Day 3

Time has gone by fast...
class was over too quickly
*SIGH*
I read the changes of c# from 2.0 --> April 2010 release
Anon delegate explained better... reduced code with lambda delegate
intro to LINQ

AND GUESS WHAT.... there was  like 10 page explains what is Pipeline programing


and ending with "THIS BOOK WILL NOT HELP YOU LEARN PIPELINE PROGRAMING -"
OpenGL vs DirextX
c# libraries stoped being updated DUE to XNA game studios
which stinks.. but you can still work with things...
learned bout how gfx card work, with shaders and how are they coded in there own language, they get coded on a lower language lv. then c++ but not as low as assembly but close enough there are many different type of those... WITH more confusing acronyms..

this book is quite interesting CONTAINS A LOT of info..
i am enjoying the read..


-  book code feeds me well..and today in c# language i learned

  • @ - tells compiler to not take things so seriously and ignore stuff..
  • Literals are Literals .. decimal rate = 0.4M  (forced decimal)
  • Converting classes is OK (system.convert.ToInt32()); easy conversions
  • Text Formatting
  • Arithmetic Operations same as all languages we learned java/vb
  • also strings are "immutable" -- they cant be changed -and are recreated (book re-stated this i remember this from school i think mr. c mentioned this before)

- READ NEW BOOK
- Learned
-parse-v-tryparse
Parse throws an exception if it cannot parse the value, whereas TryParse returns a bool indicating whether it succeeded.
- Learned NEW THINGS
-like generics and anon delegates

c# project continues nothing with results

tomorrow continue to learn the primitives

Day 1

Today October 25, 2010 locked inside a cold and dark room, i start my search to find THE KNOWLEDGE. From today on, code will not be spoon fead to me... So, I will have to do things on my own.
i am growing up and i am scared.
for today
I was given a decent c# book by Mr. C#  (i have not yet read it, but i plan to read it tomorrow at school and continue on from there)
... today = filler post
*rambles on*
