Looking to start a 'Beginner' team, to help grow our skills and collab together.
I am just starting out in C++. I have basic programming logic. And was thinking that it would be fun, while I am learning C++ to have someone else that is also learning C++ that we can work together and help each other grow. With how easy it is to connect with people through the internet, I am sure there are some like minded individuals out there.
What I am looking for is
-someone to brainstorm with and work through problems that we encounter. I still use other resources, like forums, and articles, but a lot of what I find is, this is how it works, so there you go. It would be nice to have someone close to the other persons skill level and they can work it out together and get a true understanding of how it works.
-collaborate on mini projects and further our knowledge.
-just to have someone that is on the same level to 'talk programming' easily through a messaging service that has the same goals.
tl'dr I am looking for a coding buddy.
you can reply here, PM me, or email me at clandestinex337[at]gmail[dot]com
Cheers, hope to hear from someone.

Hi, I saw your post and thought your idea seems great. If you look through my previous posts you will notice the level I'm at in programming. Recently I bought a book on opengl but, to be honest, it was way too hard. So recently I've been trying to learn some sdl but I can only find limited resources. What about you? How old are you, why did you start C++ and what are your aims? :)
Could you please reply at my email address. adpad309@googlemail.com

Hi there, i think this would be a great idea and i myself am a beginner in the language myself (well i've been learning for a little while but still consider myself a beginner)
If you have skype i can talk on saturdays and help with any problem you may have (and possibly ask questions you may know answer to) my skype name is same as on this forum "SatsumaBenji".
If you don't have skype then check your email address and i'll send you an email simply saying i am SatsumaBenji so you have my address.
By the way you're profiles not accepting PMs, check your settings

adpad, from the looks of your few posts you seem to be about the same understanding as i am, and i too have just purchased an OpenGL book but found it a little overwhealming for now!
Me and you may be able to co-op quite well, have a look at my posts if you like, see what you think?

oh, mr. guestgulkan a little pessimistic are we old timmer. I am sure you've seen a couple of similar post in your 2.5k post journey ;)
haha jk, yea this is a long shot. I know a lot of project collabs or any collabs at all usually dissipate over time into nothing. I am just using this as a learning tool for the moment.
As for my coding knowledge, I come from the web. HTML, CSS, PHP. All the fun and colorful stuff that everyone knows is there. I wanted to dive deep down to the niddy griddy and learn how everything works, and then make my own stuff. I want to make a couple games with friends as a hobby. I own a franchise business, so I run that during the day and on all my free time I want to learn coding, with no expectations, but also no end in sight.
The book I am currently reading is Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days, which is surprisingly a really good book. I kind of question when people put learning something in a certain time frame. So I am reading that from cover to back, and the going to go through and do all the examples to get the hands on experience.
And I am 25/m/CA (pics on request j/k j/k)
If you guys think a little chat room would be good, we can set up an IRC room as the main war room something like #C++Tyro *shrug*

If you're being serious about it, I highly suggest skype, it allows collaboration easily amongst others. I used it for my beta testers when I was doing a small AHK program and it was easy to send and forget. also allows voice/video/text conferencing which is ideal, and you can still pm someone specifics if you don't want to clutter the chat.
I use skype mainly just to keep in touch with friends over the holidays or to keep in touch with long distance friends but between 2 people you can show your screen so the other can see what you mean if they're unclear, above 2 people you can still hold a conference call with a great connection to each other (depending on hosts connection).
I also use skype for multiplayer video recordings where me and a friend can both be in a recorded call (external app) and play the same game, it makes communication much easier and more interesting for viewers.
Skype is ideal for anything (apart from maybe sending files cos that's very slow!) :D
EDIT:
@clandest may i mention that you have a couple of sayings a little off...
such as "Nitty Gritty" and "Cover to Cover" (sorry i just found it a little entertaining)
And also I too try to avoid the books that make out it's an easy job (in so little time or "in easy steps" are always a con)
I am 16 and just left school hopefully to goto college soon, and i'm learning C++ from a book called "Beginning C++ through game programming". It's not strictly designed just for games but it explains how you might use certain function in parts of a game to make the language more understandable. It doesn't cover everything either but it covers all the core of the language and in Great Detail, it's really good.

I've got a pretty basic handle on C++ and want to learn everything I can about computers, so I'd be more than happy to work alongside anyone in the group. I don't know a lot of coding tricks and secrets, but I am very good with the coding logic. E-mail grex2595@yahoo.com if you want to see where this can go.

I used to use it for AHK and even 800KB EXEs would be downloaded instantly. Skype does greatly depend upon other participants' connections.
Well saying that skype isn't too bad but it's once you get above about 10mb you really notice it slow down.
I've not really sent small things through skype such as a simple text document so my apologies, i guess it should do fine for sending small projects.
And as for this project being a "long shot" i am currently teaching someone on skype on my own whenever we're both online. He's pretty much a total beginner and he's unable to purchase decent learning material (and there's not a lot of good, free tutorials online), so i said i'd be happy to help.
It's going well so far so why cant this be done on a larger scale, the more brains the better right??
@GRex what do you mean by you are good with coding logic?

I'd love to join that group! I'm a new member to this forums, and i just started doing c++ after basic java coding. I really dont know where to start, i can barely just write my own hello world program in c++ ;3.
Do you have skype? add me; silencemurder (sorry for the immature name xD)
oh well hope to talk to you soon!

You can find me on skype either through SatsumaBenji OR benjamin.james.fisher
@wiggertolsma & @clandest, a simple chat room on a certain URL would be a good idea but skype is just as good for now + you can have calls easily!

I am glad others are interested in connecting with each other, in easier ways of communication than forums.
We can have a chat room, that would be great if we idle/participate in when we can, something like #c++Tyro, but I think the ultimate way would be through something like skype, have a group of friends that are willing to help/be helped and we can just start a friendly circle of people wanting to learn.
I am going to download skype when I get home, you can add me at clandestinex337
@StasumaBenji
I just read your edit about the sayings that were off, haha yea, things just pop in my head and I just say them, I don't do to much research into the matter if its not important ;)
and the book I am reading doesn't make it seem like 'oh look this is easy, see a loop with int that counts up, now you mastered C++' its breaking down the syntax step by step and using examples, from that syntax so you can get a grasp of what it does, and they it adds on to what you learn. Its pretty well done I must say. I will defiantly look into that gaming book your talking about if you would recommend it.
cheers!

I tend to view the world in a way different from others, and I'm good at changing my perspective, so I'm pretty good at understanding the logic behind coding where others usually can't fathom what's happening. I'm also good at finding different approaches to the same problem that may or may not be "better".
In short, I just understand the way the computers think because I think in the same way. Of course there are those times when even I can't see an issue glaring me in the face.

@clandest Hey, I'm really interested in your group, I've got about 2 months of C++ practice using code::blocks and the book Beginning C++ through Game Programming (Michael Dawson). I'd love to learn more about C++ and other programming languages. plus, just making small applications would be great for experience. email is rubikscuber999@Gmail.com
