I've started a new project while I learn C++ to post about what I've learnt, what problems I came across and how I went about them. It's my hope to help fellow beginners with the problems I face and to help them overcome them. I'm trying

I found this poem which describes how my problem feels. ---- I am like a toolbox, with all the tools I will ever need lain gently and neatly in the box, ready for me to use them. The toolbox is translucent so I can see them there. The key t

This is fantastic advice, I have tried Euler in the past and struggled on the first question haha. I think when things pick-up from the basics of variables, classes, objects etc, that's where I start going wrong. I know about the mechanic

That's just it! I understand that solution perfectly, it just doesn't seem to sink in/work for me. I've been doing 10 years worth of basics and still can't progress.

I realize that you cannot learn Mandarin over night, as with programming. However, surely after 10 years worth of basics, I should have progressed further than I have.

I have always considered that when I hit this point of frustration that I'm talking about. It feels like it's the only variable I've not taken into account.

I suppose the largest things I've done is a meme website in PHP which displays an image, forward and back, and a random button, and an upload script; all integrated into MySQL. A football game in Pascal which uses 1 2 3 as user input, and

I agree with this. I cannot explain why I want to. It has something that I've craved to do my entire life, I cannot put into words or explain why, the hunger I feel to code. I feel very drawn to it and it is extremely appealing. That is

I'm in the UK, and it's something that needs to be done today, I don't have time to order adapters. Also, like I said, I use the molex PSU, which is fine. The SATA is tempermental, hence why I'm not using it.

800W PSUs. Would it actually power the drive without being directly into the mobo first?

Thanks for the replies guys. I don't think they're quite what I'm looking for. I'd like the features of time tracking, just not paying a fee for it since it's not for business.

What? lol. Correct me if I'm wrong, it's only what I read. A fool who asks questions is a fool for 5 minutes, a fool who doesn't is a fool forever!

Hey Zed! I made a start on your Learn C The Hard Way but after reading several comparisons I believe C++ is better to learn without learning C first. And I believe C isn't a very strong language. No chance of you starting a C++ one? :D

I'm learning to code, and I just find it easier to follow a project rather than reading page after page of theory.

Probably the latter. A friend of mine was sort of encouraging me with ideas and he bugged me to add a comments box to each image so people could add and read comments. I failed at that after days of attempting it. I also wanted titles ab

Well I sort of get 'writers block'. For example I set out learning PHP a few months ago and created a meme site which would store image locations in MySQL, pull them out in ascending order and have arrow buttons to flick between the images
