Re: Books/other stuff for new programmers
Game Programming Patterns - Robert Nystrom. This book is kind of like the famous Design Patterns book by the Gang of Four (I'm told). It provides solid examples of software design patterns and some optimizations used in the games industry. It's a fun book to read, often making you laugh as it (imo)...

Re: Books/other stuff for new programmers
Also, some of my recommendations: Elements of Computing Systems - Nisan and Shocken. Excellent book on computer architecture. By doing the projects at the end of each chapter, you are building a computer system from the ground up. It should be taught at every CS program imho. It's also mentioned abo...

Re: Books/other stuff for new programmers
I have noticed that there are a TON of companies which offer internships. They are looking for young students or graduates with little to no job experience. I have applied to Riot Games (They make League of Legends), Naughty Dog, Square Enix, JAGEX (RuneScape) are hiring right now, Rockstar Games, ...

Re: Did Any Of You Guys Felt Like Noobs When You Started?
Yeah I agree with everything you say dude but unfortunately, when you apply for a job, not having a degree poses a bit of a problem (again not saying I agree with this, heck if it were up to me, I'd hire people WITHOUT diplomas). Although I think if I showed up in a job interview and told them about...

Re: Did Any Of You Guys Felt Like Noobs When You Started?
I've read a nice blog post. It's about higher education I find that post utter rubbish. I loath mandatory education including universities and their courses and similar crap. I've been studying for SIX years (transferred to new university and major) and believe me NO ONE loathes mandatory education...

Re: Circular Class Dependency
Thorough answer, thanks. I need to do some research on font rendering (actually 2D in general). I knew I had to implement some sort of text rendering, at the very least for debugging purposes. I was getting sick of OutputDebugWindow(). I'll take a crack at it after I implement the most fundamental s...

Re: Circular Class Dependency
Man that guy is going to be upset, hehe. What guy :D Btw, do you use steam or is there any other way to bother you that is faster than forums. I may have some questions related to your framework (currently I have one: What exactly do you use D2D for? From what I can see over a quick review is that ...
