Programming Group

TechWiz777

I'm back! (Though no one missed me :) ) and I have big plans. Sadly I don't have the expertise and strength to make all these big plans come to life. I was wondering if anyone would like to join with me in a programming group. We could work on larger projects and put them together. If you want to, comment here, and then I'll send my personal email address to you through this website's inbox. Thanks to anyone who wants to join in advance. You don't need to be a good programmer by the way. I just want people to help. The big names like PhiLho and Chrisir, asimes, and quark, Kevin workman, Tfguy, you know who you are, are busy so I can't always ask them for my help. That is why a programming group would help. Thanks guys!

TechWiz777

No one?

TechWiz777

Hello?

GoToLoop

You've got neither any group (only you by now) nor any code! And I think "hiring" is a tad exaggerated! :(|)
Why don't you try https://GitHub.com? If your project is interesting, folks might show up to help ya out! O:-)

TechWiz777

OY mate, but I don't have a project. I just want a group.

Chrisir

sounds fun!

I don't have much time, but count me in.

I'll watch this thread

Chrisir

what are the big plans...?

TechWiz777

Thanks Chrisir. Now we have to make this a mutual agreement. Send me your email through inbox and I will send you mine. Great that you want to join. Big plans, like cool games, learning software, you name it.

Chrisir

Send me your email through inbox and I will send you mine.

TechWiz777

Fine.

Chrisir

Great.

Doing something in group is Great! Much better and I will join if you start project ( for example in github).

Why don't you think of an idea and ask others to cooperate?

Besides, if you "hire" someone but don't pay them, it's not really hiring. Having somebody work for you for free would count as slavery :P

Courtesy of coloredmirrorball I changed the title. : /

Arco. I'll send you my info through inbox.

TechWiz777

We still need more people. Please join and send requests to my inbox. Or reply on this discussion.

TechWiz777

Hello.

A group is just a highr degree of commitement. -

TechWiz777

Come on everyone, join.

TechWiz777

Okay Chrisir. Chrisir good news!

TechWiz777

I'm in school, where GitHub is blocked. Will do at home though. How was your trip?

Chrisir

it was nice! Thank you!

TechWiz777

My teacher bought some arduino, and they will be shipped to my house in approximately 2 days. Hooray!

Chrisir

I didn't manage to upload on github ;-)

Sorry!

TechWiz777

Chrisir, it is great! I know I haven't been contributing, but that is because I am working on a soundtrack. I play violin, trying to see what I can do.

RywesTech

I will upload it to github

Chrisir

thank you! I didn't manage that. How can I do it?

;-)

RywesTech

I would suggest downloading GitHub for desktop, then sync it. If you do not want to download the application, then you can edit it online in GitHub by clicking the "edit" button.

P.S. I would suggest download the GitHub application because you are going to use it a lot in this project probably.

TechWiz777

Yes, rywes, we are.
