How do you decide if you should take a project? Is this a difficult decision? You don't like the specs and don't believe in them. Why would you want to take this project? |

Current C++ IDE options: @Mikey Great to hear that then. I'll check it out. I miss Object Pascal a bit :) |

Cover Flow license issues? @Anna I'd ask you also to consider if this question should really be kept open. It's about IP law, not software development proper. It could be also a patent about a bikeshed, and the question would be the same. |

Cover Flow license issues? @Jerry Anyway, the question cannot be adequately answered without a patent attorney and, probably, without contacting Apple and asking about their IP licensing policy. |

Cover Flow license issues? Apple has a patent on it (patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/…). You might want to contact a lawyer for guidance and/or Apple for licensing. |

Current C++ IDE options:February 21th 2005 : Dev-C++ 5 Beta 9.2 (4.9.9.2) released !. The project is just dead, as far as I know. I hope you're not offended by this, but I would recommend you to edit your post and remove it. It's dead, it bundles an ancient gcc version. There are way, way better options than it out there. There's no reason to use it. |

Current C++ IDE options: Has Bloodshed being updated in the last few years? I though it was dead and being bundled with an ancient gcc version. |

How can an amateur programmer get past their boundaries when formal educational resources are not available? @biloon Where I went to study (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro), you could get an internship or a RA after the third semester. I don't know if this is an option to you, but I really advise you to. IMHO, you want a lot to learn and, without guidance, all this energy just ends up bouncing from knowledge area to knowledge area, without focus. I had the same problem. A boss and deadlines are the best thing to give one focus. Don't you have a faculty member that you like most? You can talk to he or she for guidance. Most professors will be really glad to meet a motivated student. |

Questions about what professional C++ programming is like +1 Really on the point. About the last paragraph, the first time I really took the time to read calmly a boost library I left the office with a really sad feeling: I didn't know C++ at all :( The Alexandrescu book was very nice in this respect, it's probably the greatest reference on how to write contemporary C++ code. |

Some things come with age and experience. Work habits (cooperating, organization, and so on) comes mostly from work experience itself than college and formal education, in my humble experience. If you're in college, look for a research assistentship or an internship. It might help you. |

On developing deep programming knowledge @Job Yes, I agree that source availability is not the (only) answer to this question (this is why I commented on it, not answered). I just believe that having source code available makes it easier to have a deeper understanding of a library/framework/so on. I agree with you that this particular example would be hard or impossible to find when debugging, even with the source at hand. Others might be more feasible. |
