Where to go next
I've been learning c++ for about a year now and have a good grasp on everything up to classes and I'm working on pointers. I've made a bunch of command line programs and I just finished a little 2d game in Allegro. Where do you guys recommend I go from here to expand my knowledge? I'd like to start looking in to wireless networking. Can anyone recommend me some good libraries to get familiar with? Any advice is welcome. Where did you guys go?
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!
Networking FTW. Wireless and wired communication will look the same from a generic c++ programmer's perspective. Look at http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/ for everything you need to learn to create socket programs. If you need specific examples just send me a message and I'll drop some source your way.
Any communication programming is just plain cool, of course if you've made a game, I'd keep doing so and just keep getting better. Pointers and classes are essential to rapid game development in c++(or I suppose any language)
You can also go into sound, and operating system specific stuff. Life is good, just keep swimming in an curve biased in the direction of the sky and you're good!

Haha, thanks for the link. I'll start looking into it. I was also thinking about getting into 3d programming soon too but I'd like to browse around in other programming areas first. Thanks again.
