Help getting started with developing
Posted: 25 Jul 2017, 18:06
Hi,
I like the softwares I have found on this forum and I'm interested in developing my own. I'm not completely new to this. I have a programming background (or rather web coding background). But I have never tried writing code dealing with object tracking, color tracking (via webcam for instance) but I find it very interesting.
I know some of the softwares has available source code from the developers which is very nice. Best way to learn would probably be to look at that.
However, for the time being, I'm wondering what to install to get started. I figured that the first step would be to connect to the webcam and show the video stream, so that would be my first project I found a Visual Studio Enterprice 2015 copy and installed that so that's a start I guess. Another question thoug, I have seen comments on the forum where developers say that it's better to user Silverlight for webcam compatibility. What else would I use? Are you all using OpenCV in general for the image algorithm?
As you can see I haven't got it all sortet out yet. I guess it would be easy for some of you to point me in the right direction?
Also I would like to thank all the developers for all the wonderful software which I use regularly!
Thanks!
