Hate it when dealing with people over this kind of thing. My mother is like this. "It's lost, I can't find it, the button isn't there, I can't see what you are talking about, it never arrived, it's gone missing"... inevitably turns into "oh right, over there, oh that one, oh I see I didn't look there"... RAGE :D

I was seriously worried about a lost phone. Lol I had my mom check the mailbox and my sister and dad went out to the store. Now my mom has hidden the package from her.


Sister: SHE HID IT FROM ME!!!!!! 8:06 PM
Me: Lol. Bwahaha 8:06 PM
Sister: What kind of brother are you? Hahaha I CAN'T FIND IT 8:07 PM
Me: ...if only you had checked the mailbox... 8:09 PM
Sister: Ugh!!!!! Mom is being so mean!! 8:13 PM

I'm going to start seriously learning OO C++ ahead of starting my IT diploma in Sept. Got a good book here. I already know OO Java but it's been a long time since I did any coding.

Try C# too. Very hot. I have a C# book I need to read but it all goes back to my problem focusing.

Yes I've thought of getting into C# as well. Thing with programming is once you get the OO concepts down every language becomes syntactical differences. But then there's this HUGE gap between being able to program simple OO code, maybe some simple games and such, and actually doing anything useful :p

I'm enrolled for a C course next semester, I think it's a waste of time. I took 10 weeks of Java, 8 weeks of C previously, and ended up actually learning more C in an afternoon at my friend's house than I did with weeks of formal courses.

C allows you to start coding right away but it's very low level. OO programming requires you to first learn a new way of thinking. The OO paradigm. Before actually doing any coding. It's a lot more initial investment but it's really how all modern coding is done and large projects just couldn't be done nowadays without OO desing.

I want to learn C first, then move to other languages. I believe in starting low/basic/simple, and then progressing.
