I'm thinking about learning C++.... should I learn C first?

AlejoLuc @AlejoLuc (7) • Argentina 2 Mar 09

I guess the title of the discussion says it all. I'm really interested in the C++ language, but I've heard that it's easier if you take a look at C first. What should I do?

omairabdullah I would recommend that you definitely learn C first for a little while till you are familiar enough to write simple programs in it and know about things like structures and pointers etc. Then start reading about C++. Though most introductory books on C++ have...

Books can be addictive

elitess @elitess (5070) • Ipswich, England 3 Mar 09

I must say that although i am young and i do like some games, if i find a book that i really love, i choose the book over any game. How about you, do you agree that books can be addictive ? [b]Ever started a book and...

omairabdullah I remember that when I read Jurassic Park by Micheal Crichton, I couldn't stop till I had completed. I hadn't seen the movie. I even made an excuse to miss school that day!

If God just is, why can't the world/universe just be as well?

ulalume @ulalume (713) • United States 3 Mar 09

I have been considering the common evolution vs. creationism debate, and I have been wondering. Why do religious people, when asked where did God come from, just accept that God just is (meaning: he does not come from anything but...

omairabdullah Evolution is not a belief, it is a 'scientific' theory that people say they accept as valid though its proofs are sketchy at best(imho). On the other hand, belief in God is exactly that - a belief. Which is why it is called faith. I don't see that could...

omairabdullah The main reason why some websites don't work on browsers other that IE is ActiveX controls. If some websites use ActiveX controls then they won't work on other browsers since no other browser supports them. However the number of such sites is diminishing and...

Cs 1.6 or Cs Source

1hamm3r @1hamm3r (180) • Norway 27 Feb 09

What do you prefer Cs 1.6 or Cs Source. I prefer to play Cs 1.6 because none of my friends play Cs Source and I find it much more fun to play with my friends. :) Cs Source has better graphic, but I still prefer Cs 1.6 :P Say your...

cs source

6 responses

omairabdullah CS 1.6 most definitely. For one, it supports older hardware so it will play on my computer better. Also CS Source is the same as CS 1.6 with better graphics and physics. The gameplay remains the same. Gameplay is the most important part of a game, not...

is ragging for fun??????????????????????????????????

waseem04068061 @waseem04068061 (41) • India 3 Feb 07

these days ragging is common in engg colleges students of first years are panicking to go out in the lunch times as they r getting ragged by their seniors should we support or try to eradicate ragging

shouldencourage or should not

1 response

omairabdullah Now that I am a senior, i think ragging should be allowed in moderation(guess what my view was last year:). When i was a junior, i was hardly ragged bcos the college was strict about it. So i find that i hardly know any of my seniors. Ragging helps break the...

omairabdullah I think it is strange that people actually believe in such stuff. Quit absurd to think that an email will get you good or bad luck(I think of this as a form of blackmail:)! But by the volume of chain mail i get from my friends, I find it surprising that so...

omairabdullah I have played Halo 1 (single player) and though i like it, i still think it isn't that good. The maps tend to get repetitive and sometimes you just get frustrated. i haven't played the multiplayer version yet, so i can't say how good that is. But still, i...

omairabdullah Hey man, Halo 3 will be released in 2007 but it is only for Xbox 360. A PC version MAY be released but it is unlikely. So unless you own an XBOX 360, you can't play it.

omairabdullah Yes, the Google toolbar for Internet Explorer checks spellings of stuff you type. Mozilla Firefox(a free and open source web browser) also has a builtin spellchecker. But the question is.....do people really care about the spelling of the stuff they post? Most...
