So I have just finished my first year at University in which I am studying Games Technology. Next year I am going to do software engineering however I have a lot of spare time on my hands at the moment and wondered if anyone would be interested in learning how to program in c++ which is the main programming language for mainstream games on PC and consoles.
If you would like me to teach you then post below and If I get a good enough response I will do them.

I've just finished my second year and its time to chilk out over summer before things get hectic.
Just because you have learned a programming language it doesn't mean you can teach it, teaching is a skill of its own. Also I wouldn't recommend any one teaching a language until they are fluent in it, its one thing being able to write code but before you teach you should know all the best practices, understand why they are best practices and be able to write efficient code.
I drafted a weather web app for mobiles using jquery and html5, the draft had over 400 lines of code, it worked but was buggy! In my next draft I did it in less than 200 and it worked a treat. That is an exaple of what efficient code practices can archive!
Im not saying you cant code just saying there is other factors to take into consideration before teaching people. I can write code but im rubbish at explaining the code but in my class I was the go ti guy for finding the bugs in code that made the scripts not work/buggy.
Hope you enjoy your next year at uni in software!

Sara wrote good luck m8~ c++ is hard not many peeps do it like me i give up to easy! headace inboundI wouldn't consider it hard, just a bit challenging. There are multiple ways on doing things in C++ and that's what I like about it. I'm not an advanced C++ person, but I understand most of the things that it's doing. Just set your mind to it and it should come naturally.
OT OP: Like Bighair said I would try to become fluent in a language. I was trying to explain C# to a friend as he wanted to develop some simple games. It's easy to write down code, but it's a whole new ball game when you try to explain it as people have different ways of doing things/explaining what it does. For example someone might say that this is the way to get user input.
getline(std::cin, yourStr);
While others could say that this is the way to do it.
std::cin >> yourStr;
Both work in the same concept, but you have to remember that it's the code that you have to pay attention to as it will be the difference in response time. (You probably won't care how fast the program executes, but it's an important factor to implement) Just continue learning C++, and don't worry about teaching it.

I would love to learn how to programme C++ I've been trying before but found it real hard and I would love having someone to teach me which I think would boost me learning Skype me - ryanmodzs or message me on kik - Grim.x
