This is great... too bad I failed at life. Would've liked to be part of this.

Hmmmm I think I shall now actually make an effort to go to rAge XD. Seems quite interesting. I code for a locally run MMO and I've developed some ideas, but need to find a point to start. Maybe I'll get some inspiration from this

Sounds pretty awesome! One more reason I cant wait for rAge!!!

Would have been nice to attend the sessions, hopefully if everything goes according to plan I will end up in the gaming industry as a game programmer one day. I always knew, no matter what, that my occupation will resolve around games.

Hectic! Which MMO do you code for, RoseZA? Do you have a degree in Computer Science/Mathematics or did you do self-study?

Yesh I code for RoseZA. Been a bit limited due to my degree but I'm slowly doing some reworks and porting features from the official servers, December I'll spend some time on the Open Source client.

I am currently studying Electronic engineering and I'm pretty much self taught. Been spending time honing my socket programming skills and I'm going to be moving on to OpenGL or DX depending on what mood I'm in, but by the looks of things I'm gonna be going OpenGL

Checking in

Just checking in here.

Feel free to ask questions before hand too
We will be filming and uploading the videos of the sessions, so if you miss out at rAge don't feel too bad, but definitely make a plan to come through. It is gonna be crazy.

You will also be glad to know that there are the community meet ups that we have once a month at the Microsoft offices here in Johannesburg are there too. Check them out, lots of great and international content.

 

[TheAvenged87]

Good to know. Thanks for the link. See you on the weekend

Good to see local peeps trying out new stuff and hopefully impressing the audiences at rAge

 

[Sven Bergström]

New stuff? we have been doing this since pre 2006 I think?

The last 2 years were a tad quieter but this year we are back full steam.

Yeah likewise man... alas... I'm doing Tech Support
Well kinda could blame myself for being lazy and not making more effort but ja.
