Which programming skills do I need to know to program something like an Internet casino (in C/C++ or C#)?

I don't gamble online, but I'm interested in learning the technologies, knowledge and skills required to make a network applications like chats, online video grames, netmeeting and the like.


I'm an autodidact and already know C/C++, C# and Java but I've done little programs so far, now I want to apply it to some interest project.





Which progamming language is better?


Online tutorials and resources.


Books.


Web sites and online communities.


Learning path.





Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I've found learning by doing a great way to study programming. In other words write something small, then build on what you learned. Here, I'd start with just a web site that permits sign-ups but provides no serivces. That's difficult enough to implement for starters.





C/C++ are overkill for what you're talking about. C# and Java are more appropriate. If you want a highly reliable and secure system you probably want to use Linux which largely excludes C#.





This leaves you with Java which is a common choice for implementing online systems.





Another option is Python (my personal favorite), which - together with mod_python for Apache - provides great performance and may be all you need.





For a database back-end you'll want PostgreSQL (free) or mySQL (commercial license).





For the actual user front end you'll most likely want to use Flash, which is an entire development environment of its own.





You can find online tutorials for all of the above on Google.

blender 3d has a built in game engine and its free. but it uses python for scripting though.
Reply:I can't help you with free, but check out Amazon and you'll find a book called "Game Programming for Teens" which may fit the bill. They have demo software packages that will help.

I have decided to go with C+ programing, but what stuff do I need for it?

I want to make a game that works on windows or some sort of program so I decided to learn C+, but I am a complete beginner. I don't know any thing about programing. I need to know what stuff( that I can get for free) I need and what tutorials( that I can get for free) for beginners there are.

is called C++, and if it is your first programing language, you should know that it requires some patience to get the idea...


tutorials?


you could just type c++ tutorial in google, there are TONS of them, here is one

a compiler and a "program" to write your code in: Dev C++, is pretty simple and easy to use:

Reply:trust me, it will take you a good long while before you can be game programming in c++





and c++ is not generally recomended as a first language, nor is windows programming





freecomputerbooks.com is good for stuff to read, ruby.com is a great place to learn a useful language good for starting, google.com is a great place to find everything, dev c++ is a great c++ compiler, and microsoft visual c++ can be useful at times also





so many pple think they will start programming becuz it seems like itd be cool to make games and then they try and cant get it and quit, but good luck anyways lol
Reply:You need a compiler. I strongly recommend Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Or you can use gcc or Dev C++.





Also, it is better to go to a bookstore and pick a good book to practice your programming with. Some good books are "Learning how to program in C++" by deitel or "C++ Primer."
Reply:you can try Robert Lafore's book on C++ it is very easy. Of course a TC++/BC++ compiler VC++ also fine.

see if that helps
Reply:firmware is like tuna.. it has an expiration date.


you could install devhook, but it would only emulate up to 3.11 so its pretty much pointless.


update to 3.52m33.


because you are on an oe firmware, you need to run the m33 creator pack first..


the site where i have posted my firmware guide is down for maintenance, but heres the link: http://www.pspmod.com/forums/custom-firm...

Visual Basic 2005/2008 (VB.NET) OR C#.NET?

I am looking to get into programming. I am proficient with HTML, PHP, and Flash. Which of these languages should I choose, VB.NET OR C#.NET? I need a language with a .NET framework, I will be using Visual Studio as my IDE. I am a beginner and do not know much, but I do have access to video tutorials.





Which of these languages is easier to learn? (VB.NET?)


Which is more flexible and used more often? (C#.NET?)


Which has more demand for and growing?





Thanks for any helpful advice! Happy Holidays!

Visual Basic 2005/2008 (VB.NET) OR C#.NET?
I would consider VB.NET easier to learn because it is more like English, but C# is more like most programming languages in terms of syntax and structure.





You can find plenty of work in either.

Reply:C#. Even Microsoft has stated than many VB programmers are moving to C# (40% last year by one account.)





If you have some experience in Javascript and Flash Actionscript, you will be more comfortable with C#, which has similar syntax.
Reply:definitely C#, I used to be a PHP programmer too, and VB is just too different, I would recommend VB if you used Pascal / Delphi before





Btw... not that it really matter anyway, if u use C#, VS provide tools to convert a C# syntax to VB in no time, vice versa
