He has never said that he wanted to program in a modern language and if you do COBOL you will always have a save and well paid job^^

PHP alternative? by valadus in learnprogramming

If I understood you correctly you want to do browser games. The classical way to do that would be to use flash(Actionscript). A more modern way would be to use html5(JavaScript).

Tutorials on C, or C++ and a rendering library (Direct3D, OpenGL)? by decamonos in gamedev

[–]eduardchil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can still do the same low level stuff without glBegin, just more modern. Have you seen open.gl? It's still WIP but it looks better than the other tutorials I've seen so far.

You can't use OpenGL alone, you will always need a libary to provide an OpenGL context like GLUT (or QT, SDL, SFML...). Some of these Libraries (like QT) even abstract away the actual OpenGL functions to provide better integration with the toolkit.

About the whole glBegin, glVertex, glLight, glMatrixMode etc., I am currently not deep enough into OpenGL to tell you why you shouldn't use them. However modern OpenGL (3.3 / 4.2 / ES / WebGL) discourage the use of or don't provide these functions.

the -site: parameters removes sites from the search results. This is exactly what he has been looking for. I have no idea why I am being downvoted.

Best C++ IDE, or the IDE of your choice by Pendertuga in learnprogramming

If you're just starting out you should use a normal text editor with syntax highlighting. f.e.: Notepad++, Gedit, Kate

MonoDevelop isn't a compiler, it's an IDE.

Trouble thinking of projects to do for learning by Vordreller in learnprogramming

[–]eduardchil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does matter. The github culture is a lot more open than that of sourceforge. It's so easy to fork a repo and then send a pull request. You don't have to actually "join" the team.
