Active Worlds Programmers Club (Sdk)
Active Worlds Programmers Club // Sdkgod zedleApr 17, 2003, 3:04am
Hello!
I have formed a new club called the Active Worlds Programmers Club, we are accepting members now! Requirements: 1. Knowledge of a programming language or a will to learn to program. 2. Must be at least 12 years of age. 3. Must have a witness (if you are a programmer, otherwise reply with LEARN). 4. Must have the software needed to program in the language you know/want to know. (Visual Basic, Visual C++, etc.) All other information you fill out on the form is strictly for putting people into groups (for example, someone with 1-2 years experience in visual basic can teach a beginners class in the club.) The information will NOT be used to decide whether or not you are accepted. PLEASE NOTE: You will be removed from the club if you do not have the software needed to program or you lie about your qualifications. -God Zedle, club president. 5 year programmer in VB, C/C++, PHP, Perl, Java, HTML, etc E-mail me at: greg at greggage.com. or contact me on AW, my citizen name is obviously God Zedle. :-) god zedleApr 17, 2003, 3:16am

Why would you need a witness... I wonder. Worried about trojans? You should make it
a requirement for the club members to share code openly. --Bowen-- god zedleApr 17, 2003, 2:43pm

Then it's nothing more than an executable sharing club. Sure, you could claim it a
programmer club, but unless they're sharing the source... there's no point. Isn't the point of clubs to learn from your peers? --Bowen-- strike rapierApr 17, 2003, 4:26pm

Im not meaning to be offensive in any way, but in be interested in knowing
why you would even consider such a club? It is my believe that the system that we have on these newsgroups and everyone helping everyone else is absolutely brilliant and there is no need to change it, people who wish to post their source code do it openly anyway such as on bots.omegauniverse... The SDK is a good environment with which to learn but it takes the support of allot of people, I myself learnt with the help of some really good people who were always available, I took the advice I could off of this newsgroup and off others. I feel that new 'clubs' will do nothing but seperate the majority of programmers from those who may see this new club and head straight there, neglecting where allot of people will be, on this newsgroup. While I think that its a good idea that everyone who programs in the AW environment should work together to help eachother I still reserve my point that it should take part on this newsgroup, not in areas created and controlled by 1 man. - Mark [View Quote] bowenApr 17, 2003, 4:41pm

Which actually helps people learn. If you picked up an HTML book right now, or just
copy and pasted HTML from others' websites... who do you think would learn HTML faster from trial and error? The one who copy and pasted, right? Because he's experimenting. The one who's doing it from a book is learning what the book wants him to know and maybe not what he needs to know to do anything worthwile. It's great you can put tables together to show predefined statistics, but can you put tables together to show a webpage worth visiting? --Bowen-- bowenApr 17, 2003, 4:42pm

Yeah, KAH has to finish his new system which I have no idea on what he's doing.
Maybe we can incorperate the club into that instead of seperating them off from the rest of the community, or something. --Bowen-- god zedleApr 17, 2003, 10:59pm
this club was started for the purpose of helping new people learn and
collecting programmers together, it was just a way to talk to people who knew how to do what you might not know how to do.. -Zedle [View Quote] bowenApr 17, 2003, 11:27pm

you can help people directly without offering source code.
-Dion [View Quote] [View Quote] Then how does not requiring open source code help? --Bowen-- bowenApr 18, 2003, 1:26am

The best way to learn is through trial and error, not through what people tell you.
You can learn from both, but the better of the two is on your own. --Bowen-- echomencerApr 19, 2003, 1:03am
as long as your not a bomb disposal expert :)
Well I think its a great Ideal as I would like to start to create a bot my self but have no Idea where to begin. I have MS Visual C++6 and 5 CD training course on the language supplied by my work and would be glad of all the help I can get on how to create interactive bot programs. [View Quote] |
