Ruminations

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m moving from programming our account management system at work to programming on the game server team. As a result, I’m having to cram a lot of C++ into my brain in a short time. It’s engaging but exhausting work. I couldn’t, however, ask for a better guide than Accelerated C++, the book that was recommended me by Tim Keating, our team lead. I had expected C++ to be largely a matter of learning another syntax for object-oriented programming, but there’s quite a lot more to it than that, as it turns out. Anyway, I’m having fun fleshing out my resume and learning something new, not to mention tackling a job I would certainly have been rejected for had I applied through the usual channels!
