Dear Mr Salnikov
Further to your recent communication with your Student Support Team, we have changed your registered qualification from Q86: BA (Honours) English Literature and Creative Writing to QD: BA/BSc (Honours) Open Degree. Your completed modules have been linked across.
We have also reserved you a place on M250 Object-oriented Java programming starting on the 7th October 2017 . Please note that you have until 21st September to have your funding in place and complete your registration on the module.
Dear programmers,
Any advise on which courses (preferably free) to do in order to catch up with uni-level Java courses (2nd level, so not completely basic)? End goal is to be proficient with C# and C++ as well as understand the basics, nuts and bolts, etc. Uni will cover Java and Python in 2018, they don't have C# or C++, it's more like an intro to the basics.
5 year goal is to run a successful video game dev studio.
10 year year goal is to open branches in Amsterdam and San Francisco.
I do not expect to be the lead programmer but I do expect to be able to understand what he's doing as well as pick up the slack / do everything myself in case that's needed (hopefully it won't be).
I've worked on more than 12 games by now as a writer / designer so it's not so unrealistic (or so I keep telling myself).
I've so far purchased the Unity (and C#) basics course from Udemy:

And plan to study in parallel with uni, which is more about Java. I also decided to extend my studies by 1 year so as to study programming for 1 year and algorithms the next so as not to get overwhelmed, while studying on my own ...
I always believed that there are 2 "real" types of magic in this world: fiction and programming.
It's just everyone sort of says that if you're a humanitarian, you gotta stick to it, vice versa. I don't believe myself particularly mega-smart, but I also think in life it's often more about putting in the effort than being mega-talented (both are ideal, but without the former, the latter is useless).
So yeah, I made about 3k euro in 3 hours 3 or 4 months ago on this Unreal engine game dev project (in Hungary you can live comfortably and feed your family for 3 months on that), and then I just went downhill down the lazyslope, sick of it, working out / changing my life from today.
I'll be 31 in a couple of months, and I want to set a good example to my kids, rather than being the fat(tish) bloke my 6 year old son plays PS4 and Needhog with. Heh. Not to mention my daughter who's 9 is about to enter her teenage years in a few years, no way I'm missing being the cool dad. Her step-dad is a 50 (I think) year old biker, and its not like we're competing, but ... yeah. Of course we are competing, heh.
"I want a perfect body. I want a perfect soul."
Thanks for caring / reading / providing for a platform to whine on / etc.
Peace, over & out.
