I know most people would just tell me to use online sources to teach myself to program because they're free but there is just something about a book that I find easier to learn from. I was wondering if if someone could give me a list of books that would take me from beginner to advanced in C#.

I was thinking about these books in this order.
1) Learn C# in One Day and Learn It Well. By Jamie Chan

2) Mastering C# (C Sharp Programming): A Step by Step Guide for the Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced User by Michael B. White

3) C# in Depth by Jon Skeet

We used the Wrox book "C# for professionals" back when I took my CS education in the .NET 4.0 days... contrary to the name, it starts off pretty simplistic, but showed off some great tricks with Visual Studio also.

Back then, I bought the entire box with the aforementioned book, along with a programmer's reference and a few books with design guidelines... mainly because the box set only cost a little bit more than the book alone. Pretty decent books to have even now, whether for reading or for quick reference. I still use mine sometimes for reference in building new projects.

My tip for any language is to try to get hold of one or more programmer's refence books... They often have good "recipes" for certain types of projects and can help you analyze and dissect more advanced problems. They may also contain quick references for various libraries and commands and are really good for helping in designing programs from scratch.
Also, as mentioned, reference books can help you learn a few tricks in the IDE for autogenerating code, say, for database access.

I'm in my junior year of college and I really spent the whole time just partying and getting decent grades but not really learning more of like last-minute studying. Anyway, I'm near the end of college by my spring semester I will be a senior and I still don't have any internships or any skills that can get me there. By my estimate, I only have a year at most to become employee material, but even I think this is far too little time for me. How do I begin? Am I fucked? Where should I begin this quest to becoming employed?

I'm just an almost total noob, but I figure it'd be fun to try out making an IB software (wouldn't ever want to host a chan, just for fun coding and exploring concepts) as a first real project to practice doing something more than just exercises. Had a look on githubs imageboard tag, and there's a load of them, but since I'm just a beginner I can't really tell bad from good.
>TL;DR
What's a good imageboard software to look at the source of for inspiration and good structure?

Thank you very much! Especially those lecture slides about webscaling, I haven't read up that much on webdev, more just general proggr. so it'll definitely be useful.

I've been too busy with other things to get started yet, but I'll pop back in with an update when I actually get some stuff coded up.

You could.
It would be kind of like pixel art just instead of picking color values you pick a which coefficients each macro block should contain.
You would start by writing a graphics editor for the task.
Something like select a macro block and then select which "wavelets" apply to that block.

Could be a neat trick for 4k demo completions or games that should run on 8bit embedded cpus.

I'm sorry for working for free in Open Source. If I had any choice in the matter, I would not. You see, I cannot be employed because of legal circumstances. If I make income, I will lose my only means of financial support. That being said, I basically have no choice but to contribute to keep my skills.

No hard feelings?

Just learning C++ and I'm trying to make a basic calculator. For some reason it won't provide an answer to the question.

#include "pch.h"
#include <iostream>
int getValue()
{
std::cout << "Enter a number.\n";
int x;
std::cin >> x;
return x;
}

char getOperator()
{
std::cout << "Enter an operator \n + for addition. \n - for subtraction. \n * for multiplication. \n / for division. \n";
char y;
std::cin >> y;
return y;
}


int answer(int x, char op, int z)
{
if (op = '+')
{
std::cout << x + z << '\n';
}
else if (op = '-')
{
std::cout << x - z << '\n';

They are just another classification algorithm. All the Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence conversation around it is just hype. It's a complex statistics equation and not intelligence. We cannot really build a computer algorithm that matches the way a human neural network learns because we do not understand the human brain well enough to mimic it.

Google currently has the most advanced deep learning network and has no idea what to do with it, because network latency has not caught up with ANN technology, in other words we all have shit internet, because telecom monopolies essentially rule our countries and can just enjoy collecting fees for subpar service because there is nothing any of us can do about it without having a trillion dollars to bribe politicians with in order to deploy a modern network. Eventually this will change and then ANN/deep learning you will see some significant changes.

Imagine a hand held, wearable projecting or contact worn device that when you walk into a small restaurant in Hong Kong it can tell you everything that is going on the second you enter. For example, what language various tables are speaking, what conversation you can join and which one is private, what order is currently being prepared, etc. Translation can be instant so people with different languages will be able to easily communicate. Probabilities of danger can be calculated to warn the 'user' what's about to happen if they run across the street since the ANN has already learned their running speed. This is generally referred to as hyper reality https://youtu.be/YJg02ivYzSs

For that you'll probably have to use the Blueprint debugger. Try stepping through things and examining the values of each variable as they change and try to see what's going wrong. Look for values that do not match your expectations of what they should be.

Hey guys.
I'm making a little game in unity right now and I'm building the quest system.

I want to make this system open ended, as in a quest requirement could be anything from clicking a ui button to changing any property in the game.

My first thought was to make a " " simple " " parsing engine to detect my own processing tags (i.e. $player.name) and then build a crapload of utility functions to execute any possible command.

The problem is that this game is a simulation, with a HUGE array of possible commands, and a huge amount of granularity interfacing those commands with all the data classes.

Is it possible to convert plaintext to c# AND run it while the game is running?

Example quest:

questID = Tutorial_1
questTitle = Welcome to the game
questDescription = Helo $player.fullName;. blah blah blah
questGiverId = (automatically set by system)

questGoals<String> (list):
[0] player.personalProperty.getBankData().getPrimaryAccount().balance == 100,000,000;

Rewards: gameSystems.events.pushEvent(Main_2.asset);

etc.etc.

I think the plain-text structure will be the easy part. Almost all 'text-code' will be stored in lists where there is ONLY 'text-code'. One statement per element.
The exception to this, is in display text, where I would piggyback what I'm already having to do with 'get' statements denoted by $ and ended by ;

As for the functionality I need... That's what's lead me to this. Let's take a use-case from my game for example:

The game includes a (simplified) 'bank' system. This system keeps records and logs on transfers between players in the game. Perhaps a quest requires a player to transfer a certain amount to someone else... perhaps a quest RESULTS in a character transferring something to the player.
Either way, this occurring THROUGH the bank system is important.

There are a ton of systems throughout the game like this. I've considered writing a ton of custom listeners, a command-line system, a bunch of stuff. Nothing has the appeal of just being able to script:
"thisQuest.questGiver.initateBankTransfer(thisQuest.questOwner, 800,000)"
and stick it in a List<String> for when it's needed.

I get that what I'm asking sounds excessive here... but anything else I can think of feels like it will wind up being a spaghetti code clusterfuck. My big concern is the runtime overhead if a lot of these compilations go off at once.

Maybe a bit late, but I had a similar situation.

At the end I adopted a different approach using spidermonkey. It's the previous javascript evolution and has interfacing to native classes.
You build C++ classes that bridge your system and the js environment , and either run it as standalone or call it from your system to evaluate embedded strings.

The great advantage is that it is sandboxed and whatever you feed (even if it's ridden with syntax errors) it doesn't influence your quest system.
