Hey, just wanted to know where all you guys are putting the code that you make into XBMC? Also I don't recognize the language it uses (It looks like HTML), but I would not mind doing a bit of my own coding. What language does it use?
Cheers
C 59.7%
C++ 33.7%
Shell 2.2%
Assembly 1.8%
Objective-C 1.1%
Other 1.5%
No wonder I could not recognize it (Only have been able to see bits and pieces that some people have posted in the few threads I have viewed, so I did not have much to go on. And I don't know HTML either.). I only know VB and Java script. Well, at least I have be meaning to get onto C++ and C.
Where can you view the code?
why don't you start reading the wiki pages that where provided. it's all there
Sorry, missed that link. Thanks, I have now.
xbmc is NOT your first C project. go print strings to a terminal and loop some ints. come back in a few years.

Absolutely can understand that. Programming is just something to pass time for me (except lately I am getting $3-5K,for freelance projects on the side) but C/C++ is just like any other programming language, takes time ,effort and trail and error to learn. I am not saying I want to contribute to the source code, but please don't try not belittle someone with backhand remarks. You don't know me or what I have done and how long it took me to get where I am or what kind of affinity I have with coding.

Checkout http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Add-ons and http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Python_development and http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=26
Yeah, that is what drew me to this forum in the first place.
Already started to learn C/C++ and it looks like fun. Looks like I will be at Stack Overflow asking questions instead of answering them.
sorry it was in no way meant to be belittening. it was meant as an honest warning, but i see that it may have come off as more.

Not a problem at all. I am sure you have a lot to teach and I would love to one day be able to help with an open source project like this. Anyways, this is just the kick in the pants I need to get started on C++ (I have been putting it off for a while now) Thanks for the advise, it is very much appreciated.

Yeah, nice one spiff
Next time someone submits a feature request or a bugfix request and you tell them to go submit a patch, I'll make sure to post a link to this
if you haven't been able to translate that into its intended 'piss off and stop annoying me' meaning yet, here's your cluestick
for what?
