Then try to answer the coding (and/or design) problems that others ask questions about before reading the answers. If you feel confident about your answer, or you want some critique, post your answer and participate in the resulting discussion. For small one-man projects, I don't really have suggestions. If you are willing to participate in a larger, existing, project, take a look at the projects hosted by sourceforge.com and see if there is anything that tickles your fancy. (For an improved learning experience, it would be best to choose a project with several developers and an established review procedure.) > > Yours, > > ACH Bart v Ingen Schenau -- a.c.l.l.c-c++ FAQ: http://www.comeaucomputing.com/learn/faq c.l.c FAQ: http://c-faq.com/ c.l.c++ FAQ: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ |
