How I did it
It made me

It made me
How I did it: Well, I needed to use c++ for a project I am working on - so using it every day and and fixing problems really helped me familiarize myself with the nuances of the language. I bought and read a few books as well. Effective C++ was probably one of the best books I read for little C++ tips. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I went to Staples and bought a cheap file holder (like the plastic bin kind because I am cheap), and a bunch of files. Then I worked my way through the mountain of papers. The office is now mostly dedicated to office-type things - no junk in there anymore. Read how I did it…
