Two things I have learned since starting my projects is, I underestimate everything and in the process overestimate my capabilities. I finally got a very basic framework setup that is very much influenced by XNA. An excellent framework limited only by the fact that only two platforms can use it  (if even that). It will be mostly 2D, using C++ and SDL/OpenGL under the hood. After all this time of messing with SDL, now is when I’m getting the hang of it. I love how much you learn by doing.

Enough of this pointless post… Expect more detailed explanations soon about my experiences so far.

Finally getting a good understanding of my programming skills. Not as good as I thought they were. Might have something to do with C++… Only one way from here, up!

I haven’t used VB since version 6 back in 9th grade! Didn’t like it then so I never really gave it much attention. I would rather focus on C++/Java and a new comer C#. Man was that a mistake. At least I should have kept up with it.

I know, I know, LTTP. I have been learning VB.NET for a programming position that I came across online. They’re looking for VB.NET with C# in the near future. I love how easy it is to design the GUIs in no time. It’s weird, I knew VB could always do this… honestly I don’t remember why I didn’t like it back then. Maybe it was my programming teacher (she was awesome!) always saying how VB wasn’t “real” programming and that the school should teach C instead. Looking back I wish they did teach C but no big deal. I’d say 95% of the students in programming class where there because it was “easy”.

So… VB, I can definitely find a use for this. Even for nice and easy programs, nothing to serious. Games and such I’ll reserve for C++/C#. If it makes sense to.

Update: Pretty cool seeing this.
