It would be nice to know about your background of what you do (i.e. what coding you do and what programming language you do and so on)

:)
Title: Re: hi
Post by: Dark_Coder on September 27, 2011: thanks everyone for making me feel welcome,

ok my background information, well..

(deep intake of breath).

I am an embedded software developer by day and an avid bedroom coder by night, I have been writting code since the days of the zx spectrum and have gone thru the c64, amiga route developing my skills in 6502, m68k asm & C..

I use Arm & coldfire micros in my day job and hate them. I love 8bits (speccy, 64, amstrad etc) . love (16's) amiga, st etc.

I have written a few emulators in my time. and have spent the last3 years at work writing a coldfire emulator for which to test our in house developed OS.

I have developed Os drivers, FAT32, USB stack.. (jeez thats enough about work)

um, born 1973, now married 2 kids. (and I still feel like its 1987) and im playing exolon on a speccy.

:D

Post by: Hotshot on September 27, 2011: That nice to know :)

So what programming language are you using Now as hobbist(mean somethings you love doing)? Asm? C? C++?
Title: Re: hi
Post by: Dark_Coder on September 27, 2011: dont use asm for hobby code anymore, no point unless its for the 64 or amiga.

most of my own stuff is for PC now and for which i see little need to bother with x86 asm

Post by: Hotshot on September 27, 2011: IF you are interesting of trying out some programming language

Free
===

Freebasic
C# Express
C++ Express

Others(there is trails to try but you have pay for it if you like it)
====

BlitzMax
Purebasic

I cant think of anymore good programming language out there at the moment....
Title: Re: hi
Post by: Dark_Coder on September 27, 2011: C is my language of choice now. its really versatile. cant think of anything I cant do with C.

I love C.
Title: Re: hi
Post by: Hotshot on September 27, 2011: Programming C is good choice and what do you like making? Own Framework? Own GUI?
Title: Re: hi
Post by: Dark_Coder on September 27, 2011: Games , Gui's, cpu emulators.

I do enjoy compiler design, I am currently working on my own version of basic.
that enjoys features from C

Those are some impressive feats of coding you have listed.

I don't know much about coding USB drivers, but I'd find it useful.

There are some people I work with who are impressed by my own coding, but I find it pales in comparison to some of the awesomeness I've seen round here.

Impressiveness must be reletive I guess.
