I recently graduated with a BS in CSC and am just getting bored with the mundane programming im doing in the industry.
im going to start making videos on basic and advanced programming topics. but i need suggestions from you guys, so if there is anything that
you think would be cool to have a video tutorial for let me know and i'll get on it.

hope to hear what you guys think.

PS: topics can be anything in programming, graphics, interpreters, data structures, game theory, physics, AI. whatever you would want to see.

I would love to see things in graphics. Especially stuff relating to shaders and the programmable pipeline.

Sounds great. I'll give you some suggestions when I've got more time and am less tired. ;P

Good to have people helping out others like that. May I refer those in need of help to this topic? (note: this may lead to many people wanting help!) Up to you. ;P

Also, i think data structures will do the community some good. You don't know how many times I run into programmers making a game that don't understand the concept of a linked list, let alone ques, templates, trees, ADT's, etc.

Not to imply that one must be acquainted with advanced data types to be a successful devver (quite the opposite) but I do think it is good to know what's available. Though knowing linked lists, arrays, and vectors are almost necessary for a game. ;P

A videos about pointers wouldn't hurt. That seems to be the hardest thing for people to grasp.

I'll agree with you there.

A video on when to use a C++ approach versus a C approach would do all of the anti C, pro C++ abusers some good.

yea sure. i love helping where i can. these days im just writing data validation code is something called REXX, its an IBM proprietary interpreted language. so i need something to do.

yeah, i think my first tutorial will on this. i will start by making a linked list in just straight C, then showing the advantages of moving to C++.
i'll allso go over things like passing by reference and so on. covering list, stacks, queues. double linked lists. etc.

i like this idea to, many times i see people just go straight to C++ when a straight C will work better. i'll have to first find a good example now.

i agree

If you'll continually edit your original post with links to your tutorial topics and change the topic to something like "Programming Tutorial Requests & Archive", I'll sticky this.

im not sure how to do this. if you tell me how i will. (im not exactly sure what you are saying.) ps: i dont even know what stickying this means. lolz. im a interwebz noob. sorry.

I'd love to see some tutorials with A.I.; what specifically, I don't know other than c\c++ for a language. I know of the various types, but as for as implementing, I really haven't done much research myself. Anything you post would be great, I'm sure somebody somewhere will appreciate it.

i love AI, i will def do something on that.
