Hey everyone...
I'm relatively new to programming (only seriously been learning for about a year) and have somewhat mastered VB6 and before and VB.net. I started learning C++, but haven't progressed much as I have much on the palate at the moment; a friend and I are developing an RPG using sprites and basic directX, so I have many things to draw, systems to figure out, etc... :D (I know I could go get an engine, or go read algorithms for damage and mitigation etc, but then it wouldn't feel like "my" game :-\)
But yeah, I'll be hopping around the forums and as I learn I'll try to help out new comers.
