Hello, I'm a programmer coming back into the mix, over the last couple of
months I've been watching over Linux and OpenGL, CL Programming and have
been setting my eyes over which open source project to contribute to.
I'm mostly into systems programming and I been out of the game so much
that while I'm researching the newest internet technologies like Ajax,
JavaFX, typescript.. which language should I brush up on either PHP, Python
I got so bombarded to the point that I feel like someone is cursing at me
with all these acronyms.. (I went with PHP because its open source and open
standard).
I've always been interested in Linux since it was a pup when it first came
out but thought it was too raw for me to dwell in it and I think its
finally mature enough where you can really have fun with all thats going
on.
I always played games on the PC and got hooked on gpu programming and
thought I would go into the graphics route, anything that has to do with
image processing, GPU programming or systems programming (including
database programming).
I'm still on the outskirts until I get my new PC built for total BF3
domination (geforce 660 2G gfx!!) but when I found out linux doesn't really
have a gaming ecosystem thats when my heart sank. using Wine still doesn't
support the latest games because of DirectX 10/11 lack of support so I
thought I lend my efforts to developing what Linux needs in graphics/video
coding.
Mostly done C# programming with databases but know C++. My college
professor always told me I'm a database designer so I went that route (he
meant I could design my own database (as in MySQL or PostgreSQL). always
had a thing for systems programming, never was fond of with all of these
new technologies like Ruby on Rails or Python)
also the first time I saw the site it doesn't live up to the project's
importance because the driver is what everything is going to be built upon.
I'm willing to redesign the site, keep it simple like G3D.com's website
or
even get a cheap template somewhere and use that.
I been doing a lot of research with what I need to learn to dive into
driver programming but if you guys know of any good material/books that I
should get let me know.
I'm wondering what you guys think!
