1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

Well, I looked down and asked my feet: mitosis that it makes sense. You nuclear-ly that you'd twin accolades with that ToD.

now what do I do with the rest of the day?
Seriously, I thought this custom import was going to be a pita. But it turned out logic actually worked on it and wonder of wonders(seriously here) my code ran correctly the first time thru.
So now I don't know whether to be scared and obsessively check the output for all 100,000+ records. Or watch netflix the rest of the day.
I honestly thought I wouldn't finish this until next week sometime. It took about 90 minutes. Totally at a loss.
Thoughts?

Ah well, you win a few and you lose a few. Buckle up for when it starts going down again.

My daughter, who has no experience programming, needs to learns C++ for a course she is taking. Can anybody recommend a good book for a greenhorn to learn C++? Thanks!

Accelerated C++ is the only book I recommended for teaching C++ - i recommend it to beginners and seasoned developers alike (it's a great refresher). It's accessible, brief, cheap, and kicks elephant because it teaches C++ using *generic programming* which is how the STL was designed to be used.

She might be interested in the C++ tutorial in my sig. It is a good, quick introduction.

Both just a couple of cheap knockoffs of "C".

Both C# and Java see so much further, because they stand on the shoulders of C!

Alas, they seem to spend too much time looking down and contemplating their own navals. The lucky ones see belly-button LINT.
(The rest of the time just awaiting the next upgrade and amazing new features they could never have done without)

Or expensive knockoffs of C++, which is an expensive knockoff of C.

From my perspective, that it doesn't let you control things the way C++ does, particularly memory. Other than that, I don't have any issues with it, although I don't know it very well.

It's like the ongoing dispute between Nikon and Canon users as to which is best.
They are both excellent cameras it's just a matter of preference...but Nikon is way better.

You realize this thread is not about cameras? 
Sorry - just messing with you!

Nikon is unusable.
Pentax is the only true path.

Nay brother let me lead you to the true path of enlightenment. Nikon shall set you free and with your purchase of a new lens you shall receive the blessing of the shutter gods.
