I’m new to C and C++ programming and I’ve learn them through books and online tutorials. But all the tutorials I’ve encountered only provide lessons that teaches us how to take inputs from the keyboard. Is there anyway to write a program that takes input from other I/O interfaces such as serial ports, parallel ports or usb? What are the knowledge that I need and the steps on learning that? I would be very grateful if anyone could provide me some links of the tutorials. Thank you very much.

I have no background in graphics programming, although I have good math knowledge and otherwise decent basic programming skills. I’m looking for graphics software or a good programming language that will assist me in computing and demonstrating biological aspects of fractal geometry. Also, any suggestions on good literature related to this subject would be greatly appreciated.

What programming software does Square-Enix use to create their Final Fantasy games, and their in game CGI scenes?

Times are tough and so is the job market. I’m considering a career in programming.

If I have no qualifications in programming:
1) How long would it take me to learn a programming language?
2) Which programming languages should I learn (which is in demand in the industry)?
3) How long will it take to get certified?
4) How much will it cost?

Education is supposed to teach us how to learn and to prepare us to be independent. Instead of teaching socialist theories of globalization, is it possible to have an home economics class that teaches one how to put in a sink or install a new toilet? It costs $190 to have a new sink installed; I had to earn $235.60 to pay for this (24% income tax removed from paycheck). I do not know how to change plumbing pipes.

I am not against hiring contractors, or reading how to repair things myself, but basic repairs course in high school would have been helpful and programming an entire nation to think one way seems like we are creating a society that will be punished for thinking outside the box.
Contrarycrow: both my children went to universities (one economic & paralegal studies, the other electrical engineering & elementary education- degrees earned). During their time in college, both began developing narrow minded “liberal” views that insisted America is the root of all evil, and neither could support their new beliefs. I like new points of view, but base it on fact and not liberal retoric.

And also what programming language do people use nowadays?

Is it true that all the programming languages are quite desame?

If you learn c++ will other programming language be easy to learn?

I heard that new languages are created every year.
