Title: Best pogramming glossary? Post by: Lethn on May 11, 2013, 12:33:17 PM So here's another random thread I'm making about programming and great news, I'm actually vaguely beginning to understand this stuff the more I mess around which seems to be how a lot of people learn anyway, there's only one problem though, I want to learn what every little bit of code means properly rather than just wtfing about it if I change something. Then I realised there is such a thing for this, a glossary! I've been searching around and found some stuff that's been helpful but what I'd really like is something that's near enough complete and explains every little thing out there in the language for you.
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~evs/intro/handouts/prog-glossary.html http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/program.htm Does anyone have better lists than this? Or does such a glossary not exist right now?

Most IDEs are free & have pretty good syntax highlighting and context-sensitive help that is linked to the net in some handy way. Is this what you're looking for, or am i way off?

Post by: Lethn on May 11, 2013, 11:20:24 PM Well I'm mostly learning C++ and OpenGL, yeah I'm using Codeblocks and the more I mess with it the more helpful it's being, but there are times like when I'm using glTranslate and glRotate that the help decides to bugger up on me and I can't get the code working because it demands that I do two different things in the same line. When it does work nothing happens, maybe I should post what I'm working with too? :D I think I just need to look into the code a bit more though.
Edit: I just figured out what I did wrong with glTranslate at least :P sometimes I just need to look at the code when I'm less tired. |
