this is all very nice, but I feel much like the author of this question. I've actually worked on some fairly large projects (Robocup) and yet I feel it is not the easiest thing breaking into new realms like programming for xwindows and such. In my situation, I know quite a bit about C++ and C, but have no GUI experience. I'm currently creating an open source battle ship game that is highly scalable and configurable, but my biggest stumbling block is the GUI. I frankly don't know how to start looking and planning out the GUI, and while I have many questions, I'm not sure where I can ask them. Are there any good IRC channels or mailinglists people around here can recommend, for a programmer with a number of questions regarding GUI programming can post them? If it helps at all, I'm interested in using QT...
The ad is pretty funny. It's too bad MS didn't use a quality tool like the Gimp to make the image a little more crisp and clear. Look like I'm looking through foggy glasses.
I agree 100%. I've been working on Robocup for over a year now with Cornell, and have come to really appreciate the system and what things it can do. It is amazing watching these things evolve and detect the "right" thing to do and do it. All these Battle-War Robot shows are just plain dumb. The accomplish nothing, and are just an extension of the person controlling them. Blah!
