Computer Programming / c++ programming on mac
« on: April 03, 2014, 04:05:30 pm »
I am starting to learn C++ and have only done book work so far (learning syntax but not applying anything yet). 
My goals are to develop applications and competitive programming (code forces, top coder and USACO). 


I use a Mac OS X, version 10.7.5, Intel Core i3 3.06 GHz processor, 64 bits.


Does anyone have recommendations as to what to use to program?  I have heard of dev C++ (Orwell), Xcode and Codeblocks. 
Also, if there are any tutorials on using these platforms, please link me to them.


Thanks.

General Calculator Help / Re: TI-Nspire CX CAS not charging

I suggest putting it in the microwave for 30 seconds to thaw it out.

Just kidding.

Try charging it, and then hitting the reset button right afterwards.  I did something similar, and it turns out that
it's probably a display problem (it doesn't appear to charge, but it is charging).
If that doesn't work, call the TI company (they have their phone # on the back of the box). They are very helpful :)

Hi everyone!
I am new to omnimaga, and I am just starting to program.
Here's a brief description of what I've done so far:

- BASIC (6th grade-nothing too extensive). I created a basic tic tac toe game
- C# web forms.  I created a few applications to do calculations (mainly for science fair lol)
- Visual Basic - this was a school course, so not too rigorous i guess you could say.
- Java - I only know the basics of it.  I don't know any fancy algorithms.

I plan to start learning C++ to make ndless applications and for USACO.  How should I proceed about learning it?
I don't have any compiler downloaded (I have a Mac OS X i3 by the way).  A few people recommended CodeBlocks,
but I have heard mixed reviews about it.

Any suggestions?


P.S. Is there an introductory page to this website? I'm very confused  :crazy:
