Re: How did you learn to program?
hmm... a while back i wanted to program a videogame, so i picked up a copy of GameMaker. After you get by the drag and drop stuff, its syntax is very similar to C's, just without the confusing stuff like pointers and class definitions.
I then realized the limitations of an interpereted language and picked up a book on C++. much of the stuff that i read within it i only had a vague idea of- like pointers and data structures (those damned pointers). The only way i was actually able to solidify that information was via application- programming the robot.
by the end of last year i think that i learned all about programming that i would ever need to know for the PIC architecture... which is now why i am trying to solidify that information by teaching it.
now the next problem is to go back to windows programming... eek.
