I'm a self taught programmer but I can't wait to take more advanced classes so I can learn some in depth thinks like complex algorithms and stuff like that ^^

I personally taught myself TI-BASIC using the TI-83+ guidebook. In classes I usually did some things in advance if I knew how to do it or learned things in advance. However I had troubles understanding some programming other than TI-BASIC so for that kind of stuff I prefered that the teacher teaches us how to do it.

What I'm hoping to do is to test out of the prerequite class and go directly into the computer programming classes.

I'm in a "programming" class as of now...
what we're using, alice, is hardly programming tho...everything's drag-and-drop and taken care of for you.
Fortunately, we're almost done with this and will soon 'graduate' to...logo! :banghead:

I think in the AP class we're supposed to have real coding, java or something, but still.

I'm in a web design class, but the only reason it's useful to me is for giving me another hour and a half to code. Otherwise I'm the same as a lot of other people here -- taught myself for the fun of it :)

Long story:
I started the programming quest about 8 years ago, with an old laptop with MS-DOS 5.0 in it with QBasic (which had a 5* help file) and the floppy drive broken. I wanted to learn the basics to give some functionality to it besides Nibbles. So I started making simple calculators and then I made my awesome Mastermind game in quick basic which never escaped from that computer. If someone has some qbasic program that can make comunications trough the COM port I'd apreciate :p
Then I entered high school and get the TI-83 from my sister and learn't the TI-BASIC (YAY), I made tons of programs on it and the most acclaimed in my class was my tic tac toe with "HIAI" (Half-inteligent artificial inteligence).

I finally got formal programming classes in part of my last year of high school with Visual Basic and I made a mastermind for windows. My curiosity grew up and I went wild trying to learn java, C and C++ so I gave up from these and stayed with the hello world.
In the first semester of university I had classes of programming with MatLab. Then I got my Nspire CAS and learn't my "new" BASIC.
I got scared when I look to assembly code.
Now I'm learning Lua to make the tic tac toe and the mastermind for the nspire.

Short story:
Was autodidact with QBasic, TI-BASIC (83 and nspire) and Lua and I got formal lessons of VB and matlab.
The one I domine the best is TI-BASIC xD


Hey renatose, you should really learn Assembly, I really like it. Or perhaps C for the nspire. Trying to learn Lua, aye? I know Lua but never tried it for calculator.

You seem to be addicted with MasterMind games :P
