The Programming Thread

Post by A Person »

Because it's stateless!

I made my first C++ program from scratch.

I've been reading A Tour of C++ by Bjarne Stroustroup and listening to some of his lectures and it seems that C++ is a lot less ugly when used correctly, for example the templates remind me of type classes in Haskell and the memory management seems cleaner and less complex than in plain C. :beer:

And... probably. I can either buy it through the UT system for $250 subscription a year or just use UTSA's Citrix access for free (which is what I end up doing because of the $$, even though I'd prefer the former).
