There are quite a lot of programmers on H2G2, So we kind of gathered up and made a little place to hang out and talk unintelligibly.
This is a place to get help on Programming and Computer related issues. Questions about technology, APIs, general programming issues, mental support for users of Borland C++ Builder and anything else you might need can be found here.

Important Notice:


There's a University Project on Programming. Go check it out, see if you can help!

Submitting a question.


This is just an entry to hang threads off, Each question will be a new thread (like PR or AskH2G2. Smart eh?).

Important!


You might want to Subscribe to this entry in order to get notified of new conversations of the Programmer's Corner.
So Ask away :-)

Member Contribution:


The members of the corner are the ones that make it so great. This is the place to find links to articles, tutorials and guidance, contributed by h2g2 resarchers of the corner.
