[AGDev-newbies] finally got it

[Thomas Ward]

Hi, Richard.
One thing I am noticing when you learn several different programming 
languages, too many languages, you begin to blend and forget things 
specific to that language.
Some C++ programmers might laugh at this, but there is a logical 
explanation about what I am going to say next.
For the last year or so I have been doing major development projects in 
C#.NET. Well, it looks like C++ in many ways, but you will find 
sometimes the little differences can become big problems if you forget them.
Ok, so today I started on a quick skeliton project for my free game. Ran 
it through Visual C++ to see if it builds. Had a stream of errors as 
long as your arm. What was the problem?
Well, in all of my classes I left off the cemmi at the end of the class. 
You se in C#.NET you do not use a cemmi to terminate a class, but in C++ 
it is necessary. So my months of C#.NET has conditioned me not to use 
them, I forget, and of course Visual C++ was quick to remind me, "Hey, 
idiot! You forgot something major!"
So if I do a C++ project for you guys it will largely be a refresher 
course for myself. I know he nuts and bolts of what I am doing, but I 
might have to look something up  now and then to remember how to do 
something.
