To me it seems more like they're totally against calc programming. To me it's stupid because with calc programming you can get better at computer programming. With TI-BASIC you learn the programming concepts easily then learn to optimize like crazy due to limited language and platform, and with ASM you learn to code in low level where you have to mess with memory to do anything.

I put calculator programming on my resume. During my first interview, the interviewer was very curious and asked a lot of questions about it. I believe it helped me land my job.
Dropping by on my phone - I'm not going on vacation, I just won't have access to a computer until the end of the year.
Oh I meant christmas vacations. At least I am glad you can actually post from your phone, though (unless that's gonna be taken away too? )Quote from: happybobjr on December 14, 2010, 11:26:28 pmQuote from: DJ Omnimaga on December 14, 2010, 11:22:39 pmTo me it seems more like they're totally against calc programming.

Okay, here's the basic idea:While testing KOS on hardware, my calculator was incapable of doing math. Duh.My parent's didn't like this, and have told me that I cannot do anything on my calculator that I couldn't do when I first pulled it out of the box, and I'm not allowed to connect it to a computer.
