What do you do on the internet?

[Deep]

Title says everything, What do you do on the internet.

For me, I love techs, so, what I actually do is watch videos, read about tech stuff. (mobile phones and laptop particularly).
I also like games, so I see game-play videos, as I can't play those high games on my laptop. Which is: 2 GB Ram, Intel Celeron B815 1.6 GHz, Intel HD integrated graphics. Anyway, back to the topic, I also like editing/animating, so I use Flash, After Effects and planning to use Premiere Pro to upload edited videos on youtube.
I also manage a channel named Little Fighter Videos, so please tell me if its good or not: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPSPfiR...oJ2Rxmxj1w (please subscribe, :P)

I think I'm also gonna post the next chapter story, and ask if that's good.

So, I basically spend most of the time on youtube.

Sorry, I don't know to stick to the topic, so I sometimes go off-track. :P

-Thanks, Deep.

watch tutorials for Cprogramming

Cprogramming

C

Y NO C++?

On-topic:
I have been watching a lot of conference talks lately, namely from CppCon, GoingNative, Meeting C++, but sometimes also other conferences.

Because you can't expect someone to learn C++ before actually learning fundamental programming concepts in C (and learning C is no different than learning C++ without OOP anyway). Most universities don't even teach C++ they first go with C and when the time comes to OOP they teach it via Java or something easier than C++'s OOP (at least in my country). I usually respect C++ devs but it has it's own pros and cons, a good programmer should know what language/framework to use in different situations and if efficiency is not the primary concern, I think it don't worth the trouble.

Back to topic:
There are few web sites (other than LFE) I'm checking time to time;
Blender Guru - cg artist wonderland
D Programming Language Official Website - usual developer things
9gag - why so serious

Another thing I like to do on the internet is discuss: (Click to View)

Because you can't expect someone to learn C++ before actually learning fundamental programming concepts in C (and learning C is no different than learning C++ without OOP anyway).

Which fundamental programming concepts are you talking about? I see no reason to learn C over C++ when you are starting out learning, heck I see no reason to C over C# or Java.
I have defended C++ for not actually being a difficult language to learn, but I cannot do the same for C, as it simply is a harder language to start out with than necessary.

Take for example a program which reads a string from stdin until it encounters an EOF, then reverses the string, and finally prints it to stdout.
In C this would require manual memory management and probably also pointer arithmetic both of which are completely unnecessary for such a simple project, and not something a new programmer should have to worry about.
In C++ (as well as C# and Java) on the other hand you can use string classes which handle handle the memory management for you, and give you a much more reasonable way to work with strings.
Reversing is available in C++ simply by calling the reverse algorithm, so there is no need for pointer arithmetic either.

Here is a list of C++ features that C does not have:
C++ also offers a stricter type system, namespaces so you can structure your code properly, templates, so you can write generic code, without the use of macros as well as member functions.

All of that is useful even if you are not using object oriented programming, which to be honest I rarely am anyway.

Most universities don't even teach C++ they first go with C and when the time comes to OOP they teach it via Java or something easier than C++'s OOP (at least in my country).

That seems really silly. Like if they want to start out without object-oriented programming then fine, but if they then later want to teach it, then having to switch to a different language is a bit silly.
It seems to make more sense to just start out with Java, as that is still a reasonable place to start out.

I usually respect C++ devs but it has it's own pros and cons, a good programmer should know what language/framework to use in different situations and if efficiency is not the primary concern, I think it don't worth the trouble.

I completely agree with everything up to "and if efficiency is not the primary concern". I mainly program in C++, not because it magically produces faster code (because it does not).
Instead I do it because it allows me to write code in a way that is more natural to me. I write code faster and better than in languages like Java and C#, because I am more familiar with the language, and it fits my style more.
I still do not see why anyone would pick C for anything except for maybe the lack of a C++ compiler and possibly interop with other languages. Especially someone starting out with programming should pick ANYTHING different from C.
and brainfuck, assembly, hardcoding machine code etc.

@Deep below: If you ever are interested in learning how to program there is usually a few people like me and MangaD on IRC.

Similar to mine except the 2nd one. (oh man, everyone does programming )

that seems like some awesome interests.

You are me.

No similar interests as Someone Else's, cause of programming

I usually check a bunch of different forums. A few for miniatures painting, some for RPGs, a few general tech and computer forums. On top of that, a bunch of Facebook, e-mail, Skype and such. Oh, and accidentally falling into Wikipedia holes, of course. Then there's the whole watching videos on YouTube and Netflix too.


Oh, and I'd like to add to the discussion on programming. At my uni, there are several programming courses you're expected to take during your first year. The basic course, which is really simple if you've got any experience, does this in Python since it's very "readable" even if you aren't experienced. Most of it is pretty self-explanatory. Second course, which deals with OOP, is in Java. It's not that hard, only that the last projects can get really fiddly to get right. But I digress. Two courses focusing on microprocessors and very low-level stuff do first pure binary MIPS instructions followed by Assembler and C. At this point you basically start focusing, so either learn more C for more low-level stuff with microcontrollers and so on or learn desktop programming and/or web development.

I remember my prof saying that the reason why they change language is specifically so you don't get too comfortable in a single one. They argue that knowing a language is one thing, knowing how to program is a much deeper knowledge, which I tend to agree on. You learn paradigms and methods for a reason. Also, I believe that if you're starting out at programming, and you literally know nothing about it, Python is a good start.

Thanks @SirFrog , It was a bunch of help in a single post, it may encourage me to start learning to program, who knows?
