    advanced board

    I've been reading here for a while, but I am getting a little bored with all the beginner/homework questions.
    Therefore, does anybody know a more advanced C/C++ board without resorting to newsgroups?

    How bout asking your advanced C/C++ questions here.

    Just because there are alot of homework and beginner questions doesnt mean you cant ask harder questions. I doubt you will find a board better than this one, some of the members here have an unbelieveable understanding of the language.
    What is C++?

    And do not forget that we have more section than this, and they tend to get more advanced there .

    C++ boards that don't accept newbies tend to recieve very little post. What stops you from asking advances questions here? No one forces you to read subjects that contains help and ten exclamation marks.
    without resorting to newsgroups?
    The advanced C++ boards are newsgroups, where the creators of C++ and compiler constructors hang out. If you like the web, use google groups.

    It's not about asking advanced questions, I try to learn something by reading these boards. But almost all questions are about why scanf or cin does not work.

    Boards are not here to provide you with knowledge(they do but thats not the main goal) if you want to learn new stuff you have to try it out on your own not read the board to find out something new(which happens alot too).
    Woop?

    If you think you are all bad let's see some code.
    • "Problem Solving C++, The Object of Programming" -Walter Savitch
    • "Data Structures and Other Objects using C++" -Walter Savitch
    • "Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers" -Kip Irvine
    • "Programming Windows, 5th edition" -Charles Petzold
    • "Visual C++ MFC Programming by Example" -John E. Swanke
    • "Network Programming Windows" -Jones/Ohlund
    • "Sams Teach Yourself Game Programming in 24 Hours" -Michael Morrison
    • "Mathmatics for 3D Game Programming & Computer Graphics" -Eric Lengyel

    You will never become a programming expert via reading these (or any other) message boards. This can only be achieved through lots and lots of practice. Think of a project that will be fun and challenging to do, and then do it. When you run into problems with your project, then you can come here and we will be here to help you

    I feel targeted

    As a newbie, this board is gold to me. I love that it's allowed to ask question about even the simplest stuff, as long as you post properly.

    You have no idea how much language details I've learnt from comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++.moderated. Unfortunately I cant access those groups from where I work now.
    No you dont become a programming expert by learning language details, but you do become a better C/C++ programmer by knowing language pitfalls.

    I'm not attacking anybody, I'm just asking if there's a web forum with more advanced discussions than here. Everybody has been a noob and this forum is a great help for those.

    Can you access
    http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...B%2B.moderated
    ?

    Google groups is an alternative when no news server is available.
