BFIT TD: thanks I found the Yahoo discussion group , except for two guys who work at Bally's the posts are all intelligent shorts. The only concer is the guy spreading rumors about blowing away the quarter. The only thing that makes me feel better is that the Q results will go on a 10K so the stuff will be audited.

Are you getting an MS in CS? if so where? Do you have any experience with any programing language? to become a developer in C++ you need to have done some seroius work in C or Pascal.

I feel your pain. :-)

I was a frustrated physics major, all the way through to an MS. Now I write software for a living.

A good book on C++ is Lippman's C++ Primer. It's a fairly easy read and a terrific introduction.
