when more peolple get actually interested in programming and hacking, the right interpretation, perhaps the philosophy itself would be obvious. I mean, when the kids get that to play with on the school..

(idk how to edit) im just fine with 'x = 5'. lets see 'x = 1+1'. then the 1+1 will be 2, and then that value will be in 'x'. so, after that, 'x equals 2', right? or 'x equals 1+1'.

'x equals 5'. or something like 'the value inside x is now 5', an important view for me, when was learning c++'s pointers.
Brazil here, I always have been trying to get excited with subjects that i learn. Thats when it gets easier to be an autodidact.

So, my way to get things cool its to visualize them. from my entire hight school i've been doing that, for example: http://wonderfl.net/c/o5vy http://wonderfl.net/c/OskM http://wonderfl.net/c/veRP http://wonderfl.net/c/oD09 http://wonderfl.net/c/kkNQ yet, still doing that on computer college http://wonderfl.net/c/jkiG

on hight school days, i even got an friend on C++ who used to compete with me. not really compete, because we would won nothing for it. instead, we colaborate. because when you compete, you can just bring your 'enemy down', to get better than him.

ok, khan's struct is well-known. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTFEUsudhfs

I really always wanted to make an website where you could just do apps, basead on your classes, doodling or whatever. if i do that, i would aim on education, website internally. really running for it.

and, wolfram's about programming + education http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60P7717-XOQ

i prefer semi colons too. i know its annoying when you write a piece of code, then you go test it. then an error occurs, then you go look for it, and finds out that theres missing an ;

besides that, its really easier to read the code with semi colon, when you get used to it.

also.. flash got optional ;
