SQL

[sonic youth]

do any of you cunts know it?

if so, does anyone have any books/cds/progs etc kicking about to learn?

I was ok back when I had to do bits for my degree, but it's been along time.

Select From Blahdedblah blah blah

Sorry, not much help.

it's fairly easy to learn i'm led to believe. i've picked up bits of other languages like java and vb so i'm getting the hang of tings.

I'm rusty at everything now, but if you're getting to grips fucking about in java, here's the source code (and compiled working version) of a simple 2 player asteroids / space war style game I wrote when I was fucking about at uni instead of doing proper work. It's not anywhere near finished and I think there's a version with better collision detection and a working fps counter kicking about somewhere.

It's a bit over the top with inheritance, I think I had it planned that it would be easily expandable to add new stuff in, which it sort of is, although from having a quick glance at the source code it was half way through a rewrite separating the graphics bit and the game loop. Can't really remember.

Here you go anyway if you're interested...

It's probably not the greatest bit of code you'll ever see. I might have the very simple start of a platform game kicking about somewhere, that's more of just getting something on screen and jumping about though.

If you view the html page it should come up.

I managed a rocket going to the sun in Java with controls and a radar but all the knowledge has long since gone down the drain.

I've been doing a fair bit of SQL on my degree course. Could stump you an e-book or sumplink if you wanted.

I might have a book knocking about somewhere, I'll have a look for it.
