I decided, back in July, to take a C++ introduction course during the upcoming semester. I initially registered for an in-class course at Durham College, but I found out the day before the first class that the course had been cancelled due to low-enrollment and instead ended up taking an online course with Ontario Learn, through Durham College.
The semester is now over and I’ve just received my marks. Overall I am happy with the outcome of the course. I feel like I have a good base that I can build on. My reason for taking the course is to gradually learn Max’s SDK. I have been told that the SDK is a beast in itself, so I’m taking things one step at a time. I am going to try to get a slight grasp of the SDK next, and then if I feel like it I might go back for the Intermediate C++ course. That won’t be for a little while though.
For all you nosy ones out there :P, my final mark was 86%. I didn’t have a chance to study for the final and did kind of lousy on the exam. We were very busy the few weeks before the Christmas break, working on a few commercial projects, so my priorities were there.
I just started going through the SDK reference’s “Getting Started” section early last week, and will continue to push through gradually. I have a few plugins in mind already, and will be working towards them. I will post any progress.
