DCOM Productions Student Program
Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2006 5:30 pm
Found this on another forum I frequent. I will be signing up as I think it would be a very good experience and a way to get into C style programming. Its a free classroom style learning enviroment that he will be running on his forums. It sounds like a new assignment or class will be posted every week. Students learn the lesson and then can post questions in the forum.
Sounds promising, here's what he posted:
I think this would be a great opportunity for a lot of individuals who are looking for an in.

For the last week or so I have been planning to start a student program where people can sign up and learn a programming language. Before I do anything I am collecting data from various locations to see how many people would be interested in a student program like this. Some of what I plan to teach depends on what language the people would like to learn, but I was also thinking about doing this one language at a time. (For example, I would teach a C# class for a month or so then switch over to C++, then on to Visual Basic, etc.) Doing multiple languages at the same time will most likely be a headache.
Some of what I plan to teach:
*The basics of the programming language
*Working with consoles
*Working with Windows Forms (GUI programming)
*Windows API's
*Interacting with Windows
*More when I can think of it...
What I plan to cover:
*C# (CSharp)
*C++ 8.0
*Visual Basic
As I said right now I am just collecting data to get some numbers of how many people may be interested in this kind of thing. If you are interested please drop by the Official DCOM Productions Forums, register and post that you are interested, ask any questions or concerns you may have, etc.

EDIT: When you get to the main page about this student program, (second link), don't forget to take the poll question that I added so I can add that information to my database. Also, if you choose "Other" please state what other language you wish to learn in your post.
I will probably even have a poll so I can see which languages will be most likely prefered in this student program. I plan to set aside a few weeks to gather the information I need to get this thing going. If you have any questions please redirect yourself to the links I posted above. I will most likely not answer in this topic much because this is posted in many forums and I don't have time to check every single one.
Thank you,
