Wait just a minute before I pick my jaw off the floor...
I just saw Prelude logged in. I thought she was dead or something. I rubbed my eyes, but nope. She was still there.
Been a long while.

She has been lurking for some time... obviously a prelude to her contributing again

I would hope so. She's a mean coding machine. Along with you, Salem and Daved, largely responsible for many of what I have learned of C++.

Wow, this place even taught you, Mario, how to code? Whoa...
Code:assert(mind == blown);
If your mind doesn't blow, the execution of your code will.
The forum has been around for a very long time.
I'm was already a programmer when I joined back in 2002. I used to code mostly in VB and Delphi and a little known language called Lightship (probably the very first RAD language, used by banks mostly, to create Integrated Management Systems). But was a C/C++ baby. My desire to learn C++ wasn't going very well since there was very little incentive (read, no incentive) at work to use the language. So I turned to these forums. The name CProgramming seemed about right. Best decision I made because in the next 3 or 4 years, this place put me up to speed with the language in a way no book or website ever could.
DaniWeb rose to prominence sometime later. CProgramming has been around since before 2000 along with these boards. We lost some members to DaniWeb back in the day, but this place seemed to answer pretty well my needs at the time, so I never felt the urge to switch. Best second decision I made because today DaniWeb is... I don't know what that place is anymore. Cboard stuck to its simpler web 1.0 formula and that is the web I like.

Hey you, terminate that in an unusual manner... :P
WndProc = (2[b] || !(2[b])) ? SufferNobly : TakeArms;
Just ask Stee
My motivation for joining: At the end of a previous job, the embedded OS team was tasked to implement J2ME applications (we knew we were leaving) on iDEN phones back in the day. I was missing my C/C++ so I started "helping" here.
gg
Wow, some of you have been coding for a long time O_o
