Hello, DPerry.com readers. I’m back with a gigantic list of programming languages. For some reason, the links have progressively evolved from programming languages to David Hasselhoff. Don’t ask me why. I suggest letting it be.
If you have any comments, please feel free to e-mail me at mmoraes@rogers.com or leave a post at DPFiles.com. If you’re interested in gaming, these links will definitely inspire you to force a round peg in a square hole. I’ll start off with the programming, then AI, then finish off with David Hasselhoff (fortunately, in that order of importance). BTW, my next article will be entitled “Write Things Down” – turning ideas into achievable goals. I see a lot of refreshing thoughts floating around in the forum. Hopefully, the next article (unless I lose what I wrote down… the irony) will make gamers realize the importance of writing things down. Take care, and here are the links.
