //gets input for name
	cout << "Enter your address: "; //prompts user for address

	cout << "Email:" << email << endl; //outputs email address
	system("pause"); //pauses system after output
	return 0; //ends program
}
I just finished all my 100 level classes at Independence University last week with a 4.0 gpa.

Computer games don't affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music. Has anybody seen this princess I'm looking for?

its nice, clean, and commented :)
i prefer to use 4 spaces, not tabs ;)
would make it more readable for you, and others
but at all a nice small program :D

Death to whitespace, long live tabulations \o/
But tabulations are for identing, not for alignment.

I've never done it before but still found it kind of laughable. Me doing my "Hello World" program for the 10th time at least. I a wasn't ever a programmer but when I was kid on a commodore I wanted to be. Made a bunch of stupid little apps. Had my own desktop shell program for it I made over the years. (really only way to describe it.) I even made a cheesy program for something at a job once in Visual Basic back in 2000. It think that it helps that I've at least heard of most of the concepts that they have been teaching. I also have some familiarity with the syntax. I learned what a difference tabs and spaces make when I was messing around writing scripts for the cove here years ago. I don't like white space in my code. Why does notepad++ format my html with all this damn space...

Ah, dammit I've wrote a lot of useless programs in Visual Basic 6 when I was a teen. I've learned C quite late in my life.
I still have some html / javascript examples from 4th year of high school too.

Yeah, it's kinda funny. Do you enjoy coding? It's pretty boring for most people.

Coding is the inhuman process of translating a your will, your tasks and your frustration into a cold but colorful plastic machine while forced to sit for hours wondering why you fail or why that thing works when it shouldn't.
Enjoying or hating it is mainly due the reason that makes you waste your life in front of a computer.
Personally when I have to do it I don't even care if I fail when I share my failure while having fun with someone. (Liviobot is an example)
But when you study hard, strain your eyes in front of a monitor and finally you make something that works good you begin to hate it because you made it for someone that were supposed to pay you enough but it's earning more than you thanks to your effort. (The software and the hardware of some digital magnetic field logger used by medic personnel in the MRI division in some hospitals in Rome is another example way serious but tainted in my sweat and anger)

So... Do you enjoy coding?
To make it short is like making drugs. Seriously.
You have fun when you do with some friends despite you C the Python that Bash your patience for a wrong indentation but turns into a useless bot saying jokes and spinning on himself.
You hate it when you have to push some toxic Microsoft .NET C# down your veins up to your brain just to try to make a living with all the hassle and the responsibilities that came from your job.

I'd say it only boring if you failed to pick up interesting task. Just that. Coding something where you'll like result yourself, where you're curious if you can handle it or how it works, or result is useful and respected by people around is not anyhow boring to my taste. Also, leaving a small bit of self somewhere feels ... quite unusual, for example. Though I guess there're some humans who don't enjoy it - well, world is full of other interesting things to do. Try something else maybe? Different humans have different preferences after all.

In this "easy" times people got lots of stress and almost no satisfaction at all. Leaving some of you in what you do may be considered far from professional but is what amateurs usually do to keep up their ego (and sometimes bloating it too much). Another reason may be the fact that people install and uninstall crap
everyday and leaving a small trace of you is a desperate attempt to get some recognition in life.

I'd say...
1) Best thing amateur could achieve is to become a pro - while retaining fun, creativity and flexible mind of amateur. I've seen persuading examples how it works, being unique powerful combo. I'd say high-tech world going this direction. Why the hell one supposed to choose here?!
2) Yes, it's challenging. But life is boring without challenges.
3) Sure there is ego problem, old as world itself. It can play poor joke, one can end up fighting windmills. I'd say it makes sense to look around eventually, questioning own actions.
4) Personally, when I undertake a task I try hard to ensure I would learn few new things in process. It's a bit risky and sometimes screws things up. But once again, life is boring without this.
5) #define feature bug :P.
6) "do what you like and like what you do". Once again, I don't get why one should choose. It's much better when it's both.

You forgot the "no warranties" and "not liable to any damage arising from the use or misuse..." parts :P

Nice to see the positive input. I am actually enjoying learning this stuff. It's been a few months and I've been introduced to C# and asp.net as well. I know it's not a popular language here in the open source world but I'm really starting to like C# and asp.net. While I don't actually plan on contributing to the technical side of tmw it's nice to have a better understanding of the concepts. We the new projects I would have to learn to make content for them and that involves some scripting. Just being more comfortable with that type of work will help me in my planed contributions to tmw. I'll keep to the art for the most part. I like to do complete content packages under my singular vision. When I first did the cove I didn't just do the maps. I did the scripts for the npcs as well.
